Call of Duty Black Ops 2 adding microtransaction to PS3 and PC

Microtransactions isn't a new thing for Black Ops because it has been previously released on the Xbox 360 beforehand. Black Ops 2 players were able to purcahse in game perks like extra slots to create more classes, and more space to upload images and videos to their channels. The price for adding these perks to your game were 160 Microsoft points ($2 US Dollars)


These types of microtransactions are about to be released on the PS3 and PC versions of Black Ops 2. This will all be released for the PS3 and the PC version of Black Ops 2 on April 12, 2013. Also gamers on these platforms will be able to download Nuketown 2025 for free on April 12.

I know many gamers do not like the thought of microtransactions being involved in their games. In this case I don't mind because it doesn't provide players with unfair competitive advantage. Games that have these transactions that creates a pay to win incentive for gamers to go through microtransactions. Its great that this is only cosmetic bonuses because these are stuff I am sure Black Ops 2 gamers are willing to purchase. Many do complain that they need more class slots, and space to upload videos and images to their channel. In the future I hope Activision doesn't push gamers to go through microtransactions to obtain more class slots   when the game launches. I hope they continue to go with this route that allows gamers to obtain these class slots through their prestige system. Rather than having players pay for class slots, and give players the options to obtain classes if they want to pay for it

The Evolution Of The First Person Shooter (FPS)

First person shooter has come a very long way.  It was very popular in the 90s with games on various consoles and PC. Early 90s FPS games started off with simple controls like Wolfstein and Doom. In these games the user couldn’t fully move their aimer in a 360 direction. The movement of the crosshair would only move left and right. Gamers in this time never experienced games of this nature, so they were huge hits. 

Then later on in the 90s games such as Medal of Honor and Goldeneye were huge hits because these games revolutionized the genre. These games were the first games that had multiplayer split screen supports for a console.  The results of Goldeneye were great and had huge sales. Many gamers remember this game as the game that revolutionized console FPS games. 

Then in the in the early 2000s Xbox had a major hit in Halo: Combat Evolved this game changed everything because gamers never felt a game this addicting since golden eye, and it had one of the most memorable campaigns in video game history. This game showed that FPS games and video games in general can have a theatrical feel something that you can experience in a movie theatre. Then many years later Xbox launched Halo 2 which was one of the first games to effectively implement online matchmaking and one of the most memorable online multiplayer experience on a console ever. 

After the success of games like Halo and Halo 2 it ushered in a huge craze in console gaming. The results from the success of Halo made games like the Call Of Duty, Killzone, Battlefield, and many other FPS games have huge success when they were released. Online component of FPS games are here to stay, and many feel that every FPS game has to have online features in order for it have huge amount of sales.
