 "Call of Duty Online" is free-to-play for mainland China and is hosted by Tencent.Since Activision had lost the publishing rights to "Call of Duty" and several other franchises in China due to a legal dispute on most of the Western gaming consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii), it had been rumored that it would be Microsoft Windows-exclusive, since PCs hold the dominant share of gamers in mainland China.
