But downloadable content still costs money

Call of Duty Elite Will be Free for Black Ops 2

Call of Duty Elite was introduced with the launch of Modern Warfare 3.  The premium service for everything Call of Duty was Activision's experiment to extend the product outside the boundaries of the game while providing a premium service for fans of the series.  It also provided regular content updates which were also sold as premium DLC to non-subscribers of the $60 service.  For the most part, it seems Elite was successful, but perhaps it was a bit confusing and burdensome for the more casual player.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection One Arrives On PC This Month

I know, I know. Most of you took your copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and threw them straight in the toilet as soon as that Black Ops 2 trailer hit last night. Never mind the fact that MW3 has a ridiculous amount of new content on the way. It's not just you. Take a look at the Call of Duty website. The current edition of the franchise has been reduced to a mere afterthought. Speaking of afterthougts, PC gamers are finally going to get MW3 DLC this month. Timely.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Sales are Down from CoD: Black Ops

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's sales figures are underperforming. The fastest selling game of all time has sold less units than its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops. This is according to analysts at Macquarie Equities. The actual numbers are not made public, so I guess we'll have to take their word for it. Hell, good enough for Gamasutra, good enough for me.  Sales were most notably down in March, where the military shooter only perfomed half as well as it did at this time last year.

Mass Effect 3 and Syndicate Co-Op Modes May Hint At "Co-Op as the New Deathmatch"

The spring gaming season is well underway and we've already seen a slew of co-op game releases, like Binary DomainJourney, and Shoot Many Robots, where cooperative gameplay was a focus for the game from the start. Yet we've also seen some major AAA releases, like Mass Effect 3, hit store shelves where the addition of a multiplayer component is something new for the series; or an existing series, such as The Darkness II, swap it's formerly competitive multiplayer mode for a strictly cooperative one. Finally, you have the revival of older games that have had their format completely changed - leaving them ripe for the traditional player vs player multiplayer style to which we've grown accustomed - and still maintain the co-op gameplay (we're looking at you, Syndicate).
