Activision CEO, Bobby Kotick talks candidly about a subscription-based online world for Call of Duty...
Are CoD subscriptions a potential rip-off or an exciting prospect?
Activision has been hinting heavily towards MMO-style, online subscriptions for its Call of Duty franchise over the last year or so, but now the company's CEO and President, Bobby Kotick has spoken more candidly on the issue than ever before.
In response to a question from the Wall Street Journal about what single change he would make to Activision if he could just snap his fingers to make it happen, Kotick responded:
"I would have Call of Duty be an online subscription service tomorrow. When you think about what the audience's interests are and how you could really satisfy bigger audiences with more inspired, creative opportunities, I would love to see us have an online Call of Duty world. I think our players would just have so much of a more compelling experience."
When pushed as to whether this subscription service will be coming to the CoD series, Kotick replied, "Hopefully", before going on to explain why he thinks Call of Duty players will welcome it:
"I think our audiences are clamouring for it. If you look at what they're playing on Xbox Live today, we've had 1.7 billion hours of multiplayer play on Live. I think we could do a lot more to really satisfy the interests of the customers. I think we could create so many things, and make the game even more fun to play. We haven't really had a chance to do that yet, so that would be my snap of the fingers."
Do you want the service? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below...

well if you want to take the route of piracy especially on the ps3 with a jailbroken ps3 take note sony is suing everyone who has jailbroken there ps3's and seizing all there computing hardware (dont think this is true geohot has had all his computer hardware taken and everyone who has downloaded the jailbreak from his site and all visitors to his twitter, facebook, youtube and website sony has now aquired access to there ip address information which they can trace everything they have been doing such as downloading games ect from torrent sites, be affraid people if youve downloaded illegal games for the ps3 sony are on to you).

I would never pay for a game then need to pay to play the game. If they are looking for more money from the game then sell the add ons.
