I'm sorry but this looks like trash. Just another warzone so they can make billions.

The standard recipe will apply. Free to play, sell skins and make guns locked behind an unlock wall.

Bring out "mistake" weapon meta's several times a season to get people to buy packs and unlocks instantly.

Most importantly, no anti cheat and just do ban waves every now and again to keep people hanging on but with no real want to ban to many hackers as those hackers make money.

Stopped at free to play.

Apex Legends is great, albeit the skins and stuff are stupidly expensive, but you dont need them. Its got potential if you get it right (though its not easy to do).

what’s wrong with free 2 play?

I find they attract a certain demographic of gamer whom I choose not to spend any time with.
Not saying the actual games are bad.

As a COD fan, I'd give it a whirl - what I like about it, is that it's just more competition for COD's "traditional" 6v6 audience. It's repeated so much, but everyone's so tired of being force fed a tired half baked COD every year that only gets fixed towards the end of its lifecycle and ultimately ravages the previous COD's playerbase.

With Battlefield, Halo, Valorant, Xdefiant, Warzone, Apex, Overwatch 2, Rainbow 6 extraction, cfrossfire X all coming out soon(ish), (and I know they're not all arena 6v6), I really hope that it changes COD's future.

Cool, another game where you can pay money to paint your gun fluorescent blue. Just like Tom Clancy would've wanted.

Cleaner faction from Division looks cool. Don't like the look of the energy shields though.

Asset flip your own assets, looks like this is Ubi's new model, first rainbow six extraction now this.

Tom Clancy must be spinning in his grave.
