Activision announces Call of Duty Elite (multiplayer still free)

Compares to a Netflix like subscription ($7.99 or lower)

Services not announce yet but you will probably see somethings like Bungie did for Halo with player analysis.

An the sad part there plenty f people willing to pay for this content.

Not really surprising tbh, oh well, that's what BF3 is for.

[skyballin]

If I made 20 million dollars a year, I still wouldn't subscribe to this nonsense.

[$Greatness$]

I wish I was as thorough as Bobby Kotick. I wish I could rape suckas' pockets like he does.

[StrifeTribal]

I still play Modern Warfare 1+2 daily... If the multiplayer is anything like MW2, just a bit more balanced, I'll be very happy.

But they will have to deliver a very, very insane multiplayer experience, to make me even think about paying for small things.

I'll wait to E3, maybe they'll discuss more of the details.

Depends whats on offer, free maps is good but I want more prestiges, guns, camo and game modes, but how would this work for the people that dont subscribe? maybe just pair the subscribers together but that will split the community even more. I am interested to see how this pans out.

Wow, its not even a game its just a website like B.Net was for Halo... and that was free :/

[SupraGaz]

Dedicated servers for consoles would be nice, none of this host migration crap. When I moved to black ops on pc being able to search for any map with any game mode with a ping of sub 20 was brilliant.

If it's still p2p I'll pass and get it for pc again. I'm guessing it won't be server based though as they'd have to do it for all, not just "elite" subscribers.

[F34R]

meh... regular online like we have now will still be free...

[ToonAssassin]

another reason for me not to play CoD MP, BF3 all the way this winter

That's why I love Bungie. They go the extra mile for the customer.

Never really played one of their games, but they seem a bit like Guerilla games in that sense. Can't wait for their new IP on Ps3.

you might just get your wish, one of the devs tweeted that consoles will have dedicated servers .

still don't know if its free or not though .

and there's that possibility that the tweet was bull or that activision will get in the way .

[darky89]

That's ridiculous. The thing is, I'm betting you'll be able to get more powerful weapons through the subscription. And we all know how sad people are, and how they'd do anything to get ahead.
This better bomb completely. Everyone should shun it, otherwise it will become the norm one day, and having a subscription won't be a choice.

That said, I hardly ever play online....

How are the maps free when your paying for it..

[podsaurus]

I'm glad I got back into playing MW1 instead. I could understand this if Activision was deep in debt and lacking money but this is just a way to nickel and dime people.

[nextgen3]

some1 clear this up for me!! they releasing MW3 game in november, but they releasing elite the same time as MW3 :/ im confused now! isnt MW3 gona have MP already on the disk like MW2 did? or are they putting elite alongside MW3 MP an to pay the subscription?? or are these seprate!

Did you read the article? Elite is a subscription SERVICE that adds to the multiplayer part of COD games

[MedicDog]

hmmmm, I'm still not sure.

[dc writer]

Is this what Activision was talking about when they said "Most advanced Multiplayer experience" ever??

As long as multiplayer remains free and I can also purchase map packs, I don't need this subscription service.

[scottscorpion]

I just play to have fun...I really don't need all these stats and crap. I want to spend more time shooting at people, not staring at graphs.

[LastManDancing]

Never cared for CoD multiplayer, but I will be picking up the game eventually (When price drops) for the co-op modes and campaign.

[reasonable_doubt]

How are the maps free when your paying for it..

it free if u BELIEVE it is free...

but seriously just so ppl know activision spend millions of dollar on group psycology(yes kind of odd they would spend that much money on non game relate development). Yes, they take random teens and adult and let psycologist evaluate them on COD features and how they react to it( buy or not). They been ****ing with your mind since COD4.

they charging ppl to look at stats and join clans = "Most advance Multiplayer ever???"

and ppl loving it. Actvision accomplish something the CIA couldn't for years...MIND CONTROL!!
