A leak says that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have loot boxes in which players can find weapons. This has made players really angry.
What was leaked? A data miner discovered that the system for microtransactions in the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is no longer just cosmetic. Changes have supposedly been made to include weapons in the supply drops.
Such a hint at supply drops in Modern Warfare has already been a topic among players days ago.
What does this mean specifically? A leaker has apparently found in the data of Modern Warfare that the developers are removing the “Fair System.” Instead, there will reportedly be supply drops with weapons and other filler content such as emotes and sprays.
On Twitter, he writes: “Who wants 300+ emotes in supply drops, who wants 500+ titles, who wants over 200 sprays in supply drops? Yayyayayayayya. Weapons are also coming, forget all this “just cosmetic” nonsense.”
Previously, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was criticized by fans for having such an aggressive business model. It is said that the game as a full-price title with a season pass offers even more microtransactions than most free-to-play games.
Leak causes tension in the community
This is how players react: This news is causing a lot of excitement on Reddit. Just on Wednesday, players were upset that PS4 players will have exclusive access to a mode in Modern Warfare for a year.
But that is now secondary, it is said in a popular Reddit thread: “I think we should be more annoyed that weapons are hidden in loot boxes instead of missing out on a mode that most of you probably won’t play anyway.”
The post received over 8200 upvotes in less than a day.
In other threads, players are clearly advising: “Cancel your pre-orders.” Reddit user Dougary96 writes: “Don’t be one of those people defending the game like in other comments.

In many discussions, it is written that one should cancel their pre-orders to make a statement.
“I wanted to play the game without seeing these stupid emotes and loot box weapons. This is disappointing,” it says in another thread on Reddit on this topic.
One should keep in mind that this is a leak and not an official announcement.
What do you think about this topic? Are the weapons in supply drops a reason for you to avoid Modern Warfare?
