That's not completely true. Sure they aim to make money, that's what literally every business does, but they don't just "pump out" half assed cods each year. As they have 3 publishers for the franchise, technically each type of cod takes 3 years to make (as black ops3 did which is why it has so many features, and as will the next infinity ward cod). So whilst a cod is released each year, they are each by different developers.

That's the same thing for a lot of games anyway, etc battlefield. Which again, is mostly done by the same developer (besides hardline) yet is still able to maintain a fair system with battlepacks, although whilst hardlines wasn't bad, they were harder to get than bf4

Well the reality is you probably won't get either of those unless you keep spending money until you do. I saw a live stream today of a guy spending $200 on cases, and whilst he got a lot of the new weapons, the majority of things he got weren't what he wanted or were duplicates (4 wrenches, 4 brass knuckles, 1 led pipe, crossbow and the garand- no sword)

I was kind of lucky to get a wrench as I don't buy cases, but out of all the weapons it was the one I didn't want. So i'm not really expecting to ever get to own any of these new items, or at least if I get one it's unlikely to be the one I want as I don't plan on spending money.


Either way you shouldn't have to rely on paying extra or luck to get new items, they should be part of the dlc and not separate, or at the very LEAST be able to buy them specifically for $2-5 so everybody has equal access to them. And it just means any new guns they will do the same thing. I rely on new guns to keep me entertained, levelling up and using them- that's what kept me playing battlefield 1 and a half years after it had been released



And once again, the guns are so overpowered. I consider myself a decent player (maxed prestige level 120), and the guy with the new supply drop gun (mx garand) was a fairly low prestiged player. I just could not kill him when it was 1 on 1, it just kills you before you even get a chance to react. Yet whenever he switched back to a normal gun I had no trouble out gunning him

For those who don't play bo3 or know about the gun, it's a semi auto gun with guaranteed 2 shot kills no matter where you are hit that fires very fast. Guns in black ops also have a lot of aimassist, so it doesn't require any real effort to aim, just point in their general direction and stay near them and you will kill them instantly
