how so ??? microtransaction is the fastest most profitable business model in the VG market today
and how is it MS... since when Crytek is an MS studio ????
this model will be quite usual on all consoles sooner than later....

Miscrosoft are publishing the game, they also paid crytek for it to be exclusive, meaning they get to make all the big decisions.
In a game where the big multiplayer interaction is focused on customiation, weapons , armor and such paying to win will cause people to play the game less or to not buy it.

but you don't pay to win you pay to go faster..... I really don't see your point.... people who don't want to pay, just play as usual and the one that want to go faster and don't mind paying just pay.... nobody has an advantage over the other beside time maybe.... and you don't play against each other so I don't see what's the issue here.... it evens gives you the adavantage if you play with a paying player since he will have good gear and you will be able to beneficiate from the boost being able to take on harder waves...
bitching against micro transaction just because you don't like the word is stupid.... there is many ways to implement it and some of them are better for the player....

First of all we do not know all the details, like how much time it would take to unlock things without microtransactions, or if some items will only be available by paying.
I play lol and dota 2, games supported by microstranasactions. Microtransactions aren't made for the player they are made to get more money from customers. They DO NOT belong in a non f2p game.
