Following up from the rumors surrounding the new studio "Project Beachhead", there now seems to be a paid subscription fee coming.
A couple of days ago, Activision announced the establishment of this new studio but didn't go into too much detail. Well now Wedbush Securities video game industry analyst Michael Pachter, says that you will indeed be paying to play future Call of Duties.

"Project Beachhead absolutely is charging for multiplayer," Pachter said. "I'm certain to my core."
"Activision said they are working on 'value added, premium content that is exclusive,'" Pachter said. "How do you exclude people unless you do it on the basis of whether they pay or not? What are you going to have a bouncer in front of the club where you play the content? The only way it's exclusive is if it excludes non-paying members," Pachter added.

Then when asked how exactly we would be paying for this, Patcher replied:

"The exclusive content could be pay as you go, or monthly. Let's say Project Beachhead comes up with 'Call of Duty Universe,' and it launches with Modern Warfare 3 and they say 'if you join here's all the exclusive content and exclusive weapons and we'll charge you a dollar a piece.' Or If they say, 'for $5 a month you get unlimited weapons and all the map packs we bring out for Modern Warfare in perpetuity,' a lot of people will say, 'I'm going to buy three map packs for 15 dollars anyway, so for $60 a year, I'm getting all the unlimited weapons and achievements,' so they could do that. I don't know if that's what they're going to choose to do. I'd say $5 a month is reasonable, though."
Patcher will be watching for console stats. He will be focused on seeing if one "side" starts charging and the other remains free.
Are you guys willing to pay the subscription fee? I'm personally hoping Battlefield 3 will be good, because that's what's getting my money.

For $60 a year I would have paid $130 or so WITHOUT map packs for playing Call of Duty 4...
Not to mention all the other proceeding Call of Duty games I still own...
A subscription based CoD series would lead to the previous CoD dying off because people don't want to pay $10 a month for 2 games when they play 1 of them way more...
I really hope this is a rumor or CoD can go **** itself.

Who dares, wins.
So that means £40 for the game, then another £40 for XBL and then another £3 a month, then ontop of that £10 for DLC?.. £93 just to play CoD with the latest maps. /facepalm How can activision even hope to compete with battlefield 3.

If Activision do this they will once and for all kill CoD, not many people would be dumb & rich enough to throw that kind of money at them just for one game.
