MW3 is fucked

[bowlcut]

Consumers are used to paying $60 each for videogames that run on consoles. Now the publisher behind the industry's biggest franchise Call of Duty is about to find out whether it can get them to pay a monthly bill, too.

Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game. 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.

To be honest, it sounds like Combat Arms.
You pay for extra (and probably much better) content.
Sounds stupid.

Luckily, the p2p system isn't actually here, it's just an idea.

I saw this a few hours ago, just never bothered posting it until now.

Maybe it'll be something like Bad Company 2's VIP.

Fucked is an understatement. If they start doing this, I'm giving up on CoD as a whole. This could start the beginning of this shit spreading to all other series.

MW3 and BF3 come out 3 days apart? theyre within a week i know that. BF3 will be free to play just to get the disgruntled MW fans, and MW3 will fucking tank. They wont charge the fee just for that reason. my guess is it was to scare hackers into chilling out or something.

Also side note, i highly doubt Blizzard and Activision would work together on that.
