People aren't going to do this. Maybe, MAYBE if it were the original IW behind this game....then MAYBE. If Activision does this it will only hassen the decline of this franchise. You'll look back in 5 years and say "Remeber that one call of duty that they wanted you to pay a monthly fee to play TDM on?"

I dunno Ace. Blizzard is a perfect example. Online play was free for diablos, all the original warcrafts. People bitched at first, now 5million plus pay whatever the fee is per month. Producers may not care about losing core clientele if they are bringing in that much more money.

the difference is that they weren't already paying a premium to play online, as they are for xbl. that is going to create a huge conflict.

Won't matter. The "exclusivity" is what will draw people. You doubt me now, but watch...

Well, they are hiring. Maybe he could help design their new uniforms. With bullseye targets on the back.

Here's the prblem for Activision. You basically pay 9.99 a month to have access to online play for an unlimited amount of games. How do you pay even 1.00 a month to a whole different company to have access to...not even a full game but to a hand full of maps and maybe a new gun?? That **** will not fly.

I'm not saying that you all aren't making excellent points, just that I have a string feeling this is where it's headed.

Also, I loved listening to 187 and Lark bond over rap a couple of days ago. He was about ask Lark out on a date.

Edit: 187: "Oh yeah...can you name all the members of Wu Tang?" LOL

I disagree. Shall we place a wager? $1 to be decided one year from now?

On another note, I've been healing a lot of people lately. We've actually go Firing Range down to a science.
