Read the review, Game Informer still thinks it is a good game, but the microtransaction and the lackluster campaign is the culprit. I heard the campaign is just 4 hours long! What a waste man. They manage to make this worst than the first one that had less content.

If you read the review...youll get it.

First realize that MP is the MAIN component of the game....so a pay to win progression tied with it is bound to be a problem.

" Like I said I’m not spending any money on loot boxes. That’s how I’ll vote against them but if someone decides to buy them so be it."

Like EA gives a crap about your vote, they already have your money, you can burn the game for all they care.

I dont think you get it.
If this is successfull it will encourage other devs to do the same...lots of money.
If they do the same...how far will they go?
It may come to a point where you get owned unless you pay more...they can and will take it in that direction.

So yes it will affect you. And it does affect you know if you go against another player just as skilled but has that extra upgrade that they paid for that you dont...in a standoff you die and he wins.
