Agreed to make bad games, What the Hell is Titan Fall 130
by admin## Chapter 130: A Joint Offering by Titanfall and Pacific Rim
“Multiplayer?”
Seeing the prompt on the screen, Da Xiao Mei was taken aback.
This game, until now, had always given off a strong single-player vibe.
Everyone, including Da Xiao Mei, had been prepared to enjoy three hours of immersive gameplay, even exceeding the experience of watching a movie.
But they never expected that a “Multiplayer” stage would appear after the Signal Tower stage.
Da Xiao Mei was surprised.
The viewers watching the livestream were also astonished –
‘What the…?! There’s multiplayer?!’
‘Whoa—did the commander say there was a big battle because of this?’
‘Maybe, the main forces are here, and they’re going to fight the IMC on Typhon.’
‘What the…?! Full-scale war, epic scene!’
‘If it’s multiplayer… will everyone be piloting their Titans and fighting?’
‘What the…?! Titan brawl? That’d be awesome!’
‘Don’t get ahead of yourselves, didn’t you see the prompt? It says the more players there are, the harder it gets.’
‘But it’s gonna be awesome!’
‘Is this the start of a real movie-level scene?’
‘Hurry, hurry, find teammates, quick! Hurry, hurry, hurry! I’m the king of hurry!’
‘I want to see a Titan brawl! I can’t wait anymore!’
‘…’
“This is interesting…”
Da Xiao Mei paused the game and opened her friend list on the platform, wanting to see who was playing and join them.
However, as soon as she opened the friend page, she saw Zhou Jie’s avatar flashing madly –
【Don’t Second Guess Zhou Shu Yi –】
【Da Da! Da Da!】
【Did you finish the first chapter of the second half?】
【Hurry, hurry!】
【One spot left, just waiting for you!】
【Titan battle! Come on!】
【Are you there or not!】
A barrage of messages.
Da Xiao Mei was quick on the draw: 【1111111】
【Ding! “Don’t Second Guess Zhou Shu Yi” has invited you to join a voice channel.】
Without hesitation, Da Xiao Mei followed the link Zhou Jie sent and entered the platform’s built-in voice channel.
Then, she widened her eyes in surprise!
There were six people in the voice channel, including her:
Piao Lao Shi, Lao Ma, Qie Zi, Dong Gua, and Zhou Jie.
‘What the…?!’
The barrage went wild!
‘All the top streamers are here?!’
‘What the…?! All the top streamers from Shark TV are here?’
‘Is this lineup even real?!’
‘Only TTF can have this kind of spectacle, so many people playing together.’
‘These six streamers combined have a live viewership of 400 million…’
‘This is insane! Shark TV team going on an expedition…’
‘…’
Six top-tier streamers!
All converging in this chapter!
Da Xiao Mei was surprised, but she didn’t forget to greet them:
“Hello, hello, everyone! I’m here!”
“Oh, Da Da’s here,”
Piao Lao Shi said in the voice channel:
“So are we all here now?”
“One, two, three… six, all here, let’s go, let’s go!”
Qie Zi counted the heads:
“Let’s form a team in the game.”
“Okay, okay,”
Zhou Jie responded:
“I’ll create the team, Bro CD, Piao Lao Shi, you guys join.”
A moment later!
The team was established in the game.
Da Xiao Mei entered the team and asked curiously:
“So, this stage is about us piloting Titans together? I saw everyone in the barrage talking about a brawl.”
“It seems like it,”
Zhou Jie replied:
“But I’m not sure about the details, everyone’s just reached this point. I was planning to call you and form a team.”
“But then Piao Lao Shi invited me, and I thought, why not just fill the team up?”
Wow!
Looking at the people in her team, Da Xiao Mei couldn’t help but smile.
This was insane.
Although she was now one of the top female PUBG streamers.
But in front of these five, she was still a little shrimp.
The six were ready!
Amidst a wave of nervous breaths, the new chapter began –
The screen was pitch black.
A rumbling sound echoed in her ears, and Da Xiao Mei felt like she was sitting in the cockpit of a BT, swaying with the occasional bump.
It felt like…
“What the…?! It feels like we’re on a plane?”
This feeling was all too familiar!
Da Xiao Mei, who jumped out of the plane 800 times a day, was all too familiar with this rumbling and shaking.
If she wasn’t mistaken, they were flying in the air.
As soon as she said this, the others also realized it.
“Yeah—it seems like it, this feeling is familiar—”
Lao Ma agreed first.
“Hahaha, Lao Ma is too familiar with this feeling…”
Piao Lao Shi couldn’t help but chuckle, teasing him.
“Whoa—what the…?! Brothers, are we going to airdrop onto the battlefield?”
The hyperactive Dong Gua couldn’t hold back anymore, his adrenaline was pumping.
“It’s probably going to be hard, guys, cover each other.”
Zhou Jie took a deep breath nervously, reminding them.
“WDNMD, come on! Don’t be afraid, I’m feeling good today,”
Qie Zi was confident as always:
“Everyone in the livestream, watch and learn!”
Qie Zi’s classic confidence made everyone chuckle.
Just as they were talking!
Dong—Rumbling—Bang Bang Bang—Boom—
Thick gunshots and explosions came from afar.
They seemed to have reached the battlefield via a transport ship, and intense gunfire kept ringing out!
The screen gradually lit up.
As they had guessed before, they were all inside the cargo bay of a transport plane.
The cold smell of steel mixed with the smell of oil filled their nostrils.
The already cramped cargo bay was made even tighter by the six towering Titans, flanking both sides.
And amidst those hulking figures, Commander Briggs stood on the maintenance platform, holding a tablet and addressing them:
“Alright, Pilots, listen up,”
“The IMC has developed a spacetime fold weapon, powerful enough to destroy an entire planet,”
“But without the Ark as its energy source, the weapon can’t operate,”
“We must seize it before it leaves the Air Force base!”
At that moment!
An exciting and stirring electric guitar riff began to play as background music.
It was like the growl of a beast before it attacked, like the fuse burning before a cannon fired, like the prelude to a grand symphony, and even like the sound of a horn signaling the beginning of a massive battle!
And now!
The level name appeared in white letters on a black background in the lower left corner of the screen –
【Fiery Judgment】
【This chapter is a joint offering by – Titanfall and Pacific Rim】
【BGM: Pacific Rim (Original Soundtrack)】
【Special thanks to: Legendary Pictures】
At that moment!
The streamers and their viewers screamed in unison!
‘What the…?!’
‘It’s the Pacific Rim theme song!’
‘Ohhhh—!’
‘A crossover like this?!’
‘This is insane! This is like a kick in the ass—an eye-opener.’
‘Whoa, whoa, whoa! I’m getting goosebumps!’
‘The soundtrack is so intense, I’m waiting for the orchestral crescendo!’
‘I’ve always been watching Titanfall, haven’t seen a drop yet, this airdrop is going to be explosive!’
‘It’s already starting to get intense!’
‘…’
It was true! Although Legendary Pictures’ sudden invitation to collaborate was unexpected, Golden Wind still had a week left before their release.
Gu Sheng could patch up TTF during that week.
For example, the soundtrack for this stage, 【Fiery Judgment】!
At the time!
As soon as he heard about the Pacific Rim collaboration, Gu Sheng had his sights set on the movie’s theme song!
While TTF’s soundtrack for this stage was already pretty good.
In Gu Sheng’s opinion, it couldn’t match the atmosphere of the Pacific Rim theme song.
After all!
He made small changes to this stage in this world, replacing the original AI teammates with real-life players who could play together!
Up to six players would pilot their Titans, fighting their way out of intense enemy fire, stopping the Ark from being transported away!
Of course!
Gu Sheng made corresponding adjustments to the difficulty!
The more players in the squad, the more Titans the enemy would send!
If they were like Da Xiao Mei’s team, with all six players joining!
Then what awaited them would be a Titan battle like no other!
And for that, they needed a grand and passionate BGM to enhance the atmosphere of the battlefield!
So!
In subsequent talks, Gu Sheng proposed a crossover with the theme song, and sent a prepared gameplay demo to Legendary Pictures.
Then.
Thomas Tull, one of Legendary Pictures’ founders, who also served as the company’s executive president and the producer of Pacific Rim.
Went absolutely crazy.
Crossover, yes, crossover, any crossover, money’s no object.
That kind of fanatical enthusiasm scared even Gu Sheng.
Just like that!
This joint offering of an epic Titan battle, a level that would later be known as the ‘most thrilling mecha battle in gaming history’ – Fiery Judgment – was born!
…
At that moment!
As the music intensified, the six members of the squad held their breath!
“Rebellion Raider Legion! Ready to deploy!”
Briggs stood on the maintenance platform, raised her hand high!
Then she brought it down forcefully!
“Titans! Deploy!!!”
Whoosh—
The hatch of each Titan closed, the pneumatic mechanical arms extended, the launch bays opened below them, and the six pilots descended from the ship!
And at that moment!
Woo—!!!
As a horn sounded, an exciting symphony reached its crescendo at that moment!
And there!
The mountains were jagged, the setting sun was like blood!
In the enormous airport situated on the vast mudflats, the lines of defense crisscrossed, and thick smoke billowed everywhere!
Anti-aircraft cannons roared, tracers weaving into a web of fire in the sky!
Drones and attack ships fought in the air, explosions reverberated endlessly!
The Rebel soldiers charging forward fell in droves, only to be replaced by more!
And the IMC’s casualties were also increasing rapidly under the onslaught of the Rebellion’s repeated attacks!
Under the blanket of full-scale war, both armies had become a mere number.
And that number, at this moment, was constantly increasing in the bloody and brutal clash!
The rapid descent caused BT to vibrate constantly.
They had come from high above, piloting Titans, ready to turn the tide!
And along with them arrived the IMC’s entire Titan force!
Rumbling—
Boom!
Boom Boom! Boom!
As a series of powerful vibrations echoed, the six Vanguard Titans landed steadily, leaving shallow craters in the ground, sending dirt flying!
Heroes Enter!
Troopers, Infiltrators, Reaper Mechs, enemy Titans…
An army of enemies like a tidal wave stretched across the airport mudflats, and at the end of the runway, a massive ship, the size of two football fields, was preparing to take off with the Ark!
Hiss—Whew—
Da Xiao Mei took a deep breath in her cockpit, then controlled BT to raise the machine gun in its hand.
It was like their first coordinated battle, the first time they met.
Whoosh—Click!!!
The machine gun was loaded, the force field was strong, the cluster missiles were ready!
“BT.”
【I’m here, Pilot.】
“Let’s fight our way out.”
At that moment!
The six live streams exploded!
The colored barrage of 【Let’s fight our way out】 filled the screen!
‘OHHHHHHHH—!!!’
‘It’s intense! It’s intense!’
‘This is insane! This is a million times more intense than Boruto?!’
‘My scalp is tingling—!!!’
‘I’m standing up to watch this, brothers!’
‘This is insane, what the…?!’
‘Isn’t Golden Wind a game company? When did they start making movies? (funny)’
‘This is brutal, the BGM is soul-crushing!’
‘The first half is about experience and creation, the second half is about explosive action and satisfying kills, right?’
‘Nobody understands the player’s G-spot better than Lao Zhai.’
‘…’
It was insane!
Amidst the clamor and excitement!
A Titan battle of unprecedented scale began!
…
Bang bang bang bang bang—!!!
Whoosh Whoosh—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst deafening explosions, the six Titans pushed forward!
And the IMC’s Titans descended like rain!
Because they were a full team of six, the IMC’s counterattack was not only massive, but also incredibly powerful!
This only made the battle even more intense!
Sizzle sizzle—Boom!
Blazing flames rolled over Da Xiao Mei, BT stumbled back a couple of steps, Da Xiao Mei, fighting against three enemies, was seemingly running out of steam after taking down an enemy Titan.
However, as the two enemy Titans prepared to press their advantage!
Boom—
A gas tank, half the size of a human, arced through the air, landing at the feet of the two Titans.
The two Titan pilots were clearly stunned.
But before they could react.
Sizzle—
A Vanguard Titan was seen sliding into the battle, both hands raised high!
【Flame Core Activated!】
The scorching flames roared, spreading across the area where the gas tanks lay, and a boom that shook the valley rang out!
Boom—!!!
The two enemy Titans shattered and disintegrated in a miniature mushroom cloud, and Zhou Jie’s voice followed:
“Are you okay, Da Da!”
…
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!
“Hey—first ring, second ring, third ring, rocket shower, little boss, I’m just messing with you, okay?”
Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the battlefield!
Lao Ma maneuvered his Titan, dodging through enemy fire, looking for an opportunity to counterattack!
However!
As the enemy reinforcements arrived, more and more, and because his machine gun was semi-automatic, he seemed to be struggling alone.
One team, two teams, three teams… more and more enemy soldiers were firing at him.
One, two, three… more and more Anti-Titan Reaper Robots surrounded him.
One, two, three… more and more enemy Titans spotted him, vulnerable, and surrounded him, ready to kill him!
Amidst the roaring fire, Lao Ma was still able to fight back, but he was already fighting a desperate last stand!
“Positioning… positioning… oh!”
“This is annoying… I have nowhere to hide…”
“This is so annoying…”
But amidst this encirclement!
Suddenly, Lao Ma, surrounded and in a desperate struggle, heard a roar from behind!
“You little brat! Don’t underestimate the bond between me and Lao Ma, you bunch of banana peels and rotten tomatoes!”
As he spoke!
A Vanguard Titan equipped with a Beast component was seen taking off into the air!
“My goodness—【Flight Core Activated!】”
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!
Piao Lao Shi, airborne, blocked out the sky, a massive swarm of missiles launched from the missile bay!
And at that moment, Lao Ma, who was using the Power component, understood!
“【Rocket Core Activated!】—I’m gonna make you eat my—?!”
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!
A swarm of tracking rockets blasted out of the shoulder cannons!
Boom boom boom—
The combined ultimate attack of the two bombardment Titans, instantly showering the area with fire, turning the ground for a hundred meters around into a hellish wasteland!
…
At the same time!
On the western side of the battlefield!
Dong Gua and Qie Zi were engaged in a fierce battle with an enemy BOSS-level Titan!
The enemy was a Titan called Legion!
The gigantic rotating machine gun was as tall as the Titan itself, and its powerful fire swept across the ground, almost like a small bombing zone!
Despite Dong Gua and Qie Zi’s constant maneuvering, they were still being pummeled.
Bang bang bang bang bang—!!!
Another round of fire from the rotating machine gun!
The Wanderer, Dong Gua, already down to half health, was now reduced to a sliver of health.
And at this moment, there weren’t any batteries nearby to replenish his mech’s health!
Ducking behind a giant rock, Dong Gua looked at Qie Zi, raising the alloy sword behind his back!
And Qie Zi understood!
He dashed out of cover, aiming at the enemy Legion Titan, took a deep breath, and roared with anger!
“WDNMD, come on! Come on! Let’s go!”
“Damn you, MLGBD—【Laser Core Activated!】!!!”
Boom—!!!
A giant laser beam erupted from Qie Zi’s Titan’s chest, blasting Legion Titan backward repeatedly!
Legion Titan, sensing the danger, hurriedly dodged, deploying a gun shield to defend itself!
But at that moment!
A rather un-pleasant hyperactive roar was heard behind him:
“Screw you—”
“I’m going for the—”
“【Sword Core Activated!】!!!”
Buzz—!!!
The gigantic alloy sword slashed down hard, straight at the top of Legion Titan’s head!
And Qie Zi’s triumphant laughter echoed across the battlefield!
“Dong Gua, stab him! Stab him! Stab him!!!”
“I, DNMD, hahahahaha—!!!”
