I won't be picking up COD5 anyway, but if I had thought about it they are out the window if "monetising" goes beyond EXP points.
I wonder if there'll be as much an outcry about that as the Battlefield guns thing.

Call of Duty 6 not coming until 2010, more DLC to make up for it
It’s no secret that Activision Blizzard has gained something of a fondness for milking its core franchises for every cent they’re worth -- yearly iterations have become the name of the game. That makes it somewhat surprising, then, that they’ve decided to give the Call of Duty series a year off. I guess that means that Prestige Mode won’t be all that prestigious anymore, eh? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I just hope it takes place during the late 1800s where unsavory roustabouts were dealt a very harsh thrashing by the local constable. How long until i see this in my mailbox "Increase your gamerscore by 1 decimal place, really works!" Thats just screwed up, I didn't even participate in COD4's prestige BS. I'm just not a sucker for that kind of stuff. I'm still at the first prestige level to this day. A stupid little icon means nothing to me.
I won't be picking up COD5 anyway, but if I had thought about it they are out the window if "monetising" goes beyond EXP points. Did anyone else feel a moment of amazement when they read 2010 and then shrugged it off as being just over a year away? "The future" is obviously very relative but saying "twenty ten" just feels like the very words are plated in shiny chrome and peppered with pointless neon lights. Lame. Allowing people to buy all those perks and weapon upgrades from the outset will give them an advantage over normal players. This is worse than what EA was doing with guns.
I wonder if there'll be as much an outcry about that as the Battlefield guns thing. @MrSadistic I am with you on the retro- I would actually like to see a call of duty during the American revolution or the WW1 campaigns, though you would prolly need to be the Belgians or the brits, if you played the US it would be a lot of running into clouds of mustard gas and dying Capn Birdseye: But it's not is it? The only people calling it CoD5 are the press. Activision or Treyarch always say CoD:World at War. So that would mean this one developed by Infinity Ward is CoD5 not 6. 1:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Diablo III celebrates its one-year anniversaryWell, it's been a series of ups and downs (that could have all been avoided if the Auction House was taken down), but Diablo III is now one year old.
