The "Battlefield" series is a FPS masterpiece produced by EA's "COD" aimed at Activision. Compared with the small-scale and fast-paced operations of "COD", the "Battlefield" series holds the three magic weapons of large battlefield, large number of people, and interesting sea, land and air combat, and has gained a lot of fans. " The phrase "Only in Battlefiled" is the best expression of the game's charm-any hard work can be done in Battlefield if you dare to think about it.

Rendezook in the annals of the Battlefield Series

However, there is one difference between Battlefield and COD-Battlefield players seem to prefer older works to the latest in the series. The reason for this is to take a look at Battlefield 5, a semi-finished product that has been halved, and Battlefield 2042, which is impossible to play at the beginning of its release. In short, although it is now 3202, Battlefield 1 is still loved by many players-after all, who doesn't like to pick up a beloved "wheelchair gun" and charge in the vast land of Europe?

Rich weapons, exquisite cooperation of arms, large-scale maps, magnificent music, a single-player plot that exceeds the average level of the series, the picture effect that can still be played today and perfect optimization …... Players have too many reasons to fall in love with Battlefield 1, but the game still has a fatal drawback-the proliferation of plug-ins.

From the beginning to the end, EA did not configure Battlefield 1 with any effective anti-plug components, only a device-like "ffban"-it analyzes the player's screen information through inefficient automatic screenshots to determine whether the player is open or not. But what kind of person is the "hanging brother"? Plug-in producers have long studied ffban! The plug-in casually can stop it from taking screenshots and make it useless. Coupled with the fact that EA is notoriously inattentive to the management of plug-ins, it is naturally impossible to let plug-ins submit to the authorities; what is worse, the threshold for domestic access to plug-ins is really too low, moving fingers online shopping can be ranked in Xianban. So that players open casually in the official server set up by EA, there is a good chance that they will bump into those violent or latent "hanging brothers". Therefore, the private service set up by enthusiasts has become a good place for green players (hereinafter referred to as green play), where administrators with greater authority are responsible for supervision, and violence will soon be brought to justice. In addition, private servers also have the protection of non-governmental anti-plug organizations, so that some well-known old people can not get in. Although sometimes I still encounter excellent perspective self-sighting and unpleasant "Brother permission". But in any case, green play can still play relatively happily in the private server.

If Battlefield 1 develops in accordance with the normal timeline, it should continue to be loved by players under the delicate balance of green play and plug-in, until the end of life and bid farewell to the player completely. But with the sudden emergence of a variable, Battlefield 1 of Asian Service had an unprecedented "Cyber Battle" on the occasion of the New year, and the game seemed to come to a dry end in advance.

As mentioned earlier, the plug-in governance of the "Battlefield 1" plug-in by EA is basically equal to zero, but players do not want to see the plug-in recklessly-- the United BAN Bureau arises at the historic moment, this group of players who love the "Battlefield" series spent a lot of energy, using manual video reviews and plug-ins to assist the way, stone hammer a lot of plug-ins, although the subsequent dissolution due to various reasons. But the plug-in list they have sorted out has so far benefited countless "battlefield" players. After that, BFEAC, which was born in the United BAN Bureau, also insisted on fighting the plug-in, and this list, along with their EAC plug-in, became the amulet of Green play.

The plug-in player who was hammered and added to the list will not be able to access the plug-in private server since then. In early January, he has been having technical exchanges with BFEAC and developed players who automatically kick and hang BOT. 22 discovered the loophole in the game and obtained the authority of official server management through some technical means. Then, he made this permission into a tool and distributed it to his friends, so that the green player got a "nuclear weapon". After that, a "core-supporting" member used tools to kick out some plug-ins, followed by retaliation from the plug-ins. They began to "blow up" the private service. In the face of the counterattack of the plug-in, 22 and BFEAC launched a vote in the player circle to solicit players' opinions on whether to connect BFEAC's real hammer list and EAC plug-in to the official server. A total of about 6000 players voted and finally passed the resolution with 97.7% of the vote. So, on January 17, when the plug-in players wanted to open the game as usual and happily "fishing for French fries", they found that their all-powerful official clothes were closed to them-all the plug-in players who had long been blocked by the anti-plug-in organization were automatically kicked out! As a result, seven years after its release, Battlefield 1 seems to have finally ushered in "peace", albeit through improper means.

But it's obviously not that simple, and the utopia that players fantasize about hasn't come. The long-term absence of EA has made these plug-ins already regard themselves as the real owners of the game, and they are furious when they are unable to catch potatoes. "it's difficult, then don't do it!" They began to abuse their explosive suit hangers (modifying repair wrench and flamethrower data and overloading the server with the help of the watch function) and ddos attacks to prevent most green games from playing properly. At the same time, there are cheaters who claim that the servers on their "whitelist" can be spared. This is a hot war, and the two sides are still engaged in a "cold war"-plug-in users launch a public opinion offensive, publicizing the black history of 22, saying that they have no right to interfere with EA servers, and even 22 personal information dug up by illegal means before walking on the Internet.

With the development of the "Shaowen" war released by plug-in players, green players are generally dominant-they occupy the moral high ground and have a larger total number of people. there are also private server management that effectively limits the bombing behavior of plug-ins by banning flamethrowers and wrenches. Besides, they also have "nuclear weapons"-administrative authority. Although the green play can not have fun, but it is really disgusting to the plug-in. And there is a charge for using plug-ins and launching cyber attacks, as long as the plug-ins are exhausted and run out of ammunition-green players once thought optimistically.

But the war quickly took a turn, and on January 25, plug-in players also exploited loopholes and gained access-unilateral "nuclear deterrence" turned into "nuclear bundling" and inevitably slipped into a "nuclear winter". Plug-in use of authority to kill all sides, at this time the "Battlefield 1", in addition to the Lord and the administrator, all players can not play the game, as long as you join the game will be kicked out at the speed of light. In this way, the servers that should have been squeezed in during the Spring Festival holiday turned into a dead silence, just like the battlefield of Verdun a hundred years ago.

Just like the war in history, there are no real winners in this cyber war: green players and administrators lose their beloved games, and so do plug-ins without green players who act as "French fries". If we really want to say which party has suffered the least damage to its interests? Perhaps it is the EA who did not pay any energy and paid no attention to the "battlefield" Asian server environment for a long time. The development of non-governmental anti-plug-in organizations such as BAN is accompanied by a lot of chaos, but do you EA really stand idly by all the time?

Where will the players of Battlefield 1 go after the chicken feathers? Go to the server or mainframe in Europe and America? If the delay in foreign service is too high, you need to adapt to the handle operation, and the cost of purchasing the host cannot be ignored. Switch to Battlefield 5 or 2042? The former may be affected immediately, while the game quality of the latter still fluctuates above and below the passing line. Is it empty talk to go back to the "battlefield" to play other FPS? is the phrase "Only in Battlefiled" empty talk? Give in and bow to the outside? The actions of Qin will only make the plug-in with "nuclear weapons" more rampant in the future; fight to the death and let the plug-in and Battlefield 1 be buried together? Then other green games will also be tied up and buried with them.

The war continues, not only the green play and the external fight, but also cracks within the two camps: there are unwitting green players accusing 22 of walking alone at the beginning, causing themselves to be unable to play; there are also plug-in users of other organizations who think that this is meaningless, and that "nuclear explosions" are not only a waste of energy but also impossible to catch potatoes.

Of course, the haze of war can not be shrouded in the head forever. At the time of writing this article, some players have been able to enter the server to play normally (although it is not guaranteed to play completely); both sides of the war seem to be negotiating. In the future, maybe plug-ins will abnormally coexist with green games as before, but at least they can play. What is even more unexpected is that EA, which has been stocking Asian server players for a long time, has finally come to an end! It is reported that they have begun to deal with the matter. But judging from the feedback from the player community, EA seemed unable to fix the vulnerability, so they disabled the administrator's management panel-- it was a little funny, but it did stop the abuse of "nuclear weapons", and now the whole battlefield is in a temporary calm.

22 also issued a statement as to how long this "Cyber Battle" will last and what will be the future of Battlefield 1? No one can be sure. After a mess, the war is no longer a simple struggle for victory or defeat, and the irreconcilable contradiction between plug-in and green play has since been gory in front of everyone. Perhaps many years later, when we think of Battlefield 1, not only pull the bolt and the Thani Tower will appear in the players' minds, but also the Cyber Battle, which is as wonderful as the game itself.

Beside the point, I do not know whether it is a coincidence or intentional. EA's "APEX Heroes" updated the DDOS bomb room protection mechanism on January 26. This article comes from the Wechat official account: UCGmedia (ID:UCG_Media), author: yogurt.
