New MW2 & Warzone 2 Skin for Sale Looks to be Ripped Out of MW2019; Delivers More P2W Elements

Activision has not only released a new pay-to-win bundle for MW2 & Warzone 2, but the skin included seems to be ripped from MW2019.

"that bundle did well enough that the company has rolled out a new Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 bundle that once again gives paying players an advantage"

Why not create separate queues for trash/gamers, the trash (p2w) can enjoy playing with other trash.
Isn't the game 1st person anyway? pointless cosmetics lol

You would think that, right? But they're probably doing things the other way around - match the person with better/more efficient item against the player with worse gear. So the player with worse gear would lose and want to buy better items to win next time.

Here's more info about that patent https://n4g.com/news/211531...
Not 100% sure they actually use it or not, but i wouldn't be surprised if they do. I mean, they thought of that patent in the first place.

F this crap.

I refuse to play anything with pay to win.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G45d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade44d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality44d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator43d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G44d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy8545d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G45d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo45d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg45d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast44d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
