I did not say in my post that this particular reward system is solely what made FortNite successful, I just said that FortNite has a similar reward system and that no one can deny how successful FortNite is. That being said, I am unsure why you, as someone who has already purchased MW5, would be against getting additional rewards for MWO just by playing the game that you have already bought. Furthermore, a reward system like I described would be a good incentive to get primarily PVP players to buy and play the solo / co-op MW5. Finally wouldn't more people buying MW5 and continuing to play MWO be good for PGI and the MW franchise as a whole?

it is a bad idea because it is simply anti consumer. Like you said it would be a way to encourage pvp players to playthrough a pve game they would otherwise have no interest in. All this does is force people to play a game that they don't want to play. It would be a shame for pgi to go from one of the most generous and pro consumer preorders I have seen to something EA would try and pull.

Agreed...

Nothing forces a player to play a game, or to buy it for that matter. Again, a reward system like this would benefit people who have already bought the game, so I do not understand why you are opposed to it. Also, pvp-only players would have a reason to buy MW5 and play it as another way to get free stuff for MWO (again, they are not forced to buy or play MW5). Finally, I do not see how this reward system is in anyway "underhanded" since it does not require that a player be mislead to work.

we are not talking about those but new rewards for playing mwo.
fine if you don't like "forced to play" then we will call it punished for not playing it. again you should not be playing a game because you need to in order to unlock something in another game but because you enjoy it. that's what makes it underhanded. "hey I know we made a game that you don't enjoy but pay us for it and play it anyway if you want x in the game you do enjoy". that is not a healthy gameplay or business model.
again things like if you buy x mech for one game you get it in the other is good. this still rewards you for having both games but in no way punishes you for not.

Businesses have cross-promotions all the time (at least here in the US), where, for example, if you buy two of product X you get one of product y at no charge. Yes what I described in the OP is an incentive for buying an playing MW5, but there is nothing, wrong, or "evil" about it and, as I have said before, buying MW5 does not prevent you from playing MWO as you always have. To me it seems that you buy into the idea that if someone has something that someone else does not, then that is a grievous wrong and that situation should never exist. Really though, anyone has the option of buying MW5, if they don't want to, or can not afford to (like myself at the moment), then they won't get the promotional / bonus / reward items and that is no one else's fault that they can or will not buy MW5 and get the associated rewards for doing so.

I am saying that I personally would not mind getting additional rewards for playing games that I would already play regardless. And yes, this type of reward system would make MWO players, who were not previously interested in buying MW5, more interested. Finally, I get that you vote "NO" on this idea, but I have a problem with your idea that anyone would be "forced" into playing a game they don't want to. Yes, if someone wanted this extra reward, they would have to buy and play MW5, but MC is not necessary to play MWO, so a person would not need to buy or play MW5 in order to continue playing MWO as they always have.
