I played a lot of MW2 and Black Ops but never bought any of the map packs for three reasons. One: The always seem to be crap compared to the original maps. Two: They are way overpriced. Three: PC players used to get them for free!
Call of Duty Elite
Concept »
Elite was an out-of-game service that allows Call of Duty players to "connect, compete, and improve."
Can A Website Make You Better At Headshots?
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.I wouldn't use Battlefield as an example here. EA have been notorious when it comes to selling upgrades. If you go to play Bad Company 2 on-line, for a few moon points you can unlock all the weapons....
With that said, I agree with your point being able to purchase better weapons with real money is distasteful.
I wonder how many people will actually signup for this?I dunno, how many chuckleheads lined up and said "TAKE MY MONEY" to other websites offering a shiny "premium user account" sticker and little else?
@Klaimore said:I can see how this was made for the truly "ELITE" players. Get it... Also forget the whole plan itself but that video was funny. I specially like the end.
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.Because god forbid a website dedicated to gaming actually reports about video games.

Three: PC players used to get them for free!Yeah, the good old days when patches for UT, Q3A or CS would include 10 new maps to enjoy for no additional cost, and usually accompanied with optional map packs, also free, and generally containing about 15-20 maps each as well.
Maybe you should take some time and evaluate your life. Ask yourself if you are really happy and where you want to be a couple of years down the line.

So... it's like the stuff Bungie does for free, but with a monthly subscription? I don't think so.Totally agree, here we go cod is heading for the end of the road, probably be some sort of cod mmfpsog coming next with monthly subs required to play it. Can anyone see this coming next?

Fucking imbeciles.
I feel dirty for even watching the video above. Wonder if they will keep Host Migration, Connection Interrupted, or Spawn Camping stats?

Short answer "no" longer answer" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I will say for me, I play COD competitively and I hate the feeling of putting in so many hours into these games only to move on the next year. If they are tracking stats for all their games count me in. I didnt even play COD:BO multiplayer until I read this. No reason I thought but now there is since it will track my stats.
