Can't say I'm shocked. I'd like to say that people aren't stupid enough to make this a success, but I've been wrong with that assumption too many times.
Call of Duty to get WoW-Like Subscriptions?

Well hopefully the Modern Warfare 3 boycott goes better then if Activision doesn't give their collective heads a shake and realize this is a terrible idea. At least with WoW you actually get something for your money. Unless he is simply talking about map packs and DLC?
Agreed. Really, pirating the game is telling them that a pay to play system is the ONLY way to go because its the only way to guarantee revenue (unless you have a private server system like the ones that have sprung up for WoW, but they get shut down regularly and are very laggy). The best way to send them a message is just not buy their product at all.Slycne said:

Prices get raised and it still becomes the best selling game ever released. There's a very high chance that next month DLC will be released to "finish" the single player. And, well, I can't blame them for doing this since people have shown that they're willing to pay for anything at this point.
That's pretty crazy. I mean I don't think anybody likes CoD that much. It is close to madness when you consider that there are a lot of other FPSs in the market that do not require a subscription.
I think even WoW would have a hard time if it was the only MMO to have subscriptions. It only survives because all of the other MMOs are playing by the same rules (except Guild Wars of course).

I am not for the life of me going to play multiplayer on a handful of maps with people I dont like. You pay for MMOs because thats the entire game. You have constant updates and you get random extra goodies now and again because your paying for that huge fee. With an fps like this you just dont have enough there unless you are planning to release huge amounts of maps with a large variety of vehicles and turn it into a completely different game. I havnt played MW2 so I could be horribly mistaken but seriously their a bunch of money grubbing devils and from their evil it will be easier for other companies to do the same thing.
Gaaaaaaah.
Clearly he doesn't play games or he'd know that CoD is in no way similar to an MMO. Besides, people may be silly enough to just pay for Live without question, but I doubt they'd ever pay two fees, no matter the game. Actually, I doubt most would pay the extra fee. Some people are just born stupid.
What a fucking dipshit, when are they going to get gamers to actually manage that company?

I am not sure if COD5 is the same as MW2, but I guess it is. If it's not, then ignore what I say hereEmphraim said:
You see, when they release the next CoD where you have to pay for online, you cannot go back to MW2 and play that online. Why? Every server in that game is run by IW through IWNet. Which means they can cut of the online part of that game as soon as the new one hits the shelves. Of course, that would be the biggest dick move in the history of dick moves. Would Activision make that happen? Seeing how they have done so far, I'll say... hell yeah.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again. IW/Activision will not get money from me ever again. Bunch of wankers all of them.
Oh fucking hell no. the difference with WoW is that you keep getting updates and extra content for your 10 bucks a month. What the hell could you add in CoD which is of the sort? Maps? More freaking guns?
EA does that every year when the new Madden comes out, so that would probably happen.Jaqen Hghar said:I am not sure if COD5 is the same as MW2, but I guess it is. If it's not, then ignore what I say hereEmphraim said:
