Why Are There Loot Boxes In Black Ops IIII
Even if you are not into Call of Duty you no doubt have heard of Activision’s latest cash grab. They have decided to add in loot boxes to Call of Duty Black Ops IIII. Now granted this is not something 100 percent new to the series, but it does come across as really sleazy.
These are called, Reserve Crates and they will cost you 200 COD points each. Inside each one will be three items. You can get cosmetic items as you would expect, but they are also putting weapons into these Reserve Crates. Not just ordinary weapons, but weapons like the Daemon 3XB which along with the fact it gets an XP boost makes it better than the standard weapons!
As if getting items that can give a player advantage was not bad enough. These Reserve Crates also are more than happy to give you doubles! I have watched videos of people getting doubles when they have had as little as four Reserve Crates! There are no stats for the probability of items so the whole thing is one massive crap shoot.
What makes this really bad is the fact that Call of Duty already has its hand out in many different ways. First, this is a full priced game, but then there is the Black Ops Pass the weird way you can pay to move up in the Contraband system, the paying for things like the aiming reticle and so on. Now, this?
I think Black Ops IIII is a great game and if it was a game that was free I really would not have a problem with this, but I think this is a real scummy move on their part and it is one I flat out refuse to support. I will still play and enjoy Black Ops IIII, but they are not getting any of my money for their loot boxes.
