I can play hundreds or even thousands of hours of halo 3 for $100 (50 for the game and 50 for xboxlive account). If i play 500 hours of halo 3 (i think this is a reasonable guess of how much I will play... that means I will only spending $0.20 per hour of entertainment. I could shoot thousands upon thousands of bullets in that hour ! So this new game is going to have to: a. charge me less than $0.20 for thousands upon thousands of bullets and b. have better game-play than halo 3 (i doubt this is the case). If you want to pay-to-play and actually get money in return for your investment, then I suggest you play in (also legal) skill-game tournaments of a popular game like CounterStrike (definitely a skill game). This site run online skill-game tournaments: http://www.GetGosu.com This sounds like a better option than paying-per-bullet. huh ?
