"boots on the ground"
Moar buzzwords please

I think they have to say that because of the jump pack flying fest the last couple were. Didn't go over well.

I find it ridiculously funny how its usully the people complaining about this shit in games that are the same ones that keep BUYING SEQUEL AFTER FUCKING SEQUEL!


Goddamn whiny dudebros, grow the fuck up and put your money where your mouth is.

None of this comes anywhere close to the outrageous practices that are rampant in the mobile gaming sector though.

I know I'm a huge DICE fanboi, but I really don't see how them:

A) being able to earn everything through normal progression in a reasonable timeline.

B) letting those who would pay $$$ for loot boxes bankroll all DLC for all players.

C) Making sure that there isn't one starcard that affects base trooper health or weapon damage.

is at all deserving of this "worst in class" shit.

I've been playing the South Park: Phone Destroyer mobile game, and GODDAMN that game is a fucking money sink. Which is hilarious because South Park actuall made an episode of their show ripping shady mobile gaming practises. And Phone Destroyer is nowhere near the worst of the worst, and in that game you need to keep spending money to get the normal grind worth of loot from playing the game, if you don't spend money, you get about 1/3rd of what you actually earn at the end of each round. You might have actually earned a SUPER LEGENDARY RARE card, but you'll never know it if you don't pay $$$ to flip over spots like a bingo card at the end of the round.

The last BO game had the worst lootboxes I've ever seen, so strange that they didn't get the hate they deserved.

The ONLY way to get the best guns in the game that gave you a SIGNIFICANT advantage in multiplayer was to get them through special loot crates. You had a random chance to earn one at the end of a round, but I played that game for about 150 hours and got exactly ZERO of them. I was not alone according to player reports. I bought the DLC and was awarded one of these crates, that had a gun that killed about 50% faster than anything earnable through normal progression.

I had the option of paying like $80 to get more chances to get these special gun crates.

Having game-progression tied to paid loot crates is divisive enough, but AT LEAST you'd think that it would be possible to get the same gear by just playing the game. 150 hours and zilch.

Fuck that.

Not being much of a CoD player (when I do play them it's in single player only) I wasn't aware of just how sleazy it was done in this game. It seems that Overwatch brought loot boxes into the mainstream awareness and companies like EA, 2K, and Warner Bros sleazed it up to epic levels. I never thought the day would come when I'd actually be hoping for government intervention into the gaming industry but these sleazefuck companies will happily keep pushing this predatory, exploitative shit into their games until they are made to stop by law. Fuck these soulless, shameless, greedy fucksticks who brought us to this point. And a special FUCK YOU to Valve for thinking their hands are clean in all this because they are just far enough removed from the equation that led to situations like Trevor Martin and those Syndicate fucktwins whose lies and deception have exploited millions out of the gullible and the addicted through their sleazy CS:GO skin gambling sites.

I just wish they would try once to do big map Multiplayer w/ vehicles & try to compete w/ BF .
It would make things more interesting than the last 12 years of COD postage stamp maps in MP ,.. see if they could pull out actual 'warfare' on a grand scale , like Dice... and push Dice to step up their game .


oh what a dream.......

I thought you said "Boobs on the Ground"

After playing and thoroughly enjoying Ghost Recon Wildlands, I don't think I can ever play a linear military shooter again.

If it's Treyarch, I might be interested. I generally liked their games. But yeah it's COD and jumped the shark way back I know.
