Microtransactions

Here's a quick text explanation for those who don't want to watch:

 

You get 10 sets of 10 custom classes meaning 100 total classes.

You can name each set of classes, as well as each class.

Whichever one you edit, or have highlighted last, when you back out of CaC will be the set you have in game.

You can change the group between games by going into CaC and selecting the one you want.

You CANNOT change the group in game. So if you go in with a set of all snipers, you'll have to stick to that set during the game.

 

I honestly hate this. I got excited and was expecting an additional 10 custom classes. This does me no good. And you can't delete them once you've bought them.

I bought them not knowing it was 100 classes, I thought just 10 extra, I did this between games and was flipping around the "tabs" and then the game started and I was stuck with 10 classes with nothing on them. I thought this is dumb and had to back out just to be able to pick a class. Why do you need 100 classes, unless they do it like MW3 where you could select different scorestreaks for each class I don't see the need for 100 not even 50.

if you play alot of different gamemodes or moshpit then the class slots are ok other than that they are pointless.

 

10 for tdm

10 for domination

10 hardpoint etc....

 

Then you can just switch to each tab before going into the game saves having to make a class each time you want to play a different mode with friends. Saying that who uses more than 2 classes per gamemode? i have offensive/defensive for domination etc but thats only 2 per game mode not 10.

overpriced piece of shit microtran$action$ from money whores Activi$ion

 

here are the 4 new rip off personilaztion packs from Activi$ion

  • Cyborg Personalization Pack
  • Dragon Personalization Pack
  • Paladin Personalization Pack
  • Comics Personlization Pack

 

Our friends at Charlie Intel have too received details from a source. According to them, a poll will begin on Thursday 23rd May where players will be able to vote for two of the camos by using the Black Ops 2 in-game message of the day. Only the two top-voted camos will go on sale on Xbox 360 from 29th May and not all four. The voting ends on 28th May and the winning packs will cost 160 Microsoft Points each

 

so they made 4 camos but are only putting 2 on sale? with the ones that have the most votes?

 

personally i dont care. i just posted the news for you guys

Oh get over it already. So they have a few two dollar camos, they've gone years without any microtransactions. And they come with reticles and playercards too so it's not that much of a rip-off. Go look at the Gears of War camo prices and rethink your comment. I enjoy customization so I kind of like the added camos. And I like being able to buy the ones I want instead of a fifty dollar pack.

I remember posting in last years cod forum (or was it the year before that?) that I was shocked that this hasn't happened yet.

 

It's bound to be coming. Loads of people would pay for it.

 

People would pay for it but how many of those people would stick around on the MP after reaching max level, also being the most played MP means something to devs & is also a great selling point for their games, oh & also factor in future DLC if everyone bought double xp & reached max level quickly how would it affect DLC sales if people stopped playing the game after reaching max level, are they really gonna pay £15(i think) just to play the maps a few times just to get board as theirs no real incentive for them to play the game anymore.

All of these are just cosmetic so I don't see the problem, and to be honest if Activision kept this up in an attempt to make more cosmetics and slowly bring down the price of their expansive map packs then it should be embraced.

 

yes, i agree.

 

free to play games have lots of microtransactions, which is acceptable. battlefield play4free for example.

 

you start with a few guns from each class, but you can buy more guns and buy camos using real money. so the game is free, but you pay for extas

 

but in this case, you pay for the game AND extras, if black ops 2s multiplayer was completely free, i would be perfectly fine with microstransactions.

 

ea have also taken off the online pass system, which is technically good news, but a lot of people fear they will be heavily using micro transactions in their future games.

 

for eg battlefield 4, there may not be as many guns at launch, because ea will take them out, and launch them as microtransactions for more $

 

UPDATE:

 

here are the camos

@WoodsMonk, I know that from experience that other DLC thats downloaded on the console that runs both GT's can use that DLC but not sure if it will work with the camo's my first assumption would be yes. I did this with the Battlefield 3 premium content were the console the content was 1st installed on anyone who ran a GT on that console could play the content.

Seriously, enough with your hate of Activision and Treyarch wanting money. They're companies. Might as well be "edgy" and change every companies letter S to $ because clearly they all want money right? If this irks you so much why bother posting it? You're giving them more publicity which could result in more sales.
