I got black ops for free and I still got bored of it, as it was basically the same as all the other call of duty games.
They aren't bad, I've just already played them. I'm done with them.

"At last count, all four of the CoD games between 2007-2010 are currently in the top ten on Xbox Live, and they need us to figure out a way to bring those discrete communities together."
I love how they justify this by saying they are entitled to a piece of Xbox Live's pie - Kotick even stated that Microsoft "owed" them money for the COD franchise.
It's not like Microsoft doesn't house the servers THEIR games are playing on themselves or anything - yep, Beachhead, you guys at Activision are doing ALL the work!

I recently discovered the bot mode in Black Ops and I've been having a blast playing with one of my buddies from high school. (Said buddy is the only reason I even own the game, and for PS3 at that!) At the very least, it's a nice break from our monthly-ish session of zombies.
No way I'd ever pay for something like this, though.

Coming soon to COD Elite: paid subscription multiplayer for all future COD titles. Buy your pre-pass now!

There is a TF2 server devoted to the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show. God dammit, the madness is spreading like wildfire.
And I wanna doctor the flames with my adolescent seed to make it grow. <3.

:3 well there's that.
But in all serious, the CoD community is made up of some of the most vulgar, self-absorbed, OCD-ridden pre-pubescent kids AND adults that worship meaningless stat tracking like it really matters. There is no other (oh shit Guile's theme just played as soon as I wrote that last word) way to describe it best like Ice-T describes it: "sure, you can talk about your K/D ratio and brag like it's big shit, but does it get you bitches in the end? Hell no."

@Epix-KxDtoid: At least the community isn't so rapped up in their damn game that they buy out vent servers and only communicate with the 3 other people in their squad, there by making the entire game a barren wasteland of silence to people who just don't put up with that stupid "head up your ass" bullshit.
I am of course talking about Battlefield.

Mr. Sonny should've finished his sentence.
"We have the best online community in the world..."
"...until they stop buying our games and map packs every year. Then? F**k 'em."

I can wait for someone to create the same thing for free like they do with all other games. Battlefield as some crazy free online stat tracking that is way more in depth than the stuff they offer just off the game itself.
Besides the price tag I see no difference.

I think they lost their argument with "cod is the best video game community". I would like to be the one to tell you this Activision, but everyone is telling you, you're dead fucking wrong on this one.
@Epic
i would also throw uncharted 2 on that list... i've never played a multiplayer game with more people just having fun and enjoying the game. its also been pretty damn well supported by naughty dog.

you see this fucking game activision? I don't think you do!
THIS IS COMMUNITY
This is what you will never have in your misbegottn swine of a corperate fatcat life, you sunnaofabitch
Don't you ever make a ignorant statement like that again, Chacko/activision don't care!
best community? are you kidding me? they ever play their own game? maybe they're in party chat...
holy shit, cod is the worst community i've ever played with.

So, the CoD community is being rewarded with a subscription fee? Such a generous gift.
/sarcasm
I know they are a business, but don't they have enough money to let SOMETHING like the premium features be free?

This is a joke.
I've only extensively been in the Team Fortress 2 and Starcraft 2 communities so I can't say they are the greatest player bases in gaming, but they ABSOLUTELY blow any CoD community out of the water. Between all of the TF2 custom maps, the Teamliquid forums, the Day 9 daily, and the genuinely good TF2 machinima CoD doesn't even come close.
CoD isn't a bad game, but with all of the shit it's been doing lately (Elite subscription, shitty E3 demo, slight graphical update), it should seriously consider getting some anal lubricant for what BF3 is about to do to it.

So they're rewarding the ignorant and racist morons who buy anything with even more things to spend their money on? I think Activision are the smartest people in the industry.
@Cryotek
Battlefield didn't give you Dinosaurs, it gave you a cutscene of a guy holding a dinosaur toy so the few Battlefield fans with superiority complexes could masturbate furiously while you looked down from your ivory towers at those lowly CoD players.
@article
no Activision you don't have the best community, you have the largest and that usually means the most assholes per capita. There are good people, they're just the minority. So I guess basically your 'reward' seems justifiable on the whole. Those with a brain will probably skip it.

@garethxxgod: You do realize that Cryotek (I hope he is anyways) and Dice where making fun of what happened on a 4chan comment right. That's what that Dinosaur scene spawned from.
@garethxxgod Battlefield will give us destructible environments, vehicles, large maps/teams and a cutscene of a toy dinosaur. Better?
You really got to hand it to activision theyve reached a level of cognitive dissonance that the average person can only dream of. They've reached the point where they think that charging their customers a monthly fee in addition to the cost of their games is actually a reward
I'd kind of agree there's nothing wrong with a subscription service, but at the same time will there really be anything really worthwhile like DLC or extras especially for the people who do sign up? Usually even when stuff is initially billed as exclusive for a certain group of people (say people who pre-order a game) its eventually released to the general public because Developers know they can make more money that way. Unless they decide to make some sort of special content for subscribers I don't see a whole lot of benefit in this.
Thank you activision for letting me give you more money you are a group of amazing guys you really are.
@Spaz
no I get the joke, I'm just sick of everyone pissing and moaning about CoD and praising the fuck out of Battlefield, when in essence you've basically switched from one military FPS to guess what...another military FPS.
While some things differ they are by and large the same kind of game. Having a preference is great but please shut the fuck up with stupid shit like "ROFL IT HAZ DINOSAURZ"

This service is about as much of a treat as the chocolate covered pretzel Jason Lee pulled out of his ass in Mallrats.
That's basically what cod will be soon. You won't buy the game anymore. You will get elite, download it, and play. It'll have updates like everything else. The catch? The second you stop paying, they take all your shit away.
I hate subscription shit.
