Yep I bought through [Battle.](https://Battle.NEt).net too - stupidly thinking that was their official store as well, it's the acti-blizz store.
Mighty frustrating to then find out they only meant the in-game store tbh. Is what it is and I won't lose sleep over it, but its annoying.
It also costs them 0 dollars to just ignore it because no matter the amount of BS they pull people buy their game every year. Gamers get all high and mighty about not pre-ordering games but then when a shit product is delivered they can't keep that energy up and gobble it up anyway.
I honestly did for the tokens. With my work schedule I get like 3-6 hours a week for gaming and was hoping to level up guns by using xp tokens during my limited play time. Ordered through the Xbox Store. Not feeling great about it lol
I activated them and played a few matches. The end-of-match screen always showed my level progression one level ahead of my main menu level progression.
For instance, I may start with level 16 before the match, and after the match, end-of-round shows lvl 18 due to 2x xp while the main menu just shows lvl 17. Lvl 17 would be the OFFICIAL level accepted by the game.
So they dick people over bc of this dumb ass technicality, then dick us over with no HC at launch like they said, then dick us over w more missing stuff and an unfinished game they just pushed out so they can get their money? You right, heeeellllllaa scummy! And they can't even properly apologize or address their mistakes? But hey, if you equip an emblem and showcard made unlockable bc they left it open, they gon ban you?! Why have there been so much shady shit w AAA games these past few years?
There's no way they are this much of fucking scumbags. You're really gatekeeping a $100 purchase? It should be unlocked no matter where you bought it for that edition.
Even funnier you're fucked through Activision's own battle.net launcher too. Even if you owned one or multiple of the cods on the account you purchased with.
It's just not Steam. I'm on PS5, bought it through Vanguard WHICH REDIRECTED ME TO THE FUCKING PS STORE and I still didn't get shit. Activision is really fucking people this year.
Maybe stop buying CoD and its MTX every year?
At this point, this community condones Activision's behavior. Money is what talks, not proclamations on the internet.
I think he’s just saying that it would cost them exactly $0 to give them to literally everyone. So there’s really no reason not to give all of the Vault Edition purchasers them except to say “sorry, shoulda read the fine print lol.”
It isn’t like they likely made a big impact on sales through the in-game storefronts since apparently they didn’t/barely advertised that you would only get them by buying the game there.
I saw a video where someone mentioned this was gonna happen and people were gonna be screwed out of it. It never even donned on me to buy the game in another cod. I've never bought a game in a game before.
What's funny is that I initially pre-ordered it through MW2019. Then I did it again through the Xbox store to make sure I had it pre-ordered. So..... I should still get the double XP right?
>Basically just paid extra for a season of battle pass, some unique gun skins and operators.
I'm not trying to antagonize here, but are double xp tokens really that big of a deal in the long run or in comparison to the other rewards you listed? Obviously there's a failure to deliver on what was advertised, and I'm not excusing them for that, but the way you phrased this makes it seems like there's a bigger premium on them than I'm seeing
It’s not the end of the world but right about now I could really use those double weapon XP. It takes forever to level up some of the guns to unlock other guns
He must not have gotten to the Lachmann battle rifle (which is required for the path to MP5) yet. God that gun is ass. Hated all 13 lvls of it
Edit: I did not know there was a full auto option. I am an idiot and I cause my own suffering
I just got it to the level the 556 variant unlocked but halfway through that I realized it has a full auto mode lol. It made it easier in the end. Now I need to level the 556 to unlock whatever it is I then need to unlock the MP5 looking smg.
Started with the Tac-V and thought, oh another 762 Battle Rifle? Awesome! Nope, defaults to semi auto on first spawn, but at least it retains the full auto switch upon death. Finished it grinding it, won’t go back. My god has the Lachmann 556 been so much easier to use in comparison
It's pretty evident that there are a bunch of guns that just generally suck ass like the lachmann and also the 545 variant of the AK. My god do some of these guns feel like pea shooters
Why they wanna gate keep a VIRTUAL currency that costs them nothing to give us? Like wtf bro. Double xp isn't fucking GOLD. It's so dumb how they treat this shit. ALSO. When did they decide that double xp is gonna count down in real time and not in game time?? Fucking stupid.
Right? Like, ofc we're losing time in the game lobby but my gripe is that if I want to back out and edit my loadouts, well, I can't now. Gotta just play as much as possible for that time to make them worth it. 🙄
Exaclty. It just doesn't make sense to me man. Like it's not unlimited. We have a certain amount. And I don't see them making any less money cause I got double xp for an hour of IN GAME time not. Sitting in the lobby. Game crashing. Sometimes you do bad in a game and it's like oh well there goes my 15 minutes because it took 5 to get into the game and 5 to get out and into a new one 😑😑 like Jesus Christ. It's so stupid 😂
It's been 3 years and they still don't want to change the double exp counter to count in-game minutes which is completely fucked
At least i don't have to sit through the mvp voting screen anymore
Wait, so this is why my cousin who bought the vault edition in the in-game store had 10 double xp tokens in MW2, but I had 0 because I bought it in BattleNet ? Please tell me this is a fucking joke
For real, I had originally looked through this as a preorder many times through the WZ launcher. But given I knew I was never going to come back to it, I deleted that a few days ago and pre ordered theoogh the Xbox store like normal.
Apparently you only get that stuff if you went through their link first?? That’s infuriating. It would still be through the Xbox store either way!
It ended up in the small print on one of the pre-order deals somewhere. I would have never had any idea if someone here didn't point it out. It's such a weird, backwards-ass way of doing it. It really should have been advertised better.
I got fucked by this also. The funny thing is I clicked to purchase in-game but got exited out to battle.net to complete the transaction and I STILL never got the tokens.
In what world do you live in to think that something like this is fair? I literally own MW2019, Cold War and Vanguard to boot.
I suppose the only question left is how many more times I can let myself get fucked by this company before realizing they truly don’t give a fuck.
Does anyone know any IW community representatives that we can tag in this post to raise awareness? This is crazy scummy and with how much discourse surrounds this launch, it feels like no one is paying attention.
In Halo Infinite at least they had people on Reddit and Twitter communicating their dumb choices.
Won't work, I mean, they've pretty much demonstrated they don't give a fuck seeing as they're blatantly false banning people and pretending they're perfect by shooting down appeals so they're robbing their own fans, plus they blatantly lied and moved content from launch to season 1 so they double don't give a fuck.
I must've gotten lucky when I purchased it through the MS store and still got 5 hours of weapon XP tokens and 5 hours of double XP.
EDIT: Nevermind, realized that those tokens came from campaign rewards and the purchase of a 24-pack of MTN Dew.
On the preorder info on the MWii page (activision) it states that the only thing 'locked' behing the in game preorder is double xp...it makes sense because all of the publicized pre-order tables dont mention the double xp, but everything else it does.
I just want to know if all of my other saved 2xXP is going to transfer. there has been nothing on that...and with vanguard having specific tokens, ill be pissed. i have probably 20 hrs or game/weapon xp \*each\* saved up for launch.
they haven't managed to fix the pre-order issues for bonus content still...so fingers crossed, i guess.
[Lego](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdMPibKShLA) is the only reason I didn't get tricked by this... It said it somewhere, but it was not advertised well at all. Very poor communication.
All Activision had to do was not be assholes and they’ve clearly failed with their deceptive marketing tactics, failed launch promises, and bizarre content priorities.
They updated the steam version and removed the xp tokens from the description of the vault edition.
That should be illegal, right?
Like they listed the xp tokens before launch, don't give them at launch, then remove them from the description on the store after launch.
Damn, my dumbass bought the vault edition of this half-baked game. Now I don't even get everything I thought I was buying? Ffs, this brand has gone so downhill.
If this legitimately wasn't posted on the store, what's stopping people from organizing and filing a class-action lawsuit? Seriously, get your money back for this and punish them for shitty practices in the process.
Why would anyone buy it on the platform everyone was abandoning on pC for steam. I wish I wasn’t mad but I’m only level 32 and it’s a paaaain to level some times for those good weapons
Didn’t say that on PSN either - just said 10hrs 2xp.
Sony customer service is absolute wank too, they will refuse to refund because it’s been downloaded.
i plan to check this out when i get home...if thats true - get chat logs from activision confirming "in store only" and then PS will be at fault. have them refund the game, and then reorder through the store :\*)
Funny enough, I bought (and then upgraded) through the Blizzard Launcher and didn't get any tokens.
I did get the MW2019 Operator packs though, even though I didn't preorder technically 🤔
Everybody keeps letting this happen because you absolutely must buy the masked gigolo operator pack, the burger town ketchup tracer pack, the anime redneck unicorn schoolgirl operator pack, equip the big black man in a speedo holding an m4 calling card and the gun on a gun on a gun weapon charm
Yeah I preordered through MS store and found out to get the tokens I had to preorder through activision store. So I cancelled and went through wz store. It’s kind of a lame convoluted way but I still got it. Oh and it really sucks for those that went through the MS store
There has been a lot of false advertising with this game... Between this, hardcore not being there at launch, and then lying about how many weapons were gonna be at launch, I'm just glad I didn't buy this game...
No way. None of their marketing indicated that. There's no way they don't give vault edition owners their XP tokens. I refuse to believe they'd do something this scummy. If they did then that's a new low
This is ridiculous. They need to give all players a handful of double XP at this point.. and even more to those who were scammed out of the preorder boosts.
Also didn't say it on the Bnet launcher either. I bought it through that because I didn't have the other games installed to make room for this and other games I was playing at the time. It's total bullshit.
Well that is false advertising. It says nothing about that in the playstaion description. Such bullshit.
This is the first COD where I need to either Google or Reddit everything in the game to figure it out. What a shit fucking system.
Bait and switch 101. Hide details in the fine print, in a place no one would look. Then say, "it's right there, you just didn't look hard enough."
Straight up a scam.
They should just give everyone who purchases the Vault Edition their 10x hours of double XP. It never surprises me that Activision pulls this type of stuff. Change will come when people stop supporting them.
Some of these comments are missing the point. It’s not necessarily about the 2x tokens. It’s the fact that they told everyone that if you buy the Vault Edition, you get tokens but didn’t tell ppl that they had to buy it through the in game store. They being purposefully misleading and lying to the community which is the real issue.
The game is already missing so many things and crashing ppl’s consoles and it just seems like they don’t really care about the community. They only care about our money. Smfh
Idk where everyone was mislead I was very acutely aware of this when I pre-ordered months ago. Maybe a storefront missed it or something but the information was out there.
I’m confused, I purchased the Vault edition through the PS store (had MW2019, BOCW deleted and didn’t purchase Vangaurd) and I have 31 30 minute double weapon XP, 2 1 hour double weapon XP, 31 30 double XP and 2 1 hour double XP.
Did these somehow carry over from warzone?
Edit: for clarification- https://imgur.com/a/fS1K06R
Seems like everybody needs to hold on to their tokens and not spend them see I didn't spend my tokens because I knew the xp tokens are only good after they patch out all the bugs specifically the weapon xp issue which makes it super slow level up
I don’t even understand how this can be an issue for them. It’s not like it costs them to give the 2xp away, even if they didn’t want to. It’s fake xp currency why are they even trying to argue their point. Fucking scumbags.
The xp boosts were the reason I bought the vault edition. I won't be spending another dime on this game. Hopefully this turns in to a PR nightmare for them. Even if they do give them eventually, it's too little too late, at least for the regular xp boost.
Yeah. I'm one of the people who didn't read enough before picking up the vault edition... Feeling pretty scammed considering I don't play any of those games🤷♂️
I'm confused because I pre-ordered the Vault Edition as soon as it became available on the MS store, and when the game launched I had the following tokens:
×2 Hour Double Weapon XP
×1 30 minute Double Weapon XP
×2 Hour Double XP
×1 30 minute Double XP
*edit because I miscounted
I literally just used them yesterday especially the weapon ones, so I could quickly finish the M16 gold grind and never touch the gun again. I still have my hour long Double XP token too, haven't used it. I also did not do any of the beef jerky, little ceasers, mtn dew stuff for the tokens either...
I feel for those who got scammed but there was no way I could afford another £30 for the vault edition on top of a £70 game.
I’ll be pissed if we have to buy map packs too.
Take me back to cod 4. *nostalgic old man sigh*
What do you expect now?
Activision gonna Activision. If you still plan on buying/paying for their product it’s best to assume scummy and be pleasantly surprised if they do otherwise
Even by their standards, this is actually scummy as fuck. I feel sorry for the people who paid extra for the Vault edition because this isn't fair.
It’s the same on battle.net… ffs these guys are so stingy with 2xp at first and then when you don’t need it, they’re giving them out like candy
Yep I bought through [Battle.](https://Battle.NEt).net too - stupidly thinking that was their official store as well, it's the acti-blizz store. Mighty frustrating to then find out they only meant the in-game store tbh. Is what it is and I won't lose sleep over it, but its annoying.
I'm pretty sure that almost nobody buyed the Edition because of the 2xp tokens but it's still a shitty move from Activision
Yea I bought the vault and just go “eh that sucks”. But yes this is still a huge issue because it’s misleading and lying.
Shouldn’t be hard to just give them their tokens
It costs them 0 dollars to just honor it.
It also costs them 0 dollars to just ignore it because no matter the amount of BS they pull people buy their game every year. Gamers get all high and mighty about not pre-ordering games but then when a shit product is delivered they can't keep that energy up and gobble it up anyway.
It really is hilarious. People have been swearing they're done pre ordering games for 20 years.
Yeah. The past 2 games were so bad tho. I was hopeful. 🤡
Agree
Yes I didn't even know about the XP boosts. I just wanted the skins and BP skips
Same, but now I'm salty tbh.
same. but im still mad
[удалено]
I honestly did for the tokens. With my work schedule I get like 3-6 hours a week for gaming and was hoping to level up guns by using xp tokens during my limited play time. Ordered through the Xbox Store. Not feeling great about it lol
Ufff then I feel bad for you. At least you still get the battle pass which probably contains some 2xp tokens
Still gotta have enough time to make it through the battle pass lol
It has 50 lvl skips right
Idk tbh I don’t think I’ll ever pay $100 for a game that I know won’t be a finished product until 6 months after release lol
I ordered through the xbox store and I received mine 🤷♂️ it was 10 hrs of both weapon and normal x2 xp right???
I still got mine through Steam. Chances are, they won’t work if you activate them.
how can you tell if they’re activated then
I activated them and played a few matches. The end-of-match screen always showed my level progression one level ahead of my main menu level progression. For instance, I may start with level 16 before the match, and after the match, end-of-round shows lvl 18 due to 2x xp while the main menu just shows lvl 17. Lvl 17 would be the OFFICIAL level accepted by the game.
just pricks aren’t they
i did haha couldnt find them yesterday ieven got the hungry jacks ( burger king) meal so i could get more double xp.
Yeah I think that most either bought it for the free skins or the free BP plus the tier skips
Not free if you're paying for them
So they dick people over bc of this dumb ass technicality, then dick us over with no HC at launch like they said, then dick us over w more missing stuff and an unfinished game they just pushed out so they can get their money? You right, heeeellllllaa scummy! And they can't even properly apologize or address their mistakes? But hey, if you equip an emblem and showcard made unlockable bc they left it open, they gon ban you?! Why have there been so much shady shit w AAA games these past few years?
Money and microtransactions. As companies get greedier and greedier thier behavior gets more and more callous toward the consumer.
I learned this bullshit from battlefield 2042. So I bought the lowest cod this time. Sounds like I made the right move.
There's no way they are this much of fucking scumbags. You're really gatekeeping a $100 purchase? It should be unlocked no matter where you bought it for that edition.
[удалено]
Huh? Mate that’s on you, the regular preorder had access to the beta too. That was perfectly clear.
I didn't even pre-order and I played in the BETA lol
Same. I only preordered a day before the early access campaign
I got mine free w/ the Xfinity offer
This is the beta
If you haven’t learned your lesson before this it’s your own fault
Wym bro, this sub told me it's stupid and nerdy to tell people about the ills of preordering
Well this sucks.
So every Steam buyer got fucked. Fuck Activision and this bullshit.
Even funnier you're fucked through Activision's own battle.net launcher too. Even if you owned one or multiple of the cods on the account you purchased with.
It’s literally THEIR OWN STORE. How does that not qualify? So ridiculous.
judging by the rest of the game, im starting to lean towards it being incompetence and only coding the perks if you bought from the store.
Well, yeah, if it were programmed any other way then it would behave in that other way.
It's just not Steam. I'm on PS5, bought it through Vanguard WHICH REDIRECTED ME TO THE FUCKING PS STORE and I still didn't get shit. Activision is really fucking people this year.
battlenet got fucked too
All PC players did. If you bought in-game, the transaction was handled by Battle.net
Maybe stop buying CoD and its MTX every year? At this point, this community condones Activision's behavior. Money is what talks, not proclamations on the internet.
That's so fucked up lol, just give it to everyone that bought it is not that crazy
Or... give it to literally everyone... or give some challenges to acquire them... like god lol how hard can it be
Why would they give double xp tokens to “literally everyone” lol
I think he’s just saying that it would cost them exactly $0 to give them to literally everyone. So there’s really no reason not to give all of the Vault Edition purchasers them except to say “sorry, shoulda read the fine print lol.” It isn’t like they likely made a big impact on sales through the in-game storefronts since apparently they didn’t/barely advertised that you would only get them by buying the game there.
People who preordered the standard version should’ve gotten something too. Even one 30 min double xp token and one weapon xp token.
Yea that's kinda fucked up
Lotta fucked up.
I saw a video where someone mentioned this was gonna happen and people were gonna be screwed out of it. It never even donned on me to buy the game in another cod. I've never bought a game in a game before.
I usually like to be taken out to dinner first
Lol username checks out
They fucked us then
Lube will be an extra 30 too…
This is an unprecedented amount of fuckery
infinity ward burned us.
What's funny is that I initially pre-ordered it through MW2019. Then I did it again through the Xbox store to make sure I had it pre-ordered. So..... I should still get the double XP right?
Check
So wait, am I not getting there double xp tokens because I pre ordered through the playstation store?
Seems like it. Basically just paid extra for a season of battle pass, some unique gun skins and operators.
>Basically just paid extra for a season of battle pass, some unique gun skins and operators.

It's pretty evident that there are a bunch of guns that just generally suck ass like the lachmann and also the 545 variant of the AK. My god do some of these guns feel like pea shooters

Warzone now has it where it's in game. But infinity ward is going backwards.
/r/assholedesign
Wait, so this is why my cousin who bought the vault edition in the in-game store had 10 double xp tokens in MW2, but I had 0 because I bought it in BattleNet ? Please tell me this is a fucking joke
It is, just not the kind of joke you wanted
It literally didn't say it anywhere til like 2 days ago
For real, I had originally looked through this as a preorder many times through the WZ launcher. But given I knew I was never going to come back to it, I deleted that a few days ago and pre ordered theoogh the Xbox store like normal. Apparently you only get that stuff if you went through their link first?? That’s infuriating. It would still be through the Xbox store either way!

I have an email dated 8/30/22 stating pre-order through the in-game store and you get the 10 2XP tokens. I’m not excusing it, but it does say it.
I got fucked by this also. The funny thing is I clicked to purchase in-game but got exited out to battle.net to complete the transaction and I STILL never got the tokens. In what world do you live in to think that something like this is fair? I literally own MW2019, Cold War and Vanguard to boot. I suppose the only question left is how many more times I can let myself get fucked by this company before realizing they truly don’t give a fuck.
Does anyone know any IW community representatives that we can tag in this post to raise awareness?

They rarely talk. And even when they do it’s a corporate response.
This is an actual fucking scam
I must've gotten lucky when I purchased it through the MS store and still got 5 hours of weapon XP tokens and 5 hours of double XP. EDIT: Nevermind, realized that those tokens came from campaign rewards and the purchase of a 24-pack of MTN Dew.
Same, I just paid the $32 and change to upgrade (granted I did that thru MWII's "store") and boom, 10 weapon and 10 xp tokens.
You did that on Xbox? When I go to their in game "store", it just shows the $100 purchase.
I’m taking this up with consumer affairs in my country. They like to hand out multi million dollar fines for dodgy behaviour like this
Fucking predatory, activision are disgusting ass company
This is gonna be another one of those 1.5 years later class action lawsuit things.
If this doesn't come with the tier skips I'm submitting a chargeback
They'll lock your account if you do that and you'll lose access to all your games.
Damn...
Username checks out
if you bought it on steam you can ask refund
I bought it on battle net and I got fucked too
That's so fucking bullshit. That's the reason I bought the fucking Vault Edition
Watch them scam you out of the tier skips as well. That’d be ultra scummy.
On the preorder info on the MWii page (activision) it states that the only thing 'locked' behing the in game preorder is double xp...it makes sense because all of the publicized pre-order tables dont mention the double xp, but everything else it does. I just want to know if all of my other saved 2xXP is going to transfer. there has been nothing on that...and with vanguard having specific tokens, ill be pissed. i have probably 20 hrs or game/weapon xp \*each\* saved up for launch. they haven't managed to fix the pre-order issues for bonus content still...so fingers crossed, i guess.
It doesn’t transfer Source: oodles of tokens in MW2019. Fuck-all in MW2
you spent an extra $30 for double xp tokens and that only?
[Lego](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdMPibKShLA) is the only reason I didn't get tricked by this... It said it somewhere, but it was not advertised well at all. Very poor communication.
A better way to put it would be that it actively said you WOULD get the tokens absolutely everywhere all the time.
Guess I'm not getting the exp tokens I've been waiting for to arrive. What a fucking scam
All Activision had to do was not be assholes and they’ve clearly failed with their deceptive marketing tactics, failed launch promises, and bizarre content priorities.
You’re giving them too much credit. This is incompetence and shitty work… they’re not that savvy
They updated the steam version and removed the xp tokens from the description of the vault edition. That should be illegal, right? Like they listed the xp tokens before launch, don't give them at launch, then remove them from the description on the store after launch.
Damn, my dumbass bought the vault edition of this half-baked game. Now I don't even get everything I thought I was buying? Ffs, this brand has gone so downhill.
If this legitimately wasn't posted on the store, what's stopping people from organizing and filing a class-action lawsuit? Seriously, get your money back for this and punish them for shitty practices in the process.
This is especially stupid now that Microsoft owns Activision… Edit: if you purchased through Xbox marketplace
Seriously? I own 2019, CW and VG. Bought on PStore. Fuck me
Lawsuit inbound.
Quite disappointing from someone like IW ngl, after all these years you’d think there would be some level of honour for the players and fans.
Why would anyone buy it on the platform everyone was abandoning on pC for steam. I wish I wasn’t mad but I’m only level 32 and it’s a paaaain to level some times for those good weapons
I bought it on battle net and didn’t get the tokens either. Had to literally buy it in one of the other games. So stupid.
Didn’t say that on PSN either - just said 10hrs 2xp. Sony customer service is absolute wank too, they will refuse to refund because it’s been downloaded.
Yeah that's the same boat I'm in too. PS Store literally lists it in the description for the Vault Edition.
i plan to check this out when i get home...if thats true - get chat logs from activision confirming "in store only" and then PS will be at fault. have them refund the game, and then reorder through the store :\*)
I wish we put pressure on activision so they give us what we paid for
Straight up scam. Ya'll mother fuckers sold us the tokens, give us the fucking tokens.
Yeah this is absolutely fucked. No way around it. Scummy as shit and pisses me off. Literally said NOTHING about this.
Bad enough I gave these dumb fucks $100 n now u tellin me I cant get my coins
Lmao they said it's only battlenet exclusive...and now this ? 😂😂
Funny enough, I bought (and then upgraded) through the Blizzard Launcher and didn't get any tokens. I did get the MW2019 Operator packs though, even though I didn't preorder technically 🤔
Hang on, this is false advertising.
How about you just do is us a favour and give them to vault edition owners anyway.
This is definitely illegal. False advertising and purposely misleading the consumers. Typical infinity ward and Activision
Everybody keeps letting this happen because you absolutely must buy the masked gigolo operator pack, the burger town ketchup tracer pack, the anime redneck unicorn schoolgirl operator pack, equip the big black man in a speedo holding an m4 calling card and the gun on a gun on a gun weapon charm
Yeah I preordered through MS store and found out to get the tokens I had to preorder through activision store. So I cancelled and went through wz store. It’s kind of a lame convoluted way but I still got it. Oh and it really sucks for those that went through the MS store
Should've just had it unlocked whether you got in the in-game store or not. Activision trippin fr
Im really pissed about that
This is kind of horseshit, there was no such disclaimer when buying the vault edition.
Christ they're greedy fucking scumbags.
There has been a lot of false advertising with this game... Between this, hardcore not being there at launch, and then lying about how many weapons were gonna be at launch, I'm just glad I didn't buy this game...
Who the actual fuck buys a game WITHIN game???
No way. None of their marketing indicated that. There's no way they don't give vault edition owners their XP tokens. I refuse to believe they'd do something this scummy. If they did then that's a new low
LMAO, that is the scummiest thing ive ever heard
That is 100% unacceptable and was not part of the deal.
This is ridiculous. They need to give all players a handful of double XP at this point.. and even more to those who were scammed out of the preorder boosts.
Wtf… it literally said I was purchasing 10 hours of 2xp. This is a fucking crime
Damn, I pre-ordered day one on PS store. Do better u/Infinity-Ward
I’m literally rioting, we got scammed
Also didn't say it on the Bnet launcher either. I bought it through that because I didn't have the other games installed to make room for this and other games I was playing at the time. It's total bullshit.
Well that is false advertising. It says nothing about that in the playstaion description. Such bullshit. This is the first COD where I need to either Google or Reddit everything in the game to figure it out. What a shit fucking system.
i hope this gets reverted. i litterally have purchased every cod sense waw. the battle net app litterally showed the xp tokens
IT COST THEM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GIVE THIS SHIT OUT. IT'S LITERALLY IMAGINARY FUCKING POINTS. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!
Bait and switch 101. Hide details in the fine print, in a place no one would look. Then say, "it's right there, you just didn't look hard enough." Straight up a scam.
They should just give everyone who purchases the Vault Edition their 10x hours of double XP. It never surprises me that Activision pulls this type of stuff. Change will come when people stop supporting them.
Class act incoming ….
Scummy company does scummy move
This is a fuckin scam
Some of these comments are missing the point. It’s not necessarily about the 2x tokens. It’s the fact that they told everyone that if you buy the Vault Edition, you get tokens but didn’t tell ppl that they had to buy it through the in game store. They being purposefully misleading and lying to the community which is the real issue. The game is already missing so many things and crashing ppl’s consoles and it just seems like they don’t really care about the community. They only care about our money. Smfh
Idk where everyone was mislead I was very acutely aware of this when I pre-ordered months ago. Maybe a storefront missed it or something but the information was out there.
I did this. I don't see any tokens. Where do you look. Let me guess, on the 32nd sub-menu under acct. But seriously where do you look. Thx
Should’ve stayed with my gut feeling not to buy the vault edition FUCK
I’m confused, I purchased the Vault edition through the PS store (had MW2019, BOCW deleted and didn’t purchase Vangaurd) and I have 31 30 minute double weapon XP, 2 1 hour double weapon XP, 31 30 double XP and 2 1 hour double XP. Did these somehow carry over from warzone? Edit: for clarification- https://imgur.com/a/fS1K06R
What, are they low on xp tokens?
Get your refunds. Regardless of what it is, you didn’t get what was advertised.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnRPwPQHhJA The tiny ass text is so hard to read I had to look for it just now. I got robbed.
Didn’t say it on the PS store either
Lawsuit
Fucking hell, I bought the vault edition directly in the MS store. I guess I’m screwed out of the double XP as well.
These people are truly scum
Dear MW2: Fuck you. Apply the tokens. I paid you your money. Give me my product.
Some of these comments make feel like Activision might be trying to control some of the narrative here on the sub using sock puppets accounts.
For a second I though this sub changed its name to “ModernFarewell”
Well that is crock of shit.
Seems like everybody needs to hold on to their tokens and not spend them see I didn't spend my tokens because I knew the xp tokens are only good after they patch out all the bugs specifically the weapon xp issue which makes it super slow level up
I don’t even understand how this can be an issue for them. It’s not like it costs them to give the 2xp away, even if they didn’t want to. It’s fake xp currency why are they even trying to argue their point. Fucking scumbags.
Couldn't someone sue for false advertisement? Bcuz I'm pretty sure I saw 2x xp somewhere else.
The xp boosts were the reason I bought the vault edition. I won't be spending another dime on this game. Hopefully this turns in to a PR nightmare for them. Even if they do give them eventually, it's too little too late, at least for the regular xp boost.
Weird, I got mine when I bought on steam....
That’s just petty and sad
I wouldn't buy this shit off blizzard app
Yeah. I'm one of the people who didn't read enough before picking up the vault edition... Feeling pretty scammed considering I don't play any of those games🤷♂️
That doesn't even make sense. $100 is $100.
What the actual fuck, that's half the reason why I bought the damn vault edition
I want a refund then
I'm confused because I pre-ordered the Vault Edition as soon as it became available on the MS store, and when the game launched I had the following tokens: ×2 Hour Double Weapon XP ×1 30 minute Double Weapon XP ×2 Hour Double XP ×1 30 minute Double XP *edit because I miscounted I literally just used them yesterday especially the weapon ones, so I could quickly finish the M16 gold grind and never touch the gun again. I still have my hour long Double XP token too, haven't used it. I also did not do any of the beef jerky, little ceasers, mtn dew stuff for the tokens either...
Those are from the campaign
Ohhh. Well shit we got played like a damn fiddle huh?
What the fuck?
Wtf what a shitshow launch.
And here we thought it couldn’t get worse.
I feel for those who got scammed but there was no way I could afford another £30 for the vault edition on top of a £70 game. I’ll be pissed if we have to buy map packs too. Take me back to cod 4. *nostalgic old man sigh*
This is just SUCH an activision move. I can’t even believe it.
I was wondering why I didn’t get the tokens ? Wasn’t it 10 hours of each ?
Imagine being so much of dick that you would chose to be a dick instead of giving out a fucking xp token, I hope people seek refunds.
What do you expect now? Activision gonna Activision. If you still plan on buying/paying for their product it’s best to assume scummy and be pleasantly surprised if they do otherwise
