Unfortunately the rumors were falls, new content launching first on PS4 just confirmed via the PlayStation Twitter account at the end of the trailer

This is how the world of business works, my friends. PlayStation pushes Call of Duty like crazy during the holidays and it comes at a price (no Captain Price pun intended)

Lol of course. As long as Sony continues to want to spend huge amounts of money on marketing deals, this shit will continue into next gen as well.

I don't understand what's the point of this late in the gen tbh? just to make sure they stay with them next gen?
how does that make sense when there is cross play?
You will only be able to pick new maps on PS4 for a week. Weapons is the problem tho. PS4 players will have an advantage of playing with new weapons against people who don't have them for a week, or maybe it'll also be blocked from croosplay until it's available everywhere?
Always for the players, I see. What a shitty move but expected from Sony.
I mean, it's a shitty move but for the players was clearly intented for their player base not everyone. Otherwise you should expect them to release their exclusives as well for everyone.

So what happens when an Xbox person and a PlayStation person are playing together and only the PlayStation person has the new maps?

Seems completely counterintuitive to not having map packs.

Crossplay exclusive to xbox and PC?

Whenever new content drops atleast.

They still need to really clarify how their crossplay works.
Is it all platforms as in you could enter a match and have a person from Xbox, PC and PS4 all in one room.

Or is it fragmented platforms....PC players can join a match with either Xbox OR PS4 players but PS4 players never enter matches with XB1 players?

That's not bad. For instance Rainbow Six Siege season pass owners have access to operators 7 days earlier than non season pass owners if they have enough renown (in game credits) to buy the operator(s) 7 days isn't bad at all. Now if it we're a month then that'd be a problem.

That's my guess yeah. If Sony were able to put Black Ops 5 in their PS5 ads that's obviously huge

If I were to guess, when new content hits the playerbase is split into 2 groups: PS4 and XB1+PC. If a PS4 player parties up with a XB1 or PC player, they end up in the XB1+PC pool.
That'd be the easiest system and makes the most sense imo.

It's a strange thing to do in a game with crossplay. I guess they're gonna segment the PS4 players for a while until the others can catch up.

Does this stuff apply to PC users? At least it seems to be getting shorter. 7 days would be like whatever to me if I preferred Xbox over PS4 as my console of choice. They could also still be locked into some timed contract.

Crossplay can still work. It'll just be like when someone on the same console doesn't have the DLC maps and won't be put in the same lobby with those that do.

7 days is not bad, I'm totally ok with it. The more important thing is free maps that don't segregate the community.
