Crossfire, Planet Side(killed by SoE, not declining interest; same as SWG), Huxley(still in beta, ijji is taking their sweet dam time), Blackshot(NA version killed by the devs after trying to shaft the NA publishers; RIP), and *shudders* Combat Arms. All are or were very popular MMOFPSs that I named off the top of my head, for the PC.Tom Goldman said:I'm wondering exactly what this would mean, though Kotick's comments hint that he wants a persistent world that is still experienced through consoles rather than PCs. You never know, the MMOFPS genre that hasn't typically lit the online PC world on fire could be a perfect fit for the millions of people playing Call of Duty on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

That's the wonderful thing about the internet, you can be vague and say something that doesn't mean much of anything, because no one ever fact checks any more. You could also say "Experts" "Scientists" "A Recent Study" or any number of interchangeable words, you're still talking out of your ass.Tom Goldman said:he thinks "audiences are clamoring for it."
No. Hes just bloody retarded.Irridium said:So he thinks audiences are clamoring and want to pay monthly to play Call of Duty?
Is he high?!
Yeah, new content every month (weapons, solo missions, maps), better statistics, faster patches, tournaments with REAL prizes, or anything else that makes an MMORPG worth the $15/month.Notsomuch said:The only possible way this would make sense is if they added a small subscription, like 4.99-7.99 a month and then offered new content like weapons, updates and maps progressively for free (by which I mean the price of the subscription). So you would actually be paying for something they are offering rather than taking away something they had already offered unless you pay a monthly fee. As it stand a subscription only takes away from what they are already offering which kind of sucks. They've mentioned what they want (the subscription) but they haven't mentioned what, if anything, extra are they going to offer in return. A prescription might increase the quality but online FPS' have for the most part already been able to offer quality online play for only the price of the game and the internet you are using, for years. This currently only makes sense in the context that they want more money from consumers without offering anything that hasn't already been included in the original online play for free, pre-subscription.
What you meant to say, the intelligent fanbase is dwindling, thanks to the removal of dedicated servers. Lets face it, people buy it for PC to avoid the internet scum that plague the console versions, along with . So, on top of the lack of dedicated servers, the few true fans left will throw in the towel if there was a subscription added, who's honestly going to pay for something where you simply get abused for playing? And the company doesn't care about your platform because it doesn't make them trillions on the first day.Johnny Cain said:The fanbase for Call of Duty is already dwindling thanks to the removal of dedicated servers from MW2.
