This video clip featured on YouTube has created a bit of controversy with well-known Infinity Ward Creative Strategist Robert 'fourzerotwo' Bowling commenting on his website:
The above video was posted online, and an onslaught of questions as a result was sent in to me.
To be clear: [B]There is not, and will never be, additional fees required to subscribe and play Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.[/B]
The video above seems to show a user on what appears to be the Xbox Live Gold Membership renewal page via the Marketplace in the guide, but while in-game in Modern Warfare 2 (which is in error). It does not however, prove a pay-to-play subscription model is in the works for Modern Warfare 2, because no such plan exists for this or any other Call of Duty (including the upcoming Black Ops).
That said, feel free to cease freaking out. [URL=http://www.gameculture.com/2010/07/20/could-activision-be-planning-cod-mw2-pay-play][B][COLOR=#8e0505]Read More[/COLOR][/B][/URL]
