A CoD MMO sounds great now, but remember, there won't be any dedicated servers.

I don't think we're talking MMORPG here; probably just a massive online game that you have to pay a couple bucks a month to play. I personally am okay with paying nothing to play Modern Warfare 2.

@Brandon Holmes
I would be okay with paying nothing to play MW2 as well, but that would require someone giving me the game for free

not gonna buy it. done with that company

Cause Bobby Kottick wants more of our hard earned money. Fucking leeches!

@whormongr: You aren't paying to play the game, but to purchase it. Once you buy it, it's yours, no monthly subscription required, unless of course your console of choice is the 360.

Hmm, I'm gonna listen to Makarov on this one.

No.

I would never play a CoD MMO. That sounds horrendous.

@Zeta Crossfire: That sounds great, but it's the players, not the developer standing in the way of something like that happening. I guess it sort of happened in EVE, but I can't see it happening with CoD.

Wow I didn't realize CoD was such a dirty girl. I'm sure Activision will look up from the camera eventually to throw another developer some lube and order them to start double-penetrating holes o_O

so activision when are you gonna maker a game that isnt "call of duty" or "***** hero"?
seeing as you fuckers keep lapping this bullshit up its no time soon

enjoy your yearly shovelware

so...does anyone else think that badcompany 2 looks awesome?

I am waiting for Guitar Duty. Snipe nazis while playing bass.

@AOClaus Hells yeah.

@Sexualchocolate - but isn't MAG purely instance based? Which means that at most times you shouldn't be able to see more than 15 players. The closest game to what he speaks of is probably Arma 2, with an absolutely huge game area and basically unlimited number of players (the player cap is limited only by server resources, and I've seen stable decent-ping servers with 100+ players).

I can't believe it, it's just... damn, my enrish is not that good to express myself here.
What's wrong with you, Jim? Three fucking studios on one franchise is interesting? How come?
Activision is a vampire hooker pregnant with shit and she is selling heroin to kids. Do you know how drug addiction is treated in Serbian churches? The priest takes a fucking shovel and beats the filth out of a junkie. And that's what should be done here. Seriously, modern gaming industry is in desperate need of some holy inquisition.
Do you see what Activion is doing to me? I feel little Hitler awakening inside me.
I've played MW2 and I liked it pretty much, but at the end, I felt like I had enough of that stuff. Infinity Ward needs to move forward and stop making COD games, they need to evolve. I feel like an idiot writing all this and at the same time seeing 'Modern Warfare 2 pulls in $550 million in five days' headline, but uh... These guys have a lot of potential, and if they'll make another COD game they'll just waste it.
The series gained it's popularity with it's cinematic campaign. And now every person is picking up a new COD game for a multiplayer. MW2 is okay, but I don't think it deserves a game of the year title.
If in the future most of AAA games will be like a summer blockbuster movie with a multiplayer, I'll just loose any interest in gaming and I don't want that.
If this industry will rot someday, guys like Activision will be the ones to blame.

Fucking dumb.

Just leave it alone. Please.

SOMEONE FUCKING KILL BOB KOTICK !

Jesus just let the franchise die already. You already ruined guitar based games.

@reindall - MAG Instance based? 15 players at a time? - no sir. 256 players, but only once you get to a higher level. There's a preview on here somewhere.

I'm personally looking forward to "not so taylored" maps, you know on COD where, A is a sniper point, B is a roof you can get onto, C is a hiding in a corner camping spot?

I'm hoping MAG has more realistic maps...

It bugs me playing MW2 where you'll find a nice spot to shoot from, but they've clearly found it during testing and lowered a building to give a counter spot. There are very few places on COD maps where you don't have people coming at you from multiple angles, unless a clearly designed closed alleyway or other camping spot.

Realistic maps + 256 players are my hopes for MAG.

Just make maps realistic!!!

I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Or in this case, you can't teach Activision not to whore out their successful IPs with semi-annual iterations. They're caught in a vicious cycle of having a successful game, and then milking it with as many sequels and spinoffs a year as they can before people get sick of it. They killed Tony Hawk that way, they've almost finished killing Guitar Hero that way, and now they plan on killing Call of Duty that way. Will they ever learn? I think not.

to be fair it'll probably go somewhat like Huxley http://www.huxleygame.com
now i don't mean it'll be exactly like it but just understand what im trying to point out here that it COULD work rather doubtful but to be fair if blizzard are working on it, the story will be decent atleast or it'll simply be a open world fps...
