Supposed leaks in September that not only would Modern Warfare have loot boxes, the boxes would contain gun unlocks. Activision can't be running so afraid of Fortnite that they'll actually let a game treat players half-way nicely, can they? The game does still have a PlayStation-exclusive mode, Special Ops. Please know we are committed to delivering a fair system guided by the principles we've outlined here, and will continue to monitor feedback and player engagement to help us achieve that goal." We recognise this will take time to fully demonstrate. "Understandably there are still questions around how the economy will evolve throughout the post-launch, live seasons. Preempting scepticism about CoD turning over a new leaf, they add: The fact that they specify "base weapons" can be unlocked by playing suggests variants might be on the Pass. Cosmetic doodads are in, and they say some microtransaction cash (ye olde COD Points) can be earned on the Pass too. They're vague on what exactly is unlocked by Battle Pass progress.

And it has a Battle Pass.Īs is common with Battle Passes, Modern Warfare's will have free and "premium" tracks, offering some things to everyone but more to those who pay. "All functional content that has an impact on game balance, such as base weapons and attachments, can be unlocked simply by playing the game," they say. About damn time they stopped splitting the playerbase with DLC maps. So yes, the team said in the announcement, no Season Pass, no multiplayer map packs, no loot boxes.

In other Call of Duty news, the Call of Duty Mobile game is racing up the charts with more than 140 million downloads and $50 million in revenue over its first month.

He also confirmed that Infinity Ward has no plans to simply remove the 725 from the game.
In another tweet, Cecot said Infinity Ward is being careful to make sure that whatever changes it plans for the 725 do not impact the “soul” of the weapon.
