Controversial Cosmetic Bundles in MW2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 Spark Criticism from Players

Players feel cosmetic bundles with MW2 and WZ2 Season 3 should be lowered. One of these bundles includes a new operator skin that was surprising to members of the community. Players have criticized Activision for the presence of a large number of microtransactions in the Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 multiplayer mode. Members in the community made fun of the BlackCell bundle because of its $30 price tag. The new battle pass offering grants players exclusive cosmetic items, Battle Pass tier skips, and Call of Duty Points. Although purchasing the Battle Pass will earn you Call of Duty points, you must first put money into the system before you can reap the benefits of those points.

The arrival of “shameless” pay-to-win bundles in DMZ infuriated gamers of Warzone 2, who were already angry about the situation. Simply purchasing an operator skin allows players to load into matches with free UAVs, bonus benefits, or other advantages over opponents. Activision toned down the bundle in response to criticism, but the company did establish a new standard for microtransactions. The most recent store bundle for MW2 is another source of frustration for players since it falls short on numerous fronts.

Players of MW2 and Warzone 2 have opposing opinions on the Cyber Riot bundle

An image of the new Cyber Riot store package was uploaded by an MW2 player to Reddit, along with comments questioning the value of a $24 purchase for six goods. This package comes with an operator skin, two weapon camouflages that include tracer rounds, a weapon charm, an emblem, and a sticker. Some players believe they have been taken advantage of because the bundle only costs $24, despite the fact that it usually costs more because the weapon camo has unique bullets or kill animations.

Members of the community have given the skin the moniker “pay to lose” due to the fact that it reveals your location far too quickly. “It gives off a glow that makes you stand out from the crowd.” The fact that only six different goods are available in the package is another source of criticism. “For 2400 points, you ought to get one of everything,” said the voiceover. The Cyber Riot combo does not include large decals, a finisher, and any additional stickers or charms.

It was argued that nothing in the store is worth the price that it is being asked for. “How can you justify paying a third or even a half of the cost of the entire game when all you get in return are some cosmetic items?” The contentious cosmetic goods introduced in Season 3 are testing the patience of the community members.
