Thanks to the development of blockchain technology, War Field is making playing games a cost-effective thing.

War Field is a first-person shooter game similar to "Cross Fire", but the difference from "Cross Fire" isWhen the player kills the enemy or causes damage to the enemy, he can get the enemy's GLDR, a digital currency based on Ethereum technology.The Alpha version of the game is currently on the PC side, and the Xbox and PlayStation versions and the mobile version will be launched in 2019.

The founder of War Field, Mironovskis from the Czech Republic pointed out: Every player can recharge GLDR, players can put different amounts of GLDR on the character but at least one (this is called betting in the game), the GLDR bet The number varies with the player's level. The number of GLDR represents the player's "life value". When the player is injured, he will lose a certain amount of GLDR, and the "life value" will drop. When the "life value" drops to 0, it means that the player sacrificed. In order to maintain the game To be fair, the system prohibits advanced players from entering the novice area.

Players can use the GLDR in their hands to purchase needed items: weapons, armor, medical equipment, clothing or styling, and additional protective equipment can reduce "damage". Users must also pay GLDR as a fee to enter special events, including tournaments and other competitions.In order to prevent fraud, all transactions in the game are recorded in the blockchain, and the system automatically flags unauthorized modifications and operations.If the game team finds a violation, the player will lose their GLDR and be banned from the game, and any rewards received in the game will be withdrawn from the account.

According to the white paper released by War Field, 70% of the total GLDR will be sold to gamers. GLDR has been on sale since June 28, offering a 60% discount up front. As the sale progresses, the discount rate will decrease. The gaming team aims to have a value of no less than $0.01 per GLDR by the end of the sale on November 15th. After GLDR has been unlocked and started trading, it can be put into an ERC-20 compatible wallet without quantity limit and can be freely traded on currency exchanges.

According to Newzoo report, there will be 230 million gamers in 2018, and the investment in games will reach$137.9 billion, an increase of more than 13% year-on-year. In the face of a market full of potential, War Field is not the first game company to combine games with blockchain, from the pet-raising game CryptoKitties to the blockchain game "Cell Evolution" developed based on Nebulas, " The Fairy's Wardrobe, etc., including Internet companies such as Tencent and Kingsoft, have also entered the blockchain game. However, unlike previous blockchain games, most of which focus on pet collection and gambling and lack entertainment attributes, War Field, as a fighting game, has more entertainment attributes than previous blockchain games.

Although War Field has its own advantages compared with traditional games, its disadvantages are also obvious. War Field is based on Ethereum technology. Currently, Ethereum can only process 20 transactions per second. Such a low transaction processing volume makes the peak value only The CryptoKitties game with 9750 users can also clog the Ethereum network. In recent years, the game "Cross Fire" similar to War Field has the highest number of simultaneous online users.6000000, it is foreseeable that the current transaction processing capacity of Ethereum will limit the development of blockchain games.

The second is that the gameplay of War Field is not fashionable. Domestic game companies such as Tencent added the concept of "gold coins" to its online game "DNF" 10 years ago. Players can get gold coins by killing monsters. Using gold coins can To buy props, the more important thing is that the gold coins in the game are connected with the real legal currency. Players can buy gold coins by recharging RMB, and can also exchange the gold coins obtained in the game into RMB. Instead, War Field complicates the simple gameplay. In "DNF", players do not need to recharge money to get gold coins dropped by monsters, while in War Field, players must recharge GLDR before entering the game to get the opportunity to "beat people" to make money, and third-party transactions are also introduced Therefore, such a gameplay will limit many "poor" players from the game.
