Since I’m a WoW addict, naturally I’m a Blizzard fan, of sorts. But my mind is blown every time I see anything from Call of Duty on the launcher. I’ve been really out of the loop, and recently saw this… and I’m shocked. You have to BUY the game for “open beta access”, like how does that make any sense? Also, the general look of the game and its marketing now looks like a $5 ripoff FPS game on Steam… What the heck happened?

    Feels disingenuous to say “open beta” and require a purchase. Just call it beta early access like every other game.

      “Open beta” lets them erase progress if they want.

      “Early access” usually implies that you get a head start on the normies
