i have no problem with this, i guess if i was more invested in MP i would be more bothered / excited, but as long as i don't have to pay to play online, who cares

No thank you

No.

I wonder how many people will actually signup for this?

whether you like it or not, tons.  

the ending was kinda funny though. I chuckled. 

well, it's COD, so no matter what they do they're going to get a ton of money out of it...

Practice & a good game with decent controls makes you better at headshots. The website will just be good at telling you which guns are better than others than getting this.

so you are supposed to pay for stats and clan stuff?  Why?  I don't get it.

People are going to eat this shit up.

The way they handled the map packs in Modern Warfare 2 has guaranteed that I will not sign up for this. I'll be fine with just the core game.

IT'S LIKE ORGANIZED SPORTS IF ORGANIZED SPORTS HAD ORGANIZED SPORTS  I like how the narrator in the video gets spawn-killed a whole lot. Lets everyone know how quality a game this is.

Oh hey, Modern Warfare 3 gameplay at the end. Didn't expect that.

Keep milking that cow activision.  I hope it runs dry really soon. 

I feel bad knowing that there are going to be a lot of people paying for this, and they will somehow think it is totally worth it.

Yeaaaaaaah, not paying for this service. Like the article says, Bungie.net offers most of this service for free. Kind of interesting, since Activision is Bungie's publisher these days (that feels so weird to type).

The only thing that I like about this video is the ending.

like i want a web site that broadcasts how shitty i am at CoD MP compared to the rest of the world.

I love stats.

Plenty of people will sign up for this. The question is whether it's worth it. And there's too many variables we don't know to answer that.

god dam activision, i was going to not play any newer cod games anymore. but being a stats whore I can't ignore this. It looks pretty interesting. The only reason i'l pass on this is because I have other stuff to do. I already bought mw2 and blops i have no intention of getting another one in the next years.
 
Only thing is that, I hope it really offers MORE than comparable services. Now it just looks like a combination of existing things like steam / facebook and a strategy guide or a wiki.

I'm not seeing anything that somebody else hasn't made for free in the past. But it is like XBL, you charge money for something that was suppose to be free, don't give the players any option and with time, the sheep will begin to defend your actions.
 
It's confidence tricks 101, the mark won't accept that he/she is being played so they create excuses for the conman's actions.

Well this looks completely stupid.

Activision has finally gone mad,mad like the scientist who created frankenstein. I see bobby kotich emerge from the scene. Still can't believe there charging money again. They have so much money from the last years with these game and still they want money? There are very very greedy at this moment. I see the grinch all ready smiling. And i compared that CoD Elite with Bungie.net it is exaclty the same only with a different name. I am so sad to see this franchise going to a death that i can not tell.  
 
Sure it's one person speaking here but activision will not give a damn about you or anything else. They will get your money out of your cold dead body since well you want play with new maps? Give me 15 dollars so you can play or pay around 8 dollars a month. I think this could be the death to many games since a lot of them are doing this for totally free!  
 
My only hope lies with Battlefield 3...really one last hope for a awesome pc shooter. And no i will not buy MW3 since it's running on a engine wich is eleven years old! And it's still the same old game with some new make up nothing more nothing less. But who am i to say? I know people will buy it since they need there k/d ratio fix,since i don't care about that either. I just want go in a game have some fun shooting like Bad company 2 and them i am happy. MW1 was such a great game but the developers have gone crazy since they need to work and shup up from Mr. Kotick. I mean 5 fucking studios are making only a title called CoD nothing more nothing less. 
 
 
And all the press release it is so full of horseshit you can't even see the shit in front of you. I hate them for talking smak like that really with a big pokerface. They promise a lot but they don't,i think like Black Ops the launch will be flawless for 360 players and again PS3 and PC are screwed like they give a damn. Patching goes even slower then my internet in 1998. So my wish is from now till the end of time do not buy this shit since for 15 bucks you buy great indie games for more fun then 5 maps..... or even a CoD game since the flamers/hackers etc will be there and no 'nice' social community there is only hate in all CoD these days. 

Having to pay for stats?  lame... Video guy and video?  Rather amusing.. I admit, I laughed.. Like the video, hate the pay for concept.  Video though, two thumbs up for amusement value.

Will play at least a months worth of MW3. 
 
Wont pay for stat tracking. 
 
Would pay for only getting matched up with people who fill in a giant sheet with questions like are you rowdy 1-not at all 2-a little and being able to filter people who didnt tick a certain box.

This is just silly.

i find funny that Naughty Dog was asking a couple of weeks ago what crazy stats tracking or leaderboards would you like to see on uncharted 3 
 
oh you Activision

They haven't even said what this is really 
 
BUT HEY FUCK IT LETS JUDGE IT

TJ Miller made what could have been an outright terrible video, somewhat bearable.

Ok before i grab my pitch fork and torch. i like some more details. if all it is, is access to new maps 1 week early and the ability to share youtube clips. count me out. il go buy a capture card for 15 bucks and then post them to facebook. as for crazy stat tracking. im all for it! but they would really need to out do Bungie first.  still maybe come E3 they announce something really cool and they'll get my money. 

I got no problem paying 4-5 bucks a month if it means I won't have to pay for DLC.

Some of the stuff is grear, like clans but fuck me if i'm gonna pay for it

Hey bungie.net does that... and that... and... wow, this isn't going to be free?

This kind of service should be offered for free imo but if Activision want to be money hungry, and people want to be stupid, then I'll just have to go along with the status quo.

This is about a thousand times dumber than EA's Gun Club. The fact that it got an article from the Jeff is proof that AI individuals are in the majority. Fucking imbeciles.

Paying for stat tracking ? Yeah right.

While I'm not surprised that the service exists, nor have an interest in it...  that video above was pretty entertaining.

Why does anyone need to know where they killed most in a map or where they get the most kills at in a map? Just line up your sights and shoot faster than the other dude. That one's free. 

At least the trailer is, for what it's worth, mildly amusing.

Oh, so this is how Call of Duty will be Tony Hawked/Guitar Heroed/Milked to Death. I was wondering about that.

I smell a rat.  It's name is Bobby Kotick.  If they even hint at selling better weapons and equipment for use in multiplayer to give subscribers an unfair advantage against players who didn't pay the subscription fee, the CoD franchise will be dead to me forever.  That kind of nonsense is nothing less than a paid form of multiplayer cheating, sanctioned by the publisher in a foolhardy attempt to squeeze a few more nickels out of a franchise that is being milked to its maximum already.  It would backfire in their faces, though, as millions of players would leave CoD for the Battlefield franchise.  Activision is playing with fire -- BF3 looks amazing, and this is no time to leave CoD to leave an opening for a rival, especially with a game engine that is looking dated in comparison with BF3.

Every time I have a Halo stint and think about buying the Bungie Pass I remember "hey I'll never actually use this". And I bet this will get a similar reaction.

i thought this was going to be that rumored pay to play multiplayer.  i kinda wonder if they're trying to gauge the customer base and see when they can make it a fully pay to play model.
 
not a lot of info here.  maybe e3?

This guys voice needs more gay lisping

Kudos to Jeff for the balanced and reasonable write-up.  Reminds me why I pay for this site, when much of the same is available for free elsewhere. 
 
Now if only I thought this Elite service would be in any way comparable...
