Will Call of Duty Get A 'Second Tier' Of Online Multiplayer?

Call of Duty publisher Activision has been talking about new ways to make even more money from its shoot 'em up cashcow for years. A new report makes it sound like a new way to play Call of Duty online is imminent.

The analysts at Wedbush Securities believe that Activision is set to reveal a new "tier" of Call of Duty online multiplayer within the next three months. "Activision remains a top pick, primarily due to the company's potential to create and monetize a second tier of multiplayer online gaming for its Call of Duty franchise," Wedbush analysts write in their January 2011 newsletter. "We expect this to occur during the first quarter of 2011." Yes, that's pretty soon and, yes, they're being awfully specific.

If accurate, that new way to play Call of Duty in some capacity may represent Activision's desires to deliver that "high-margin digital online content and further the brand as the leading action entertainment franchise in new geographies, new genres and with new digital business models." That was the company's plan as of March 2010.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops still do big numbers in online multiplayer and big sales of retail copies. But Activision brass has bemoaned the limited number of ways they can sell goods to the Call of Duty-playing masses after they invest in the game, map packs notwithstanding.

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has been thinking about "the natural evolution of a property like Call of Duty into a massively-multiplayer environment" for some time, taking cues from World of Warcraft makers Blizzard. The company may also see the ongoing success that developer Valve has had with games like Team Fortress 2, which recently began selling in-game goods to an audience willing to spend, and want some of those dollars.

The Call of Duty publisher (and its developers) claim the boxed, retail copies of games in the series will never carry a subscription fee to play their online components. Of course, there are many other options the company can pursue beyond the box.

So... Battlefield but as an MMO?

If it wasn't done by Activision, I'd look at it at least.

Taking cue? So, does Activision plan to put out a game, not charge a monthly fee for it, have dozens of updates and add-ons for free before they decide to charge for items?

 

[JayDizzle]

They'll probably make you pay real money for prestige before long.

No one plays anymore.

I put the game in for the first time in months yesterday, and in my first match went 17-1 with 1 bomb plant and 1 defuse in Sabotage. I jumped in middle of the match, defused the bomb with 3 seconds left, carried it a ways, then died. Then i just said fuck all of you and raped the other team, planting it FTW.

Video game players seeking to make a quick move up the ranks in Activision's first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops might want to prepare for this weekend.

With the launch of "First Strike," the opening set of downloadable maps for the game's multiplayer and zombies modes, studio Treyarch is hosting a "double XP" weekend this Friday through Sunday.

The "double XP" event will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, according to a tweet from Treyarch community manager Josh Olin.

During matches in Black Ops' multiplayer, players can earn twice as many experience points during matches.

"First Strike," which is available only on Xbox 360, features four fresh multiplayer maps and a new environment for zombies mode starring undead monkeys. That is not a typo.

For more details on "First Strike," check out this video.

Just got done with a game of zombies. New map is fucking awesome. 3

 

[JayDizzle]

Double XP and yet they discourage boosters... hmm. :ionno:

 

[Buzzman]

I just spent 4 hours playing zombies looking for all the Easter eggs. The zombie forums is going nuts because apparently there's a secret room you can access after playing the hidden secret game. It was tough doing everything but then we had t stop because the next step required 4 people and we only had 3. Pretty fucking sweet though. Sweet ass map and the story you can scrap together through radio's and previous maps make it even better.

I swear if these guys put this much attention into the multiplayer maps the game would be 10x better.
