COD Black Ops Membership Rumor Squashed

You have heard rumor after rumor about a possible subscription fee being in place for COD Black Ops. Even a video has been released as proof. Well, here proof that this is all rumor.

Jordanemery5637d ago

Its a never ending thing with this subject. So many people have been talking about it with the evidence that its true. So I decided to write about this a finally give evidence that its all rumors and that's it.

RockmanII75637d ago

Guys, Acti will never put a fee on CoD with a major Halo game coming out the same year. If anything, I think Acti might charge you to pay $15 to play online but will put a code in every new copy so it only effects people who bought it used.

ReservoirDog3165636d ago

Yup, I think it's gonna happen with the next CoD though.

sonicriderZG85636d ago

Wasn't this already confirmed a looonnggg time ago? I thought we were all passed this by now.

hudsoniscool5636d ago

if they anounce a subscription plan a month after the game comes out i will be so pissed. they keep saying there wont be one and they better not be lieing.

RedDead5636d ago

I think that's against the law, it wouldn't be what you originally paid for. Which is free multiplayer online

finbars755636d ago (Edited 5636d ago )

I agree with you on this one.I think thats excatley what will happen.Think about what would happen to the sales of this game if Activision was going to charge for online.Its going to drive the revenue up now that they said its not going to happen but Activision always has something up there evil sleves and that is why I think they will start charging by the end of the year to pull everyone in and then close there mouths down on all that money.

BX815636d ago

I'm sure they will add a fee not for online but for extras

SpitFireAce855636d ago (Edited 5636d ago )

start with those $15 codes so you can play the MP
part of the game if its a used copy.Or just buy the
game new and pay retail.

BX815636d ago

Yeah I gotta say I purchase about 97% of my games new, unless I'm purchasing it for a second time. I can understand the extra fee included to get online features if you buy it used. I just don't agree with being able to purchase better weapons and equipment then those same players get put into a lobby with people who don't. It messes up the whole balance of the game imo.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex52d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos52d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle4051d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb240d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville239d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer240d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer240d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad239d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.
