Call of Duty fans have heavily criticised Activision for a newly-released 'pay-to-win' bundle deemed the most egregious…
Now the bundle is actually out, players have reacted angrily to what they see as a depressing change in philosophy when it comes to Call of Duty microtransactions.For years now, Call of Duty has largely avoided pay-to-win accusations by focusing on selling cosmetics either directly in store bundles or through premium battle passes, with gameplay-affecting items such as new weapons unlockable through the completion of challenges.
However, this year has seen the launch of a number of new premium bundles that have added"bonus effects" for DMZ, marking a worrying step along the"pay-to-win" road for the series. For example, the Classic Ghost Pack, which costs 2400 CP , includes a free two-plate armour vest, a 15-minute weapon cooldown for each of the two guns included in the bundle, and adds one more active duty operator slot for DMZ.
The Roze and Thorn bundle is cheaper at 1800 CP but just as problematic for DMZ balance. Not only does it include the skin with the free UAV, but an additional active duty operator slot, and two weapon blueprints, each with a 15-minute weapon cooldown.
