    Yeah. Seriously. Modern Warfare 3 is going to include a pay-to-play feature where payment is made monthly (like World of Warcraft).

    I really want to know how everyone feels about this. I personally don't like it. Though, I don't play much Call of Duty anymore, anyways.

    EDIT: I feel really dumb. I totally misread the article. Apologies.

    Thats incredibly dumb, especially considering that you already have to pay $10 a month for xbox live. I don't really care that much though because I got tired of the COD games a long time ago.

    I don't see what can make someone take the plunge on this.

    edit: You don't need to subscribe to play multiplayer.

    You don't have to pay the extra to play the multiplayer online. Just for the extra stuff (I would imagine it'd be on dedicated services and other stuff).

    It's still interesting that they'd offer stats and graphs as some kind of premium feature. Being good at COD isn't hard and knowing what works for you is not hard to figure out. These kinds of superfluous features is just Activision grasping at more money and more subscriptions.

    I find it funny that Bungie offers the same thing for free, and the fact that I know plenty of people that will be paying for this.
    Holy Crap I'm old :(

    The only way I'd consider paying for any of this is if they offered a playlist on dedicated servers, and I probably still wouldn't then. If anyone really buys it they have more money than sense.

    The question is, though, would you guys pay to play Call of Duty online? I sure wouldn't.

    I wouldn't pay to play the multiplayer online no. I pay my Xbox Live subscription for that, Call of Duty can suck it if they think people will pay another subscription on top to play it online.

    Plus there's the fact that you shell out on a new iteration in the franchise every couple of years, with slightly browner deserts and more detailed facial hair.

    Personally yeah, I'm looking forward to Battlefield 3 more than MW3. Though Aurther Gies from IGN is right: Battlefield fanboys are almost as bad (if not worse) as Call of Duty fanboys.

    Oh I dunno - I haven't met many Battlefield fanboys in real life, but I've met more CoD fanboys than any other type. And they're the fucking worst - like, super bad. To the point where it's as if I don't want to be called a gamer and associated with those types of people. And they're insanely bias by console, too, which is even worse.
