Good thing no one is forced to buy them....
You miss the point with what they did for black ops 4.
- Each new event padded out lootboxes with stuff no on really wants, stickers, etc.
- There are something up to 2000 items in loot boxes now due to each event.
- You are not duplicate protected off the bat either.
- If you don't get the new weapons during the event by playing religiously and earning them through the tier system, they get shoved with the other thousands of items in the lootboxes.
The lootboxes then become the ONLY way of getting new guns. If some guns are very powerful, this becomes pay to win, whether its gambling for it or buying it outright (which you can do).
I loved BO4 on release, but then i got a life, and i couldn't complete each season within the timeframe. If i wanted a new weapon, well fuck me. I would either have to try and play more for a change to get 1 item I want out of 2000 that i could possibly get 3 times each or I would have to pay to get something new.
It ruined the game.
