I've played it since release and still haven't got a nuke. My max killstreak is about 28, but that was only the one time, and I didn't set the nuke in that game
I've given up on getting it tbh, I don't enjoy it if I'm actively trying to get it, and the things like noob tubes and campers only annoy me much more than they already do.
It's predicted that Activision are asking for a subscription fee when playing Call of Duty games online. No, I'm not talking about some MMO kind of COD game, I'm talking about each game.
Activision will charge gamers to play first-person shooter behemoth Call of Duty online by the end of the year, analyst Michael Pachter has predicted.
"Unless and until the publishers come up with a business model that appropriately captures the value created by the multiplayer experience," the gaming clairvoyant told Industry Gamers, "we are destined to see a migration of game playing away from packaged goods purchases and toward multiplayer online.
"While the shift has been great for consumers, who are enjoying an unprecedented, and largely free, game experience, it has been devastating for publishers and shareholders, who are seeing sales and profits decline.
"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetisation of multiplayer. It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, microtransaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty: Black Ops launches."
If they do, and it is still an if at this stage, then you can kiss my interest in the series goodbye. Seriously though at £55 RRP for the game (not that anyone pays that) along with a potential £10 increase due to every map pack sold and you're already looking at £75 for the year out of each consumer (assuming there's no more map packs on the way). Then they can start again a year later when the yearly sequel is released. Not to mention this hefty exclusivity fee paid out by Microsoft to keep their DLC a timed exclusive.
It'd be a joke if MW2's online service was subscription fee based! Think of how much support's gone into fixing the game. None, they haven't sorted out One Man Army noob tubers or boosters despite the fact that nobody likes them. And they've done little to add to the game other than overpriced maps. No new weapons, or Spec Op missions, which is hugely disappointing. The only way you could ever justify that business model is if they continually add and build to the multiplayer side of things like new weapons, maps etc But it's Activision, so of course they won't. What would be the point if there's going to be a sequel at the same time next year?
The only good thing I can see about it is that it would turn away the kids from playing the game, but is your love of COD that strong that you'd pay for it when there are so many other competitors out there doing the exact same for free?
