Just noticed this  http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1106732p1.html and can't say i'm suprised - I don't really play this game online much (if at all) but where this area of gaming is heading interests me. For the regular players out there, who would play a monthly sub to play MW2 online and would you expect anything additions for you fee? Would anyone stop playing altogether if Activision found a way for charging for multiplayer?

No

Why would I start paying for a service that doesn't cost them anything?

0$

No. I would if they paid me though :P

No.

Ugh... wow. Call of Duty 4 is my longest played PS3 game, (I think...) and MW2 is my longest played Xbox 360 game (I think at least... for now... I play it a lot, that's the point.) I don't know what I'd play without them! But still no, because I'd be able to by NEW games to play instead of paying a subscription.

No, thats idiotic.

Michael Patcher can eat a turd sandvich and I will just stick to my single player and multiplayer on steam if anus faces decided to start charging.

No.

I barely wanted to play for the game.

 See this is what you hear all over the internet when there is an article on this topic or it is discussed generally but you figure if people who have been quite succesful in the past at making money are going to try something of this nature it will probably work.  
 I suppose the sort of people who will pay for MW2 online either have their internet paid for by their parents or are too stupid or uninterested to offer any comments or debate.    

Yearly subscription to Xbox Live / PSN - $50 
 
Monthly Subscription to Modern Warfare 3 - $15 
 
Map Packs - $15

Use Mastercard to pay for your subscriptions and win a trip to Bobby Koticks house so he can laugh in your face.

I don't want to play it for free...

Maybe if I went to Gamespot and asked the same question i'd get some positive answers. Its not that I want Activision to succeed, on the contrary I would like them to crash and burn on this one. However, 'ol Bobby isn't where he is cos he can't spot a money-earner and as much as want  his customers to depart disgusted at his overbearing greed I think there must be some people who will pony up to continue getting sworn at by 12 year olds online - BUT WHO ARE THEY???

Nope.

i got world at war and mw2 free.  i still wouldnt pay for that garbage online

" Why would I start paying for a service that doesn't cost them anything? "

Nope.

Well i do enjoy lining Activisions pockets with money.....
 
But seriously no, unless they supported it like any other MMO, with regular content and fixing the game when aspects are clearly broken....danger close - one man army noob tubes.
If it was paying for their current MW2 service of not giving a shit about it then i would just move to halo reach.

Having to pay 65 bucks for a brand new game along with the 15 bucks for dlc is too much as is, let alone this crap. Activision really is the Apple of video games, they are greedy bastards that just want your money and they dont care if you know it, cause a shit ton of people buy their product anyway, regardless of whether its broken or not.

charging for a game you've already bought is such a shit system that has already been proven to work. i wouldn't be surprised if activision tried to usher it in, but i would never opt for it. you've already paid for the product, so being allowed to play every aspect of that product without an extra charge on top of that is a right, not a privilege.

No

NO FUCK NO.

Nope I'd just play other xbox live games that do not require a subscription, Battlefield, Gears, Halo, FIFA etc... I could easily go withut cod especially now that there is no more IW to make groundbreaking games in the series...

There are way too many other online shooters that I can play for me to pay for MW online multiplayer.

Michael Pacther is an idiot.  He is always wrong with his predictions.  I have no idea why people still listen to his thoughts on the video game industry.

If they include 5 new maps every month, I think Activision could sell the idea, but that's the only way it would work.  And can you imagine the quality of these new maps cranked out month after month?  Yeah, I personally will pass on paying extra for online multiplayer.

The only game I've payed for, and would ever pay for, has to be PlanetSide related. Needs to offer me something I like that can't get anywhere else.

I actually just wrote a short article on the subject that points out the upsides and downsides to this whole idea. 
 
Shameless plug: You can read about it here

there wont be a single yes. and if there is they are trolling. so no

Aw. Somebody wishes they could afford a Mac. Maybe one day... "

 You loosing money because every other year is the same freaking game coming out. And you simply dont understand that, people get bored of Call of Duty every year. Battlefield BC  is way better!!!!  Even then i wouldn't pay for it.

1.- Xbox already charges you 40 pounds a year for Xbox Live Gold, for that reason alone big N O ! 
 
2.- Why? Why? You pay for clothes for avatars, for gamerpictures, for themes, for arcade games, game add-ons, for holding your controller, for buying the game, for having a poop while playing the game. Other games do perfectly fine without the charge.... why start this??? oh i want to become EVEN filthier rich. What is in it for us? The lag will remain the same, the kiddos online will be the same annoying little kiddos...  People in your team will still be able to kill you for no reason what so ever.
 
Is like when PS3 announced, hey we give you this for free, but if you want this this this this and that you have to pay $$$$$$$ for it.... Really?  
 
Rant over :)  
 
I do not pay for online multiplayer, because i already paid for the game :)

I don't get why there under the impression they should get money. I payed what you asked for the product and then some for map packs.
 
...Ok so i personally didn't because i think there asking to much already. But everybody else did. You can't add a monthly charge on top when it's costing you nothing anyway.
 
..Oh wait it's call of duty. Yeah sure do it everyone will accept it anyway. 
 
The thing i see is them releasing content monthly for a monthly fee. Problem is there games come out yearly..so all the content i buy is useless come next year when support stops and they move onto the next game. Whats the point?

I would, probably for the 6 months after release that i would play Modern Warfare 3.

Man you advertisers are stooping low these days :P "

Hell no

no subscription. however i would buy the multiplayer separately from the singleplayer if I had the chance for AAA shooters.

For Call of Duty? Hell no.

" No "

I'd love to see them try to charge for this.

Not if it's just plain old Call of Duty, no.  If they make it more like an MMO (which they would have to do) and update it every week or month with new weapons, maps, perks, game types and kill streaks, sure, I'd think about it. 

It's called $100 a year for Xbox live gold.
