Next Call of Duty to be subscription based?

I remember a greedy Bobby Kotick of Activision saying that he would like to make Call of Duty games subscription based. This quote that I'm not even going to attempt to look up cause im lazy was made shortly before Black Ops came out iirc. Which leads me to believe the next CoD game could possibly contain a subscription like setup.

Personally I would not pay for a subscription based CoD nor purchase it.

I think they might use a subscription fee, and the sad thing is millions of people will still play it. The only way I would ever pay a monthly fee for an FPS is:

1: Very good dedicated servers

2: All bugs, glitches and other stuff patched very quickly

3: New maps, weapons, content continually being released

I'd never pay a monthly fee for something else than an MMO. MMO fees are acceptable, since the game gets bigger over time, so the developers need something for their work, but Call of Duty? LOL. That would just be 100% horrible.

What happened to this then:

At this point you'd have to pay me to even play the game.

free tip for Activision; release a patch for Blops, that requires you to subscribe. easy money. maximize the milking.

Activision would be lucky if they would get me playing a call of duty game , and THEY would pay ME every month.

I would say hell no because that is just plain stupid.

If you enjoy it and are going to play HUNDREDS of hours then I would happily pay a small monthly fee to keep them supporting it.

I can see it at least having some sort of store where you can buy extra stuff and give yourself an advantage.

I don't pay subscriptions for games in general. I also don't participate in games that allow people to pay to get better items on the scale of something like BF Heroes. Black Ops might be the last CoD product I purchase. I hope it comes back to bite them. nutcrackr

Any particular reason...?

Yes if it meant constant maps, more indepth leveling system with constant add ons.. If I enjoy the game I will most likely spend at least 75 hours on it.. And thats a minimum.. Add in a constant updating service.. Than it may be much more.. It all depends what they will give.. They certain won't charge a MMO fee.. Probably like $5 a month.sSubZerOo

I remember a time when COD games focus on the single player...

Their propably gonna try the micro-transaction approach.It has worked wonders for dying mmo's, plus it's the supposedly "civil " way of promoting good competition among mmo's.

All i know is that no matter how good a game is, most people cannot afford more than one sub based game .If this becomes the norm, many sub shooters will start out overhyped to be great, but watch their game subs plummet after the free month is over..and the players go back to the subs they like the most.
