If you're closely anticipating the release of an online play for call of Duty, then listen up. Looks like Activision is cooking up something to suit your taste buds. However, this could mean more fees to hurt your pocket, though.

Tom Tippil, Activision CFO, has disclosed their plans that players will be charged to gain access to certain online features or experience online play. As he reveals:

“It's definitely an aspiration that we see potential in, particularly as we look at different business models to monetize the online gameplay. There's good knowledge exchange happening between the Blizzard folks and our online guys.
We have great experience also on Call of Duty with the success we had on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. A lot of that knowledge is getting actually built into the Battle.Net platform and the design of that. I think it's been mutually beneficial, and you should expect us to test and ultimately launch additional online monetization models of some of some of our biggest franchises like Call of Duty.”

In addition, he reveals that it would be a great opportunity for gamers asking for an online content, but they have to be prepared to shell out some cash for these are paid services. He promises though that it will be worth the money you spend:

“Our gamers are telling us there's lots of services and innovation they would like to see that they're not getting yet. From what we see so far, additional content, as well as all the services Blizzard is offering, is that there is demand from the core gamers to pay up for that.”
