Just two days ago, a video appeared on YouTube gaving evidence that Activision may be planning to charge subscription fees to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online.
Naturally the internet was soon flooded with a flurry of people complaining in their masses, or saying that the video was fake. Fortunately it's now all been cleared up, and not just by one source.
First of all Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, otherwise known as FourZeroTwo, posted on his blog that: "To be clear: There is not, and will never be, additional fees required to subscribe and play Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer."
He then went on to explain why the video may have come about: "The video above seems to show a user on what appears to be the Xbox Live Gold Membership renewal page via the Marketplace in the guide, but while in-game in Modern Warfare 2 (which is in error). It does not however, prove a pay-to-play subscription model is in the works for Modern Warfare 2, because no such plan exists for this or any other Call of Duty (including the upcoming Black Ops)."
Secondly Josh Olin at Treyarch tweeted: "No, you will not have to 'Pay to Play' #CODBlackOps Multiplayer either. Rumor -> Squashed."
As if that wasn't enough, Activision issued IGN with statement: "Reports of a subscription membership in Modern Warfare 2 are not true. Activision has no plans to charge gamers to play Call of Duty multiplayer."
