Anybody else heard the rumours for CoD to become subscription based?
I think i might be moving over to MoH if they make Black Ops sub-based because i'm not forking out 50quid for a game then paying money per month for it.
Thoughts?

I think this is just a rumour and wont actually happen, and if it did most people wouldnt play it
Well i thought it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing would happen,Quote:

I cant see it happening. Yeah the cod addicts would do it but most people would find another game like moh. I dont think it would happen anyway.
As far as I've looked into it, it won't be £50 a month. It'll be more like £2 - £10 charge every month.
He knows nothing. In his own words, Activision control the business decisions and all of that general mockery of helping the game industry.Quote:

he works at infinity ward, so basically any mw games wont be subscription
supposedly sledgehammer games version will.
People are taking this all out of hand, the subscription was originally planned for the action adventure COD game that some third developer is making, I think Paul talked about it on one of the episodes of his podcast. There's next to no point in charging to play MW2 or Black Ops, because I personally think they'd lose a huge percentage of their fanbase
Okay, here goes.
You will not have to Pay to Play MW2 Multiplayer, it was confirmed by Robert Bowling, the Infinity Ward Community Manager - http://www.twitter.com/fourzerotwo
You will not have to Pay to Play Black Ops Multiplayer, it was confirmed by Josh Olin, the TreyArch Community Manager - http://www.twitter.com/jd_2020
As for the action-adventure CoD game that is being made by Sledgehammer Games, you most likely will have to Pay to Play that.
Well done for saying what everyone else has said in this thread
Kotick said it himself he wants one.
It's going to happen.
I'm an idiot for knowing the inevitable? I bet even he knows that a future COD will have subscription based multiplayer.Quote:

I will say this in support of Kotick: Game costs (servers, development time, just in general) are rising. I don't think a sub based MP would fix it.
Not sure.
