Its Not A Rip Of If You Play COD Alot Buy Them
They Are Quite Fun

I bought the hardened edition in australia for $155 and I would've got all 4 DLC packs so instead of spending ~$100 for the game and around $70-80 for the the DLC, I just got the game with elite premium which costs less and comes with early maps release plus i have gotten a decent amount of enjoyment from elite tv and clan ops, even though it wasn't much.

If you plan on getting all the DLCs, you may as well get elite. otherwise, probably not

How many times has this been posted now? Dude its been answered about 500 times.

Its not that bad! you get all map packs first and exclusive ones aswel!

U save about $5 by buying elite . It's going to cost you about $45 for all the maps u buy together.

U can participate in clans operation

Elite prem is worthless cuz of the maps

1. The maps suck
2. Its a waste of money
3. When ALL the maps come out u have 2/36 chances of a map you like and 2/36 chances of a map u hate
4. Therefore having all 36 maps in total (16+20DLCMaps) and having a slight bit of chance to get a good map

yes but soon they are bringing guns and that in to the game and you get all the maps trust me its worth it

ya i think elite should be 20$ not **** 60$ thats crazy

Pros:
Map packs released early
Can participate in clan ops
Get the maps cheaper then buying them in the XBL marketplace/PSN store

Cons:
ELITE server is shocking
Trouble downloading maps (sometimes)
Not much playlists in the "Elite section"

You're all missing the point.
This content should be in the game from the beginning at no extra charge! Activision thinks they can make a full game with 36 maps, then cut a load of those maps out and call it "DLC" then sell it on to idiots who think they are getting something extra!

CoD is single-handedly killing gaming, stupid kids.
