Activision vets making freemium FPS

If I wanted to be social, I wouldn't want to be holding a control pad/mouse & keyboard, and sealing myself in a room away from annoying family to get my game on.... Not for me, but I'm sure today's kiddies may get a kick out of this

I was interested until I read social. Get out.

Why are people complaining it's "freemium"? Of course, companies have to make money somehow. Would you make a completely free product, and get nothing in return? No, you wouldn't. It's like selling your house with everything inside it for free. Besides, most "freemium" MMOs are like this. Play4Free, Pay2Win.

You unlocked the SCAR!!! purchase it now on the store for the low price of $9.99 and get a free silencer for a limited time only. *5 hours later* You hit prestige!!!! Now auto deleting all your guns, while you wait, why not check out the online store!!!!!! DERP!!

"Freemium" isn't.

Cool! But eh? I'm having mixed reactions o.o For some reason I think it'll end up looking like Commando, with an isometric view... will keep eyes open

Boo...?

It will ended up like Battlefield Play4Free, Play4Free Pay2Win

Uhmmm, didn't Team Fortress 2 already reshaped the FPS F2P model?

Why do they have to constantly have to refer to COD ???? Its as if working on a COD game gets u a Ph.D or sumthin in gaming....:P

Maybe this means their next CoD will have some innovation.... Then they can milk the "freemium" FPS instead.

Ehh... Good for them I guess.

Freemium? More like pay to win.

making games for animals :P

What if Rockstar hires Infinity Ward? Then you will get sequels after 5 to 6 years. That's what I love about Rockstar.

HFPSS Hardcore First Person Social Shooter LOL

They should make a new cod engine... Graphical improvements please. With all those money they make from mw3.. huuuh

Yay,more bland FPS games,just what gaming industry needs...

Just from reading the article, it seems that some people may have misread it. It isn't Activision themselves that formed this studio, it was Activision vets, or put another way, previous employees of Activision. Activision has no ties to this.

Eff this Shart man...... If i want a first person shooter I'll play Rage again or one of the Halo games or if I had a PC that ran higher end games I'd go back to Quake 3 or even try and track down a copy of one of the Unreal games...... Free 2 Play and freemium works in MMO's because most MMO's are RPG's but even if it was a RPG which Activision has in World Of Warcraft I still wouldn't touch it because I refuse to give money to a soulless organization like the big A, they suck and should be put out of business, Hey M$ aren't these jerks infringing upon some obscure trademark of yours?? Sue 'em, do us all a favor and run them into the ground..... Harsh words but I absolutely hate anything Activision....

Halo Reach will keep me busy for my FPS needs.

Activision is just same old same old with these FPS games. I think the next game I buy that will have ''Activision'' on the cover, is whatever Bungie is currently developing.

Casual shooters? Like 2D side-scrolling/bird's-eye view stuff a la NES era, but much easier?

Another useless FPS? Sigh...

OMG how many more shooters do we freaking need.

I'm glad they put that under the picture, because I would have never figured it out.

This better not be a F2P Call of Duty that they're working on.

It was only a matter of time.

I really like Quake Live and TF2. Hopefully this has the same level of quality as the those, and the success of the last one.
