People are saying that it's going to be a paid subscription on the side with dedi servers and all kind's of other stuff.

gamingdroid4708d ago

What is Elite anyhow?

I don't think I have heard of it....

Anyhow, if it is some sort of add-on who cares if it is paid or not. Subscribe/Buy if you want or not.

Catatafish4708d ago

I laugh if this is real and I laugh again at anyone that goes along for the ride.

Welshy4707d ago

playing COD is bad enough, but PAYING for it??

Gamer_Z4708d ago

So it begins... Will people pay to play?

Kon4708d ago

If they pay to play WoW i don't see why they won't.

Jezuz4708d ago

WoW is an MMORPG. COD is an FPS. I don't think it would suite.

evrfighter14708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

LOL really kon?

cod offers the same amount of content, updates, and scale as WoW?

cod kids...so entertaining, anything to justify Kotick violating them from the rear.

Catatafish4708d ago

One problem is that kids don't pay to play WoW, Adults do... I don't know how hitting on mom every month for more money to play a game she just bought you will go and then there is the 2 DLC packs as well.

Beahmscream4708d ago

@Gamer, yes. The Sheeple will

Soldierone4708d ago

So the deciding factor on rather or not COD will die will be coming out shortly. The idea to pay to play is just stupid.

Jack-H4708d ago

Yep, I completely agree. Not a "COD hater" or anything. But, this definitely makes the decision easier for me personally.

Statix4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

If pay-to-play is so far-fetched and stupid, then millions of Xbox Live and WoW/MMO subscribers are short a chromosome or two.

S_C4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

@Statix
You Still Dont Get It With Xbox Live , yes you pay to play online but u also get features like sky player : watch sky sport live etc for free where as if you bought a mutliroom box it would cost you £10 a month which is 120 quid a year so my live subscriptions more than covers that just on its own without all the other things it provides.

On topic would i buy COD without pay to play yes......would i buy COD with pay to play - NO! (if they did this they will shoot themselves and the cod series in the foot striaght away) everybody will just flock to BF3 and EA will be straight on the advertisment bandwagon promoting their free online game.

If they implement this feature say goodbye to COD

superrey194707d ago

@Statix

The difference is that MMOs are continuously updated with new content and quests. What can they add to cod that that would keep the aforementioned model AND not step on DLC packs' toes?

As for xbox live, well, I'm not gonna comment on that since I don't use it.

DarkFantasy4708d ago

I'm not paying to play cod,i think the game is kinda fun but it's not worth a subscription.idk this doesn't sound good what ever it is,i was going to get mw3 but if there's a paid subscription even if its optional I'm not getting it.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac7d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher21d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris21d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera20d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii20d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts20d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX20d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos21d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast21d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
