If its free I'll more than likely give it a whirl.

Up before the next TF2 update.
You probably won't even have the opportunity to do so, unless you're in China.

Yep. It's Call of Duty alright.
For a second there I thought the game was made by Trident.

This seems like big news.
it looks like Call of Duty.. I recognized a lot of the online maps from MW1+2+3..
but the way the trailer was cut it also looks like Counterstrike..? confusing..
Because western countries will still buy the $60 version whereas that would never happen in Asia.
Well I would play this, some good nostalgia from older maps.
I see. They also pay more money in F2P games I suppose.

China only? BOO! Why do companies do this i.e. release F2P game for a AAA title for China, Russia and other countries?
I mean I know that they can't afford the games but goddamnit so can't I, and I would love to support the shit outta these F2P titles!
Being that I am in China for the foreseeable future, I would love to play this though I recently found a decent TF2 server to my liking. This is a great move from Activision as this market is pretty much locked up exclusively between versions of CS and a Korean game called Crossfire. EA once again is going to be left behind.

So why can't we get this? =/
I'd rather play for free than spend at least £45 per year (£80 if I want DLC!)

Yeah, free with cash shop would be a much more attractive solution for me for a Call of Duty game. They could rebalance and update a lot more than with yearly iterations too.
Well at least Warface looks pretty damn good.
That's the reason right there.

I'm pretty sure that Activision is testing the waters. As soon as they realize that they can make a ton of money from microtransactions they'll bring it over to the west.

I knew that would come up
I like CoD but I can certainly say that if I found a new MP game of choice for myself that happened to be free, I would not complain if I missed out on CoD anymore.
Unfortunately I own a Mac and so my F2P options are more limited,
and I ain't a fan of TF2 before anyone says
I doubt it'll be 'as soon as', as long they keep selling as many copies of the boxed game and its DLC as they are now, they'll probably continue releasing those. Not going to be easy to top that revenue with a F2P game in the West.

Even though I've been expecting it for quite some time this replacing CoD in the west would be shitty for me. I never play the MP but I enjoy a CoD campaign from time to time (not for 60 though, which is why I've only played them at friends' places).
Crytek seems pretty confident their F2P shooter will be huge everywhere.
Do you really want to hear a Chinese Ghost?
And it may well be, but Modern Warfare 3 sold 6.5 million copies on launch day, in the United States and United Kingdom alone. If Crytek produced something with similar success, they might not be quite as likely to go F2P quite so quickly.
yes?

When you have people paying hundreds for collector's edition and COD:Elite, why should Activision sell it to us for free?
*sigh*
no need, China's fairly cosmopolitan these days. They could always put Chinese subtitles.

With all those classic maps, I'm totally on board unless it plays like shit.

Are you talking about the iQue, right? It was created 'cause Nintendo would make some more money from their N64 games, and they must been in a join venture with a local company to sell it.

This is what I've wanted from COD for the last few years, just all the maps in one game. I'd play this if they put it out in the West
