Bowling Says You Won’t Ever Pay For MW2 or CoD Online

PlayStation LifeStyle writes : Rumors have been circulating the Internet regarding Activision eventually charging for their highly-popular multiplayer titles. Now, Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist Robert Bowling has confirmed that the rumors are false as he has stated no one will ever pay to play Call of Duty or Modern Warfare 2 online.

Speaking on his Twitter account, 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."

Never played a Call of Dudy game and probably never will.
So I don't really care about all that.

Besides, I dont think Activision has the balls to do it lol.

Jake3605033d ago

I wouldn't pay to play an online game thats gameplay is not only generic, but is also full of glitches...

Akagi5033d ago

Agreed. Especially on Xbox 360, because you're paying for internet and Live. Another membership on top that would be a complete dick move.

Chubear5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

...but you will for MW3 :)

Claudinho695033d ago

xcept that if they charged, most likely it would be heavily moderated and fixed constantly..

This statement from Bowling doesn't mean anything. He's right that people won't HAVE to pay for COD online. The subscription plan DOES exist though, and will offer more stuff for people who want to pay for it.

You won't have to pay to play MW2 online though, you'll be able to play with whats currently available, then the subscription stuff will likely add more features/maps and so on.

Christopher5033d ago

Of course not! You also won't have to pay for DLC that's on the disc!

kratos1235033d ago

I smell a cover up. I would like him to explain that video which clearly shows at the top "Modern Warfare 2 Memberships".

EDIT: How so?

MGRogue20175033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

That video is a fake dude. :)

kratos1235033d ago

ok please explain to my how that video was fake because it looked prettey damn real to my

Spenok5033d ago

Clearly. It may have been done well. But why would only 1 person run into that issue? Its fake dude, period.

ZombieAutopsy5033d ago

I'd like to believe him but I'm still waiting for my new playlists he promised me for COD4.

Robert Bowling: "Nobody will be paying for Call of Duty Multiplayer"

Kotick: uh, STFU, you are below my tier. now do me a pay to play COD game

Robert: OH shi- im very sorry master. can you please give me my bonus pay from 8 months ago?

Kotick: No ***EVIL LAUGHTER***

if you disagree, then you have no idea that this is whats going down. Dont believe a word of what this guy is saying....

SeanRL5033d ago

That seems about right. Except during that conversation Kotick is probably preparing to eat small children, you left that part out.

KingZFlipper5033d ago

Because I am anticipating Black Ops pretty much because it looks SO much better than the disaster called Modern Warfare 2.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood263d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G263d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade262d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality262d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator261d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G262d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85263d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G263d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo263d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg263d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast262d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
