The series is getting pretty bland anyway. If they want more money, I might just giving up playing the latest installment. It's becoming Maddenesque in their lack of content and wanting more of your hard-earned money. Meh.

I'm confused. Will there still be the normal online? Or will you have to pay for an additional online account? At least PSN is free.

Eh, I don't buy map packs and that shit either way, so I don't think this will affect me or the majority of players.

Although it will undoubtedly make them more money, its highway robbery. $60 for a campaign and "gun battles" and you have to pay $10 a month for the entire experience? COOL.

What part of "the players will still be able to play online for free" do you not understand?

That's what it seems like to me too. I guess I'll have to wait and see their final plan, but if most of what I do now is still going to be free, I'll probably buy it.

The.

Unless they neuter the online maps that com with the game.

If I am a dick and want to make shit tons of money. I only give out five maps for free. The monthly fee is for the right to play the new maps. If you cancel, then you lose access to extra maps. Thre is no option to buy map packs. This way players have to fork over 96 additional dollars per year.

Of course, they better hope they do not cause a revolt.

Andif the fee gave you access to play on dedicated servers then it MIGHT be worth it.

If not, I think I might just borrow it for the SP.

Or drop the cost to like 3 to 4 bucks a month.

I hope this fails miserably so other games don't follow.

Sigh.

Here's a more detailed breakdown than Ryan's (without pricing).

That shit looks unneeded... i won't be buying the elite.

Here comes Knomo again talking about his mythical KDR that no one has seen....

If you continue with this crazy talk, he'll be forced to raise it above 4.0.

he'll still be 20.0 KDR below me.
