COD5 to Sell Accelerated Experience Points to Gamers

vitz3 - 465 days 7 hours ago

Oh God my head hurts from this stupidity. Activision... Gamers have a voice, and we're starting to use it.

Sigh...

Gamers will NEVER tolerate being nickel-and-dimed at every turn, screw this game.

true. I hate how company are ask for money if you want to level up without actually leveling up. Like TOV for the Xbox 360, you can pay to level up if you want too.

thats not true, my friends 6 year old kid plays cod 4 a lot and he is 3rd time prestige now and is terrible.

halo ranks are linked to skill (because it goes back down if you play bad)

cod ranks increas with time (but a lot quicker if you are good)

Well...according to the call this is actually to keep their return rate of 30% or so inline for the next year. But yeah, I can see how it could be seen this way as well. Nickel and diming people never leads to happiness or big profits.

Do not blame the "economy" for short sighted unethical business practices. When some poor momma eats her children because welfare wasn't enough are you going to blame the economy then too? These are video games- what next? Pay an extra 5.00 so that all the checkpoints are unlocked in a game and then you can jump to the end? If people are stupid enough to pay---guess what? They will continue to come up with new and "clever" ways to get you, the person with too much money and not enough wits or ethics, to give them that money that you really shouldn't have in the first place, or you wouldn't have been dumb enough to spend it.

Newsflash- ever since this country went to centralized banking through the FED, we've had a "bad economy" and a "good economy", sorry to say but if you are on the top its gangbusters, if you are down below in lower class, then inflation takes your money. It's the hidden tax of a false economy that prints money to loan money to make money.

hahah funny. I would rather they charge me few bucks to get 1000 achievements and not even have to buy or play the damn game. Stupid idiots, i would rather download this than pay for additional benefits for this game even if we have paid $60 for it.

it has nothing to do with leveling. Its very, very, very easy to level in COD. Its about earning the points you get. No point to experience points if they arent about experience. Its cheap and truly unneeded. Activision is becoming a joke.

you are correct sir! I will go on the record, because I don't have much to lose, and say if this is real then i will NOT buy this game- just in the hopes that other gamers will hear and see what a travesty this is- They should get spankings, be lectured, given a time-out---whatever you do with bad greedy fools.

Neither will I.

Hell they need to step up their support for the PS3 versions.

Nothing but host lag and host ending games.

Nickel and dime more activision the new EA. I'm not buying your games with that attitude.

Actually, the Activision people call this COD5 in the analyst call, so I think the connection has been made.

Even if They did buy the exp Points It wouldn't matter, Since If the noobs had no skill Then they'd get owned by the people who actually Played the game to get skills.

Again, go and listen to the analyst call. He clearly says "the ability to accelerate your experience points when you play online, so achievements are worth more than they normally would be."

That's at 3:16:20 in the analyst call. He said it, not me.

Just a double XP week (+FG42) for buying the collector edition of World at War. It's not a system that will give you XP each time you pay like many of you think.
