Consider this a pretty much a rumor until it comes online, but here we go: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/41932/Premium-COD-multiplayer-resurfaces Wait and see....it the PC map packs are being sold instead of being freebies....I'll freak out...

Anything you can make up and pull out of your butt has just as much weight and value as his stupid statements. Why anybody reposts his blather is beyond me.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Activision intends to charge for any element of MP. Companies use Steam because that binds a single licence number to a single player - it is an anti-piracy measure (so don't think you can sell your copy on - you cannot as it will only ever work with the registered Steam name). IIRC additional maps were made available for sale to console owners in the past. Awards

Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that Pay To Play will be enforced, in my opinion they will go down the route of selling addons and limited edition maps etc, I think the multiplayer aspect will always be free but will be "Paid For" addons enabled, I agree that the whole steam thing is an anti piracy measure but is it just coincidence that it's also one of the best gaming content delivery networks too ?

The truth is (unfortunately) the PC Market has become the minority, their making most of their money from consolers, but their willing to dip into any "nitch" of the market they feel they can make money on, and pissing off their consumer base is clearly not in their best interest and I think they learned a lesson with the MW2 issues but only with regard to the PC sector. That is not to say they "won't" try to charge for additional content, but that article clearly points out that they want to focus on making games that have a potential for a "sequel", that would mean that people need to be happy enough with the first game to buy the second. I admit this is only my opinion and I have no data on that, but it looks to me like they just want to sell more games. I think the term "Evil" is often used to much and really what we are talking about is when a corporation loses it's understanding of what it takes to please it's consumer base it tends to get to greedy, and then they are forced to re-evaluate their position. I don't mean to "nerd out" on anybody that's just my opinion. I'll shut up now lol

I mean to say, I do not think they eat puppies and kittens for lunch. But, it is very discouraging to have a game franchise lose focus on what made it great in order to make a few extra bucks. I certainly do not want to begrudge Activision of any potential profit, but when a company is run like a big corporation, the consumer becomes nothing but numbers. Also, Activision has clearly put game development for consoles over that for PC’s. So, the PC versions of these franchise games are stunted due to current console technology. Awards

Yeah I agree with you there 100% on all those points, and I can't think of a better word than "discouraging" to describe it. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt right now and keeping my fingers crossed real tight.

Nothing set in stone here. But, it's crystal-clear that the multiplayer itself will stay free....at least the actual version of the game. If more content comes, like maps or extra weapons, there is CHANCES that they ask money for those ADD-ONS...microtransaction, is what it is...something like an extra 5$ here, a 10$ there...you catch my drift... Who knows..they could come up with something retarded like a *********EXAMPLE HERE********* Nuclear strike streak option + superduper dual-wielding death machines for 5$ on STEAM....and some people WOULD get this....you know what I mean.... As for CHILE, I guess he's a little "afraid" of getting tomahawked, ballistic-knifed or RC-buggy C4'rd...that's why he's staying away from Blackops... Awards
