I may pay for additional single player content - But it would really have to be worth it. I'll get bored with this game just in time for the release of BFBC2 and Storm of War: Battle of Britain.

Toad in a pot, if they over nickle and dime it to death then they run the risk of boiling the pot dry.

The extra $10 for the PC version was enough to get a lot of people to "jump out", the rest of us are stewing in our own juices.

mmmm frog soup!

NO. People need to wake up and realize Dedicated servers are the only option for FPS games on both PC and Consoles. I have been playing PC games since I was 8, the first FPS game I ever played was Wolfenstein 3D. The first FPS I played multiplayer in was Doom. When Quake 1 was released you had to play on dedicated servers otherwise nobody would be able to play because listen servers were complete s***. The same can be said for anything else that run on the Quake series engines, Ureal series engines, Half-Life engine, Source engine, and every other game engine that a multiplayer FPS game is built on. Listen servers will always be crap until home computers and internet connections around the world are fast enough for everyone to have 0-50 ping with 32 players or more (depending on the type of game and map size.)

Times change mate, We have two options: 1. Support it. 2. "boycott it" go play a console then.

Dedicated servers on consoles aren't exactly the easiest thing to accomplish.

But anyway, here's a way to stop Kotick.

1. Buy Activision stock.
2. Get the board of directors to vote his sorry *** out.

Done.

Pay to play? I don't know about that....unless we were actually getting something (besides the game) out of this (such as massive games, maps, etc on company run servers), I would not pay just to play COD by itself. Stupid idea.
