I'm not huge on MW games. They'll have a place in my library as I like warfare shooters, but they're discussing charging a fee for an add on MW subscription service that allows access to stuff not offered in just the disc. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100...0423496054.html?mod=WSJ_Tech_RightMostPopular They're well within their rights, but I hope this blows up in their faces..big time. I hate when stand alone games try to nickle and dime us (see Madden and their upgrade features). It's a ****ty practice on their part, and i'm hoping for a huge backlash....
Who cares... if people want it, they will buy it. If they don't want to buy it, then they won't. I personally don't intend on "upgrading" to the Call of Duty Plus or whatever they wanna call it, but more power to others if they wish to spend the $5 a month to do so. Why complain about something you have no intentions of purchasing?
Not complaining, I just think it's a really bad move on their part.....particularly in the case of this franchise. They pushed the original developers out, and it's facing mounting criticism for being a grinding out cash cow. This could lead to cementing that status in a lot of peoples heads. I don't see this sitting well with the MW faithful. Like I said, they can do it, and more power to them. I just think they're getting very close to raping the franchise to death..and I hate to see that happen to a good franchise. Too much of anything isn't good.
If it were a fee to actually play their online multiplayer, then I would say it's a bad move. However it's just a way to "upgrade" so to speak so I don't see it that way. Just IMO.
Yea, NCAA 12 (well EA) is doing something similar I believe with their website and game interaction. I'll likely pay the couple bucks extra for the extra features in that game, but not COD. It helps I'm only paying $48 too though.
I loved bungie.net when I was competitively playing halo 2 and 3, so I could definitely see the appeal of a site dedicated similarly for CoD.
I guess you can register to be apart of the BETA testing later this summer. I don't know how they select their testers, but you can at least register. http://www.callofduty.com/elite
Couldn't be any less enthused by this game. Disliked MW2 online play, and COD4 is now overrun with hackers. At least Bungie maintains their games at a high level.
Hmmm....I certainly don't like the idea of getting nickel and dimed, but if the content was worthwhile I'd consider paying. Will this apply to all CoD games?
I actually think it's a good thing if it applies to all CoD games, not a bad thing. I don't want to sign up for a monthly fee if the service is only good for one game.
Well, the free version of Elite will be dumbed down, sure. But CoD multiplayer apparently won’t be affected.
