If Activision were to use MS servers for COD multiplayer, would they then end up having to pay MS for the use of the servers?

Normally yes from what I heard. But I hope the payment is vast DLCs and other exclusive contents.

 

Maybe that kind of deal could be done with Activision? I don't know how many dedicated servers you would need to host COD, quite a few I would imagine? The 300,000 number that has been doing the rounds sounds impressive but is that number even enough? I guess they can scale if the demand is there.

 

If this is all confirmed and I don't see why not, from what I have been reading windows azure is impressive, is expanding and makes quite a bit of revenue.

I think this is a clever business move by MS, they have the potential to make a lot of money by offering publishers the ability to have their games on dedicated servers and this is also good for the gamer.
