Cosmetic skins aren't a problem but the purchasable ones in COD are because they are MORE than skins - they have altered back-end stats to inflate performance to make them an attractive purchase, which then get subsequently nerfed before the next bundle is released. Players then see their gun isn't as effective post-nerf and simply move onto the next bundle. They wouldn't even sell a tenth of these skins if there weren't performance boosters in place especially when the core game has almost 200 skins already available which can be comfortably earned by playing. If these skins were just cosmetics then they wouldn't need to be nerfed on queue regular as clockwork. Skins in games like Overwatch 2016 were fine as they were outright cosmetics paid or earned but this is not how Activision operates this aspect - they literally have patents in place for monetised matchmaking purposes placing users against premium gun owners in a bid to entice a purchase and this has been in place and enforced for a few years now as well as the shills that further push this concept. If you buy a bundle for whatever reason, you are paying for an advantage whether intentional or not and also irrespective of ability. This is the same way people were buying the LA Thieves skin to gain a visible advantage. Once sales peaked, Activision then nerfed the appearance of the skin despite plenty of warnings prior and having had the same charade during Warzone 1 with a very similar skin. This wasn't a mistake - this was a deliberate and calculated money-grab from Activision in selling something that provided a clear advantage and then appeasing the complaints after the money was banked. Same applies to skins basically. If Activision opened up a store selling 1000 cosmetic-only skins for £100 each tomorrow then it wouldn't be an issue but just one skin that has vastly improved stats (mined, not in-game) then that puts the game in the P2W category.

Argentina 3-3 France (4-2 pens) Hands-down the best international game of football I have ever seen! France looked dead and buried for 80 minutes and only got their first shot on goal on 70mins being 2-0 down. 2 goals in one minute changed everything and Argentina clung on. 3-2 up and another penalty out of nowhere and after the equaliser with seconds left, France miss a one-on-one and then Argentina head wide. Absolutely insane finale! Martinez once again incredible during the penalties. Easily the best World Cup final and possibly the greatest tie ever in the competition. Argentina were perhaps too comfortable and a bit cocky second half and taking Di Maria off was a mistake in hindsight but France's comeback in normal time was just nuts and to do it again in ET was equally remarkable under the circumstances. And to think I almost didn't bother watching it😂 Gonna be a lot of salty CR7 fans online tonight - Messi now as the World Cup to cement himself as the greatest ever and Ronaldo doesn't even have a club. Mbappe has been a total prick and largely anonymous in the tournament but a player like that is a game changer and he still has a bright future at 23 with back to back World Cup Finals. Mac Allister was MOTM for me though although his efforts will get drowned out by Messi I bet.

Deserved GOTY really and can't believe it was so overlooked - it's one of the biggest success stories this year and the cheap price is just nuts really!

The publishers really hyped it up and it looked an interesting concept but the execution looks fairly dated and uninspired. I can definitely see it a few people having a go if it was around the £12-15 mark but £44 on Steam is pretty outlandish. There's been quite a few mechanically similar games in recent years so for many it just wont feel new even with a drastically different setting and backdrop. By the time it drops in price though, I will probably have moved onto other games.

Probably a magnifying light for the original Gameboy same as this Required 2AA batteries but they lasted ages and you could comfortably play in bed at night.

I've seen so many Shipment nuke world records this week and they are all done in bot lobbies. Getting really embarrassing now - do they think the audience are blind or stupid? One incredibly proud dude managed it without anyone else on the opposite team even shooting their gun once - he was literally falling off his chair with fake sweat yet most of the time the enemy team was just standing still facing the wall🤣

Sadly wont happen as Activision have players by the absolute balls. Same with FIFA - players know EA relentlessly cheat them but the overriding amount of shills and the lure of such content mean players will forever have their wallets open ready to pay up for anything and everything. Players spend $hundreds on Warzone Verdansk content which they can't access ever again and every premium weapon bundle in the last 3 years has been nerfed shortly before the new bundle goes live to bait people to move on to the new content. Players get 3 weeks with an OP 'skin', it gets nerfed to appease the non-owners and then the new one is released and the cycle repeats. If it was just cosmetics then it wouldn't be an issue but to drive appeal and sales, these bundles need to have a USP more than just being a skin and that's when they launch OP and eventually get nerfed. Even the LA Thieves skin debacle just gone wont deter anyone in the community for falling into the same trap again either with weapons or more character cosmetics. As long as TikToker's and YouTube content creators push this concept, it will exist like a disease and the beauty for Activision now is they don't even have to sponsor or work directly with such creators because these lapdogs are doing it for views or to suck up to the brand in the hope of being noticed for free.

It’s a hard watch when you hate both teams in the final😂

No way was that (another) penalty last night. Peter Walton is also doing my head in with his analysis. The player literally ran into the keeper after scuffing his shot - keeper couldn't get out of the way and the Argentinean player was never going to make the second ball and made no attempt to either. If this is the standard then you could basically kick the ball, run into someone and then claim a free kick. Keeper made a legit attempt to block the shot and actually forced the striker to shoot tamely and off-target. Refs are just getting worse and Walton's interpretations of fouls are nauseating. Him and VAR are forgetting common sense.

Haven't got round to playing the demo yet but did watch some of the footage. Bit on the fence with it really and the gameplay just seems to lack flow when compared to the likes of Nier or DMC. I'll definitely wait for reviews for this one.

I believe they sold an insane rate because it even went into Steam's top sellers which is based on revenue and considering it's £10, a lot must have been sold and I imagine way more on console. Easy money though - get the army of VPN bot-playing shills to promote it, everyone buys it thinking they'll get a significant advantage, players then complain - even those that own it and then saviour Activision comes in with a nerf to keep people partially sweet although a bit disappointed and it's off to the next £10-25 bundle!

I think England were unlucky last night. Started off a bit slow but was persistently robbed by corrupt ref. Didn’t take our chances and the penalty miss was just typical for us. Kept France largely at bay including the overrated Mbappe who the media seem to suck off relentlessly but two quality finishes really undone us. Really not sure where we go from there though as it’s another miserable exit and failure to beat a top 5 side. These refs are absolutely shocking - last night and in the Holland game I haven’t seen anything like it since the old days of FIFA corruption. Defined a first half penalty and the first France goal was a blatant foul on Saka in the build up. He didn’t even want to give our second penalty either!

Morocco 1-0 Portugal! Incredible stuff really and highly deserved. They've beaten some serious opposition and have only conceded one and that was an own goal too. Ronaldo has to take a lot of the blame for the exit - his conduct on and off the field as he struggles to accept is age is really souring his team club and country. Him and his wife were quite bitchy after the exceptional 6-1 win and I feel the negativity carried into this game. He also just storms off the pitch every game instead of shaking hands with the opposition win, lose or draw and it's not doing his image or future coaching credentials any favours behaving so childishly. Credit to Morocco and their manager who's only been in the role 3 months for another solid and deadly display.

It's a pretty good mode but I think Infinity Ward did a miserable job when promoting it at its exclusive event as they didn't really tell the content creators what the mode entailed or really talk about its potential going forward. They left the impression that it was just another Hazard Zone with a wannabe Tarkov approach and we've had very little from them since. It definitely needs more variety and I think they need to add manual drops points because the spawns make it too easy to intercept other players pathing and then reveal the activity POI's after everyone has landed. They should also remove the weapon extract alert on players because it just makes it too easy to camp on someone leaving or mow them down when they are en-route. The extraction point reveal should be enough and then the onus should be on players to intercept the rival rather than have the info on a plate at every opportunity. I hope IW continue to develop and support the mode but I think it will be dependent on player counts and income potential their end. It's a nice escape from MP and the hell that is WZ2.
