As long as the subscription is put to good use... I have no clue how much the bandwidth alone would cost per-person, but if they plan on charging $15 a month I hope they will be adding content over time.
MMO gamers in general might be used to subscriptions, but FPS players tend to not. I've bought 1 game in 3 years, it cost me like $45, and it's held my attention for thousands of hours. Paying $50 for a game and then an extra $15 a month would be hard to swallow unless it was something I just couldn't miss. I understand the logistics of paying for server bandwidth and all (even with all the operating costs it wouldn't come out to nearly that much per-person anyways), but that's just how it goes.
That said, Huxley is probably the first game with a legitimate chance of seeing me willing to subscribe (depending on the price and final game of course).
