According to a dubious survey “making the rounds” that Destructoid got their hands on, the Call of Duty franchise could in fact be looking at a pay to play model in the vein of MMORPGs. Apparently, “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.” Whether this will come in the form of a monthly fee, a one-time premium purchase, a completely separate IP, or if it will ever drop at all is still a matter of speculation. If true, this doesn’t come as a complete surprise, especially considering the comments made by Activision CEO Bobby Kottick at the Morgan Stanley Technical Conference back in March: “…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.
