yes, but actually no. those games do have unlocks too as the player progresses. (for example cosmetics, weapons and tools in hll.)

I worded it wrong: you do not have to pay extra for new content that gets added with patches (no need to unlock stuff with money).
In HLL there are cosmetics for soldiers you can buy, to support the developers.
Post Scriptum has a support edition where you can choose to pay more to support the devs.
And I just saw, PS ist at 28€ now, that is a one-time purchase!
To me it is crazy to bring now after premium, which is not a one time purchase, after bringing premium squads that are ridiculously expensive (you can buy AAA games for that money!), after having ingame gold for micro-transaction another form of monetization. I do belief that if “full access” would become a success that they would most likely get rid of gold and premium. Which does not sound to bad. But uhm, I still think it is a “bad” deal compared to other games. I mean 30 bucks per campaign, the first campaign using a shit-ton of reused stuff? Maybe that is why it is so cheap, Pacific Theater costs maybe 50 bucks? While there is no plans to bring “full-access” to other campaigns right now, it is a possibility. So 5 campaigns each 30$ = 150$ and they likely add more campaigns.
Sure there are collectors like you Shiivex that have probably already spent what? Maybe 500-1000$ and everyone who likes to can do this. But yeah with the new “full-access” it feels more of an “Want to play the new campaign, buy it”. That is a big change to me, from being generous making people to play the game and if they get attached, if they really like it, they are able to support it, to you have to pay for it!
Before Enlisted I haven’t spend money for a game for … I don’t even really remember, 10-20 years ago? I had played Heroes and Generals, War Thunder, World of Tanks, Crossout, Contract Wars, Call of Duty Warzone, Team Fortress 2 and Ring of Elysium. Probably more but forgot them. All these games I played for free, I invested zero money in it.
And tbh, I will very likely not financially support Enlisted any longer if they stick to “full-access”. Because they lock players out of content, not just cosmetics, but maps, gameplay and new features. This time it doesn’t feel optional. To me premium with its 2x XP and the battle pass was already a huge advantage over f2p. But in Stalingrad, f2p players have to compete against paying players that get 4-8 times the XP. And get every weapon and troops they unlock nearly maxed out. Why should anyone free to play (or someone like me who has a year of premium and the elite battle pass) play with such a huge disadvantage?
And I belief, this will drive away players, f2p players, but also people that had recently bought gold, premium, elite battle pass and other ingame stuff. On discord I have meet quite some people that are absolutely not okay with this.
I mean the game isn’t even that popular, that is my main problem (as a youtuber) but I fear that it will make the game even more unpopular. I hoped the next content patch brings in more new players, brings back f2p players that had left and makes them stay. But tbh with this change I think it will be the opposite! More people will leave, new players might come back because they didn’t read patch notes, dev blog. Join a couple of matches to try out the new stuff (Stalingrad) and will get roflstomped because in every match they join there is at least a couple of players that are totally maxed out. They rage quit and uninstall the game.
And just to clarify, I worry for the future of the game, because if there is not enough players, it gets boring for the remaining players. It is not like “omg how dare you you suck to ask for money like that bla bla bla” no that is not what I am about. I do totally understand that someone has to pay for the f2p players, because if everyone was f2p the game would be aborted by the devs.

Weren’t you the guy that bought a lot of boosters once custom server was released and gained millions of XP by exploiting the AI? Weren’t you also the guy who changed the text of pretty much all the pages of his Wiki with “this game is not worth my time” and “they are breaking the law” “they suck” and some other stuff like that, because the dev’s had reseted your account because of that?
Aha just searched for you, while looking for the thread
Ah I remembered correctly, thought the thread got deleted, kek:

Frame me again? Not knowing that I stopped receiving any new BP levels till the end of the season?
Yeah, I still not like this game as I first play the game. And anything related to this topic?
Just troll and off topic?
Lets see how this full access pack work once the campaign comes out. Took me a week of grinding in Berlin to unlock drum mag PPSh with premium back when it first came out.
I wish they should’ve made a nation progression system split with early war and late war like Moscow and Stalingrad USSR can boost each other if one of them is on high level or maxed same thing with Axis for Moscow and Tunisia for early war then Normandy and Berlin for late war. That way would atleast address the issue of unlocking the same gun for the same faction in another campaign. Only problem is there are some early wars guns and vehicles that only came out on a much later date e.g. PPSh with box mag only appeared in 1942 onwards.
Western Allies have a separate progression with early and late war so was the potential Japanese on the Pacific in the future.

My WR statistic is no use at all after so many AFK matches.
All due to the “BP task”. Which already make WT become a AFK game.
I didnt even see your post because I press the reply button. And direct jump to the bottom of the topic.
And you directly call me a troll that I didnt even reply to you at all!
What’s in your mind?
While you have none at all.
How’s you jump out of no where and trolling me?
Yeah. I believe it’ll be full of players for like a week and then everyone will leave to play the older stuff.
I mean they’re probably testing for something with this new system so who knows what they might add in future campaigns.
Using PC exclusive games to compare to this is an automatic failure of an attempt to say they’re better. That’s like saying Arma 3 is better even though it’s only for PC, ENLISTED ISN’T PC EXCLUSIVE, stop comparing monetization from HLL and Post scriptum

If you’ve unlocked everything on all of the campaigns already as a f2p, then you’ve gotten hundreds of hours of entertainment for nothing.
And you’re complaining? Without even knowing what exactly it is that’s locked
Yeah, they’re going to paywall some stuff. Yeah, you’ll need to unlock a lot of gear you already had but, it’s a WW2 game. It’s not like all of the countries involved had hundreds of different weapons because they wanted to respect their soldier-conscripts sense of individuality… For the most part, you got issued the same shit as everyone else.
For the paywall-content, I think that this is a better solution to monetization than buying ridiculously overpriced squads over and over. I’m not about to fork over $40 for a squad that I can only use in one campaign that I may not even use because of limited slots. At least on Stalingrad, if I pay I get slots ad infinitum. That, to me, is far more valuable than any of the gear that may be locked.

I just hope they add the new mechanics and features to all the campaigns, it is very strange to have things like different recoil and damage in one campaign and not the others.
