Forgive me if I'm a little late to the game here... I tend to skip over Black Ops related news, and a forum search didn't say anything about this.
I was loading up Steam to play a bit of Shogun, and I got offered a free weekend of Black Ops multiplayer, with Steam offering a 33% discount on the full game for the duration. I was a little intrigued, but then I saw the price, and my interest in playing the game melted against the shock.
It's priced on Steam at $100.
I'll admit, I've been out of the loop on buying full retail price for games for a while now... I usually wait for sales. But that's over £60 for a standard, albeit popular, first person shooter.
I looked to see what the game offered, and it didn't mention anything beyond what you'd expect from an FPS. No extra features to warrant the price tag. They even expect you to pay extra for some DLC.
Basically, I'm asking if I've just been out of the new game loop for too long, and this is normal, or if I'm missing something. Not really that interested in buying the game, since FPSs aren't my thing anymore, I was just curious.
