BREAKING: Call of Duty Subscription Incoming This Fall

Yes. It’s happening, folks. Today Activision revealed to the Wall Street Journal that Modern Warfare 3 will launch with a subscription service this fall. Called ‘Call of Duty Elite’, the service aims to provide extra content and services not available in the game proper–such as map packs, tools to analyze personal performance and more. Though a price point has not been concretely set, they’re thinking it won’t cost more than services such as Netflix which can charge about 7.99 a month. It also sounds as if the content and services the subscription will provide have also not been set in stone just yet.
On the subject, Bobby Kotick says he is not worried about backlash from gamers because everyone “will still be able to compete against each other online without subscribing to the service.”

dis StUfF sound wack dawg

I'm not subscribing to it unless they make it absolutely necessary in order to play, or unless they wow be a lot with the game. I already pay for xbox live.

Everyone says they won't pay for it but in the end they always end up doing it.

More reason to buy BF3 and GOW3

Just so you guys know, this subscription is optional. You definitely don't need it to play COD games like we already do.

This from what I understand is sort of a stat tracking, cloud based system. I am not sure all what it involves at this time, but I will post as soon as I know.

As for Battlefield 3, it's an option but honestly vehicles piss me off more then anything else in a video game. So it might come down to what the clan thinks as a whole.

This voluntary subscription in no way hampers what we would do with MW3 as a clan.

Sounds like a rip off. I bet this was Hirshberg's idea...

I posted all what it entails in the other thread. Apparently you get the map packs for free, get access to all kinds of stats ect.. We don't know the cost yet, but they say it will be the cheapest available subscription service ever.

They are also having an open beta for it.
