Call of Duty Online

Call of Duty Online (known as CoD Online for short) was announced by Activision when they first stated their interest in an MMO around February 2011, which by then has been in discussion for around 2 years. CoD Online is an exclusively licensed F2P game that can only be played in Mainland China, provided by Tencent, a Chinese-exclusive online social network for MMO games and social networking. Since Activision have lost the publishing rights to CoD and several other franchises in China due to a legal dispute on most of the Western gaming consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii), it's been rumored that it will be PC-exclusive, since PC holds the dominant share of gamers in Mainland China. CEO of Activision Blizzard Bobby Kotick has expressed interest and plans on investing in CoD Online. He has also stated that it could be a huge financial success for Activision Blizzard, if properly powered by micro-transactions within the game itself. CoD Online remains exclusive to Mainland China for now, with global availability to be determined depending on the widespread success of the game.
