When Activision first announced their Call of DUty: Elite service, reactions ranged from positive, to negative, to just plain confused. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg recently spoke to Gamasutra to address that last reaction, explaining that they're not yet ready to fully reveal the service's features since a lot of them are being implemented in Modern Warfare 3.

 

"We were not ready to reveal the entire feature set of the service because a lot of it is embedded into Modern Warfare 3," he said. "So what we revealed was incomplete and we did create some confusion.

 

"We're not ready to reveal everything yet. We're going to have a better service at launch because we're going to be able to polish it and refine it through the beta. I think we made the right choice."

 

Robert Bowling, Activision's creative strategist, recently conceded that he wasn't surprised at gamers' negative response to the announcement "because it positioned poorly and misunderstood." We'll see if it fares any better in the eyes of gamers once the beta phase kicks off.

Yeah they'll wait til like 2 days before it's released so there's less time for the average sheep to hear about it and realise it's a rip-off.

People would pay $20 for a 5 extra bullet perk in CoD. Unfortunately, I see this elitism thing being successful.

It's sad really, but at the same time you gotta think, when smart people like me and you go play battlefield, at least the noobs will stay away. ;D

They don't want to say anything because they have nothing new to show. They just want us to pay for features that should be free. Now because of people's reactions they're desperately trying to find something they can cash in.

imagine if u will, if u do get CODMW3 an the ELITE ill breakdown ruffle what u'll pay between XBL vs PSN.

B4 i get started it will be a total of COD 65$,COD ELITE10$=120$ an or 20$ a month=240$. internet bill45$ 1year=530 ,XBL sub costs an map pack 1st we'll just say internet bill will be 45$ amonth. COD MAP PACKS 3 for the whole year=45$,

XBL SUB, XBL 10$ a month 1year=120$ XBL 25$ a month1year=150 an XBL 60$ 1year is 60$.

PS3 COD65$+NET 1y=530$+MAP PACKS 3=45$+COD ELITE=120$=760$. now if its 20$ a month for CE plus all the reset=880$

360 XBL 10$ a month 1y=120$+COD65$+NET 45$ amonth 1y=530$+CE 10$ a month 1y=120+MAP PACKS3=45$..=880
NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=1,000$

XBL25$ amonth 1y=150$+COD65$+NET4 5$ a month 1y=530+CE 10$ a month 1y=120$+MAP PACKS345$=910$
NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=1,030

XBL60$ 1year total+COD 65$+NET 45$ a month 1y=530+CE 10$ a month 1year=120$ MAP PACKS3 45$ =820$
NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=940$

AN for the people who r adults or have bills add that to ur weekly an monthly bills. an its not about '' i got money'' its about how the gaming industry is trying 2 F us over an SUM. an it wont stop with COD other gaming companies will do the same if COD ELITE dont fail. think real hard average person 2games a year paying over 2,000 for just 2games that have onlinemultiplay
