COD Elite Restricting Access To Non-Founder Customers

An email has been sent out to 'ELITE Founders' stating that the service will ' temporarily limit access to ELITE services on both the console applications and website' but 'will also be prioritizing your access to ELITE in order to ensure that you are among the first to get fully into the service'.

Everyone is a founder if you purchase before the end of the month. So this doesn't make sense to me unless problems will persist after November.

radphil4547d ago

Yea for some reason it's feeling haphazard at the moment, since they said they extended it for the month for that status. =|

StanLee4547d ago

The service was broken from day 1. For all the hoopla, it's been an absolute failure. What's worst is that the great stat tracking we've become accustomed to with Black Ops has been removed in Modern Warfare 3. Modern Warfare 3 is such a huge step backwards that I just can't play it.

Apocwhen4547d ago

What does Founder status give you? Is it just some kind of Emblem?

Dark_Overlord4547d ago

Its just a word next to your name, seriously thats it

Apocwhen4547d ago

Ok thanks. Wasn't sure if it entitled you to some extra Elite Benefits.

GraveLord4547d ago

It's not restricting access to non-Founders.
Its putting Founders and premium members before everyone else. I think that's fair don't you?

MaverickStar74547d ago

Everyone who paid for the premium before the end of Nov. it s Founder. Everyone else who has a FREE membership to the FREE portion might have to wait a little while. Paying members should have the priority.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

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.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher31d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris31d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera30d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii30d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts30d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX30d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos30d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast30d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
