The "Call of Duty HQ" makes accessing Modern Warfare 3 a chore.

    You know what’s crazy? The original Modern Warfare 3 from 2009 is still $40 on steam. Black Ops 2 from 2012 is $60.

    COD pricing is insane. For comparison the Halo MCC which includes six games, two of which are remastered, is $40.

      I think CoD pricing is affected by the fact that usually, it’s mum that’s paying for it

        Are zoomers lining up around the block to play the Black Ops 1 campaign? Just seems absurd after over a decade to not drop the price to a reasonable level.

      They are smoking unfiltered crack at activision-blizzard. Just don’t play them. Or pirate. Not like they are a very wonderful company to their own employees.

        In fact, it’s actually better to pirate them and use Plutonium for Multiplayer. This is due to the fact that many pre-Infinite Warfare Call of Duty titles have unpatched RCE vulnerabilities that Activision never bothered to fix, but have been in Plutonium.

          Jesus, thank you for the heads up. That’s scary.
