Well, EA hasn't. Microsoft has. There was a Halo 3 subscription service that added more support for saved films, though I rarely heard about it.

Also it lets you store online viewable vidoes. Although none of these features involve gameplay.

Being fair, the middle one wasn't too bad. If they mean official leagues and everything with the bonus DLC. All treated as more of a special edition. I could be happy with that. Not like I'd buy it :lol But there are tons of players who would love something like that

...why are you "being fair"? This is bullshit. Plus don't you Xbox owners already pay for online? Imagine that plus another fee for the games you want to play.

So...does this solidify that Activision is the publisher to hate and EA the one to love?

This is too weird. :lol

EA picking up Brutal Legend (and then Activision suing) sealed that deal for me. EA are alright in my book these days. But god damn, fuck Activision.

So, if I am to get this correct, they want to mask DLC in a new "service" that they will charge monthly for? :lol

That's actually what did it for me. This just helps support my original stance. I may not even purchase Brutal Legend, but I still want original IPs to be supported and the very fact that Activision didn't for the reasons they actually gave was just ridiculous.

i guess rip off micro transactions aren't enough for them anymore they want you to pay for the stuff every month. bet you these dickheads charge 9.99 a month and take even more things out of the game so they can make you feel like you are getting a deal. :lol

I'm still a bit confused.. isn't Activision called Activision Blizzard now? Because they so don't deserve to have the word "Blizzard" in their corporate identity, like at all.

9/10 NeoGAFfers don't understand statistics. The other 3/10 don't care.
For feck sake, I already pay for Xbox live and their stupid map packs.

Damn this is shit. WTF

Craziest one is the 50 bucks per 3 months that only lets you use the maps while the subscription takes place. You can't make this shit up. Fuck its more than WoW a month.

Am i understanding this right - 50$ for a quarterly subscription, meaning 200$ per year just for Call of Duty? :lol

Where do you think their desire for more subscription services has come from? Blizzard is like the lord of subscription-based gaming services.

Combined with Xbox Live is what makes this so painful. 90% of the options should be standard anyway.

I'm not against the idea perse, but not more then 8 a month for MMO-like updates (new weapons, maps, perks, etc).

Deja vu all over again. This is like when Activision was exploring a subscription based service off on Guitar Hero tunes.

Yes one MMO and Blizzard is the lord of subscription-based services.

I let out an audible sigh.

I'm glad no one was around to hear it.

Er, no think you Activision. None of that sounds like anything worth an subscription fee.

I wonder what kind of backlash the PC community would give it. Or the console community if they have to put up with it but PC doesn't...

Seriously, if this happens, then I guess I am not playing this game online I already don't particularly care for MMO games for this very reason, but this decision would really turn me off to any future online games that come out with this subscription service. Then again, it seems like most companies are greedy these days and will milk gamers for everything they are worth. I guess selling millions of games and map packs isn't enough anymore.

I'm very unlikely to go with any of those options. I'm more likely to borrow MW2 from a friend and give it back once I've completed the campaign. If Activision is lucky I'll pick the game up for $30 or so when the GOTY edition comes out.

Maybe this is the reason IW is trying to distance themselves from the COD name with Modern Warfare 2.
