Black Ops 6 Season 4 Introduces Highly Controversial Change to Player Loadouts

Oh man, where do I even start with this? So, Call of Duty is back at it, stirring the pot again. And this time, it’s with Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Honestly, it’s like they never miss a chance to be out of line. This new update? Players are discovering ads in the middle of creating their classes. Yeah, ads. In the dang game where you’re trying to pick your weapon. You go in to craft that perfect loadout and — bam — hit with “Hey, buy this bundle!” It’s like someone interrupting your daydream with a loud, obnoxious commercial. Who thought this was a good idea?

So, cosmetics and all that jazz have always been kinda contentious. Like, remember Advanced Warfare? Those bizarre skins were something else. Anyway – wait, where was I going with this? Oh, right. It’s nuts how far they’ve taken it now. Green dragons, fiery skins in a game supposedly set in the late ’90s? What even is the theme here? Half expect them to throw in a unicorn next. Seriously, who’s making these decisions?

And it’s not like this surprise was announced ahead of time. Nope. Activision sneaked it in, and now players are scrolling past ads like they’re on some social media feed. Imagine dropping seventy bucks on a game only to navigate through commercials. It’s like, come on, Activision, at least buy me dinner first.

Naturally, everyone online is blowing up. Some dude on Twitter got sarcastic about how he, “loves ads in a $70 game,” which honestly hits the nail on the head. It’s outrageous but also expected. Back in 2022, Activision raked in billions from microtransactions, so you can see why they’re pushing this. Money talks, right?

But there’s more! Folks are getting peeved about the Battle Pass too. Apparently, it’s become an endless grind unless you wanna shell out more cash for Tier Skips. The community’s buzzing with talk that they’re slowing progression on purpose. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. Hard to say, but the suspicion is there.

Anyway, the whole thing feels like a bad commercial masquerading as a video game. Who knows where it’ll go next? Maybe they’ll start charging per reload. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But still… shakes you a bit, doesn’t it?
