If games like CoD actually do end up with subscription fees...

Very few games can reasonably say they actively combat cheating.

More and more MMOs are both charging subscription fees and having premium content, too. I'm not saying this will happen if console games go "online subscription," But given the likely contenders are EA and Activision, I somehow doubt they're going to give up paid DLC.

Again, not sure it's going to happen, but I'm pretty sure someone's going to be the first, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big franchise that does it first. I mean, it almost has to be. I doubt if some third tier game did it, it'd fail miserably.

The sad thing is, it may be Microsoft who actually fights this, since its their policy that has prevented almost all MMOs from hitting the 360. You know, since they want to justify their fees for Live Gold.
