A DLC gun what a great business move!!

Posted by Big_Sprowls on Jan 25, 2013 2:22 PM

So this peacemaker is an smg-assault rifle hybrid and to get it you have to buy the DLC. The most popular gun in MW3 was the MP7 also an smg-assaultrifle hybrid. Sounds like a great way to make money. If the gun turns out to be way op would you buy it? What gun would you like to see added? Discuss

    Yeah what a great way to screw up the already terrible balance in this game.
    Now people who can't afford DLC are jipped out of a weapon?
    Not having certain maps is one thing because you don't really notice that you're missing something. But to be killed by a gun you'll never get unless you pay for it? That's some garbage that belongs in the MMO world, not here.

      I have to agree that letting people buy an edge is lame but would love to have more people who are noobs playing the DLC. I imagine this will strike a nerve with both players and Treyarch accountants either way.

       

      I would love more LMG's or anything that would unseat SMG's as the dominant weapon type. To be reunited with my beloved the pig (M60) .

      This game has terrible balance?

       

      Its probably the most balanced COD ever.

      Lol i can tell the on first person shooter youve ever played is COD. This happens in every fps other than COD. It was about time they introduced guns in dlc, if u dnt wanna pay 15 bucks for, thats on you

    I agree with Saxon. Also with adding a DLC gun they're going to end up buffing/nerfing just that gun and ignore all the other guns that came with the game. Also buffing and nerfing it is going to be a problem as it's going to be competing against people who don't have access to it so it's gonna feel OP to a lot of players anyway.

     

    IW buffed 4 guns half way through MW3's life cycle, i think it was the UMP, FAD, M16 & the PM-9, which made players want to go and try them out again. If they had a DLC gun I doubt they would have went back and noticed that nobody was using those 4 guns and buffed them a bit to make it competitive. So in the end it was like getting 4 DLC guns.

    I'm not going to buy the DLC until I see what happens after the next patch. 

     

    But, I don't think people who don't have the DLC will be getting killed by the new gun.  If you do not have the DLC, you'll be put into a different playlist.  You should never even see it.

     

    They did the exact same thing with MAG, and it totally screwed up the balance of the guns.  I'm not sure what will happen with COD.

      It has already been officially confirmed via Twitter that it WILL be in the regular rotation, and that players who don't own the DLC will be able to pick it up off dead bodies.

        This makes perfect business sense. If the weapon is decent some players will pick it up, maybe really like it, and then decide to pull the trigger on the DLC content to get it. Then after that is played out they'll nerf the crap out of it to get everyone else to quit bitching about it. Thusly leaving the original DLC buyers in the lurch. That's just how these guys do business apparently.

        I had nop idea about that tweet.  Thank you for correcting me.

         

        Well, then I agree it's pretty weird they would do that.  All about the $

          The peacemaker doesnt come with the maps. If you read the flyer, it says the peacekeeper is a Bonus for ordering the dlc, meaning that it'll probably have its own code or w.e. and vaahn already said it will be available to use on all playlist. A gun that is only available in 4 maps is a waste of time and stupid

            I sit corrected, then.

             

            (It made sense the other way because it would still have been available on all the maps, but only if you'd purchased the extra four.)

    Amazing... for years people have been crying that there are no new guns in DLC.

     

    For the 1st time ever, they listened to the community, and guess what: People are crying about it.

     

    Pathetic.
