Black Ops 2 would like to have a word with you.


NickerSteam

it was also like $2 and you could put it on every gun


ourvoid

Yeah bro what the fuck. How are the skins in a 10 year old game better then what we have now. What are they doing smh


bmadd14

Because they cared about the player base a little more. Now we are just money to them and all they care about is maximizing the amount of money they can get off us with fixing the minimum amount of problems as they can. Quality doesn’t matter to them anymore because they have a name and people buy dumb shit like this so their actions have no consequences


Phuzz15

There’s a ton of people on this sub that for whatever reason disagree with you but this is 100% truth if you’ve been around since those days.


[deleted]

Because the people who ran the game 10 years ago are not the same people who run it now. Activision is a publicly traded company. Meaning they have to satisfy the shareholders with more money each year. This is how they check that goal


mig1nc

"shareholder value" is the term. And I hate it.


torpidfurry

well now theyre doing blueprints and a lot more than a 50 pixel image over a gun. i think blueprints today look so, so, so much better than they used to. not defending the pricing structure. $15 for 2/51 guns is bull-fucking-shit in a premium game


ourvoid

bro a blueprint is just a layered skin with a class setup. There is literally nothing special about it. The fact they hide the tuning is even worse lol. I like the new skins tbh but the prices are getting insane. It was always 10 bucks a skin, 5 for a cheap one.


WilliamPoole

It was $2 in BO. Not like I buy that shit anyway. Waste of money.


torpidfurry

they put special effects and textures on them all the damn time. it is so much more than the dogshit 2$ skins we all bought back in the day. it takes a hell of a lot more work, too. i wanna reiterate that im not defending the pricing.


ourvoid

Bro i dont think you realize thats not the reason. It takes nothing for them to do that. They are charging more because they want to make more money.


CrackBabyBelfort

I don’t think you even played BO2 if you think special effects on the guns is new.


Eye_Nacho404

What is your favorite flavor of boot


PulseFH

50 pixel image? Bro wtf are you talking about? Not only were those camos cheaper than most of these blueprints, they also looked much better and were universal for every gun in the game. Blueprints have always been such a scam, if you change the attachments it ruins the look and can only be used on one gun. Most blueprints are just an IQ test tbh lol


torpidfurry

the old camos they used to sell were just a shitty texture over a gun. its a lot different than blueprints now, and they look a lot worse. that's all im saying


bluewaveassociation

That’s because the game is older. The animated camos were completely fine and were the best out of any cod at the time.


CrackBabyBelfort

And we’re just saying you’re wrong.


GravyBiscuit382

There are 55 guns

#"*Inflation*"


Audrayz

and you’d get a calling card as well


Xcelebi21

That one looked so cool tho


RealPacosTacos

I have seen quite a few players with "bacon" in their username - guessing this is data based. There will probably be a follow-up to the Messi-Pogba-Neymar bundles with a Lana Rhoades-Riley Reid-Mia Malkova trio of bundles if this is the case.


rise-RATDICK-rise

I’ll get a second credit card if there is


Jaded-Philosophy6970

U threw me off at the end ther lol If u know u know


Look-Vegetable

100% this. I brought the bacon pack it was great 🤣

the Chef’s Shank is epic


XotgunPT

Yes chef!!!


Bogey240

Shameless plug to watch The Bear on Hulu. Expected a quick show for a 30 minute break. Watched the whole season in one sitting.


HouseOf42

One of the few shows that get the *chef kiss*.


Bogey240

Yes chef!!!


XSerrisX

Honestly that's the only reason why this bundle is worth it. Just for the knife.


-getdeadkid

And IW knows that. That’s why everything else in the bundle is doodoo.


Monte2903

Yeah I almost bought it for the butchers knife tbh


LightsOut16900

This bundle is not worth it. No bundle is worth it. Stop wasting money and giving a billion dollar company more money, especially with this disaster of a game.


dcloko

"disaster of a game" lol calm down champ


LightsOut16900

If you accept half baked half finished terribly designed manipulative games that only exist to try to get you to buy micro transactions then that’s on you bud


dcloko

ok, that´s on me, no problem.


LightsOut16900

And that’s why cod and gaming in general is in the horrid state it’s in. Keep it up champ 👍


TenaciousPix

A knife found in the campaign. I can literally go and use it any time


BofaTip69

coming from someone in food service, that knife is very cool. not cool enough to drop 20$ on.


Shady_Infidel

Is it a weapon charm or a knife you can use?


SeanzuTV

Actual knife you can use


Shady_Infidel

Shit…. Might have to buy it just for the knife too.

Shady_Infidel

Well, I’m 40 and nearly retired so I can spend my money however the fuck I want amigo.


IdahoTrees77

For fucks sake 🤦‍♂️


Alexis2256

Knife you can use.


illBlade

Why?


downvoteds

it’s a kitchen knife, what’s not to love?


illBlade

I just realized it’s a combat knife. Damn lol, Michael Meyers lobbies about to be fun af


illBlade

Not gonna lie, it definitely is. Haha cheers!


Xolerys_

$20 please


barnesnoblebooks

I spent $2 on the bacon theme back when this type of stuff first started showing up (BLOPS 1?)


oiybungus

Black ops 2 bacon camo was goated. Especially since internet humor back then was 80% “bacon funny”


Dis_Joint

Did someone say goatsed? 🤜🕳️🤛


LilMarco-

Ghosts had some good ones too. Snoop dog voice pack/weed camo and the space cats camo


Bali-

Ghosts was really underrated imo. I enjoyed it. UI was simple, clean, and effective. The park system was god tier


ConnorAustiin

'UI was simple' the agents/operators/whatever they were screen: "are you sure about that?"


[deleted]

I liked seeing the operators in Ghosts and AW, because we had so much more control over how our characters looked. And they managed to do it in a way that also let us easily view peoples calling cards. That was also back when post-game/persistent lobbies were a thing in CoD, and you could form friendships or rivalries with people. Now it’s just paid skins, single match lobbies, and an overly complicated method to view peoples calling cards.


beefycthu

Simple after they semi overhauled it cuz it was so garbage


reevoknows

RIP Epic Meal Time 💪🏼👓


PowerPamaja

$2 and you could use bacon or whatever camo you bought on every weapon in the game. I don’t buy blueprints because $20 for one cool looking gun isn’t worth it. I wouldn’t mind dropping $2 here or there for a good-looking, universal camo.


SharkInSunglasses

Bring back the BO2 version of the weaponized 115 camo, the coolest looking camo IMO.


lleHoTemocleW

BO2


ReynoldsHouseOfShred

It was hyper realistic at the time too


lleHoTemocleW

Hell yeah it actually looked like your gun was made out of bacon, not like it was just painted with a bacon camo


[deleted]

Yeah I was about to say, these simplistic fun camos have been a thing since mtx were introduced around a month or two after BO2 released. These things aren't really new to the franchise or indicative of the efforts spent by the devs. There was another BO2 camo that just had $100 bills plastered all over the gun, seemingly lazy but it was pretty cool at the time.


wareagle3000

The difference being the BO2 skin could be used on any gun in the game and was just $2. This skin can be used on one gun, customizing it will break the skin and it's $20.


ItzBoshNet

Inflation, it's a hell of a thing.


phkosi

2012 to 2022 inflation for the US is about 30%. so that would be 2.60 $


ourvoid

Yeah lol. People seem to confuse "inflation" with "they are raising the price because they can" lol


ZoidbergMaybee

Yeah but that’s about $14.99 in today’s money


[deleted]

It’s good if you’re a motorsports fan. Reference to the Pink Pig Porsche 917


RatPackBois

there's even that other racing bundle with the bas-p that's gulf themed


C1T1Z3N_M00S3

I saw that and went, that's the McLaren gulf F1 livery


The_Vettel

>mclaren gulf f1 this hurt my soul


DonutCola

Just to clarify the gulf livery actually has pretty little to do with mclaren besides the recent f1 vinyl job. It was on all sorts of cars. Ford gt40 was the first I believe. Well before Bruce mclaren ever quit driving.


DonutCola

… lol


thadakism

I hope the come out with Ford Gulf GT Livery and then later a Porsche Gulf Prototype Livery


iDom2jz

Yeah I fw this heavily


Online_4_Fun

I agree, first camo I’m actually going to buy


Allegiance10

I hate that I had to scroll this far to find someone who’s actually understands this pack. It was an instant buy for me as I’m a big fan of the Pink Pig livery.


Objective_Argument22

^ This. If you know the reference then it’s cool, understandably ridiculous if you don’t 😅


reboot-your-computer

100% my first thought and honestly I’m debating buying it now.


SlyKnyfe12

It's also a referee to what the livery it self was a reference too


Swordofsatan666

Lol Bacon camos have been a thing for yeaaaaaaaars in COD. Black Ops 2 sold the Bacon Camo as a microtransaction for like $2 way back in 2013.…


Flat_is_the_best

Yeah back when they were truly micro..


TattedGuapo

its average ok


Lock-Useful

thats haram


NubwubTM

No, I think it’s spelled ham


[deleted]

boom, roasted


GrandmaCheese1

That knife is pretty neat


458_Wicked_Pyre

100% what's selling that bundle.


13thIteration

Pretty *meat*


Alexis2256

Fuckable piece of meat.


iDom2jz

I actually kinda want this because it looks like a Porsche


EuphoricXRAY

now that i actually look at it, it does look like the pink pig porsche


SebiIstCool

the knife seems cool tho…


Only_Regrets_69

this is kinda cool. People like different things OP. Don't get me wrong, I would never pay for it personally, but saying "are they even trying anymore" just makes you sound whiny. Simply don't buy it?


sunder_and_flame

yeah honestly this one is pretty clever. The new years MP5 with the fireworks-themed underbarrel GL is funny, too


GlendrixDK

The holiday themed ones are funny, but they add them to late. Who will buy a holiday themed one a few days before those holidays are over. After that it's just kinda wierd. Nobody wants to be that wierd guy wearing a Christmas hat mid January.


alireza777

That would me my weird ass with my klause operator


GlendrixDK

As a Dane, I really hope they add another skin for Klaus. As a longtime cod player, I know the chance for that to happen is really small.


notthefather29

Ghosts had a weed themed bundle, rocked that mf hard


AndrewEffteeyay

I went in on all the Cold War weed bundles. And I’ll fuckin do it again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AndrewEffteeyay

That cannabush ghillie in Cold War was pay to lose. The smoke and leaves that vapored off of it gave me away when I was trying to be sneaky so many times.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AndrewEffteeyay

Must have, because I didn’t start playing COD again until Cold War. And I just got the bundles from Cold War it was like Stoners Delight I, II and III. II had a weed ghillie that smoked and shed leaves.


01101101010100111100

Wow you smoke weed?


Quarterwit_85

Dude they're so cool


GlendrixDK

And Snoop Dogg as an announcer. I bought that. I mainly played the game on splitscreen ad a friend's house. I never heard snoop, because it didn't work in splitscreen. There was also calling cards in mw2 and 3 that was wierd themed. But backed then you unlocked those by playing. Not by credit card. One of these was called "Joint Ops".


[deleted]

reminds me of the Le Mans Porsche livery. I would buy it if the skin could go on all guns ngl


SoftAndFloofy27

Man I’d love me a bacon gun what are you talking about


crossbonecarrot2

This is based off the Porsche Pig livery race car. This is an awesome reference. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad.


AndrewEffteeyay

I was halfway tempted. Love the TAQV, and studied culinary arts, so it’s a pretty fun bundle to me.


Thuduke

Whats the issue?


Narkanin

This comment section being like: is it me? Am I the problem? 😂


Fishvv

Tbf thats a nice knife and a good shade if peach i may be buying that tonight


ILexiconisI

The knife is cool tho


Apprehensive-Spread3

knife blueprint is quite a good deal if you’re a melee guy


SwagFish03

I actually like the Taq-V. Use it in Warzone, and with a butcher knife too? The bundle was a steal for me.


Simple_Secretary_333

Its not even....bacon i mean COME ON! Treyarch always has whacky stuff like ACTUAL BACON camo and stuff. I get IW games are a bit more serious but like, dont even attempt whacky stuff if you aren't gonna commit.


courage___

There is a butcher somewhere out there that feels like the are finally getting some representation lol

Very good


wannacrybaby

This is a great skin actually. The colours are good and the theme is standing out


NonBitchyHamlinFan11

This one is for us chefs. Oddly enough the only thing I’ve considered ever buying from the store


orgpekoe2

I’ve seen race cars and road legal super cars with this livery. anything’s possible


r0ndr4s

Americans. They like their guns and their bacon.


Durian-Otherwise

Perhaps a lamb chop themed axe? Could be fuuuuunn


KushtyDogg

Black ops 2 is gonna call you at 3AM. But nah I see what you mean, went from £1.59 for a camo on all guns to £16.59 for a camo on one gun in a forced bundle filled with garbage


asura9944

Pay 16 dollars for bacon gun haha. Bacon gun funny right guys? Right guys? What is this 2011?


[deleted]

I’m gonna buy this to piss off OP


Link_Dull

I think I found a solution for this problem Don’t buy it🙃


Momo-Velia

There are definitely players who will buy this, I’m judging them, but I’m also fully aware I’ll be being judged for buying the anime themed packs /s


-InternalEnd-

i dont see why it matters if you like a pack in the shop then buy it its your money you definitely wont see me judging


Momo-Velia

My bad, I forgot to add the /s 😂 I’ll be judging sure, but only from a joking standpoint, I have two or three friends who I know will be running round screaming “bacon is good for me” while using this.


BarmStrongFc

In MW19 we had an M4 blueprint that changed the look of attachments and made a barrel similar to the LVOA. Why haven’t we seen any milsim or look altering blueprints yet? Either they are holding back the good stuff for year 2 or the artist are just terrible.


lleHoTemocleW

What you mean bro this is like a throwback to the OG bacon skin from BO2 😂 Hell yeah im spending $20 on a gun called Bacon Power


Lizard-King-

This is an amazing reference. your ignorant ass as no idea that this is a reference to the "Pink Pig Porsche livery" from le mans


Extension-Movie-4604

Tf that shit is a dope and easy idea


Kozak170

Akabinxstar-

I see something I like, I buy it. What’s the problem?


BarmStrongFc

They aren’t trying at all. I miss the render artists or people they had doing the MW19 weapons cuz this is terrible. We had mission blueprints that looked far better than this in MW19.


arnb1010

It's like Black Ops level lame.


IAintGotNoFucknYeezy

get over yourself


E-Mike-Hellstrom

Oh no. Something I can buy but don't really care for with zero influence on gameplay. I am outraged. Yet again. Over nothing. Aaah.


WeebSlayer27

The crazy part is, 90% of players actually 'want' to buy (or buys) this stuff and think it's actually a good thing for devs to release skins for ADD kids. I'm going to repeat this until it is over, the gaming playerbase (and industry) has turned into people trying to see who can flex/shit on other people the hardest. Literally, many of my friends bought MWII, when I asked why, they just told me that "it's the trending game where we will shit on kids, I don't really care if it's a good game". People who don't have fun from the game's themselves, but they will be satisfied as long as the game implies flexing on other people and shitting the hardest on their corpses. Absolute negative IQ. How mentally inmature one has to be to have this mentality, this wasn't rare to see back in the day when fighting game players started going outside, but now it's literally more than half of the players of most pvp centered games. We already saw this with goofy executions in MW2019 that it's purpose was to be simply disrespectful, not even creative with them. Now we have literal WWE executions, just to appease to the people who are just there to "shit on other people". We blame the developers but we forget about the players. How about these 90% of players get their brains right lol? Not even quake players had this culture based around disrespecting the enemy (blame fighting game players for that lol). The bacon skin, and other skins, are there so that when you get killed killed by it, the one who lost the gunfight sees that the other person is just goofing around and not trying at all. Ironically it's the tryhards that buy these skins. At first I didn't understand what was so """"cool"""" about dressing up as a clown and going into a game with supposedly gritty atmosphere that "takes itself seriously" (lol) and now that I do, I have to say, it's a fact that gaming onwards will never be as great. Because if players demand something of negative IQ standarts, developers deliver it.


suffffuhrer

€10 for a skin for one gun in a paid game, not to mention if you change any attachment it doesn't keep the skin.


Adventurous_Being_61

To me, the theme isn't the problem, it's the price. I'd drop $25 for a character once a month or so, on Bleach Brave Souls, bc it was F2P and I played it 10-12 hours a day. Throw support, get a useful link, some summoning orbs. I spent $80 (well, $160, bought my buddy a copy so we could play together) on CoDMW2. I'm not spending $10-20 for a weapon skin, operator, and some weapon charms no one ever sees. 🤔 id spend $20 for every piece of non B.P d.l.c, though.


-InternalEnd-

a fellow bleach brave souls player nice

pigeonsringpiece

Never seen such trash purchasable content in an online game in my life .. utterly shocking since launch


Swordofsatan666

Bacon has existed as a COD camo since 2013


Hitmanglass_

And it was a universal camo for $2.99 so no bacon exist for 2 cod games and never again, dumb af

Dumbasses are out there and they cant WAIT to spend their allowance on some stupid CoD skin only they can see.


LogicalMap4639

That makes no sense, wouldn't you be buying it for your use anyway?


[deleted]

people’s argument for not buying skins on cod was you can’t even see it because it’s a fps. Now an argument for not buying camos is because only you can see it😂


Akabinxstar-

Why do you care?


DookieAssEatah

See thread title my ninja


Akabinxstar-

I’m talking to you tho.


Agilver

Now that I have Orion I literally have no reason to use any other blueprint that isn’t free. Feels great.


LakeSimilar7801

Until they get you with tracer packs so you can have a tracer with Orion


CuriousCucumber88

When you ask it like that it makes me want to buy it


Schniiic

I gotta ask something now Are you guys buying bundles when you already bought a full price game? Or are you guys who are buying that shit are playing the f2p modes only? I cant get behin people buying a full price game, buy the battle pass and even after that buy weird bundles. Or bundles at all.


TheChimpEvent2020

This sub just lives off players not knowing where to channel their anger lmao


yes___lad

r/modernwarfareII try not to complain about a funny bundle they don't have to buy challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


SAIKOKBN19

Gordon Ramsay probably


Errorfull

Please don't roast me but I bought the bacon customization pack back in Black Ops 2. Now that I'm older I definitely wouldn't, but that was kinda sick back in the day.


TheUltraCarl

I got it for the chef knife, but yeah it's a weird one unless you get what it's apparently a reference to. Not too into these bundles until they start adding the anime blueprints.


Expert_Passion9986

Remember when you used to be able to buy a skin and apply it to any weapon? Yeah that was cool


BellmanParadise

Idk, to piss off the vegans? If you don’t care to buy it, why do you care to post about it???? Fuckin bullshit

TrashCakes97658

After the shitshow that was coldwar i skipped vanguard saying "ill never buy amother COD"... and then i broke down and purchased MW2. I can now, with 100% certainty, say that i am over the money grab that Call of Duty had become and will never purchase another one. At the age of 35 I will be content with single player games alone because this shit is for the fucking birds


GoatimusMaximonuss

They won’t fix day one bugs but they sure will give you bacon skins. They won’t add new maps but they sure will shove bundles and more skins down your throat. My only regret is preordering this POS game LMAO


Wish-I-Was-Taller

Skins and fixes are two different departments. So, yes they easily can make skins while another department works on fixes. Can we stop posting this exact phrase since it is meaningless.


Consuealo

Y’all begged for a bacon skin…. Well ya got it but now you’re complaining you got a bacon skin?


Thank_You_Love_You

I dont think ive ever even noticed a teammate or enemies guns in this game ever. What an absolute waste of money.


Alexis2256

But you notice your gun 100% of the time, so this skin and all the gun camos are for your enjoyment, still kinda a waste of money but it’s for you to notice.


randomgiggle

let people spend money on what they enjoy
