I just heard that COD is going to have a new on-line platform which sounds like they are going to charge for playing.
Exactly. It's not the quality of the product but the business model. It's a one off type of model. There's no scalable add ons or logical avenues for new versions unlike awesome games in the pipeline like

Battlefield 3 http://www.gamebandits.com/blog/2011...ails-revealed/

or

Dirt 3
