Call Of Duty: Black Ops 1 & 2 Re-Releases Face Backlash Over Pricing

Activision has released the PlayStation 4 and 5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2, but they've sparked a massive debate regarding their value for money. While these titles are fan favorites, players are frustrated that each game is priced at £35 ($40), making it both games together an expensive investment for content that offers very little in visual or gameplay improvements over the originals. To make matters worse, the DLC packs still cost extra, additional costs and they typically come bundled in modern re-releases. Fans now have to decide if these older titles are worth the sticking point of paying premium prices for minimal upgrades.
