  1. Every company in the USA has a Fiduciary responsibility to the share holders. So yeah it always comes down to profits.
  2. I don't know, remember when you use to be able to prestige in COD? Kind of the same thing. However I do agree that some of those missions can be a pain in the ass
  3. I happen to agree with the approach. MS and Activision are are companies incorporated in the USA and follow USA law. I wouldn't have a jurisdiction outside of where I am incorporated dictate what I can or cannot do as long as it does not brake any laws. So if the UK, Europe, China, Russia, Canada, Australia does not like what I am doing I can go sell my stuff somewhere else. Like I said before the UK revenue for MS is about what Activision contribute in profits alone. So financially having Activision and dropping the UK is a much better deal for MS.
  4. I guess will see this week what happens. It's being reported that the just Activision just might withdraw from the UK market and press ahead with the deal (as I said). The EU and others have approved the deal. MS is meeting with the UK chancellor. They already said we can withdraw from the UK or we can just go ahead and we will see you in court. Either one would seem to tell the CMA to "suck it".
  5. Just give me some more DMZ stuff and I'll be happy. I just play MP when new guns come out in order to unlock then I go back in the DMZ. It's an outstanding mode. Unfortunately it does not seem to resonate with this group. The new mid-season is tons of fun. It's really a mini raid. Building 21 and the other 2 maps are great. A lot of people have complained about P2W. The only thing I would say is a true advantage is the 15 minutes weapon cool down with two of the best weapons for the mode.
  6. According to their revenue report the UK is 4.86B GBP which is about $6B USD. The profits are 168m GBP Microsoft is a $198B dollar so the UK is about 3% of the revenue Activision Gross profits were about $5.3B last year which is more than $5B that of the UK profits So I agree that the UK could tell them they cannot operate in the UK if they don't play ball. However it seems to me that MS should just tell the UK to suck it and they will go ahead without them. The Activision profits are almost the UK revenue so it would not be a lost of revenue for them. Then they can tell the UK to go find a substitute for MS Office, Outlook, teams, cloud ..... and wish them well in their future endevor Maybe have a tea party in the Boston harbor for good measures
  7. I don't quite understand. The UK population is like 67 Million. How can the UK prevent a merger with two USA based companies? I don't see why Microsoft simply doesn't tell the UK to suck it and don't buy our stuff if you don't like it. Then tell them to go run Linux and google docs and see how long that lasts
  8. I believe so. We capture case at 10 times since the season began (always on the train). Never go any reward for doing so. There are 7 rewards in total. The last one being the Kronig skin
  9. Which is why all this pay to win stuff does not bother me. It's pretty easy to get all all pimped out operator for free. People are putting their stuff in the scavenger backpack. And the scavenger backpack in the secure backpack (or large backpack if you want to extract an extra gun). The med backpack with 15 minute LMG cooldown seems of very little value
  10. Agreed. It was the same for me
  11. The event going allows you to get the M13B for those of you that didn't in DMZ or buy the bundle I believe it's 150 Tokens which isn't too hard
  12. I don't personally care about the boosts. I like the idea of the self-res for solo players also At this point I know the places to go to in order to get a mid or large backpack or a 3 plate. The barter system makes it easy to get stuff which is better than that any ways. It seems that you can only get one of the boosts per operator so it isn't that OP. Me and my friends with sniper rifles should be able to take care of it. I can get better stuff in 5 minutes of play time so I really don't care. This gives entry level or marginal players an entry point which I am ok with. It also give me the opportunity to kill operators which have a higher probability of having self-res, med packs, and 2-3 plate vests early in game. Since season 3 all of my operators have been rocking 3 plates with large or scavenger BP with a Self res and some kill streak or another. I wasn't able to do that in season 2 as easily. I already killed the scavenger, Chemist and got the weapon's cases a number of time. This really isn't pay to win since not one has stood in my way and I didn't buy it
  13. Don't like the two new maps? Why not? I find the night one annoying because I go in with iron sights and I still have to canter with the laser rather than aim. I like the Rohan part of it because I am familiar with the map due to DMZ the light house one is meh. But the only mode that ever comes up for me is hardpoint which I don't particularly like. Might feel differently if it was DOM or TDM
  14. It was mostly the same with me I believe what they change is the progression. It use to be that complete a match would be the major part to progress. So if you played something in MP that was quick (KC, TDM) you would earn tokens quickly. They they seem to have tied it to XP and what you achieve in Game. So DMZ, WZ, Grind, DOM became better ROI to get your tokens. I had 100% completion about 25 days in. I don't play on weekends at all. I did all on DMZ, DOM and shipment. So I didn't really notice it being slower either. People's point was that if you already had the CP you couldn't buy the pass. So in this example if you had 2400 CP already you still would have had to pay 16.79 except now you would have 4800 CP. So the net cost is zero only if you intend on buying other stuff with the CP. I have not problem with it not being a net zero cost if they feel they are giving you that extra value. People can play the game without it. You and I will just go earn our skins in DMZ for free instead
  15. That's not unique to this however. There are some bundles that are cash only and give you some CP if you purchase them. The desert rogue bundle for example is like that. $19.99 Some of the "starter packs" are the same
  16. Season 1 got extended about a month because they decided to do a number of fixes to appease the community. It ended Feb 15.
  17. What's the problem? The regular BP is still 1100 COD points and will get you the majority of the items. It still give you 1400 CP if you do the whole thing (from what I believe I read) The black cell more expensive. I don't know what it will cost in Canada. But it gives you 1100 + 1400 CP (which is less than the price for sure) and a bunch of skins and crap that you don't need if you don't want it. So what's the shitty move exactly? If you don't want the stuff. don't pay for it. There is nothing in there that you need in order to be able to play. I won't be getting it. If people feel strongly about it, don't by the passes and they will quickly change course to get our money
  18. Looking forward to the DMZ updates and plunder which I also like The sniper riffle will be a nice addition. the light house is a partial remake of the estate map from what I read. I always liked that map so that's fine with me. It will be a good map for thermal optics The $40 battle pass I am not going to do. I see no value in that. The 2500 COD points are not going to make up for it and I hardly ever use skins or camos anyways. Will see how it plays.
  19. X13 is king
  20. Been a while. Did they just start the pay for Multiplayer in PS4 only? I wouldn't have gotten PS+ for anything else than that and I seem to recall having it for PS3. Was there any other reason to get it? I was entirely PSN before moving to California.
  21. Agreed. You needed PSN+ for multiplayer games. That was the only reason I would get it. Same with PS4. I believe with PSN the "free to play" games no longer require PSN+. So warzone, overwatch, destiny should be free. Call of duty (MP) however still requires the PSN+ On XBOX you need to pay. However my experience is that its totally worth it. If I play cod from house on XBOX, the network is flawless. If I play on my PS4, same game same maps it sketchy as hell which is why I'm on XBOX all the time now.
  22. I just completed this quiz. My Score 33/100 My Time 219 seconds  
  23. Dragon breath or whatever it's call is the fire ammo for the shot gun. I think you get it by maxing the expedite 12 if I remember correctly. It's crazy good. It was nerfed lately, use to be that on shipment about 80% of people were running it. The rifle is probably going to get nerfed too. I used it in DMZ a lot and the AI are complaining that I am OP and what the dev's the nerf the gun 🙂 I run it with the 50 round drum
  24. I mostly dismissed it because I really don't give a flipping shit what others think about games I play. Either I enjoy them and play or I don't. Whatever any of those jackasses bitch about has no bearing on my decisions in the end. I like to watch Stonemountain and Westie because I actually get to see game play that's pretty decent. Not like what was in one of those videos with bot opponents that are standing around to be shot in the face. I thought it was pretty hilarious to watch someone call a competing dev team creating domination on rust innovation when that's been done to death.
