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.

I agree. The CoD fanbase is so huge it will be hard to just stop buying the games. Since most of our friends play it and we've gotten into a habit of buying it year after year it will be tough to just stop and go to another first person shooter.
For now I'm saying Battlefield 3 will get my money, but I wouldn't surprise myself if I buy CoD next year too.

I agree 100% on everything you said the CoD fanbase is to huge it's a household name already... I personally enjoy battlefield WAY more than CoD but BCB2 got stale for me already, and same here I'll be buying cod again because that's the game all my friends and everyone on my friend list play... I'll make my mind once I see how Battlefield 3 turns out to be
