Black Ops Cold War players outraged over PlayStation-exclusive bonuses Treyarch\/PlaystationBlack Ops Cold War will be offering players on PlayStation exclusive content and bonuses, but some of the game\u2019s fans are apparently unhappy with the developers playing favorites. [jwplayer 38QHhqzR] On November 6, Call of Duty announced the full list of PlayStation-exclusive perks coming with Black Ops. These include two extra create-a-class slots, a special Zombies game mode, two different weapon experience bonuses, and even more. Once every month, BOCW players on the platform will get a 24hr-long double XP boost. In addition, if your party consists of other PS users, everyone will receive a 25-percent weapon XP increase while you\u2019re grouped together. As long as you\u2019re on Sony\u2019s platform these seem like a pretty sweet deal, but other players aren\u2019t thrilled with what they\u2019re calling a system where you have to play on Playstation to get the most for your money. In a highly upvoted post on the Cold War subreddit, user \u2018BenjaminWareing\u2019 called the exclusives \u201cblatantly anti-consumer\u201d for players on PC or Xbox. \u201cLast year, an exclusive game mode was lame enough, but it was not game-changing,\u201d they wrote. \u201cNow granting two extra create-a-class slots ONLY for PlayStation players, AND extra tier skips, AND extra weapon XP, AND EXCLUSIVE Double XP events \u2013 ALL ONLY FOR PLAYSTATION is crossing the line.\u201d Back in 2019, Activision was praised for getting rid of loot boxes in Modern Warfare, replacing them with a battle pass system (that can even be unlocked for free with enough earned COD Points). Now, though, this new console-specific exclusivity is getting a fair share of heat for giving PlayStation users a distinct advantage, since they\u2019re able to level up and unlock things like weapon attachments much quicker. \u201cThis has gone beyond console exclusivity,\u201d another Reddit user replied in the comments. \u201cThis is Console advantage.\u201d It\u2019s far from the first time CoD has played favorites of one platform over the other. In recent years Sony has been the one with an exclusivity deal, but from 2010-2015 it was Microsoft and Xbox users who were the ones getting new content first. The bonuses in previous titles never included these type of XP boosts or as many extra weapon slots like Cold War players will see though, and, with crossplay now a thing, it\u2019s understandable why people who aren\u2019t playing on PlayStation see it as massively unfair for those who are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
