Map packs weren't a good idea when they were all the rage.
I was playing PC shooters at the time, where maps would get released for free, and I was looking over at my console friends, scratching my head as to why they were paying for things we were getting for free.
Map packs divide the playerbase, and maps from those map packs inevitably get less play as a result.
People who think map packs are better than battle passes are out of their minds.
The F2P model works perfectly for me. If I try a game and I bounce off it, no problem. No money spent. If I enjoy a game and really invest time, I can throw the devs some money as appreciation and get some cool cosmetics. Win-win.
Yes, hate battle passes
Just want more maps if I enjoy the game.
Except with battle passes, you WILL get more maps, over the life of the game, at no cost to you. Battle passes do not mean no new maps. Do people here not know how this works?
