Microtransactions now live in Black Ops 4
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
Given the lack of media coverage this seems to be a smart strategy Activision has. I wonder if they'll do something similar with Sekiro.
I guess the people who were complaining about lack of content and citing microtransactions as something missing are one step closer to buying.
CoD has had microtransactions for years

How much to unlock tiers... it's going to be something vile like £1 a tier isn't it?
Edit: If the amazon price for Points is correct that's £70 for all 200 tiers. Every 50 days or so there's a new tier list. So that's what... £500 a year to buy all tiers? Seriously hope I'm way off with that.

Unlike Fortnite, you are not buying items directly here. You are buying a "Special Order" that you have to fill up by completing tiers. You have to complete 10 tiers if you get a Legendary Special Order, or 5 tiers if you get a Rare Special Order.
You can buy tiers directly as well, 100 points (1 dollar) per tier.
edit - there is no time limit on the tiers

Really crazy to me that they can get away with little to no discussion of mtx during it's launch by just delaying it like this. Worked out for them I guess .
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, because everybody knew it was coming, and it's a pretty tame system at that. It would get pretty much zero backlash.
OP
OP
Call of Duty has had mtx for a long time.. everyone knew it was coming. Not to mention, its all cosmetics or buying tiers for the existing free "battle pass" type system.
This sounds like a bigger pain in the ass and potentially more expensive than Fornite since the Blackout pass goes to 200 tiers. Ahh what a bummer this is shaping up to be.
Black Ops 4 has a Battle Pass that is available for everyone for free.
Yeah, now that I've seen this a couple of times I know to wait a few months on any AAA game that doesn't detail their microtransaction plan. These companies obviously learned the wrong lesson from Battlefront 2.
They included a battle royale, which is worth more than a SP campaign.
But this is nothing like Battlefront 2 and it would get no backlash on launch either. People saying this have clearly not seen how BO4 MTXs actually are.
Last session I played, I only gained 2 tiers after an hour or so. Is this still the case, or have they added daily and weekly challenges to speed it up? From what I've seen, there's some expectation to purchase tiers. In that 200, they don't offer a whole lot if I remember it right. Just colorways and emotes until the final tiers.
And honestly, I purchased one battle pass in Fortnite and I always seem to have enough to purchase the next season's without spending more cash.
Weird that they'd give me 1000 COD points on Xbox One today with a splash screen (the first image in OP) but not actually have the store for 7 days because of PS4 exclusivity. 'Here's 1000 COD points!' but nowhere I can use them and no explanation of what they are.
Just as long as they don't put new weapons in the supply drops.

MTX have been in since Advanced Warfare, so about 4 years.
The info in the OP is confusing then... I guess I don't understand this: There's different Special Orders, which unlock different tier streams available to unlock with Call of Duty Points. Each stream costs a different amount of Points.
There's also a pic of the bombero special order, and it says it contains 10 items including the bombero skin.
100 tiers for 10k CP points that's probably $500 worth? but what if i tell you that it's only $99.99 best value for you if you buy today! Buy now while supplies last *Supplies are imaginary now so we don't run out but you do*
Can't fucking wait love me some microtransactions.
The cosmetic stuff in this game is complete garbage anyway and such a step down from black ops 3 to the point of being completely pointless.

Hurray! A happy day indeed! As long as they don't interfere with gameplay, it's all good.
If people want to spend money to play dress up on digital avatars let them. I don't know why people get so upset about this. The game launched with plenty of content to justify 60 bucks at launch.
