Activision exploring an MMO-style service for Call of Duty photo

According to a mysterious survey making the rounds, Activision is considering creating an online service that would bring timed exclusive content, as well as premium extras, to the multiplayer side of the Call of Duty franchise.

The survey -- of which we can’t verify its validity, but certainly felt interesting enough to pass on -- specifically mentions that the supposed service would “enhance the multiplayer experience and provide exclusive access to a group of gameplay enhancements.” This includes early access to expansions and betas, and exclusive access to character skins, enhanced stat tracking, game modes and even “support for competitive play.”

The service may come with a monthly fee attached to it or may come bundled with a copy of Call of Duty for a flat rate. The monthly fee idea is especially interesting: in March, Activision’s Bobby Kotick hinted at the possibility of a Call of Duty MMO.

"...when you think about other properties that we own and control, like Call of Duty, and what would be the natural evolution of a property like Call of Duty into a massively multiplayer environment, and how do you monetize that," Kotick stated at the Morgan Stanley Technical Conference three billion Internet years ago.

Well, this theoretical online shell -- not quite an MMO -- is certainly one way Activision could suck more rabid fan coin.

I absolutely love call of duty (all of them) but I would rather not have it go MMO. Usually I play games while taking a break from working at home so I need call of duty dangit!

Monthly fees totally suck for anything that's not necessary to life itself! Ok, dramatic but heartfelt. If I want a game, I'll go to the store and buy it, period. How difficult do you want it to be? freight forwarder

There's another option, you know - micropayments.

Younger folks usually don't see the need for life assurance because they reckon that they will still be living for many years, and so they'll just be paying so much for essentially nothing. But, there is a type of cover that you can get for a certain duration of time, or term. It's called term life indemnity. It allows you to be covered during a set time period. This is a great plan if you are about to start a family. You<a href="http://www.southcoastmortgagebrokers.co.uk/">mortgage brokers Southampton</a> mortgage<a href="http://www.fastremortgagesuk.co.uk/secured-loans/">secured loan quotes</a>
can get cover until the time that your kids will have left home, so if something occurs to you and you die before your family are grown up, there can be a life indemnity document in place that helps to take care of them if you do die.

You ought to absolutely compare and investigate different assurance companies. it is a lot easier to do so nowadays with the web. You can go online and look around and compare. There's even websites that will help you to compare some of the top companies that are offering life cover that can fit your specific situation. Make you that you look at the payouts, the rates, and other such options, instead of just looking at the indemnity policy as a whole.

More fees for playing is not that good of a sign for gamers everywhere. I guess this theoretical online shell could really make Activision get more rabid fan coin.
