    The crazy part isn’t that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them…

    No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for… Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.

    Next year: pay to cut an opponent’s frame rate in half, as a bidding system. Whoever is offering the least premium coin gets the debuff.

    I haven’t been playing competitive FPS games for a long time, but they used to be a dime a dozen. There must be some kind of alternative multiplayer FPS that you could just play instead if you’re not happy with Call of Duty.

    Then don’t play the game. Cosmetics like that are essentially CoD’s bread and butter, and have been for decades. I don’t disagree that it’s gotten WAY out of hand, but that’s also why I don’t play COD anymore.

        50,000 people used to live here, now it’s a ghost town…

        Didn’t have skins except for on the weapons, and you had to earn those. One of the first games ever with selectable perks. It was such a breath of fresh air after years of World War 2 games. World at War afterwards was the first one with zombies though, and it had tanks in the big multi player maps. It was only 17 years ago… video games were amazing. I stopped playing after the first black ops. It is just like any other EA sports franchise.
