[CoD: Black Ops] Beta

Beta will be as soon as Kotick figures out how to make as much money as possible from the hordes of CoD loyalists and addicts to the franchise.

He'll tap them and suck them dry with his infernal immortality machine and feast upon the very life essence of nerds everywhere.... someone should just tell him Botox is a lot less of a headache and people will view him less like the villian he is. currently.
 
if they start charging 15$/month for games on top of the xbox live subscription service, that would fuckin suck. it looks like its going to happen too.

black ops better be the second coming of jesus christ
 
Either that or they'll come out with a big announcement and say "lol no subscription based pay-to-play" to make them seem like they're giving the community something for free.

Activision Must Start Charging for Call of Duty Online Play, says Pachter - IndustryGamers

Ultimately, Pachter says Activision will have to lead by example and push the industry and its online games in the paid direction. Gamers will not like it one bit, but if the experience is as compelling as Modern Warfare 2, then gamers will probably pay. Pachter's advice is no doubt music to Bobby Kotick's ears, who's already said that he'd like to turn the entire Call of Duty business into a subscription.

"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetization of multiplayer. It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, microtransaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty Black Ops launches," Pachter commented.
