The Seasonal Battle Pass of Call of Duty for Season 5 has been launched with contents that are sure enough to cause a grimace on even the face of a veteran gamer. Leading this season is Lawrence Sims, who has brought 10 new operator skins, two new weapons, up to 24 weapon blueprints, and some wacky GobbleGums (yes, seriously). But, while this looks like an absolute derrick of content, how did the community receive it? Well, to put it mildly, it wasn’t all sunshine and headshots.
First and foremost, let’s study this more closely. Sims was in full glare, all set to created havoc in a battlefield, appearing somewhat as if he had crawled out of a cyberpunk fever dream. Those ten operator skins run the gamut from tactical to downright ridiculous, which, it seems, is the tone for this batch. The weapons are two new additions that will probably be meta of the week and a lot of blueprints for those who love to customize their loadouts. Oh, and GobbleGums? Yeah, they’re back, so why not throw some nostalgic tokens from Zombies mode?
Now, we are getting spicy. The reply section of the tweet announcement is all over the place. There are players acting hyped with GiggyWheat5 throwing a cryptic “You cooked 🔥” for no apparent reason. Contrary to the hype is WarlordGamingX, giving backlash: “Non je prĂ©fère garder mon argent pour BF6”, translated as “Nah, I’d rather save my money for Battlefield 6“—that really hits hard. CraigyBaby82’s attitude is even worse: he’s just outrightly saying that he’s skipping this season in order to save up for MW4. Real disrespect.
And then there’s the confusion. User wai740555 called out for an erroneous link in the tweet, “What are u fuck doing?” while others continued joking about the Battle Pass looking “gay as hell,” (thanks JimThom81363439). On the other hand, Duffy_BTNH laid it down, calling himself the first person not buying the BP, “lame as fuck.” Harsh but arguably fair.
The zombies crowd is still wondering when perks will show up, with rjbeasterw98 saying: “All these shit and no fucking new zombies perks fuck this games.” Preach, brother. Let’s not forget about the players, who were just done, like dnw72, admitting that watching streamers getting hacked is the only joy they have in CoD right now. Yikes.
But there is hope for those loving the game, like Wukongpox, with the only exception being the dragon’s breath shotgun, which they called “gay,” and not in a good way. After that, Ghosts 71 has moved on to Ready or Not but, somehow, almost laughingly, remains a huge fan of the “goofy bundles” for CoD. How strange.
So, what’s the final verdict? Season 5’s Battle Pass is really bundled. Depending on who you ask, it might be worth a dime or not. If flashy and grossly funny cosmetics with a few GobbleGums here and there sounds appealing to you, then this Battle Pass should be your next treat. If, however, you’re still holding out for those zombie updates or just dying to have more fun without endless grinding, then maybe the bulk of your currency will sit better with Battlefield 6. Either way, the wild ride is just beginning.
