I posted this in the shoutbox but I thought it deserved a thread. This doesn't bother me personally because I wasn't planning on buying the game, but I know some of you are. Essentially, Activision (Kotick) are planning to charge a monthly fee that will give MW3 players premium content such as extra maps (basically replacing the map packs), and facebook integration.

Kotick's defense is that they need the fee to pay for the expense of adding the extra content to the game, which considering it's just a reskin of the previous CoD games and already costs more than most other video games, is a poor argument.

What do people think of this? If you had to pay a fee to play on the most popular maps, unlock the best guns, and play with your facebook friends (lol), would you pay it?
