After Rocky Start, Call Of Duty Elite Is Almost Ready
See Full ImageTechnically, it launched alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. But as most fans know, it wasn't fully operational at the time.
Now, Activision says their subscription service, Call of Duty Elite, will be completely functional by December 1. That's good news for the millions who want to access all services in question.
Despite a long beta test, Beachhead Studios just couldn't handle the sudden influx of registrations that came flooding their way when MW3 launched. At first, they said less than 10% of registered users actually had access to the full Elite package. As Activision VP of production Daniel Suarez told G4TV:
"It was our fault that the service wasn't up and running the day [fans] put in their token or the day they bought it. They kind of have to bear with us while we bring this all back up, but for us it's literally 'Give us those couple weeks, we're giving those to you for free and come December 1 the goal is that we'll have everything up and running.'"
Elite also suffered various errors on both console and PC and unfortunately for the hardcore CoD followers, the Double XP and Founders entitlements weren't working. But Beachhead has been working hard to fix everything and hopefully, as of the first of December, Elite will be 100% ready.

@AlexanderTH3GR8: People who constantly purchase each and every Call Of Duty game and expansion pack, simply because they want the full experience, but don't quite understand what they're truly buying, and how much they're spending.
It seems I'm commenting once every 6 months now, lol. Glad to see Jawknee is still here. Same with Worlds.
(Drones may eventually turn into sheep, which is basically the same thing, but with fur, and far less cool due to the lack of a metal body part)

They pay $60 for the game, and then an additional $60 for the four content packs throughout the year.
That;s $120 per Call Of Duty game.

I really enjoy new maps (which is why im pretty content that each version COD is basically new maps).
If some people decide this makes me a drone - well lets just say I won't be crying myself to sleep for not being a gaming snob and part of the kool crowd.

I finished the campaign on veteran this morning and enjoyed it. I think MW2 was a little better but it was a good finish. I've been enjoying the MP but just have to mute a lot of the idiots. I do love the people. I told one guy his mic was messed up and he got pissed off at me. I guess he's just sensitive.
