Does it Pay to be Elite?

It's four months since Call of Duty Elite launched in tandem with Modern Warfare 3, and things have changed. For the uninitiated, Elite is best described as a niche online network – it just so happens that the niche is massive. It's a collection of stats, information, video and social features designed to keep COD players immersed in its online experience - for a price.

Not for PS3 players.. Still a month wait after 360 makes a PS3 players' money worth less even though the same amount is charged.

Soldierone4461d ago

I've had several friends attempt to cancel it and get their money back because of that.

Doesn't matter what console you are a fan of, there is no denying this was a messed up move by Activision....

TopDudeMan4461d ago

It seemed like a good idea when I bought the hardened edition, but I had no idea I would have so many games to play this time of year.

ShadowKingx4461d ago

yeah its crazy how they are treating the elite subscribers and i will not be renewing it after my years is up. i mean its stupid yeah you get all the DLC for free but it no fun anymore because to even play the maps you have to go onto a separate playlist because your friends who don’t have cannot play it and the fucked up thing is that they won’t even release any of the maps until after all the maps are released. i don’t think they thought it through enough.

the only things they were thinking about is how can we screw all the COD players out of 50 dollars and where is the double xp weekends they used to have. now you have to wait til you get a prestige token just to even get a double xp and its only for 2 hours of gameplay.
I’m telling ya COD is getting really boring playing the same maps. they should have released the maps to elite members before anyone. then release it to the public so everyone can play the maps. anyway this is kind of long but it pretty much clear up my view on elite.

Got too overzealous with my clicking...

DwightOwen4461d ago

Anyone who bought this crap to begin with is an idiot.

Whore_Mouth4461d ago

I got the Hardened Edition so that I could get the maps at a discount, but I had no idea how broken the maps would be.

Also, Beachhead, the company in charge of Elite's online functionality are complete fuck ups and liars.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5104d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905104d ago (Edited 5104d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5104d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5104d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495104d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5103d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5104d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
