Call of Duty: WWII’s Microtransactions Delayed until Nov. 22

Call

Considering the surprise Call of Duty WW II’s brought to everyone around it (Including Activision). They didn’t really have as much insight as to how many issues would present themselves online. As such, the game’s microtransactions won’t roll out until November 21st now, as the developers continue to work on fixing these issues, Activision support announced this on Twitter a few days ago.

Once the new microtransaction model is implemented into Call of Duty: WWII’s code, players will be able to purchase Call of Duty Points for real cash, which can then be used to buy still-unannounced content for the game or unlock things.

The players who bought the digital version of the game will experience the larger end of the stick. Since the digital edition of the game grants around 1,100 Call of Duty Points once the support is turned on.

So, what are the issues plaguing the game right now? Call of Duty WW II’s online components have had issues which include leaving its Headquarters social space empty and long matchmaking times.

Sledgehammer Games announced it was working around the clock to fix the issues and delaying other updates until things are working properly. As such, the Call of Duty points system’s live date has been shifted to November 21 to accommodate to these updates.

I mean, considering the current criticism Jim Sterling has given to the bugs in Star Wars: Battlefront II. It almost feels like Sledgehammer and Activision dodged a pretty close bullet. The former game has been suffering a monumental backlash and almost nobody finds enjoyment out of it.

Whether or not Call of Duty: WWII is clear of issues in regards to the microtransactions and Loot boxes. That’s left for discussion and debate in other articles, but at the very least, Activision and Sledgehammer did a wise choice here.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.
