I'd like to believe that console gamers wouldn't pay 2 play CoD, but i know i'd be wrong.

According to the Activision CFO, there is a demand from its core fanbase to pay for additional services.
[/QUOTE]
Oh wow.
Such a lie
What fans of a game would make it from free to play to pay to play?
"Our gamers are telling us there's lots of services and innovation they would like to see that they're not getting yet. From what we see so far, additional content, as well as all the services Blizzard is offering, is that there is demand from the core gamers to pay up for that"
well fuck me gently with a chainsaw...
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;18373866]And nothing of value was lost...[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. Call of Duty series was already balls by the time CoD4 hit. This is going to be the final nail in the coffin.

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;18374474]I bet 1 million dollars that MW2 would be one of the most awesome games ever with dedicated servers, free DLC etc etc, if consoles didn't exist[/QUOTE]
It already IS one of the most awesome games ever on console. Everyone's problem is that the PC version is significantly less awesome.
And DJ Hero isn't milking the cash cow, that game's fucking fun. Really, they're just picking a new lesser-known Konami game to Americanize; this time, instead of Guitar Freaks, Drum Mania, and Karaoke Revolution, they're using Beatmania.
This is stupid activision doesn't even host game servers. They make [B]US[/B] host them because they can't spend their millions on some servers like blizzard can, so they will follow them instead.

We play PC games here.
Blarg, you do know that all servers are controlled by some large hunk of metal in Infinity Ward's base of operations?
Yeah controlled only not hosted. Lag is running amuck and is slowly pissing me off.
If you are on a laggy server, you disconnect like any sane person and play Third Person Cage Match for a while.
Yeah but still.
why don't you just decapitate me activision, go ahead

Really? :smug:
If it cost money on all platforms, no more call of duty for me. Fuck pay per month services for video games. The only one i will ever pay for is Xbox live, and thats because its reasonable for what you get. And Netflix.

A-hem
*points at 360 and PS3 boards*
This is how it goes:
MW2 console > CoD4 console
CoD4 PC > MW2 PC
I'm as angry as everyone else about the latter, especially since I was going to get it on PC, but the console version is an extremely good game and improves on CoD4 quite a bit.
(woo used copies- I get to play the game legitimately without a single penny going to Activision)
I see it now; hundreds of thousands of returned copies, one stared reviews of Amazon, angry protests, boycott of all Activision products, and the eventual assassination of the CEO.
Or maybe IW will just change publishers. Because fuck Activision.
Why do people think they can magically slap a monthly fee on something that didn't have a monthly fee prior and people will just be like "Cool beans thanks a lot, here's my money!".
People will flip a bitch and Activision will either say fuck it or they'll go through with it and fuck themselves in the ass.
It happened with Games for Windows Live
It happened with Time Warner Cable's cap on download limits
It happened with The Pirate Bay
Yet all of these things are still around in one form or another because they didn't go through with subscriptions, or they made it free sometime after making the mistake.

I highly doubt either of these would happen
It looks like the CoD series ate the Salmon Mousse.
To anyone who gets that reference, I applaud you.

[B]We want more money![/B]
Hah, If they're making this P2P like wow I'm going to go join a private server like in wow.
"Our gamers are telling us there's lots of services and innovation they would like to see that they're not getting yet."
Apparently that's saying we want to pay more money to play a better version of the game.....?
