I am shocked and appalled cancelling preorder

I mean, of course it does..?
Well, other companies have left the season passes behind, in order to not split the user base.

The previous CoD games had season passes, so this isn't any surprising news at all.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Patton and Rommel skins confirmed.
Of course.
How would be the able to explain to their investors that they abandoned a winning strategy? The season pass concept has to prove untenable first, and with a large audience that are are happy to make that purchase, and no signs of the community split being detrimental to player experience and retention, they have no compelling reason to go with free DLC.

I wanted to make this comment about Destiny 2 as well...
It's pathetic that we learn about the promotions and bundles that they want to sell us before they even show us gameplay.
Edit: Ok, sorry It's a leak. And i didn't know about gameplay tomorrow. This is more of a Destiny 2 rant that is overdue.
Is this really happening that much? I hope so, but really?

Oops. Bad move.
I mean... We get to see gameplay tomorrow. This was leaked a day early.
Why? I like the confirmation that there will be more content for a game I invest time and money in.

Activsion does it again! Let's divide all the communities even further,it's already split between Bo3,MWR and IW! They can't make that much money from supply drops, right?
It does not and people really should learn that. Matchmaking for any mode like team deathmatch or hardpoint will throw you in a DLC lobby if it can find enough players with DLC to create such a lobby, else matchmaking creates a vanilla lobby. the experience is seamless and no trouble for both kinds of players (with or without DLC).
This is not a game where DLC maps are dead shortly after arrival (Battlefield) or vanilla players have issues without DLC. Watch any stream of Black Ops 2 backwards comp. to confirm.
Sony has the franchise looked up for many, many years.
And Destiny?
To each their own... but I prioritize certain things that I want to learn about new games...
Not only do we know about the DLC content and bundles for Destiny 2, but we can pre-order them NOW. We can give them the money NOW. Yet we have no idea what that game will even look like yet... that to me is dirty business. Just an opinion.
I'm just venting about how the gaming industry works. Dead horse, I know...
If Season Passes are truly on their way out for many publishers, that is a MASSIVE WIN for gamers.

The reveal is tomorrow, we see this stuff early because Gamestop wants to have it up day 1 but leaks that shit every single year.

Depending on how good the mp is I can see myself getting the season pass for the first time. I'm just really in the mood for a WW2 shooter and I can see myself playing it on and off in 2018.

A COD game has Season Pass. Shocking news!

You only have to preorder the Xbox one version. There will not be a different item to preorder.
Meanwhile in the other camp:
Star Wars Battlefront II won't have a Season Pass, don't want to fragment community

AAAAANNNNDD Hype crushed. Keep that shit. So sick of split player bases. Sick of buying packs only to see them empty months later.

You know the additional bonus content is 5 free hits of drugs, sorry I mean 5 free supply drops.
I'd normally be all over this but past years have burned me hard so not this year Activision.

THere's three assured things in life: death, taxes, a new Call of Duty with Season Pass every November.
I can't comment on Destiny but this was leaked. Plus we know what the gameplay of Destiny 2 will be like. It's not unknown.

Other companies do not have the same popularity as Call of Duty.

I'll probably skip it. Seems like cod is dead on PC. If I pick up a ps4 on the cheap I might get it. Glad I got the basic version of IW massively discounted.
