Call of Duty Pricing Error Behind Near Record-High Bundle Cost

-

Have you seen the price tags lately? Weapon skins and other in-game cosmetics are getting pricier by the minute. Just the other day, Call of Duty fans were left scratching their heads. They were staring down the barrel of a $34 price tag for the Gassed Up Weapon Vault Bundle. That’s 3400 COD points, folks.

But wait, there’s a twist. Activision did an oopsie. They yanked the bundle from Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone faster than you can say “refund.” Why? A so-called “pricing error.” Yeah, right.

Here’s the tea from a tweet: The Gassed Up Weapon Vault Bundle got the boot from the Store. Why? Oops, wrong price tag. It was meant to be 2400 COD points, not 3400. If you splurged on it, don’t sweat it. You’ll get your 1000 COD points back. Promise. – Call of Duty Updates (@CODUpdates) February 19, 2024.

So, the bundle was supposed to be cheaper. Historically, Vault bundles hovered around the 2400 COD point mark. Some eagle-eyed X users claim they saw the 3400 price before it got slashed. But hey, leaks are leaks. Grain of salt, anyone?

Now, onto something completely different. Ever tried watching a video and your browser just nopes out? “Please use an HTML5 video capable browser,” it says. Or worse, “This video has an invalid file format.” And don’t get me started on the “Sorry, but you can’t access this content!” line. Ugh.

Oh, and they want your DOB. Why? To watch a video. Enter your details, agree to the terms, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get to see what you clicked on. Now Playing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Everything to Know.

But here’s something actually useful. Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 got an update. We’re talking balance changes, quality-of-life tweaks, the works. For instance, they tinkered with the Longbow sniper rifle. Less ADS time, more hip fire spread reduction. The Striker 9? Faster bullets, less kick.

And for the zombie fans? Treyarch dropped some news in a recent call. Don’t hold your breath for new enemy types or perks in Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode. Yeah, a bit of a bummer.

So, there you have it. A rollercoaster of updates, errors, and the occasional video playback drama. Just another day in the gaming world, folks.
