Because once upon a time in games like Halo 3 or older call of duties, you could actually unlock the cool cosmetics instead of being a who’s the biggest dumbass with their debit card competition

Yup. A decade ago. When map packs set you back $15 each and made the total cost to actually get all the content $120. And there were still loot boxes starting at BlOps2 on top of that. Now you get (in the case of MW2) two years of support, maps, guns, etc. for $70 and if you want cosmetic bullshit, you can buy it (and know what you’re buying when you do - no loot boxes) but it’s still all cosmetic. And let’s be honest - most of those free cosmetics that you could unlock were crap anyway. One more variation on the dozens of camos already available.
