    aw thanks for the article, i didnt know they are doing the event
    also to the guy complaining above, i prefer loot boxes over endless battle pass grind
    activision's other game COD takes an eternity to grind their battle passes and no cosmetics from your battle passes are carrying over to MW2 or warzone 2

    Hopefully, they will associate the content of previous loot boxes with NFTs. That way I can give a value and sense to my life. /s

    Gotta wait and see what their new battle pass and shop looks like. No loot boxes doesn't mean much if they're just redistributing the problem elsewhere.

    I rarely even open the boxes any more when I play - normally i do 30-40 at a time. If the battle pass is all cosmetics, it's only trading a system i didnt care about for another system i dont care about.

    I dont trust it. Overwatch always had a fair b2p business model. You never get something for nothing when a game moves f2p. As long as characters dont get paywalled, it shouldnt effect me.

    activisions COD has a pretty fair battle pass system, you buy in once, but get all your currency back and more after you complete tier 100.
    but still the time to grind is insane, so good luck you people wanting battle passes. got enough of them in other games already
