exclusives will help the console maker (and from what I have seen) the better game as well, so no

And to your earlier comment, COD is what it is today cuz of it's MP, it's single player sucks monkey &$^$( (whih is regrettable, it used to be so much better)...so if they cut off one portion like that out of the game, it will still make them lose millions, so no I don't think they will be that stupid

Because there are millions more CoD players than Battlefield? Kind of like why Windows has so many viruses

This, this, and more this lol 

These are the same guys that tried to pass off typical rep talk saying "no plans" for The Last Story in the west for a definite no.... it gets hits, bad news for Nintendo and CoD are big hot buttons.

That would suck :s at the same time, I'll have a laugh lol

and Activision has already screwed us out of our PC versions :P

I hope they do it...

I suppose I'm also curious in knowing what was their effort to stomp issues in say Modern Warfare 2? If they didn't do much to stop problems back then, are they just using this as an excuse to continue to not do anything?

Shut down your servers for a popular game with online features, and you lose most of your users base for that platform.  Is this really true with Activision?  If so, what's up with that?

So full of win.

Wishful thinking. More people will probably downgrade to MW2 before they find a completely different shooter to flock over to. Keep in mind that a huge majority of CoD's fanbase are casual non-gamers that wouldn't bother to put effort into any shooter that requires a decent amount of skill. Shutting down Black Op's servers will be HORRIBLE for the ps3's image. Among those masses of casuals are hardcore CoD fans that put tons of hours into the game. How do you think they'll react when all their work randomly goes to waste one day? If they were to shut down the servers long before the next CoD's release, i think a small decline in ps3 sales will be inevitable, along with CoD sales favoring the 360 even more.

If these "rumors" really are true, I'll just label the entire situation as completely f***ed up. I've played Black Ops for tons of hours, and plenty of friends have came over and also played it for tons of hours.....my connection has been fine pretty much every match. It's not perfect, but it's never once been bad enough to make me stop playing, nor has it come close.
