Yes, but Bungie should be strong enough to cope with them. Hopefully Bungie has the integrity to create some actually balanced and fun games, not a pile of money, shit, and explosions.Mcface said:lol..didn't bungie sign with activision?Jzolr0708 said:I don't even like CoD, matter of fact, I sorta hate it, and he's still an ass for doing this.
Heres to Halo Reach stealing all the lovely "subscriptions" from Kotick.
Me too! Remember, the engineer update is drawing near. Time for more free, fun, subscriptionless FPS action!GrinningManiac said:[HEADING=1]HA HA HAAA![/HEADING]
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play TF2!
Nice avatar.Rabid Meese said:This man is 100% right. When I got MW2 as a gift, and while only playing it after being badgered to do so, I look at the spare money in my wallet and say to myself "I just wish there was some way I could ride myself of this wealth". And what do you know, Activision has the solution!
The story and Spec Ops make this game worth the $60 investment, but the Online play SHOULD be extra. I mean, its got so much going for it. Strategic Gameplay, Balance, a Nice Community. PLEASE, take $15 a month so you can keep up such GREAT gameplay!
... *Sarcasometer implodes*
If there going to charge money, make the Single player worth it. Its not. Also, make your game have balance, and make it more about strategy then camping and "OMG I GOT A NOOBTUBE KILL I R LEGIT" style gameplay.
The way I see it, I perfer Halo to CoD. Let em charge for CoD, more players for Halo to absorb.
Also, for Xbox owners, can they infringe on us any further? I mean, the whole "You cant use Party Chat" thing infringes on our rights; those are advertised features for XBL, cant a lawsuit come against them (since they require XBL Gold but take away the right to use part of it). Also; charging for gameplay online? Not only would we have to pay for Gold, but for service from Activision too?
Ive never been fond of the Call of Duty series, the only one I liked was the original MW, and that was mediocre at best. This propose bullshit is what kills the gaming industry, and frankly, Call of Duty, Activision, etc; you can take a flaming rod and shove it up your ass. Make and sell Millions of copies, not enough. Shit loads of half baked but popular DLC's, not enough. So now, charge everyone to play? Bull.Shit.
to be fair the cost of keeping a person on WoW and keeping a person on a FPS is the sameInfernai said:Ok, MMORPG's NEED subscriptions in order to keep developing content and keep servers up etc etc.
...Why would a very popular shooter game with an optional multiplayer mode be in need of a subscription fee? Y-you aren't making Azeroth or anything guys, sure you might release some new weapon or something but thats what downloadable content is for. Subscription fee's with this kind of a game only end in tears...
It would be.... If the FPS has continues content updates, servers actually hosted by the company (Most used 3rd party hosts i.e Valve, or the player hosts (-_-) i.e MW2) and finally if they had to store millions(billions) of character info (yes I know MW has unlocks, but even then they're more Off/On switches (or Local, I dunno)ionveau said:to be fair the cost of keeping a person on WoW and keeping a person on a FPS is the sameInfernai said:Ok, MMORPG's NEED subscriptions in order to keep developing content and keep servers up etc etc.
