what a fucking STEAL
holy hell how much I wish I could bombard the people that ever came up with DLC for CoD
I bought Blops 2, and the core game is alright, but holy hell the amount of ... tardiness in the game is astounding, and the fact that you have to go through advertisements to get to the game?
oh my

What game are you playing that has ads on launching the game?
Why can't they release these at the same time as Xbox and PS3? No, not date-wise, time-wise. PS3 even had it at hours before PC did.

Microsoft pays Activision big bucks to delay the release of DLC to PS3 and PC.
It is a waste of gold subscription revenue.

Meanwhile, people buy individual skins in LoL for $10-$30 and nobody cares.
Something entirely cosmetic.
At least maps help make the game somewhat interesting again.

Because it's LoL and who gives a fuck about MOBAs. They aren't having as big an impact on the market as people think.

League of Legends is the 4th most popular game in the world with a value of well over $250 million.
The game gets around 500,000 concurrent players during peak hours on the EU West shard alone.
Dota 2 is the highest played game on Steam at any given time, usually around 411,000 concurrent players globally.
These games have much [I]more [/I]of an impact than people think.

You might not care about MOBAs, but as Super Muffin stated a whole lot of other people do. It's a really lively genre that's growing and branching out like crazy, from more clone-like titles like DOTA2/LOL/HON/Blizzard's thing to simplifications like Awesomenauts and experiments like Smite and Super Monday Night Combat. Not to mention LoL and DOTA2 are massively pushing eSports right now.
And all of that although it's a game type full of unintuitive concepts you need to read up online, completely confusing teamfights unless you know every single hero, and a lot of frustrating factors like dependency on individual players in random pubs or long match times. Not to mention the notoriously toxic and obnoxious community arising from that steep frustrating learning curve. But people dig this type of game so much they're ready to put up with all of it and make DOTA2 and LoL especially two of the most popular online games right now, which in their own right are pushing things like the F2P model or Tribunal systems.
If that doesn't say a whole lot about the impact of MOBAs on the market, I don't know what could.

Ask the average person who owns say, the 360, "yo herd about them Lols?". They are quite likely to not have a clue, or think you mean the silly cat pictures. That's impact.
I've not said it's had zero impact, just that it hasn't changed the market as much as people think (it may have helped with the freemium model a bit, but shooters were starting to get the hang of it). It has little market penetration outside of PC gaming, which unsurprisingly is not the be-all end-all of gaming.

Also not true. LoL draws a large amount of console players.
It scales well to computers with lower specs and it caters well to casual players.
I like the paintball map, that's a cool idea.

When starting the BO2 multiplayer you get a news feed on the new updates to the game sorta like TF2, promotional events (usually double XP weeks/weekends), announcements on COD:Dogs/Ghosts/MW2.75, and plenty of times the new DLC, it's not really an ad, not like say Killing Floor which literally plays commercials for Rising Storm when you join a server.
Are any of the DLC's worth the $15? So far I've only bought Nuketown Zombies since it felt like a return to form like in the WaW days of zombies where everything was simpler.
