Call of duty - pay to play online

Oh_look__it_s_THIS_thread_again.jpg


:p
 
TL:DR (read first few responses and guessed the jist of the rest)

but going on the usual responses to COD games nowadays, I want to say if they made it worthwhile to pay for monthly I would buy.
(having played MW2 and having seen black ops (MW 2 in disguise but with zombies and was released at a different time))

I know it won't be good enough to pay monthly for but since it hasn't been released we can't totally discount the fact activision might stumble on some way to make an online shooter worth paying monthly for.

....Just sayin
 
How much money do activision actually want? Black ops supposodly has brought in over a Billion Dollars in sales and that was back in December. Factor in DLC and its a friggin money printing machine. Yet apparently that isn't enough?

Activision can stick this right up them if true, Kotick apparently wants to build a house out of money....
 
Not surprising since documents from previous CoD releases pointed towards pay to play online. It'd probably be a success given the popularity of the series though personally I doubt I'd play it.
 
A good business idea, with free to play and MMO models being as successful as they on the PC platform was only a matter of time before this happened and we have seen some hints from them already.

Good business idea yeah, but will it soon spawn the death of being able to casually play lots of games, but you can't because someone thought it'd be an awesome idea to have games that never used have a subscription, have one.

Although I can't see all games in the future having it, right now that would be over £100 a month on game subs alone if current costs have anything to say.

I really hope this idea falls flat on it's face.
 
meh people are already paying to play online on the xbox so was only a matter of time before they tried to put thier own fees on top.
 
Am I the only one who bought the last COD from a supermarket for £25 then traded it in after finishing the SP (because the MP was meh) for £29?

loool win, nah I just borrowed it and played the SP then bought an MW2 code for £8, job done :D
 
i'd be willing to pay for this.

Would stop a load of the idiots that pay online and provides an easy mechanism for banning them completely from playing the game. Would make activision a pretty penny every time they banned somebody and with held fees somebody who was cheating in game.

If they did it properly, it could be really good.

If it turns into effectively a rolling subscription for map packs. Not so much.

There will all ways be cheaters/hackers/idiots, subscription or not.

Paying for MP is ludicrous.
