The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I lol'd.


    This is all a cycle : consumers are the grass, COD is the cow, the milk is the cash and the milker is activision. As long there is grass, there is milk.

    Besides, it's just the precedent this sets, before you know it, MW4 will require a monthly subscription to play!

    And that is precisely the risk if they succeed.

    Like some people have pointed out a facebook integration cannot make it worth a 8$/mo service, but it should be some extras (like weapons, abilities, etc.).... but the real danger is not in MW3, but rather the repercussions of a P2OP (pay to online play) model. I mean... 8$/mo is almost an MMO subscription fee...

    COD games will never get a penny out of me.

    My brother bought Black Ops and I thought it was pure trash.

    May Battlefield live on forever, because that's the only FPS game that I've enjoyed a great deal :)
