You can’t 100% blame activision. People are deadass buying this stuff. Look back at MW3. They had the King Kong fist melee weapon that you needed to buy 4 other packs to get. So basically the fist cost $80. And people really bought it.
Bundles are cosmetic only…. You now get all maps, weapons, etc for FREE.. what more do you guys want? I get the game needs to address cheaters and stability,. But complaining about cosmetic micro transactions isn’t gonna solve any of it. Remember, you aren’t required to buy anything..
@ the issue is not micro-transactions as a whole, it’s the fact that they put more efforts into that then polished, smooth games. It’s 2025 there is no excuse, especially after the last COD their excuse was they had to split the team to start working on a new title. F that I paid a fortune to play the current title and I expect it to be perfect as a paying customer. Most places you can get a refund for buggy, broken merchandise
@@LiilJiimmiinah still on them for moving people off the dev team and or hiring more people that aren’t fixing the game. I doubt there isn’t even a QC team anymore given the amount of bugs that release each new update.
Also, the biggest problem is that, unlike other live service games, this is still a full price game, which, by the way, will stop being relevant a year after release.
@@LouRaX warzone is as and full of cheaters though, cod in general is not much fun to play anymore, SBMM in multiplayer, slide canceling and tac sprinting, doors in MP maps, map design in general is ass. its alright saying that when the game just sucks and i used to love it, esp AW was always high rank in ranked play.
It was people like you complaining about having to spend a tiny little more money for real content to this shit. Thank you for being the main reason gaming as a whole is going down the shitter all because you are a cheap bastard.
This new model is so much better atleast to play the game and experience new maps now you don’t have to spend anything… people complaining are usually the ones who buy stuff
Ive said this a billion times Black ops 2 had the best micro transactions because you got so much value from it each weapon skin was $2 and it came with reticles calling cards etc. YES $2!!
Don't know why people like you praise those stupid camos that they put in the game. That's was the start of the problem with how transactions are today
I think they added the blackcell to battle pass because most people would just buy the first battle pass and use the cod points from that to buy the new one 1100 cod points
life was so simple you'd be in class ,and you'll overhear that the newest DLC maps dropped you'd run home and ask your parents to get it for you. Good times

Damn the first cod where I have disposable income to spend on bundles and bp (bo6) has the worst most overpriced skins imaginable. I remember playing Cold War wishing I could get this one cool skin that looks militaristic but still cool and now that I could buy a skin in bo6 there isn’t a single cool military dude. Hell just give me an Adler skin from the campaign and I’d buy it (not for 2400cp tho haha)
A few things that are a fair to mention: • Infinite Warfare made a huge change compared to AW and BO3 where the DLC guns were available basically for free (had to complete a simple quick challenge to get it), obviously the variants weren’t free, but this was much better than AW and BO3 obviously • Infinite Warfare’s Scorestreak variants weren’t pay to win because they were extremely simple to get for free. They costed a very small amount of Salvage, which can be earnable through a small amount of playtime. • WWII’s system was basically the same as MWR but it had contracts and orders that allowed players to earn cosmetics and DLC guns a lot quicker than you could in MWR • Black Ops 4 fixed their Supply Drop system shortly before MW2019 released (or it might’ve been shortly after), and now it’s actually a good system. You can easily earn pretty much every item in the game for free just from grinding. Including DLC guns.
Modern warfare was one of the best cods we’ve had ever. Warzone 1 was Peak, Multiplayer was Great, Campaign was amazing. Grounded cosmetics and the store had a realistic military feel with the covers to each bundle, the game was the SECOND MOST POPULAR cod as well with 41M Copies sold which is only 2M less than Bo3. It also is the most complete game in a long time that actually had a full development cycle with every animation, and everything feeling complete.
The only plus to buying the bundles with real money opposed to CP was you’d get roughly the same amount of CP for your buck plus the bundle, which was kinda nice, but were imo the only bundles worth buying
My theory is that BO6 does not have any actual post-launch updates, it's all for Warzone and they decide to just add it to BO6 to please the community that "woooo, we getting new updates, bundles etc!!!!".
There is two things I want to add. Original CoD 4 and World at War, I don't remember paying for the DLC maps on PC back then. It was before the games were on steam and I think I just downloaded the map packs from gaming sites. I might remember wrong. Also, when it comes from the Battle Pass for MW19: I bought the regular battle pass for season 2 for that game. Since then, I have not needed to pay for another battle pass in any of the seasons for any game after that. Every battle pass gives me enough cod points to buy the next battle pass as long as I played enough. And I would never pay extra for bundles so I accually have not payed Activision anything since I bought MW2, and have still been able to collect all items in the battle pass. I don't defend them at all, but I did not catch you mention it in this video. Keep up the work
Miss your Verdansk MW 2019 videos. 2019-2022 was awesome, sad to say Call of Duty doesnt give you actually content to cover. You deserve better, you should become an Arena Breakout Infinite Streamer
I’d happily go back to the original mw3 dlc model in a heartbeat. Most player friendly model cod has seen, especially compared to supply drops and fortnite style battle passes as well as cod bundle stores.
I think its also fair to bring up the fact now bundles are filled up with AI art (which is zero value, you could make it at home) to justify the higher prices. Also adding them to the event rewards to fill up space, too. Charging more for something that literally took them 0 dollars to make.
I’m still so used to how back in world at war and bo1 days dlcs were $20 each and everytime I hear about a new zombies map coming out it’s almost instinctual to think about that money I have to spend for it, then I remember it’s free these days. Kind of interesting.
5:02 the radar device on weapon really made the game even better. Adding much more detail to it, I don’t see why they even removed that within the cod games after that.. personally I really loved it
Dude I had no idea your channel was still a thing! Been with you from your beginning on you channel under 20k subs I guess my TH-cam unsubscribe on you. Congrats on a million re sub glad to see you still doing this!
Everytime you praise Treyarch as a softwarehouse just remember that those guys placed inside loot boxes the stingray, a 1 tap kil semi auto nightmare that stil haunts my dreams.
Saw this coming the moment the peacekeeper in B02 was released. Along with the addition of Michael Myers and the Predator in Ghost. If they could add these two into the dlc, then nothing would be off limits.
21:00 so we just skipped mwiii? The game that OUT THE GATE released with super silly VERY HIGH priced mtx? Bro they were pushing the 3000+ Cod point bundles at us this year!
As a 25 year old I firmly believe that if you spend a single penny on DLC that is your own and not your parents when you are 14 years old. You need to sort your life out 😂
I think ghosts marked the point where they'd gotten really greedy. They ripped Makarov and Price's Model straight from MW3 and sold it for 8 bucks. If only we knew the situation would get even worse back then...
modern warfare remastered was the best supply system and ill be honest i wouldnt even be mad if cod went back to this or other games used it, it gave you a goal to complete and work towards and you knew eventually you would get what you wanted and instead of just mindlessly opening drops to never get what you wanted
AW at least gave you free supply drops every 20-30-40 levels. I use to just keep them saved and have a big supply drop opening. I didn’t spend a cent on those supply drops and got all the legendary variants you could think of
I play WW2. I don't help Activision/Treyarch. Even with your video,people will still buy skins and battle passes. And the cycle will continue. Playing WW2 with little to no sbmm and 0 micro transactions daily is so refreshing. Also,staying in the same lobby with the same players and free to talk on the mic.
Activision knew what they was doing when they was collabing with Nicki Minaj, because her obsessive fans, specifically STANS would eat it up and buy the game just to try out the operator skin in a trash game
At this point, they’ve officially turned into freaking rockstar but the difference is that they make updates and Rockstar didn’t make any deals with crossovers like Nikki, Daryl, and others
What i liked about the supply Drops, you could get them without paying money ... i loved grinding for them and get some really cool stuff. Nowadays, most of the good stuff is locked behind a paywall😢
Modernwarfare 2019 is the exception. Where loot boxes would require a potential (as you call it “infinite amount of money), loot boxes were removed. Additionally, all maps and major content additions were available to all players for free. MW2019 is one of my favorites. But I might be wrong on this, but to my knowledge at least MOST of the content that requires to pay for (ie, the bundles, camos, skins) they are purely cosmetic. Actual guns that have different stats aren’t locked behind a pay wall but instead are unlocked through gameplay like 3 hip fire kills in 3 matches so on. As long as COD sticks to this formula where paid content is purely cosmetic, (and granted maybe abandon the flashy Neon pink celibrity outfits) I think it is fine. But yes what BO3 and BO6 has done between guns in loot boxes and paying for events those things are atrocious
Stop buying the bundles, and then they'll listen to us. If not, then they'll keep doing the same ish every year. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results...
If they do something like they did with BO4, people would start playing the game more. Bring back BO4 Quard and hot pursuit in BO6, the number will increase. Just saying.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they allowed us to continue playing as a “random person” in campaign but LET us equip the skins we’ve bought. And honestly that’s a super stupid idea, but I feel like they’d do it- and they’ve already done it with zombies already…..
Honestly COD is getting deeper and deeper in a whole where eventually no one is going to play it no more……. Honestly I just can’t wait till Delta Force is available on ps5 so I can finally leave COD
although the supply drop system in bo3 was extremely predatory it seemed like you got a dlc weapon within every 100 rare supply drops opened but i definitely preferred how IW and MWR did with obtaining the dlc weapons n i wished that wouldve continued into bo4s lifecycle at the very beginning and they didnt wait until like a month before MW19s release to finally implement a system where you could directly earn the weapons you wanted just by playing the game
Both bo3 & bo4 were both used as testing waters to see how much Activision could get away with & their plan completely worked out as now there’s $20-$30 bundles since MW19.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the hammer and bo4 30$, he also didn't mention that they fix it all when the game ended and made everything for free which they've never done before
imo the supply drop era was the absolute worst, spending 20 bucks to just get a blueprint u didn’t want with 2 pants from a set you also didn’t want. absolutely disgusting
Activision is rolling out more bundles than updates for their games
Same for bug fixes
You can’t 100% blame activision. People are deadass buying this stuff. Look back at MW3. They had the King Kong fist melee weapon that you needed to buy 4 other packs to get. So basically the fist cost $80. And people really bought it.

Stop buying the bundles, and then they'll listen to us. If not, then they'll keep doing the same ish every year. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results...
If they do something like they did with BO4, people would start playing the game more. Bring back BO4 Quard and hot pursuit in BO6, the number will increase. Just saying.
cod4’s variety map pack had such good maps
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they allowed us to continue playing as a “random person” in campaign but LET us equip the skins we’ve bought. And honestly that’s a super stupid idea, but I feel like they’d do it- and they’ve already done it with zombies already…..
Honestly COD is getting deeper and deeper in a whole where eventually no one is going to play it no more……. Honestly I just can’t wait till Delta Force is available on ps5 so I can finally leave COD
Downfall started in 2014 with advanced warfare
The elite style was awesome i wouldn't mind that style again
call of duty is turning into a supermarket
although the supply drop system in bo3 was extremely predatory it seemed like you got a dlc weapon within every 100 rare supply drops opened but i definitely preferred how IW and MWR did with obtaining the dlc weapons n i wished that wouldve continued into bo4s lifecycle at the very beginning and they didnt wait until like a month before MW19s release to finally implement a system where you could directly earn the weapons you wanted just by playing the game
nice video ro its great to have a record of this
bro has 13k cod points sitting there what a fruad
Both bo3 & bo4 were both used as testing waters to see how much Activision could get away with & their plan completely worked out as now there’s $20-$30 bundles since MW19.
You forgot to mention the peacekeeper was the first DLC weapon. Great vid tho
The outro was quite cool
I'm surprised you didn't mention the hammer and bo4 30$, he also didn't mention that they fix it all when the game ended and made everything for free which they've never done before
imo the supply drop era was the absolute worst, spending 20 bucks to just get a blueprint u didn’t want with 2 pants from a set you also didn’t want. absolutely disgusting
You know you DON'T have to buy Micro Transactions right ? Spend your money however you want, but you don't have to buy them.
