Total rubbish.
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.
Yep!
+1
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 don't play any MMO's but arnt' they subscription? How much to they typically charge per month?

I only play online but the day it starts charging then I will simply spend my money on another game.
Im sure someone could make a similar game and take a fair share of the 1 billion they made
On a serious note I heard it was just extras that you subscribed for. But even then I wouldnt touch it as it gives advantages to paying players and takes the fun out of the game.
Why would you mess around with such a winning formula when even when its glitched to hell people still play. Cant see it happening myself.
Typically around £8-10 a month, but they are worth it because you get great servers, 24/7 live tech support and massive content patches every few months.
I'd imagine COD would take your money and offer nothing in return.
I dont play mmo's either so certainly wont be buying or subscribing to them online either! We're not talking about mmo's, we're talking about xbox games charging to play online where previously it was free after paying for live. I like online games but its something I dabble in, therefore wouldnt subscribe because I wouldnt play them enough to feel I was getting my monies worth..
It'll probably happen, IW/Activision wouldn't have poured so much time and money into IWNet on the PC if they weren't planning on using it to implement something like this in the future. It also demonstrated to them they can gimp the game as much as they like, and still it will sell in the millions if they whip up enough hype beforehand.
