Pachter: Beachhead will charge for Call of Duty Online.

Michael "Toilet Ghost" Pachter has once again brought up the subject of Call of Duty multiplayer fees, declaring that the newly announced Project Beachhead will "absolutely" charge for online experiences. This man is obsessed with the concept.

"Project Beachhead absolutely is charging for multiplayer," said the analyst. "I'm certain to my core.

"Activision said they are working on 'value added, premium content that is exclusive. How do you exclude people unless you do it on the basis of whether they pay or not?What, are you going to have a bouncer in front of the club where you play the content? The only way it's exclusive is if it excludes non-paying members."

Pachter also shared his vision of how this would go down: "The exclusive content could be pay as you go, or monthly. Let's say Project Beachhead comes up with Call of DutyUniverse, and it launches withModern Warfare 3and they say 'if you join here's all the exclusive content and exclusive weapons and we'll charge you a dollar a piece.' Or If they say, 'for $5 a month you get unlimited weapons and all the map packs we bring out for Modern Warfare in perpetuity,' a lot of people will say, 'I'm going to buy three map packs for 15 dollars anyway, so for $60 a year, I'm getting all the unlimited weapons and achievements,' so they could do that. I don't know if that's what they're going to choose to do. I'd say $5 a month is reasonable, though."

At this rate, I almost want Activision to start charging for Call of Duty just so Michael Pachter can finally get some peace of mind that he was, after several years, finally right about it.

Patcher and CoD Online fees = Al Gore and Manbearpig.

Well at least we know it'll be free. Everytime this guy is certain about something he ends up being wrong.

Project Money Scam that makes even more money than paying for map packs alone and makes you think you paying less than the $15 rip off :P

I already pay for Xbox Live and that is because you have to if you want to play any game online. I can't see myself paying monthly fees in addition to the yearly live charge.

Talking of beachhead, I think the waterheads who would pay for this deserve to get their money taken from them.

There's 25 generic shooters that look exactly like COD. People will move on to something else if they get charged.Parasomniac

Pachter believes this to his core?

Good. It won't happen then. I was worried for a second.

There's 25 shooters that look exactly like CoD, and cost a lot less than CoD, but people still play CoD.

I'm thinking this subscription will be successful for Activision.

I really love playing Call of Duty but i dont think i'll ever play it again if they charge me to play online
