Modern Warfare 2 subscription message dismissed as 'just a glitch'

4.2
The oft-surfacing rumor of Activision's intent to incorporate a pay-to-play plan for the multiplayer portions of its Call of Duty franchise sprung up once again yesterday, when a player reportedly captured video of a hidden Marketplace item titled "Modern Warfare 2 Membership." The buzz was quickly quieted by a Tweet from Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, who stated, "nobody has to pay to play COD or MW2 multiplayer, nor will they."

A more thorough report on the subject of Modern Warfare subscriptions came from Activision's Dan Amrich, who explained, "This video shows just a glitch," further explaining, "since you can access a Live subscription renewal from within the MW2 game interface, it appears some data got jammed between two parts of Live." See, we always said some poor menu would fall into those cracks on the surface of Xbox Live Marketplace.

If they did apply this to the CoD Franchise activision would go down in flames.
Plus, Modern Gay-F**k-Stupid2 is already sucky enough, they'd just be making it worse.

This would really suck if it happened.... I have 3+ years of XBL membership backed up, so I don't want to have to 3 years of that too. :-(
