:lol: this is pathetic.

Haha poo poo this happens on that big HQ lobby so basically you get to see whenever anyone is opening boxes which in turn makes you want to get some boxes yourself. This is almost offensively predatory.

I'm impressed with the innovations we're seeing from the player psychology division at Activision. Great stuff. Love too have my spinal cord tickled with variable releases of dopamine. And now other players can participate with me on the beaches of Normandy!

See that would require more effort to code one specific area as the supply drop area and have like a shitload of trains piled up in said area and on fire

If only there's a kinda camp we can concentrate this cash grab stuff into.

Oh my God

quote:

The magazine says that players can actually open their Supply Drops directly in Headquarters with your friends watching you open and see what loot you get. GameInformer says opening the drops this way increases your “social score” in Headquarters. The more you participate in different social events in Call of Duty: WWII MP, the higher chance of earning better loot in Supply Drops.

Even more so, the magazine says that if you open something cool in a drop, everyone around you watching will also be rewarded with some sort of a prize. It is not clear yet what that prize is.

This is insane hahahahahahahahahhaah. I wonder if there’s going to be a supply drop / social score leaderboard.
