I bought Blackcell with my MS Reward points and it's an incredible value IMO. With the way the COD community was simping for Valeria and Alejandro, IW could have easily charged $30 for those skins alone. Instead you're getting 12 skins, 1100 COD points ($10 worth), multiple weapon blueprints, decals, vehicle skins, charms, loading screens, emblems, calling cards etc.
It's so funny seeing people gladly paying money for different colour guns and clothes on characters in expensive games when those things should be for free.
".....IW could have easily charged $30 for those skins alone."
"......loading screens......"
Loading screens? LOADING SCREENS?!? Jesus Christ, how did we get to a stage where people are saying it's incredible value while paying for loading screens? 🤦🏼♂️
I still play CoD every season and you are apart of the problem and anyone else who buys it. COD is in a rough state right now but you still throwing money at them. Do you think Activision sees all the negativity regarding the game when they can see people who will still throw money at it then wonder why none of the billion issues get addressed?
What's even funnier that they tried to pull this cash grab when the black and gold camps for characters and weapons were given away for free in Vangaurd.
why does every Xbox fan feel the need to preface EVERY fucking post they make with "thanks to Gamepass I was able to...." or "with my MS rewards points I spent..." We get it. You guys are cheap. You've been conditioned to like hamburger helper over prime rib. But trying to act like MTXs are awesome because it was...free? Really?
EDIT: I guess you're smarter than the average whale Boo Boo (say it like Yogi the Bear)
With the latest season they really turned up the in game advertising for battle pass. Really trying to make you feel like you're missing out on so much by not buying it. Pretty annoying imo
It should’ve been $20. Skin prices are over priced, making this seem like a “good deal”. I’m pretty content with the regular season pass I’ve only payed for once. I also feel like this black cell is targeted towards us too since we only payed $10 and getting every follow up season free if played enough in the two months
Why I hate COD menus now... they're just so cluttered with a ton of crap. The BP and whatever hot and new microtransactions always gets plastered in your face on startup.
And I kinda despise the technique where they keep telling you what you WOULD have gotten if you just had their battle pass. It's marketing disguised as progression mechanics. Other games do it too but it's pandering. I just want to go in and play the game I paid $70 for without feeling like panhandlers are asking me for more money every 5 minutes
Thought it was all hot garbage honestly. Bought the Battle Pass since I had 1000 coins available but those overpriced outfits all looked awful. Black and gold was the trend around the late PS3/360 era for some reason.
I rather wait for firewall and play pavlov if i need online shooting. I paid about 20e for pavlov and its 10x more fun in VR without paying for loading screens and battle passes.
Can't believe gaming has come to this and that this is considered "Value". It's dreadful. I remember when these type of things "Loading Screens" used to be unlockables or incentives to put more time into the game. When they start selling Gun Sound effects, I'm sure people will start buying that too.
You know as much as I think of it as ridiculous there is also the other side of the coin... The people that end up spending money for this stuff are funding all the Free2Play games that are out there like Apex and Warzone. So I do like getting up play a few of those for free.

To be fair, $30 is the new $15. So you’ll get $15 worth of content. Inflation a *****

You are literally paying money for loading screens.
And $30 is a game…. Pavlov is $25 full price.
Hard pass.
