The three major players involved with Call of Duty Franchise: Activision, Treyarch and Infinity Ward have all released statements responding to the rumour that playing Call of Duty multiplayer in the future will require a subscription.
Robert Bowling AKA “fourzerotwo”, also confirmed from his twitter account that and i quote:
Modern Warfare 2 subscription plan rumors going around. For the record, nobody has to pay to play COD or MW2 multiplayer, nor will they.
Activision’s Dan Amrich responded to the video directly in a blog post titled ‘MW2 subscriptions? Nope.’
“There’s a video that made the rounds today of a 360 player getting a glitchy, incomplete message that uses the phrase “Modern Warfare 2″ and half of the word membership.”
“This video shows just a glitch – since you can access a Live subscription renewal from within the MW2 game interface, it appears some data got jammed between two parts of Live. It’s not a secret portal to some nefarious plot to charge people for COD multiplayer – and there are no plans to do that” said Amrich.
Treyarch’s community manager, Josh Olin popularly known as JD_2020 on twitter confirmed too that:
No, you will not have to ‘Pay to Play’#CODBlackOps Multiplayer either. Rumor -> Squashed.
Now, this settles the rumour being spread around by many sites and all thanks to this fake video below:
