Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 May Have A Free-to-Play Component
According to Kotaku, while Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 sold well at first, it hasn't generated the revenue tail that Activision was hoping it would. And so, internally, Activision executives have started to talk about "embracing" free-to-play and the revenue model that comes with free-to-play. As you may know, Activision has never fancied the free-to-play model, but according to mutiple sources, it is looking into offering a free-to-play component for Modern Warfare 4. The talks are apparently still ongoing, with some within Activision notably not keen on the idea.
As you may know, the free-to-play model has seen a resurgence lately, mostly thanks to the astronomical success of Fortnite. In other words, it's not very surprising to hear Activision is flirting with the model, especially as Call of Duty's market presence wanes.
For years, many have suggested that Call of Duty make its multiplayer free-to-play, while charging for its campaign and other modes, such as Zombies. Whether this will be how it will approach free-to-play, who knows, but it's interesting to hear that Activision is looking to dip its toes into that market.
Of course, Call of Duty still sells ridiculously well each year. So, there's no reason for Activision to do anything drastic, but there's no doubting that the series peaked awhile ago, and if Activision wants the series to continue to get bigger and bigger, it will need to change things up.

C4 So is it going to have BR that will be free to play? I miss the classic Call of Duty where you stay up till 3 am with your friends then wake up at 7 am and play all day! I hope its related to MW3 is some way.
:C I miss the good'ol days of cod and playing with friends. It was honestly so much fun, and now those days are slowly going away each cod. I hope this one changes my mind. :/

I think to help regain fans. Make multiplayer free to play, as they're gonna have Microtransactions anyway
