Still find it amusing, that everyone blames Konami only. The FOB system itself is stupid, and that is made by the game's developer. 

Perhaps developers could have had a better shoehorned multiplayer if they had mroe time.

Maybe, but the cost for extending the development would've been even bigger than it is.

Crap I didn't actually explain this in my other reply. That's not how development costs actually work. They are increased when more money is spent. Granted, (in a sense) money is lost until production. But considering the fact that they created the Fox Engine for/with this game. The loss from rushing the game, which we know they did (see Kojima Fall-out), would be tantamount to making the engine look bad, which is (theoretically) a lot worse than having a single entry cost more money.

If it wasn't for #KonamiGate, releasing TPP this early would make no sense, GZ released last year, with only one map of this game completed mind you. Its likely that the other maps where already indev when GZ was released but even then.

Plus other than the fox engine itself, which I already explained would warrant the higher dev cost, we don't have that much evidence for that assertion, however it is very likely that the game was rushed by what we do know.

 

A good example would be Destiny, its not an engine, but the mentality is the same, a lot of money was spent on it, more than reasonable for a AAA budget at its time, but its apparanetly planned for 10 years, which should be enough to make its money back.
