Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 & 2 PlayStation Ports Spark Pricing Concerns

$140 is steep. Fans are worried. The Xbox marketplace already lists Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 at $39.99 each, with pricey DLCs and season passes adding up quickly, and it's likely PlayStation users will face similar costs when the games launch on PS4 and PS5 in July, sparking concerns over Activision's potential pricing strategy for the upcoming ports.

It's pricey. You'll pay a lot. The base games are old, from 2010 and 2012. They've had no updates, it's a key issue for fans. We've seen this before, in a way that's not cool. Fans are upset, feeling the price is too high, especially since the games are over a decade old, with no significant updates or changes, which is worth mentioning, and they're charging $40, which is nasty work, as one Twitter user pointed out, highlighting the lack of DLC and the fact that these games are from Obama's first term, which is a long time ago.

Modern Warfare Strikes Back and Costs Strike Harder

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a hit. It's popular. You'll play it for hours. The Campaign is key. Call of Duty: Black Ops and its sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, were developed by Treyarch, published by Activision, and they're worth mentioning. Originally released in 2010 and 2012, they've been beloved for their Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombie modes, offering a lot of the real feel that fans love, with honesty from the developers about what they've done. The games have been available on Xbox consoles, but now they're getting a crossover to PlayStation, which is a big deal for fans of the series, and it's a key move for the franchise, with the PlayStation ports sparking concerns, for instance, about pricing, which is a major issue for gamers, and we've seen it before with other ports, where the cost can be a problem, it's something to consider when you're thinking about buying the game.

You'll see the original Call of Duty: Black Ops got a solid 8.5/10 from IGN. It's good. The multiplayer is fun. They liked it. The campaign is cinematic too. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 did even better with 9.3/10, for its future setting and refined gameplay, which is worth mentioning, and it's key to their success, with the real feel of the games contributing to their enduring popularity, for sure, with fans still playing them.

Ps5 Users Hit With $40 Upgrade Fee

It's pricey. The cost is high. You'll pay a lot for Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 & 2 on PlayStation, if the Xbox listings are anything to go by, and that's got people upset, with many feeling the cost is too high, for a game they've already played, or owned, with the key issue being the perceived value, it's just not worth it, for some buyers, who are already skeptical about the ports.

• Base Game: $39.99 each
• DLC: $10 each
• Season Pass: $30 each
• Potential Full Package for Both Games: $140

You'll see the anger. It's real. People are upset. One guy says it's "insane" and overpriced. They've got a point, you'll think it's pricey too. With all the DLCs, it should be $20-30, maybe $40-50 tops, that's the real feel. For the Call of Duty: Black Ops ports, Activision needs honesty on the DLC situation, it's key, we've had no clear answers, and that's frustrating, they've just left fans in the dark, which isn't helping with the pricing concerns.

"$40 for games we already purchased (allegedly with no enhancements btw) is an absolute atrocity."
