It’s just leak shit right now, there is no real proof of how it will work. If it’s like BLOPS 4 and everyone has the same chance of getting the guns…then I don’t care.
I will probably bite on this one since I passed on the last one. There is just a lot to play with Gears, BL3 and Destiny.
It seems as though the Modern Warfare rumor mill has been running rampant as of recently. The latest rumor claims loot boxes will be cosmetic only and won’t grant players with a competitive advantage, much to the contrary of previous reports.
The rumor comes courtesy of Twitter user @Victor___Z, who claims weapons cannot be unlocked via loot boxes in the upcoming iteration of the franchise. The leaker claims that there will only be weapon variants, officially known as Blueprints, in loot boxes. Although leaks should usually be taken with a pinch of salt, this source has correctly leaked previous information about the game.

28 people are talking about this
Earlier this week, Activision announced the XRK Weapons Pack for those who digitally pre-order the title. Victor compared this to the type of Blueprints you can expect to see within loot boxes.
If this leak is anything to go by, fans will be delighted to see Activision leave the ‘pay to win’ strategy behind. After witnessing the scrutiny Black Ops 4 received, perhaps Activision have a change of plan in store for Modern Warfare later this year.
Throughout the past week, Activision has been receiving backlash due to the announcement of Special Ops Survival mode coming to PS4 one year prior to other platforms. In addition to this, another previous rumor claimed weapons will be available through supply drops, though Infinity Ward appear to have since debunked this. In a recent Reddit post, the Studio Art Director advised fans to “not get thrown off by ill informed people.”
Although there’s always the chance of weapons within supply drops arriving post-launch, it doesn’t seem too likely at this point in time.
While Infinity Ward and Activision are yet to comment on the most recent rumor, it’s important to take this with at least some scepticism. We’ll update you if we hear anything else.
Great first comment they get people excited and then screw customers over. Preordered I’ve considered returning but hoping the immense backlash from the community has some effect. So agree w beers about the latency. I get the exclusivity thing but don’t agree with it. It’s the loot box pay to win that gets to me in every game. Look I can afford it but I refuse to do it. It gets worse every year every game. Besides the publishers being greedy ass bastards it does nothing at all for the industry. Since it started in 2013 I think it’s done nothing to improve servers gameplay mechanics, the quality and playability of games is getting worse. Now Ubisoft too. If they put any of that money back into the games development anything. Maybe but I am so tired of paying more money for shitty games. The developers claiming its not them sorry they are complicit too. Take your talents somewhere else. I’m posting as many rants as I can in as many threads as I can. I have no more tolerance for these money sucking vampires

It really depends on the game and the microtransaction. I can’t say I won’t because I do. I bought a few Fortnite skins and I’m a sucker for mounts in ESO. Of course ESO is full of microtransactions but it’s not too bad as I do the monthly sub and get 1500 crown points per month (currency for MTX). A lot of the stuff they sell doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Player homes? Yeah, just not interested.
Now BLOPS4 MTX for the most part we garbage. I only bought 2 gun skins and that’s because I had CoD Points from buying the game. I never used real money. They probably could of got me if they provided some cool character skins but all they offered was clown suits.
I just hated how they put actual in game weapons in loot boxes. That’s just bullshit.

Oh I’ve bought a few too what is new armour without shaders. It does depend completely. My fear is it’s only gonna keep getting worse. I know I should of known better but after watching game play of Modern Warfare and playing alpha beta. I was excited for the game and then oh by the way FU. You know me I keep playing COD even when I shouldn’t. But this one felt more like a slap in the face than any of the others. So many horrible games lately. Now one that seems to have potential and “smack”. Oh you can have a huge advantage if you gamble enough. I may spend the rest of this year in the Borderlands.
No one cares if they make a good fun to play game anymore they just want you to pay up. They are making more money and games keep getting worse
Not talking performance graphics etc it’s the nonsense pissing all over the fun. It’s like buying a new car and finding out you payed 10000 too much. It just doesn’t feel the same driving it anymore

Infinity Ward says they are ‘focused on making a different’ MTX system in Modern Warfare
As the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare draws nearer, fans are still awaiting for official information from the studio as to how microtransactions and other in-game features will work for the title when it launches on October 25.
Infinity Ward’s Art Director posted on Reddit a post called “a developer POV” where he asked fans to wait for ‘official information’ versus believing ‘half baked rumors’ from some people in regards to Supply Drops and the MTX system in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Late on October 7, he’s responded in that reply to a fan who was asking for clarity in regards to the MTX system. Fans have been saying they don’t want to see another Black Ops 4 style micro transaction system in Modern Warfare.
Emslie has replied saying that they’re “ focused on making a different system in Modern Warfare. ” He also says the different system is “ one with a direct path to content for players.”
Thank you for the kind words about the effort we put into the game and I’m sorry for such a delayed response. What I can say is that we are focused on making a different system for Modern Warfare, one with a direct path to content for players.
It’s still not exactly clear what types of MTX Modern Warfare will feature at this point. Having a system that’s different than Black Ops 4 is interesting thing to mention as Black Ops 4 featured a variety of MTX systems, including tiers, Supply Drops, in-game store, and more.

I predict it will still be shitty.
I’ve heard rumors that Infinity Ward devs are fighting back against Activision. More power to them. Hoping it atleast starts new approaches to games. Bungie got out from under maybe others can free themselves.
That would be nice, Bungie definitely changed a lot of things in Destiny 2 with this new DLC and I’m curious if its because they are no longer under Activisions thumb. But I don’t see them getting out as easily as Bungie did
Infinity Ward ‘not working’ on a supply drop or loot box system for Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward’s Art Director Joel Emslie has just posted on Reddit an update on “current events” and leaks surrounding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and its loot box system in the game.
Emslie said on Reddit that more misinformation continues to be spread by certain people about Modern Warfare.
Sigh. There continues to be misinformed and incorrect info being pushed about Modern Warfare.
He then said that the studio is “definitely NOT” planning any supply drop or loot box system for the game. He also said functional items (gameplay changing items) are unlocked through gameplay.
What I can say right now is that we are definitely NOT working on any kind of supply drop or loot box system. Also, functional stuff is unlocked through GAMEPLAY. Stay tuned, we’re planning to release info this week.
Infinity Ward plans to release more info this upcoming week about the game and the loot system for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ahead of the game’s launch on October 25. There’s a lot of questions about how the studio is planning on having loot and systems work in this game.
The last statement from Infinity Ward said that the system in this game is ‘different’ than that of Black Ops 4 with a ‘direct path to content’ for players.

Ive seen some other videos today stating the same. Fingers crossed. Now I’m listening. Nice to be looking forward to the game again.
BLOPS didn’t initially have microtransactions either, right?
This is Activision and they gave up map packs. They want their 100+ bucks one way or the other.
