Call of Duty: Elite Preview | CheatCC

CheatCC says - It's been heavily rumored for quite some time that the Call of Duty series would see the release of its own subscription-based service. Today, we can finally confirm this. Call of Duty: Elite is a subscription service that's being built from the ground up for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and will release alongside it this fall. It will allow players to experience the blockbuster multiplayer aspect of the Call of Duty franchise in a whole new way.

Yep, another nickel & dime tactic added to the long list of this generation's BS.

Yes, there may have been an overreaction to this since it is only an optional subscription plan, but this may only be the start of something bigger. Their goal is to get around 1 million subscribers this go around. By next year's COD, they'll try to get it 3 million or more. By the year after that, it'll probably be mandatory to play online. Michael Pachter is often wrong, but I think his prediction is right on this one. It will be gradual, something optional at first (advertised as an optional enhancement). But, eventually, it will be required. My fear is that the industry will then follow their lead.

IF the industry goes that direction it'll kill the general FPS craze, IMHO, and become a much narrower niche in gaming.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
