The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in-game economy system has been detailed by developer Infinity Ward.

　　Earlier this week, we already reported that Modern Warfare won’t feature a lootbox system or any kind of supply drops. In a new blog post, developer Infinity Ward has now provided more details about the game’s in-game economics.

　　Instead of lootboxes, Modern Warfare will receive a Battle Pass system and all function content in the game, including base weapons and attachments, will be unlockable by playing the game. Playing the game will allow players to earn COD points. In order to meet recent game ‘gambling’ regulations, the new Battle Pass System allows players to see the additional content that they will be earning or buying. According to Infinity Ward, Battle Passes will be launch-timed to new, post-launch live seasons but they won’t be available upon the game’s launch next week. The Battle Pass System is slated for a release later this year. No exact date has been provided yet.

　　“Here’s why: First and foremost, we are all focused on making the Day One experience awesome”, the Call of Duty team explains. “Second, it’s important to us that everyone who is playing Modern Warfare has the chance to work their way through the new game and unlock all the rewards that are waiting for you. We expect to launch this system for Modern Warfare later this year.”
