Fantastic changes to the Totem system. This is going to make a lot of people happy.

Short answer : No.
Long “answer” copied and pasted from the article :
“As a note, previous Operation Characters will not be updated to this new Totem approach out of fairness to those who previously earned or purchased them – though they’ll obviously still benefit from our Global XP Rate increases in the latter half of Operation 2.”

It makes me happy and sad. I was going to buy the OP3 bundle but now I’m like…should I just grind the characters? Nah. I should buy it.

$20. Not horrible to get the Queen instantly.
And I guess play Clayton and Cole tomorrow.
Mess up and nerf again though TC, and I’ll not spend another dime.
Not sure how much I’d be willing to spend for Cole and Clayton when one is another melee focused character and we know they aren’t that great for higher difficulty Horde as those with a ranged focus, and Clayton is just a glorified tank with an ultimate to save the team from a wipe for 5 seconds. Another candidate for that filler spot mostly spamming a Tri-Shot to be remotely effective at trying to kill anything if the health mod is active on Insane and up.
But I guess it remains to still be seen how they turn out in practice.

So does Operation 2 end early then?

Agreed. Value is relative.
I’ll spend the money, but fully respect those that don’t.
I won’t again if they make horde nerfs no matter how noble they seem.
No. There will be a brief 5 minute overlap called Operation 2 1/2

Is that all? The end of Operation 2 was said to finish at 19:00 GMT, but now may be at 12:00 midday when Op 3 launches.

Not too fond of the Prestige 30 achievement, now that they’ve tried to fix every meaningful way to get any xp it’ll take months.

2pm gmt is what their post said about the launch time
So nothing about lag, hitbox issues, matchmaking problems, and ranking system. I had my hopes up.

Yeah and I was hoping for news about my Amazon delivery but they failed there too.
I just wanna thank you TC for revamping the totem system! Although the removal of Guardian has significantly lowered my excitement for OP3 and other changes coming to Ranked, the totems were a HUGE issue the community had since they were first released.
All we wanted was a character unlock system similar to Gears of War 3’s, and more or less that’s what you finally gave us! We’ve gone from 4 ridiculous challenges + 60,000 XP per totem, to now only requiring the experience challenge, which is now only 30,000! That’s a huge win for the community and I hope this isn’t overshadowed!
Now… let’s talk about Guardian coming back…

This is definitely a positive change.
Lol I’m in the same boat.
It’s only 15k with boost…but I think I will buy it. Nothing else to spend money on lately 
For me it depends on how nice the skin set is, but cannot deny the value of the 1000 iron and 30 days of boost.
Theres a hot rod Jack skin so I’d assume the weapon set will look like that anyways, not my cup of tea, but I’m still gonna buy it cause it’s a good deal and I want to finish the tour quick
Ah, never mind! I was just worried I’d run out of time for the Op 2 Hives but I did Ice Queen earlier and did The Line just now. Bedtime for me!
