Its Gonna Be Funny in 10 years if your hard drive gave out and feel like playing this and cant get the update to get past the title screen cause the networks down, same reason i never bought tony hawk 5 ,heard it was super limited without an update

^^^ This right here, of course Activision won't care about their 10 year old game but at some point in the future, this game will literally be unplayable. Well they can keep doing this BS but when the digital copy costs £59.99 and I can buy a retail copy for under £45,it's not a hard choice for me if I was actually going to buy the game. Plus I'd also have the option to get even more of that money back by being able to trade it in when I want.

This is my main issue with going digital; this and the fact that I don't want to upgrade my HDD every few years, or I keep deleting games.

Same, i also sold my ps3 library for relatively cheap but that alone would have been enough to buy the ps4 -and i didn't even factor in for how much i sold the ps3 console itself.

That 's why i only buy really cheap games digital ( let's say under 15 bucks) and the majority will be physical on all of my consoles as long as physical versions exist.

So what happen if the game taken offline and you can’t download the patch to play the game on another console? The disc would be useless also in this case.

Thats a bit of an assumption.

Napalm,

Trust me, I wish I'll be proven wrong.

All I've seen is it has a 40gb day 1 patch. A couple of websites are listing the total file size between 130-175gb. And now it appears unplayable for anyone who can't download the patch.

But this is all being reported from people with leaked copies so it's not easy to verify the authenticity of the claims obviously. However, it's Call of Duty and Activision so we can expect the absolute worst based on reputation.

Just like the Spyro remake-which is also from Activision.
No. You need an update 1st, then you can play campaign.

Thanks lads, fuck that for a laugh. They just had to go and ruin it.

"Stop complaining about valid things!!!!!"

Yourrre aaaaaa reeettaaarrdddd suckerrrr for acceptingggg Activision'sssss cockkk uppppp yourrr assssss.

They didn’t say there straight-out will never be lootbox in the game. What they did say was:

"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."

Notice the word “right now”? They didn’t say anything about “never”. Obviously they choose their PR words carefully so they can easily go back and do a 180 on them.

@King_Noctis

You're not posting the most updated message. What you're posting is from Infinity Ward. Activision themselves posted on their blog how the MTX model will be.

https://blog.activision.com...

Here is the part from the blog that tells us exactly how it will be:

"Today, let’s address the basics for the in-game economy coming in Modern Warfare.

· We are introducing a new Battle Pass system, not a loot box system.

· All functional content that has an impact on game balance, such as base weapons and attachments, can be unlocked simply by playing the game.

· The new Battle Pass system will allow players to see the content that they are earning or buying. Battle Passes will launch timed to new, post-launch live seasons, so you can unlock cool new Modern Warfare-themed content that matches each season.

· With the new Battle Pass system, players will be able to earn COD Points by playing the game.

· There will be both a Free Stream and a Premium Stream of content in the Battle Pass System in Modern Warfare. New base weapons will be earned through gameplay, simply by playing Modern Warfare. Functional attachments for base weapons can be unlocked through gameplay as well just like in the game’s Beta.

· The Battle Pass and the In-Game Store will feature a variety of cosmetic content that does not impact game balance."

End of quote.

There will not be loot boxes in this game. No company would risk the enormous backlash they'd get by inserting loot boxes on top of a Battle Pass system. They could also get sued by going back on their word here as this is a statement from the publisher, not the developers. What devs promise or not got less weight to it because at the end of the day, they're not in charge. Activision is in charge.

Make no mistake, Activision wants to make money. And they will as the Battle Pass system is a proven model that works because of its transparency towards the customers. The customers still want to spend money, they just don't want to spend money on gambling boxes. There's also legal implications with loot boxes as the list of countries banning them is growing. I don't think Activision is doing this out of the goodness in their heart, it's because their old business model is dying and tainted. And it won't be sustainable when it becomes illegal and brings nothing but bad PR

@DigitalDaniel

There is nothing in that statement that would make them legally liable should they decide to introduce loot boxes down the line. And if Activision has proven anything, its that bad PR is strictly a secondary concern.

You don’t have to open it yes, but that doesn’t mean those lootbox aren’t affecting gameplay.

Also, if it is so “optional”, then why include it in the first place? Why not let gamers buy the contents that they want directly instead of locking them in a random box like a casino?

They can change the whole way a game's progression system is designed - GR:Breakpoint is now the top example.

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
