Next COD subscription only

So the rumor around the campfire says according to ign.com

I think this will be very bad for gaming if all the best titles soon decide to become sub only.

What are you going to do? Not pay and miss out?

I believe this is to combat piracy.. as the game will come with 3 months free play. But you have to put in valid card details to authorise your account.

No idea if it will work or not.. i didnt buy the last one anyway but i do think some measure like this are nessesary to combat piracy.

No this is a plan to just milk you of more money.. AND no doubt kill the 2nd hand market.

Problem is there's so much more money in it for them, it's likely they will give it a shot.

Link? The last I heard of this it was just an idea the idiot at Activision had - nothing had seriously been talked about. If they want to charge me on an ongoing basis they can go do one.

I like mw2 online but i dont play it enough to warrant paying a subscription. Would think twice about buying any xbox game that introduces this after paying for live aswell..

I don't play any MMO's but arnt' they subscription? How much to they typically charge per month?

i like the idea of buying a game, playing it, leaving it for a while then getting back into it.

If this is a financial success expect it to all change..
