Seems like an expansion on what they've always done with stat tracking. I love it when EA talks shit on COD.

It's astounding that when COD announces some stat tracking garbage that they should have had all along, people love it. When EA says "we've been doing this forever, so fuck you guys" they come off as petty to those same people. "Fuck chicken, I like eggs!"

You've got it backwards, no one loves COD Elite, everyone is loving BF3 Elite.    The stat tracking feature is not what I'm calling petty.   What's petty is that time and time again EA, more specifically DICE, has made knee jerk reactions to everything Call of Duty. Whenever COD makes a misstep however minor it is, DICE is always the one to show up and steal attention to make themselves seem like the heroes. They did it with the FAGS controversy, they did it with the map packs, they did it with the dedicated servers debacle, and now they're doing it with Elite. It's that attitude that's the problem.  

SHIT JUST GOT REAL

Not really sure why people are trying to defend CoD. Is being nickel and dimed for everything fun or something?

ITT: A bunch of idiots.
 
 
If you bothered to read the article, you'd notice that Battlefield Elite DOES NOT include map packs! COD Elite will probably result in savings on the mapacks, and most of the stats tracking will probably be free (hell, Steam has voice chat, and XBL has party chat, there's no way Activision will charge for that)
 
God dammit GB.

stat tracking for elite is free stop being a fanboy

you pay for mappacks with COd elite

All of the DLC maps were free with that VIP code for Bad Company. Think about it.

Too bad those maps were just the boxed maps but rejiggered for the different modes.

LMAO, this reminds me when they took potshots at Activision with the FRAG ad for BC2.

Yes, it's awesome and better than anything Modern Borefare. As with all things Battlefield.
