Important Disclaimer: Before you go any further, please keep in mind that this information is only a rumor. It does come from some rather solid sources who could possibly be in the know if such a thing were true, but until I get confirmation from certain parties, this remains nothing more than a rumor.

So why toss this out there? Because if true this would be one of the biggest news stories of the year, and even if it turns out to be nothing more than rumor, it should spawn some very spirited discussion on the state of the games industry, the way certain companies operate and the direction the hobby is headed as a whole.

Over the last few days word has been circulating that Activision (publisher of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Guitar Hero, and 90 percent of the games on store shelves that are not published by EA) is planning to set up a subscription system for the Call of Duty series' online multiplayer component.

Hit the jump for very few details and tons of questions.
