Can't wait to add you, no homo. We gotta play.


The new map packs...I dunno. Infinity Ward is trying too hard to milk the franchise for all it's worth. I heard they may be charging to play online now. And that's in addition to the Xbox Live Gold membership. Fuckers.
I heard that, I didn't buy the map pack cause it's ridiculous. Is that online charge only for xbox? lol.

In addition, once I get the Xbox - I'm gonna fuck you till you love me.

I already do. :love:

I think it will be for all platforms. It would be pretty shitty to just bone Xbox Live users. Even more.

I hope the map packs become free when Black Ops is released. I'm hoping the same happens to Halo 3 and its map packs.

PC users get the map packs for free while us console gamers have to fork up the cash. But Activision is getting fuckin ridiculous with these new map packs. Back in the COD 4 and World At War days the map packs cost $10 and it was all NEW maps so you would get 5 new maps and in the case of WOW you would get new zombie maps. Now it's $15 per map pack and you get 3 new maps and 2 old maps from the original COD 4! WTF??!! You up the price on the map packs and in the process give us old shit from the previous games. So far Activision has released 2 map packs at $15 a piece so....if you purchased both map packs you have pretty much already paid for half the game all over again. I really hope they dont do this with Black Ops but seeing as how people will pay anything for these new map packs i wouldn't be surprised if they keep charging for them and even possibly raising the price on them again.

On a side note i refuse to purchase the map packs but i do have them. I used to get a shit load of xbox live points back in the day for free so i have quite a few points in my xbox live account which i used to get the map packs on the xbox. And in the case of the PS3 my brother buys all the packs so i just log on to his PSN account on my PS3 and so i gameshare and download the map packs onto my own ps3 using his account.

Ah I see. I wonder if there's any way to get free M$ Points now. I wouldn't feel guilty ripping those greedy fucks off.

My homie used to work for Microsoft and he would get a shit load of xbox point cards and year live cards and he used to just give them to me. He now works for Ready At Dawn studios so i dont get them anymore :(

The map pack isn't free for us - the MW2 one that is. It's 15$, but no one I know bought it on PC lol. It's retarded cause usually the PC community make their own maps, most of which are better than some of the developpers, but IW is keeping us from doing so...

This won't happen with Black Ops though, at least not for us PC guys, lol.

I won't play it when I get my Xbox, I can't do FPS on consoles lol.

Anyways...

CoD Makers, Publisher Squash Pay to Play Multiplayer Rumors

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has gone on record saying he wants to make the Call of Duty franchise subscription based, analysts have said the publisher should do it, and web speculation and rumors have hinted the transition to paid CoD multiplayer is on the way. But now Activision, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward have all issued statements saying there are no plans to charge for Call of Duty multiplayer.

Treyarch's Josh Olin was the first to throw a molotov cocktail at the rumor mill, leaving no room for doubt about CoD: Black Ops: "No, you will not have to 'Pay to Play' #CODBlackOps Multiplayer either," Olin tweeted. "Rumor -> Squashed."

Activision issued a statement to our friends at IGN, declaring, "Reports of a subscription membership in Modern Warfare 2 are not true. Activision has ho plans to charge gamers to play Call of Duty multiplayer."

Not wanting to be left out of the rumor-rebuttle rounds, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling tweeted: "Modern Warfare 2 subscription plan rumors going around. For the record, nobody has to pay to play COD or MW2 multiplayer, nor will they."

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who has encouraged Activision to charge for CoD multiplayer, remains undeterred. In a statement issued this morning, Pachter said: "I don't want to call out any of the blog posts or tweets or statements to IGN as untruthful. Rather, I think that they probably are true: Activision won't require people to play for multiplayer, but I think that they will find a way to offer a premium experience for a fee, whether that takes the form of subscription, pay-as-you-go, microtransactions for virtual goods, tournament fees or some combination."

Call of Duty: Black Ops is set to ship on November 7 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Windows PCs.

Sharkey says: I'm not a Pachter fan, but I agree with him on this one. In some way, shape, or form, Activision will, sooner rather than later, begin charging gamers to play online.

i never realise that they started charging for Playstation Network. i thought it was free. i noticed the subscriptions in the store today.
They dont charge for PSN. You are talking about PSN Plus which gives you access to earlier game betas and also gives you a shit load of discounts on buying games some of them are even free when you sign up for PSN Plus. It's pretty cool for $50 a year especially with the discounts you get but i dont really buy games from psn so it wasn't worth it for me. Sony has gone on record saying that playing games on psn will always be free. And i play Red Dead on Ps3 so hit me up whenever you wanna play. Wats your s/n on there btw? I know i have you on my friends list but i can't remember which one is you.

this problem im having with my xbox is strange. pretty much all last week i couldnt get it to boot up. i just got the loud fan and 2 red lights straight away but since yesterday i have been able to play on it without any problems at all but today i noticed that as soon as i switched on my sky + tv box, the xbox started to overheat, loud fan, 2 red lights and switched off and now that i have the sky box switched off again, its seem to be running ok again. im wondering if the sky + box is causing the problems with overheating. the xbox is above it but is seperated by a glass shelf.

we finished level on nearly all those free for all games we played i reckon lol except for the one you won.

i couldnt take down your chopper :( i think that was you anyway lol
Yeah. That first game we played was horrid for me... then again, it takes me awhile to get used to the controls again and the speed of the game after playing L4D2.

Yeah.. pretty solid average players is my opinion of us. Not awful, not insanely good.

Do you have any of the map packs?

You did take down my Pave Low and then the next board I shot down someone's attack copter.

What gun were you using mostly?

nah im not very good at it. i can never get more than 5 kills in a row and i have only won one match in free for all. and it was because everyone sucked and the time ran out so i won with 19 kills. i did get 28 kills in Rust once though. i usually do well on that one with my Ump 45 s with the akimbo add on.

someone has to take the harriers or helicopters down fairly quickly imo. otherwise the game will end fairly quick because usually the person using it is off hiding somewhere. and then there are the cheats using tactical insertions. yesterday i took down a harrier and chopper with one shot of the javelin :)

in the games i played with you i used that M16 assault rifle with silencer and i had the javelin as secondary.

in smaller maps like rust, i tend to use the akimbo Ump or the mini uzi and a shotgun as secondary.

i dont have any map packs. i just have whatevers there. i hate some of those maps though like Favela, Wasteland and Rundown. Rust, Terminal and Scrapyard would be my favourite ones.

that was a good game though. no cheaters which is a rarity in free for all. almost every game you go into there is at least one cheating.
