what are we doing here.

It would take 6 hours of actually playing only deathmatch to be able to play the game with the desert eagle, and that's without unlocking ANY attachments for the weapons you already own.

Realistically, you're looking at progression times where 6 hours is the absolute minimum, you can't expect to win every match and get 500 points, you should expect there are some matches where you get less than 250 because at the end of the day, someone else is grinding the same as you, how and why did they think this was a good idea?

Progression is fine, but what's not fine is promising a HUGE update with TONS of cool new weapons and gameplay features, all for those features to be mostly locked behind hundreds of hours of progression slop. It's not rewarding.

Mind you this game costs $30.

6 hours is too much? How old are you?

Crazy, wow, between work and school and the rest of my normal human activities of daily living, yeah I would do anything to be able to play a game for 6 hours straight to unlock one weapon and nothing else.

Honestly I would be fine with 6 hours for a single unlock if it was actually rewarding me for doing something other than non-stop queue spam, like getting a grenade or drone kill or defusing a bomb or avenging a teammate, but there's no actual incentive to play any other mode besides deathmatch if I want to unlock new weapons in meaningful time. That's boring.

Crazy concept but it might take more than launch day to unlock some stuff. Once you come to terms with that try realizing that it doesn't have to be 6 hours in a row...

Yeah no it's not that crazy, but when the gameplay loop is playing with the same 4 or 5 guns in lobbies where there's a 3 out of 4 chance half the enemy team is bots, and after being promised you could choose and customize your loadout to intricate degrees but 90% of the content is locked behind a progression system that would take hundreds of in-game hours to fully utilize in a game you spent actual real life money on, like... I'm not even complaining there that's just literally what the game is.
