[TDS] Squad - Wars

 |
Over the last few days various rumours have come out about playing Call of Duty in the future and a possible move toward a pay per month subscription model. Scary news admittedly, and probably a change that would mean many, if not all of the squad being forced to make a massive decision and most likely avoid that release of COD like the plague.
However, Activision, Treyarch and Infinity Ward have all rubbished rumours of a subscription to play Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, reports CVG on their site today.
Activision's Dam Amrich was the first one to sound off on the rumours, which were sparked by the emergence of a video on CVG's site. Video can be found here - http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=256187.
"MW2 subscriptions? Nope," he says. "There's a video that made the rounds today of a 360 player getting a glitchy, incomplete message that uses the phrase "Modern Warfare 2" and half of the word membership."
"This video shows just a glitch - since you can access a Live subscription renewal from within the MW2 game interface, it appears some data got jammed between two parts of Live. It's not a secret portal to some nefarious plot to charge people for COD multiplayer - and there are no plans to do that" explained Amrich.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling also said "nobody has to pay to play COD or MW2 multiplayer, nor will they" in a tweet while Treyarch's community manager joined in with a tweet of his own, saying "No, you will not have to 'Pay to Play'".
In fairness, it's Bobby Kotick's desire for a pay-to-play model that gave the rumours weight in the first place but it seems that we're safe. For now........
