Hello pals,
Ill just put it out there up front. I don't play a lot of videogames, but my partner and I wanted a nostalgic hit, so we bought the new Call of Duty game. It's really fun! The multiplayer is really exciting (Even if I hate that one death and wait for respawn mode on the trench map), and we've been enjoying it the last couple of days.
However...there's one thing I just don't understand. It's the "Battle Pass". I don't think I've ever played a "Live service" game before, but I understand they're all over these types of games. But it seems like at every avenue, there's a meter filling up, or we're unlocking baubles for our guns, or we're completing quests.
Now, the paid BP offers quicker unlocks and stuff, but honestly, I've not a clue what this BP is, how quests work, I feel like a dad playing a game with his kids for the first time.
I'm no stranger to videogames historically, but all this is new to me. Please can someone explain all this, what looks very predatory, concept? Please dumb it down as much as you can, because I'm utterly clueless.
Thanks!
