Activision will announce its plans for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 DLC "in a month or two," in addition to revealing the pricing structure for the Call of Duty franchise's Elite gaming service.
http://www.videogamer.com/news/modern_warfare_3_dlc_reveal_in_a_month_or_two.html

Not only are they going to tell you about the DLC packs for the game that doesn't come out for six months, but they're also detailing the new subscription model.

Oh, and don't forget about the three different versions we're sure to have at launch, each withholding a varying amount of finished and likely on-disc content.

How much are people willing to pay for the exact same game ever year, and how many times are they willing to pay it?
Denver Broncos: defending champs, 8-6, next game 12/25 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Colorado Rockies: 75-87, missed playoffs
Colorado Avalanche: 11-18-1, next game 12/20 @ Minnesota Wild
Denver Nuggets: 12-16, next game 12/20 @ Los Angeles Clippers
Colorado Mammoth: first game 12/30 @ Buffalo Bandits
Denver Outlaws: defending champs, first game 4/22 @ Charlotte Hounds
Colorado State Rams football: 7-5, next game Idaho Bowl 12/22 vs Idaho Vandals
Colorado State Rams basketball: 8-4, next game 12/22 vs Long Beach State 49ers
Winnipeg Blue Bombers: 11-7, lost West Division Semifinal
Denver Pioneers Lacrosse: first game 1/24 vs Johns Hopkins Blue Jays
#2 Denver Pioneers Hockey: 12-3-3, next game 12/30 @ Providence College Friars

Who the hell would pay a subscription for a goddamn FPS? I can understand a MMO, but a FPS? If the Battlefield series ever went subscription based I would give it up in a heart beat. I love the series but it is not at all worth playing $14 or however much for a month.

Just do like Starcraft II is doing, just release a new expansion every year or so. I'll gladly plop down $60 for that.

FUCK what Starcraft II is doing.

Releasing 1/3 of a game at a time for full price is total horse shit, as is the lack of LAN play.

My bad, thought you were going the route of 'I pirate everything'.

@Fami I agree 100% about the lack of LAN support. My old roommates and I would play SC1 over the LAN almost every night. It makes no sense whatsoever to not include LAN support in any modern game.

And each chapter of SC2 is about as big as the of SC1(minus Broodwar), so whats the problem?

SC1 had 30 missions and Wings of Liberty had total of 29(though some are only reachable as alternates).

I honestly have no problem with it.

One would expect a 2010 release to have more content than a 1998 release in the first place. The fact that the base game of SCII has more content than the original is irrelevant to the point.

To hold out on a sequel for fucking twelve years and then only let you play the campaign for one of the three races is absurd.

Releasing it as three separate games is just yet another in a long line of milking tactics by Activision-Blizzard, and I expect nothing less from them. Remember, these are the same assholes who talked about taking all the cutscenes from SCII and selling them as a "movie".

That is some funny shit, that you would mention them selling the cut scenes as a movie because I just lost this auction.

I imagine you'll blast me for being one of those idiots that would buy such a thing, cause really, who would buy cut scenes on a DVD? I realize how retarded that sounds. To be honest I'd probably never cockgobble it, it would just be something cool to have. And knowing what it is, I think that spending $13(my bid w/shipping) is high but I don't mind. Hell I paid close to $50 for a rare copy of Homeworld just for the special sound track disc that came with it. It's why I spent $125 or however much on the collectors edition of SC2, and $90 on the Duke Nukem Balls of Steel edition. It's just something cool to have. All that said, I would never spend full retail on a collection of cut scenes. Also my budget is larger then the average gamers, so I can afford to waste money on frivolous shit lol

All that said, if they would come out with a full length Starcraft movie with the same quality as the cutscenes, I'd be all over that.

Keep in mind that the main draw to SC is the multi player aspect, not the single player. You can(obviously) play all three races in the multiplayer. Even in single player you can play as the Protoss, so it's not a complete Terran fest. And to go further a lot of the units in single player are not in multiplayer.

The content of the first chapter is satisfying, and it almost feels like you've played a complete game. Your right, after 12 years it obviously will have more content, and it does.

I will not argue at all that they are milking it for all it's worth. The flipside is that they invested a lot of time, effort and cash in it, so I feel they deserve to make money off of it as long as what they are producing is worth it. I honestly feel that what I pay for SC is worth it, and really, that's what matters.

Lets see if Duke Nukem gets the same praise that SCII got when it comes out. Yeah totally different games, but just as passionate fans.

Aside from every single release being standalone games with hours upon hours of content. If they had renamed Wings of Liberty to simply Starcraft II and marketed the other two games as expansions, no one would have any problems with it.

Again, I am of the opinion that withholding the Protoss and Zerg campaigns was a douchey milkage tool. I didn't wait twelve years just to play the Terran campaign.

They should have allowed you to play as all three in the base game and then added content expansions as necessary.

Woah, time out.

I only purchased MW2. That's all I bought from the entire Call of Duty series

And well yeah, I'd buy it if all my irl friends buy it. Sure it would be an inferior game but i'd still have fun with it with my boys. I just wouldn't buy any map packs, or pay a cent extra in any way :>

I also didn't buy anything extra with MW2 :>

I couldn't give two fucks about SCII. Blizzard KNEW they could milk the shit out of SC fans and did so. It is disgraceful... and I was such a big SC fan.
