Modern Warfare Remastered Receives Supply Drops and Microtransactions

4.5
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered’s December update is now rolling out worldwide, bringing six new maps, numerous cosmetic items and female soldiers to Raven Software’s first-person shooter.

However, the update is also introducing a surprising – and in many quarters, unwelcome – addition, in the form of supply drops and microtransactions via Call of Duty Points. It’s worth noting that supply drops contain only cosmetic items at present, and can also be earned with in-game depot credits as well as purchased with real money via COD Points.

Users will also be able to craft many of the items provided in supply drops with Parts, which can be acquired by playing the game’s various modes.

The changes are coming via title update 1.06, which weighs in at 27GB for Xbox One users and approximately 8GB for PC and PS4 players.

Barclay Way to go activision, you ruined the one thing that was keeping your company alive in the eyes of true call of duty fans


You'll live, I enjoy the minor cosmetic/miscellaneous changes within the game. Is all of this truly gamebreaking?Some people need to get off their high horse, I'm honestly glad that I can relive and older game with much support and additions that I'm familiar with now.

We all know Activision screws us over for the sake of profit, but this time around (due to popular demand nonetheless) we get two games in one price (unless it's a digital download). Furthermore, and do correct me if I'm wrong, we get these additions for free!

Don't be quick to say Activision "ruined it", that hasn't happened as of yet. Lets pray that there are no gamebreaking features in the long run. Infinite warfare added the UMP and Intervention, but they are nowhere near as OP as in MW2, so I'm not even worried about weapon additions.

If it's solely for the sake of nostalgia, while I admit that it sucks that we can't have a pure remaster of CoD MW, just relying on nostalgia isn't for everyone. However, Activision keep it true to MW! Since when were swords and shovels commissioned? I'd like complementary additions, not odd things nobody really cares for. Supply drops are fine with me as long as it stays to aesthetics. It usually goes downhill from there.....Lets pray its not the case!


The game was marketed as a remaster not modern warfare 4.5. Cod 4 didn't have microtransactions, female soldiers, Christmas camos etc because it didn't need any of that bullshit, the game was great the way it was. MWR could have been perfect, but this will likely be the start of Activision ruining it like everything else they touch.


Hopefully it wont come to be so. As of now, the additions are favorable to me. As I said before, as long as nothing gamebreaking happens (jet backs, abilities, overpowered weapons, etc.), I will be perfectly fine.

I got some, and it's actually pretty cool. You can unlock camo sets that unlock really cool camos. And the character customization options are really cool too!

As long as there's nothing changed in terms of weapons ability it doesn't bother me

Thought it was going to ruin the game, but the update wasn't too bad i suppose.

Its cosmetics at first then they get way over their heads because nobodies buying IW supply drops so they start adding more crap in MWR drops tempting the players who spend money on drops to buy them. Then all the Activison YouTuber dck riders start doing ridiculous MWR supply drop openings promoting drops to their entire 12 year old fanbase.

Yes I'm mad.

I personally don't see the problem, they are only there for those who want to use them. I personally won't be using any money to purchase them I will just play through the game and earn parts that way. Lets just be grateful they never added the stupid exo-suits and the ability to jump 20 foot in the air.
