There was a lot of confusion about Playstation Plus in the beginning and thankfully it seemed as though the majority of that confusion was cleared
There has been some serious rumours, perpetuated my a certain youtube video, that Call of Duty, including Modern Warfare 2 and the forthcoming Black Ops, will require a ‘pay to play online’ like subscription service in the near future. I’m happy to tell you that these rumours have been debunked so chill out and stop getting angry at the internet. Consider this rumour offically debunked. Debunked hard.
Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward and its community manager Robert Bowling tweeted the following:
“For the record, nobody has to pay to play COD or MW2 multiplayer, nor will they.”
Josh Olin, community head of Treyarch, developer of Black Ops also had his say:
His tweet reads:
“No, you will not have to ‘Pay to Play’ #CODBlackOps Multiplayer either. Rumor -> Squashed.”
North American PS3/PSN users have been able to subscribe to the Qore news/preview service for some time now. Qore is of course a paid service but it has it’s perks, most notably beta access codes and advance demos. So it’s great to hear that Sony have finally created a Qore like service for Europe in the shape of ‘First Play’. First Play will be available through the PSN and is spearheaded by Future Publishing Group, the guys behind the Official Playstation Magazine. It will include all of Qore’s perks as well as the usual HD reviews and previews.
“As PlayStation 3 moves the gaming experience to a more social and competitive online environment through the PlayStation Network, so it becomes critical that we’re offering gamers the very best content and services through this channel,” said Ray Maguire, Senior Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK. “FirstPlay is a great example of this.”
