Well looks like I'll be waiting for CoD6 and skipping right past 5.

Paying for experience points is gay and so are games that support it.

In theory, though, this should balance things out as the ADHD 10 yr olds will get pwned by the credit card and paypal-wielding GenXers, BabyBoomers etc.

The bigger question in my mind is whether Treyarch can deliver a decent game. They never have before, what's new this time?

Activision is going back to Infinity Ward for COD6 as they should.

If you have to pay to play online, I won't be getting it.

So ya don't have to enter your DOB:

"Hey everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of discussions on the web today and wanted to send out a quick note to help clear up some questions.
To begin, please note that Treyarch is putting every ounce of our effort into making the best game we have ever made with Call of Duty World at War, and we are putting absolutely all of the content we can onto the disc, while maintaining the highest quality possible. I can confirm there will not be any game DLC available on day 1, contrary to popular rumor.
We do of course intend to support the community with robust and high-quality DLC after release, which we will start working on as soon as we wrap up the game (and some of the guys take a hard-earned break!), and I am looking forward to giving you details on that as soon as I can.
Mentions about Day 1 content are actually a reference to what the marketing guys have been calling a "Day One Advantage" or a "Tactical Edge," a program we have going with Gamestop. Users who pre-order Call of Duty World at War with Gamestop, or who buy the collector's edition from them, will get immediate access to a high-level rifle (for pre-orders) or LMG (for collector's edition) that other players will have to unlock via ranking up in multiplayer.
These early unlocks will be in addition to some other very cool added content available in the collector's edition, and are our way of saying "thanks" to the fans who pre-order or buy the collector's edition. Hey, everybody wants something extra if they pre-order or spend more on a collector’s edition, right? That’s all we’re talking about here.
I'm sure you'll see more about this from Activision's marketing team in the coming weeks.
Any references to Day 1 DLC are simple misunderstandings and hopefully this sets the record straight =). There will be absolutely no in-game content or weapons that you have to buy separately in order to unlock, so let’s get that out of everybody’s head right now =P.
Regards,
-JD

I think the latest word is just that pre-orders get unlocks earlier, but its not pay to play.
