I see it more as a gimmick, as it only seems to matter in Warzone. In arena playlists, the weapons won't effect gameplay. Plus you can earn "money" to buy it in the game naturally.

It won't effect me, but it just seems like mobile gaming shit that doesn't belong in a AAA title.

Weapons skins/ weapon attachments.



The weapon attachments effect Warzone only though. It's purely cosmetic in arena gameplay.

They have to make up the cost for free DLC somewhere.

I'll gladly condone this over useless map packs.

True. Nothing worse than buying a map and only being able to play it 3 times in the game's lifespan.

-Makes up for the map packs being made to not split the community into pieces.
-I don't really care as much about near-perfectly symmetrical gameplay, as long as it's isolated in a more casual game mode and it isn't pay2win.
-This isn't much different than battlepacks in Battlefield, which didn't make a noticeable change.

I have my reasons to stay skeptical.  Who knows: maybe 12 kids who brought their tank cards with them will be a serious issue.

Holy shit that looks just like cheesy fan material.

The same way I feel about Battlepacks. If I can get to level 121 on BF4 without spending a penny on microstransactions, I doubt I'll care here. And the things on battlefield actually unlock gameplay-affecting things.

Personally, I have no problem with cosmetics, as the artists don't have anything else to do anyway near the end of a game's development.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.
Not too fond of Halo, But this doesn't seem that bad...
