It's the same with COD, they have a deal with Microsoft, so they get the map packs first. Money is the name of the game, not morality. Go whine somewhere else, because this isn't going to be changed.
First, the bold is obvious, and whining? No, it's actually making a point, I'd rather get what I should get for my payment and I won't waste money on a game that isn't in its entirety.
H, you do know it's just a time exclusive, right? It isn't close to how overpowered you think it is.
I haven't mentioned anything related to "overpowered", I'm simply stating it ruins the game through other means, if you preorder Crysis 2 you skip some of the Multiplayer content -- fact.
For some it may be worth it, but the starting hours of the game does tip the balance of power to preorder-bonused players.
There's a reason why a person with the crappest gun ever in COD can still own a noobtuber.
Because it's called balance, and even so noobtubes in Black Ops are useless. MW2 makes it ideally bull and it's often other guns (G18 Akimbo, Shotgun Akimbo, etc) that makes it rediculous and requires less skill - ya aim, ya shoot, ya win. Simple. Is it a bad thing? For me, yes, but people enjoy the more relaxed style and I don't blame them. To me, it's a bad quality game that doesn't deserve as much praise as it is constantly given, that's why I go against it so much.
I hate how all of you guys are overreacting because of this stupid preorder bonus. Don't wet yourself with fear every time they announce some preorder bonus.
Where exactly was I overreacting? I want some darn quality and there isn't much I can do other than NOT give them my money and make my reasoning clear. The game balance of DICE is exceptional but given this advantage to people is rediculous
especially because of how they handled things in the past.
then all of you boycotters stupidly not buying the game will ever take.
Not sure what you mean by this. Basically you're saying we will buy it anyway?
If so, then nope, not buying it thanks, just because a majority of boycotters wuss out on last minute and buy it doesn't mean others won't. I'm not buying CoD, and I'm not buying Battlefield -- simple as that.
and in my eyes Black Ops is the one who let CoD die for me.
Same, whilst I dislike both I have to say I was happy as hell when I figured Black Ops will be like CoD4 2.0. Was it?
The answer is pretty obvious. :P
@Aax5, buy the game, do what ya please, morality > money to anyone with integrity. I can't really even blame CoD for doing it, they're using the stupidity of the playerbase to get more income (We know for a fact that CoD players as a majority don't care if they need to pay money for the map packs, they'll get it or get someone else to do it for them).
But DICE had a loyal fanbase and they did cross a line -- it's really that simple really. People will buy it regardless, obviously, but hey -- I'm not. Enjoy your game.
Oh, and enjoy the quality dropping as you accept these kinds of things, it's probably what happened to World of Warcraft, now it's a micro-transaction fest with piss poor quality gameplay in comparison to Vanilla and BC, they're making their way back up from Wrath but that was terrible for the most part.
