If the video above is legitimate, it may mean Activision is stepping up its plans to create a subscription model for the Call of Duty series. VG247 reports that the user was trying to join a friend’s session and had a purchase screen pop up. The half-word “Membersh-” is cut off, but seems to clearly imply a membership program will be for sale.

We know that Activision is interested in creating a subscription model. The company tested the waters with a survey last year, and more recently company head Bobby Kotick echoed the sentiment outright. “I would have Call of Duty be an online subscription service tomorrow,” said Kotick. “When you think about what the audience’s interests are and how you could really satisfy bigger audiences with more inspired, creative opportunities, I would love to see us have an online Call of Duty world. I think our players would just have so much of a more compelling experience.”
