    Did they do preorders for the Early Access version, as well?

    Sorry… I’m gonna stop giving them ideas. Things are bad enough already.

      They did, yes. Getting pretty common these days. Early Access with a preorder of a higher priced digital edition of a game. Seems relatively harmless to me. I would never pay for that, but I think if it means that much to you, it’s not hurting anything.

        I feel somewhat the same on single player, but this is competitive GAAS, and they knew exactly what they were doing when they did it here. People who do this seriously already know every map, every spawn and every weapons characteristics within three days. (I’m wrong about this see below) This is simply another pay to win mechanic for the kind of people who play 12 hours a day, reach max rank in three days and hunt rookies who didn’t spend the extra money to play early.

        I have been corrected and apologize for the mistake. It is not competitive and that mostly renders my point moot. I’m leaving this here for posterity.

          It’s not competitive. It’s cooperative. It doesn’t even have a pvp mode.

          And even if it had a pvp mode, 3 days isn’t going to change anything long term. It’s such a minor issue. It’s just another thing for people to needlessly complain about.
