I really wish I could agree with you, but I'm coming more and more to doubt that.

Modern Warfare 3 introduced a new breed of COD DLC: Season Pass COD Elite. Activision could now make more money off of releasing less, and earlier as well. Sure, they eventually released the content as a traditional map pack, but they found a moneymaker.

Activision knows how much money they can make off Microtransactions, and they know exactly where they can put it so it will make money. It's only a matter of time, not whether they will do it or not, because as a company, their goal is to get more money out of less.
