Well, yeah. It's fucking garbage but that is the nature of business for these companies. The devs crunch themselves to death, Bobby Kotick sticks $150m in his bank, lays a load of people off, sits on a beach earning 20%. Nobody is saying it's not a shitty practice, but short of literally no-one buying their games it's not going to change. The devs still need paying so the new money has to roll in.

Hah, jokes on you all. My only solo win was the bot fest, my other two are because I hid and let them kill each other/let the zone get them. In all honesty I suck at BR games. I just go to pieces and make stupid mistakes. I've never won PUBG, I think I won a H1Z1 (I know, shut up) duos with the luckiest grenade in the world, never got a Blackout win. Too old, too slow, too prone to being a cack handed twat.

It's not just a F2P thing. Destiny 2 has one. I'm too fried to think of any other paid games that have them. I have no problem with Battle Passes (Pass's? Pass'?) personally, so if it's this or fucking loot boxes I'll take this. Activision are never going to give the multiplayer away for free while they can still sell like gangbusters each October, but they do need to keep the money rolling in till the next Call of Duty. I will say I'm surprised Blackout isn't a) back for this game rejigged and b) not free to play yet.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-10-17-activision-says-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-will-monetise-through-battle-pass-not-loot-boxes No loot boxes, apparently. All through season/battle pass and straight up purchases. I'd like to think this is Activision listening to the noise made by its players which may be partially true, but I think the continuation of the egregious and aggressive nature of their loot boxes as they were in BlOps IIII would bring them under scrutiny of the governments looking into the practice and so they've shit the bed. Course, BlOps IIII could have been a test bed to see which way the wind was blowing and they got their answer. Fuck knows. Anyway, either way you slice it it's a good thing.

Yeah, it's a console many of us on here own as well as an Xbox or a PS4. The best decision Nintendo made was to stop trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Sorry if I'm being dim (again) but what happens to the mods that you sometimes get when you pick up a purple engram? I just got a class armour mod and I can't find it anywhere. Is it just a thing added to the pool of stuff you can buy from Banshee?

What are they building behind Ikora in the Tower? Also is Glory only obtained in Survival?

I'm so glad they did this. I know they vault stuff every so often but the weapon pool was ridiculous and confusing to me.

Been rinsed in every match since this so yeah, bots

Yeah if you've done it once it'll probably have unlocked the second slot. Mines closed behind 'quest progression' because I haven't done it.

Yeah same. Pretty sure they were bots because the only Victory Royales I've ever had were from being a sneaky coward.

I really enjoyed these. Problem is it's been a while since I read them so I don't know where I got up to in the series. She also does small novellas which fucks up the reading order.

Also a picture of after I washed the bear.

Shitty picture of my progress this weekend. Got flats on the little knight dude and glued Typhus and the noise marine together.

Anyone give Hunt: Showdown a go over the weekend? I'm really not sure about it despite really, really enjoying it when it goes right. Not sure how I'd feel after Bloodline rank 10 when your hunter gets permadead when you lose.
