The microtransactions is a big kick in the teeth for a lot of people.
Personally, i am kinda sad they did it, but on the other hand i don't really care much for it either.
It's just that it is a paid game, with a stuffton of DLC and now even with microtransactions.
I know you need money to keep developing, but this is kinda silly.
Either way, i find most skins silly and i never cared that much for skins.
Let's hope the rest of the rewards brings better more enjoyable things.
The gun balancing kinda threw me off when i looked at my weapons.
I was confused at first, but i think they did the right thing there.
Back in the day you pretty much got the whole game in one big purchase on a cd. If they added anything after that it was a pretty rare for it to appear on a patch since new stuff was usually was reserved for an expansion pack. With base game you got all the guns, all the maps,
all the planed content, and misc features. With expansions you usually got another campaign to go with the base one, more multiplayer maps, more guns, and more content.
With DLCs devs have gotten lazy and scummy. At all the big talks they talk about all this great content, then when it comes to release they cut most of it out and release a stale game. Then they start throwing paid dlcs at you for all the content they cut out. Then come along weapon packs, map packs, and other paid content. That in my opinion is a pretty good sign that the devs are on a decline.
In opinion I'd rather have the old days back where you had one completed base game and expansion packs to add on that. Rather than getting what feels like unfinished game that gets completed with tons of smaller DLCs. The profits and publisher/kickstarter money can then go into the development of new games. I think that continuously adding onto a game with dlcs will only encourage more bad practices and scummy ideas.
