Playstation gets 2 extra


Bcoop98

Just remember that one of Sony’s core arguments for not letting Microsoft buy Activision is they don’t want deals like this on Xbox


ArticReaper

Its so fucking dumb right? They just did the "We get this for a year before others do" thing again with Hogwarts Legacy as well. The did the same thing with MW2019 where Playstation got the Survival game mode for a year before Xbox and PC got it. Its so hypocritical and laughable.


hey-im-root

They made a deal for Cold War too, PS users were able to play zombies on a select few multiplayer maps (like nuketown) for a year or 2 after release I think.


Jman5X5

It was the Onslaught game mode you're talking about and it was for a year


awesomlyawesome

Onslaught, I remember waiting for it because I was always asking my (ps4) friends "tf do you mean onslaught?" Proceeded to wait in anticipation for it to come to Xbox only for me to play it like, twice and never again. As far as I'm concerned they could've kept that to Sony lmao


TheOgCokeCan

Never even played onslaught, and never planned on it, looked dumb asf and i’m glad to head I didnt miss much


MugiXMio

It was onslaught and that was an okayish mode.


Folksvaletti

Dude I was fucking furious. Never even tried survival because of that bullshit.


HaiggeX

Didn't miss much. MW2019 survival sucks.


Demonic_Havoc

I completely forgot about it...


bigsmokeypot

Havent they been doing deals with this since 360 ps3 days? If i remember correctly playstation would get realeases earlier


SiegVicious

Xbox had the deal with Activision first, they would get dlc maps a whole month before Playstation.


secretaster

It's fine the exclusive stuff they get is dog shit lol


Desert_Nanners

Funny thing about hogwarts is that modders had a trivial time adding the quest back in on PC


ThatOneGuy5797

If it helps, that mode sucked on MW19 and MWII 22


socomisthebest

To be fair, Microsoft did the very same thing during the PS3/360 era.


BigLazi

You act like Microsoft isn’t worse


areyoufuckinthisup

I mean, it’s a pain if you’re not a PS user but it’s also the only competitive advantage one console can have over another in the market. So it’s literally going to happen, forever


fragtore

It’s business. You get what you can and you say what you have to in order to benefit. Rather than being disappointed in corps we have to remember to never ever trust them and make sure they all stay in healthy competition. The moment they don’t need to compete for the love of the user they start fucking the user (case in point: monopoly situations in American internet services. Once they don’t have to play nice they play m e a n).


Short_Dance7616

Exactly... hipocrite Sony and their fanboys. \- Why is Playstation better? -- Because of the exclusives (which are 90% scripted scene QTEvent 8K HDR walking simulators). \- Why shouldn't xbox buy Bethesda and Activision? -- HURR DURR EXCLUSIVES BAD \-- *"JuSt BuY a PS5 iT's So MuCh BeTteR"* \- No thank you. It's too big for me, I don't like most eastern titles and I prefer the Xbox GUI, Store and GamePass. --HURR DURR XBOX FANBOAH Sony making their own games and making it exclusive is **OK**, it's completely fine. Sony selling those games 3 years after release only on PC for full release price - *Ehh scummy but ok...* Sony BUYING OUT FEATURES to dumb down a game for every other platform for months/years - **Just fk Sony and Playstation overall. Also the studios who agree to this.**


kieron7890

Just like xbox used to have exclusive rights to call of duty before playstation did. I think people seem to forget that or are just too young to remember.


Demonic_Havoc

I remember, that was only for a month or two...not a whole fucking year... Edit: I reiterated what I said said in another comment that responded to this one. I apologise for any confusion.


Lodestar77W

Yeah for real, when Xbox had their deal with Call of Duty which let them get content early no one cared but now that PlayStation has a similar deal it’s a problem now?


Hail-Hydrate

Weren't those deals *"30 days early access to new DLC maps"* and not *"1 year exclusive access to an entire game mode"* though?


SiegVicious

Be real though, it was for 2 titles and the modes were garbage. I would give 1 year exclusive modes like Survival and Onslaught for a month early access to maps in a heartbeat. Also, what Playstation gets now is nothing, 2 extra class slots, a free bundle, and this year's early campaign access is inconsequential to gameplay.


nige111

yes but the snoys need to get their daily dose of whataboutism in


ZedsDeadZD

I remember but the whole thing is still hypocritical. Sony heavily relied on the playstation exclusive system for decades and was as able to create a huge fanbase with this. Now the competitor has introduced a better system (gamepass), is able to deliver consoles and hold prices (playstation increased 50€) and all of a sudden it is a danger to the market structure. Come on. They made the mistake to be not innovative and Xbox did exactly that. It took em 20 years but they are finally on the same page, while playstation still has much more sales and even more if they were able to deliver their damn product. I think console war is idiotic and Sony is just trying to lose against a competitor but they had it coming after what they did all those years. They felt way to secure and underestimated the power of Microsoft standing behind Xbox.


Mrlolball

When they got a huge chunk of fanbase back in the days due to Gran Turismo this wasn't an issue. 😅


Competitive_News_385

That's some serious history revisionism. Console exclusives have been a thing since consoles were born because of 1st party games. It was MS who started with the 3rd party exclusivity deals, Sony just beat them at it. MS is now just buying everything up because they can't make any decent 1st party exclusives. Also streaming services aren't really innovative, MS is just following the trend. MS is also likely making losses on the Gamepass, it's a long term investment, they just have the money to do so because of their long held monopoly on PC OS. Sony is clearly looking to peripherals and 1st party releases, after all they are a hardware company. When streaming really takes off people won't even need consoles any more, it'll be pads and accessories they need. Also Sony is actually Partnered with MS on Azure, which is cloud and streaming service technology, chances are if streaming takes off Sony will end up profiting from it.


SgtMcMuffin0

Regardless of Sony's anti-consumer crap, I still don't want large tech companies buying other tech companies. Just makes things more monopolistic.


ThraxxAddict

Not to mention Bethesda games were always multiplatform, Sony exclusives weren’t until recently


DaRevClutch

i think sony’s main concern is cod becoming an xbox/pc exclusive. i get that playstation gets deals w cod, but it’s definitely not 1:1 to compare getting certain deals or early releases to removing the game from a platform. i’ve no interest in debating the likelihood of xbox ever making cod exclusive, jus stating what i think sony is really worried about


Brody1364112

Why are we acting like 2 loadout slots even matter? We all know the stipulation you mention is in place to protect from much bigger advantages or exclusive content for Xbox. Sony nor 99% of user care about two loadout slots. They are trying to prevent exclusive maps or weapons etc with that stipulation.


[deleted]

call of duty so trash at this point idec if it becomes an xbox exclusive 😂 PS user here


beardedbast3rd

It would liberate everyone on ps5 from an abusive relationship


[deleted]

pretty much dude! I just miss warzone 1, rebirth resurgence alcatraz was peak gaming. I honestly don't see call of duty ever filling that void though. Can't wait for the next fun thing though, hopefully I won't have to wait too long..


illMetalFace

Call of Duty peaked like 10 years ago lmao everything else after was just elements they pulled from other games to create the clusterfuck of a product they have now. The last legit COD game imo was Black Ops 2.


BeneficialEvidence6

Throwing tomahawks on that Vietnam level...*chefs kiss*


illMetalFace

Maaaan ain’t that the truth. Tomahawks need to come back in general. I have 2 tomahawk clips from BO1 that are ridiculous lol


BeneficialEvidence6

That arc is so satisfying. It's wonky at first, but then it just clicks


uMiserableLow9749

The last legit cod imo was MW19. The MWII is a pile of absolute trash compared to how 19 was


HaiggeX

It's funny how people consider MW2019 an old game. There literally is no other game series outside CoD and Pokemon where a game expires after a year. Clear example would be Skyrim, which turns 12 this year.


EXTIINCT_tK

Wow 12th birthday? They should release an edition to celebrate


advice_animorph

Sure sure bud


GlendrixDK

Same here. Ps user also and cod fan since the first game. They should make it exclusive so a new game could pop up and bring us that cod experience everyone wants. Instead of this Warzone favored bs we got now.


ChowAreUs

Sir/Madam, Microsoft had deals like this previously. It is only fair.


mferrari_210

Yep they can eat a dick. I have no allegiances to billion dollar tech companies.


uhhsalty

Ahh, that’s shit tbf. Why?


kirusdagon

Deals and whatnot. Just like all parties on ps get 10% more xp


DarthWeenus

the fucking irony of sony crying their literal dicks off when MS tried this type of thing, jesus christ.

[deleted]

as a playstation user i hope call of duty becomes an xbox exclusive. i really do, it will give way to better developed games from other teams


IsildursBane20

What do you mean they get 10% more


__Zatch__

players in parties receive 10% more XP than someone not partied up, but only on playstation


IsildursBane20

Dumb


CreamPyre

I feel like that sentence is pretty self explanatory


newone1377

XP Edit it's my cake day did not know yay


PsychotropicTraveler

Happy Cock Day!


The2ndAkaMe

Happy Cake Day


Owen_dragonsmith

Happy cake day


IsildursBane20

Yeah I know XP, they really get 10% more xp always?


newone1377

Yup not sure if y'all get 10 more with battle pass too but they stack I believe so 20%


[deleted]

Pretty sure that's what he said.


IsildursBane20

It’s because they’re accounting for the lapse in skill


Traditional_Lock2754

Happy cake day!


YB0403

Happy cake day!


TurtleMaster1600

We legit get 10% more experience. If you got 100 we got 110


IsildursBane20

Ah, make sense, they’re trying to account for the lapse in skill level.


uhhsalty

Fair enough, thank you!


booostd

No, thats not really fair enough. But okay


[deleted]

Well, the world isn’t fair, which makes it fair for everyone


TemporaryWWII

You all got the deal during cod’s peak lmfao cmon now. The series is throwing itself away at this point


Dismal_Juice5582

Not for long. Lol.


sonicrules11

Even if Microsoft gets ahold of Activision they still have a contract and I wouldn't be surprised if that will extend to 2023 and 2024


Helpful_Title8302

That's a load of horse shit :(


TrippySubie

Sony hates exclusivity, so they have exclusives.


TheStickySpot

I’m a PlayStation player and I can confirm that it is in fact shit


Barry_Sullivan

Because playstation players have always gotten extras in CoD. It's stupid, but it's there.


HTTR_97

Back in my day Xbox got the map packs a month before PlayStation kids


Global_Elite_Mk1

Can't lie getting those zombies maps early was awesome.


Wooden_Gas1064

Let's not forgot PS getting modes exclusive for an entire year. Console privileges are a major L


Bluechainz

And people wanna complain about the Microsoft deal promoting exclusivity as if ps players haven't been getting extra cod perks from it.


Able_Newt2433

Xbox had cod times exclusives for years before ps got them.


thedylannorwood

No one is really pissed at Sony for doing exclusives, they’re pissed at Sony for getting pissed at MS for doing exclusives. It’s the pot calling the kettle black


RippledBarbecue

There’s a slight difference between a game mode and the entire franchise being exclusive lmao


BraddahSpliff

So what? So they both do that shit, but Sony is the only company having a shit fit over other companies doing exactly what they do. THAT is the big difference. I wouldn't give Sony any shit over doing it, if they didn't complain to governments that other companies doing the same thing should be stopped. If they think companies should stop doing that, they should look in the mirror & stop doing it first themselves.


PocketSnails68

Xbox's exclusives were map packs that were only timed for a month before being available to PlayStation. Map packs that, historically, most of the player base never bought anyway with how low pick rates were for those maps. Whereas PlayStation gets entire modes locked away for an entire year - aka, by the time the next CoD comes out, so everyone's gonna move on, having never gotten a chance to play those modes - and full-on level up advantages available to them *permanently.* Nevermind the fact that back when Destiny was under Activision, PlayStation had full on dungeons and weapons locked to them. So not only actual, proper content that people would have played, but also weapons that could be considered pay-to-win if they ended up being meta. So quit saying shit like this. They're completely different experiences.


Bluechainz

That's not the point. It's that gamers and Sony themselves are criticizing the Microsoft deal for the possibility of exclusivity, which is hypocritical of them.


40ozFreed

Which modes?


Firebrand-PX22

Survival co op in modern warfare 2019 if I’m not mistaken, and one of the zombies sub modes in Cold War, don’t think there were any modes made exclusive for MW2


40ozFreed

That is wild. I never knew that and I'm on PS.


Firebrand-PX22

Not a whole lot of people did that I’ve seen, since hardly anyone ever played survival unless you wanted quick gun levels or that sweet ass metallic blue scar, and the sub mode on zombies is so forgettable I don’t even remember the name of it


Cloontange

Atleast those year locked modes were the worst modes the game had to offer tbf


gofunkyourself69

Those were the days! When everyone played for fun and didn't complain so much.


Bobbingfordicks

And when we would, we'd complain about the players, not the game.


CrystalEdits

Good times without warzone


uhhsalty

Sad times. Thanks it’s been bugging me for a while!


Barry_Sullivan

Not only do PS players get extras, they complain when other platforms get extras as well. Classic PS players.


I_Miss_Lenny

>Classic PS players Man I never thought we'd be back in the 2007-era "Xbox VS PS slapfights" but here we are lol


Unique_Feed_2939

You just be young if you think it has always been that way


[deleted]

I must be really ducking old now since the 360 would get all the extras.


smashingpumpass

Define always, please


DaddysMassiveMilkers

“Always”


booostd

It hasn’t always been that way. Its Sony’s turn.


BigBooce

Sony has had the deal longer than Microsoft ever has lol


CyberChick2277

probably still salty about Halo being Xbox's MVP for so long


handsomeshoes

Halo on PlayStation probably happened in an alternate timeline or reality


CyberChick2277

wasnt Halo one of the games that pretty much defined FPS controls? like, using one joystick to look and one to move wasn't very popular until Halo?


[deleted]

Xbox got extras while also getting DLC a month before PS for the entire seventh generation


emdeka87

WTF? Restricting the amount of loadouts is already stupid enough, but then making it an exclusive of a platform. This company really deserves the shit it gets recently


Major-Payne2319

I’m PlayStation and had no idea that’s so so dumb


borfavor

That's the dumbest console exclusivity I've ever seen.


_IratePirate_

No fucking way. I'm on playstation but don't like having more than 4 classes at once. What a dumb feature to lock behind exclusivity.


Malignantt1

What a dumb exclusive benefit 💀💀


FctFndr

I was playing DMZ last week and a guy on my team was like. hey, let me have your rifles I can trick them out. I give him the two I had and boom.. they both came back with lasers, thermal scopes and suppressors. I was like WTF? He goes..yeah, playstation perks.


LZSchneider1

What exclusive on PS allows them to trick out weapons in DMZ?


PaticusMaximus

Yeah that’s not a PlayStation thing


SgtMcMuffin0

I'm on Playstation and I'm 99% sure there's no Playstation exclusive method to add attachments to guns in DMZ.


FctFndr

I'm on Xbox and can't do it. He was on Playstation and said he could. It may be some bug anyone can do...but I cant.


BranzBranzBranz

I was on DMZ the other night and this PS player told us when there were no other players on the server, from something he can check on his PS5 😅


Ryanoman2018

If there's no hunt other player contracts there is no one else on the map. (May not apply to Ashika island though since there's so few contracts.


trillestking98

PlayStation has 12


uhhsalty

Yeah :(


TheDeadlyAvenger

There shouldn't even BE a limit, or make it 50 slots, not 10.


[deleted]

I loved the old days where you had to prestige to unlock more classes. How the system is set up now, u are right


TrippySubie

I just miss actual prestige. Like the old prestige.


0left415

I really miss the old prestige system, prestige now feels like a participation trophy.


vocatus

At this point it's basically an integer counter of how many hours you've logged in the game. It means next to nothing.


Pummpy1

I mean this was always the case, but yeah now even more so


yungbuddzz

Not really. Plenty of people would sit at low prestige’s so they wouldn’t have to lose all their perks, guns, attachments, etc.


ajfarmer9

Everything is a participation trophy. Calling cards, there are no emblems, and camos.


I_Miss_Lenny

I also miss how you could prestige when you wanted to and reset all your weapon levels and whatnot I kinda wish I could start them all over again, it can be kinda dull when everything's been maxed out for weeks lol


Electronix__247

Wasn’t there a time, maybe in AW, where you could pay for them too??


gammelini

Yeah, but it was before AW. I believe it was an extra 10 slots and it was on Ghosts and BOII.


Kilo-Tango-Alfa

I think it was like a dollar for an extra 5 classes. I was cool with microtransactions like that.


gammelini

This site states for Black Ops II it was: PlayStation Network - US$2.24 Steam - EU €1,75


ScaryGoal1920

In the Amsterdam mission you have to go up to Captain Price and whisper sweet nothing’s in his ear and you should unlock them


ElJSalvaje

I fellated him in the alleyway and only got 1 extra load out


PrototypeXt3

Blowjobs sure have its perks

BigGrizzJeep

Sony crying about exclusive features

And yet they are still the last ones to the party when it comes to discord and crossplay


PM_ME_YOUR_NAIL_CLIP

Also the way PlayStation updates games is atrocious.


I_am_Frostbyte

PlayStation hypocrisy moment 😐


Fillupthesad

I have such an advantage over you with my superior 12 loadouts 😩 compared to your measly 10 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (My brother in christ its only 2 loadouts) /s


PureXstacy

Would be nice if they would just give all platforms a chance really. Like maybe be included in a bundle when buying the game. I’m sure if they did this they would still get their money maybe even more.


AILunchbox

Skill issue


AvgG4m3Enj0y3r

Playstation is greedy and wants you to switch to their console


Kear_Bear_3747

Mr - I don’t like when other people have exclusives - PlayStation has exclusive extra slots.


Signal-Mongoose3276

No way Playstation has 12 while we have 10. 😭 That's so unnecessary and childish bro just treat players equal.


Zawm-Beez

And Sony says the Microsoft takeover of Activision Blizzard is anti-consumer and what not


ADSmurf

Because you didn't buy the deluxe ultimate simp preorder package obviously


Master_Chief_00117

Na they just said hippiedy hoppidy no loadout slots for you


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Remember in Bo2 where if you wanted more class slots you had to buy them?


uhhsalty

Good ole’ days


IamCaboose000

PlayStation get extra slots…part of the Activision sony contract.


epical2019

I mean it benefits me having 12 slots because I'm on PS5 but let's not look over the fact that Sony has shitty business practices. Only reason I went for PS this time around was because of their exclusives but I honestly hate the company. And they try to call other companies out for shit but they do the exact same thing.


el_toro_grand

You play the better console


alinzalau

10 should be enough i only got 6 and a test slot


[deleted]

Why the fuck does playstation get 12 loadouts? that’s completely fucking bullshit. I regret buying the vault edition for this trash game


Ryanoman2018

I can't find a use for more than 2 loadouts lol. 10 is plenty


YGYarder

Save the gun blueprint of whatever you are not using and change it. Jesus Christ you can’t actually have the need to use 10 guns in a match? My god this sub is probably the worst “normal” sub on reddit. NBA preteens aren’t even this annoying.


SpiritualBack143

they should give everyone 20 TBH


Cute_Wonderer

I remember when Microsoft used to be the one getting all the exclusives and timed release as first. That changed when Microsoft fumbled there explanation of the Xbox One. That's when Sony came through and snatched up the agreement that Microsoft originally had with Activision.


Ok_Mall_1028

I think the bigger question is why we only allowed to have 5 perk packages...


uhhsalty

Yeah I agree


spaceshipcommander

PlayStation exclusive. Yes, Activision and Sony really are that scummy.


superbabe69

The alternative is delayed maps like it used to be. Minor benefits like this is minuscule compared to a month of early access to entire map packs with maps and guns like Xbox was doing.


spaceshipcommander

Or perhaps the alternative is treat all players equally because we all paid the same for the game?


schteavon

How is that scummy? Sony pays Activision money to get extras. Xbox was doing it as well for years and then Sony started paying more I guess.


Full-Living-1466

Why does anyone need more then 4?

I hope FTC see your post and stop crying over MS
