Activision to push to make Call of Duty a pay-to-play franchise.

What do you guys think? I personally think it's a huge fucking insult to the entire video gaming community.. A MMO I can understand, but a twitch shooter FPS? Get fucking real, Activision. I see a quick and brutal death to the Call of Duty franchise if they go forward with this.

Anyway back on topic it's just pure money grabbing if they were to bring out a future COD with a system like this I would avoid like the plague.
On what system are you talking about buying it on?
I'm pretty sure a game as old as CoD2 will not have many people playing it, horrible lag.. and thats if the servers are even still up.
Cheers sorry I meant Modern Warfare 2 :facepalm: sorry but thanks anyway
Ah I see
If your looking for a good war shooter, I personally would recommend Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Very similar to Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2, but it has a much better community, better(larger and more detailed) maps, destructable environments, vast amounts of weapons and vehicles.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is basically MW2's rival
Thank you very much I had considered Bad Company 2 but wasn't sure how big the community was etc.
How similar is it to Battlefield 2?
The community would be about half the size of the MW2 community. With that said, its still a few million players. It's very popular, just shadowed by MW2.
It's similar to BF2, but at the same time it isn't. It's very focused on squad teamwork(You can join a squad of up to four people, ontop of being on your normal team) though you can also lone wolf it and do just fine. It has more vehicles than BF2 did (Excluding planes, they don't have planes in this one) and more guns. It has less people playing at one time and the map is a bit smaller, but it's still way more than MW2 has at a time. One BC2 map = the size of 4 MW2 maps, if not more.
I believe 32 people can play on a server at one time. But that's def. enough as there is always action going on everywhere.
Will take you AGES to reach top rank and unlock everything.. if you buy a new copy, you get 3 map packs for free with a code that comes with every new copy of the game.
Very very fun game... there is a "Vietnam" pack coming in a few months for it too, which will cost money unfortunately, but it looks like it will be a completely new game.
BC2 is probably better imo. Can almost always just pick a level and a game type and join a game instantly. Also team work aspect is pretty cool and you can get points for reviving and restocking people etc not just killing.
As for BF:BC2 I wouldn't say it's CoD's rival, they're really very different. BC2 is much much slower paced, and things like the shooting mechanics make it completely different. Don't get me wrong I love the game but sometimes I just want a bit more CoD style action.
edit: kind of ninja'd
It fucks me off because they could do that so easily, and still have a huge following who buy it anyway even if it was medocre game.
I agree.. if BC2 had the movement and the shooting of CoD it would be a lot better.
