IndustryGamers quotes Michael Pachter, Wedbush Morgan Securities hit-and-miss games analyst, who says he expects Activision to announce plans to monetize Call of Duty multiplayer some time in 2011. He says: "We expect Activision to announce plans to monetize multiplayer online some time in 2011, and expect greater visibility into the release schedule throughout the year. When we have greater visibility, we think we will be able to identify positive catalysts, and we fully expect to add Activision back to our Best Ideas List at that time." During the summer Pachter also predicted such a move would happen before the end of this year.
