In a move industry executives describe as a first, Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn't offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new "Call of Duty" levels to play.

Ace 3,556 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 it had to come, we pay quite bit of money for the game but this creates extra revenue for design house and publishers.We buy 2 map packs every year, this is just more of the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Wonder how much this will cost per month.Obviously, part of it will be free but they will charge for top rated content. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Fuck paying anything if its gonna be like MW2 or Black ops. These two games online where and are pish. I would pay a few quid a month if it was like COD4 and was worth it. I hope they bring back 3-5-7 kill streaks.UAV, PLANE,HELI. they ruined the last two games by putting far to much in it. Keep it simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Is there an option to pay monthly and do the online part of the game as I don't want to pay for the singleplayer part of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The game will cost what it costs, anything that we currently get for free i.e. online play, we will STILL get for free. The 'Elite' system will provide a way to link players together ... imagine a Facebook for Gamers, from what I have read I beleive the basic system will be free, the matching up with friends, comparing stats, creating clans etc will be free.The additional costs will be for extra things, similar to PlaystationPlus ... no idea what they would be providing for the fee but again, i imagine it would be things like new additonns for your gamer image, extra camoflage ... probably maps too. If you don't pay, you can still play exactly the way you are at the moment. Like most things, it's entirely up to you !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
