Call of Duty Elite is Free to All, Features Explained
Robert Bowling, who is a community manager working at Activision Blizzard and one of the main sources of information about the Call of Duty series, has Twitted about the recently revealed subscription based service, saying that the multiplayer will be “free, for all players, some paid aspects TBD. Absolutely NO fee to play #MW3 multiplayer.”
Bowling has not offered any information on how the interaction between the Elite paid content and the free multiplayer of the games will play out.
Josh Olin, who is the community manager working at developer Treyarch, has also posted on Twitter saying, “Just a reminder, like we've said before, Call of Duty MP is free to play. Stay tuned for some exciting news tomorrow!”
It seems that the cost for Elite will be under 7 dollars for one month and that those who join up can expect to get a fuller multiplayer experience, specifically designed for those who have been following the series for a long time and are looking for something extra.
For a long time, rumors have existed about a project under development at Activision Blizzard which sought to use the popularity of the Call of Duty brand to power a whole new gaming experience that is based around subscription.
It seems that for the moment Activision has only chosen to go half way there with Elite, allowing the basic multiplayer formula to be free for those who pick up Modern Warfare 3 and delivering something extra for those who are willing to pay monthly.

Well I think they should have a public beta to get the feel out first.This might be new to some people so I'd test it before some kids go "Well they should of had a beta thats why this game sucks and all of the things Activision puts out fails."Just so when they get raped they can't blame anything.

Now I remember why I never read the articles on this site. It is definitely not completely free. Part of it is. It's just a rip-off of bungie.net but they want to charge us for it. No thanks. Most of you guys should try reading some posts on an actual gaming news site like gameinformer.com. I promise, it's worth it.

Strawberry-Unshaken- I'm getting MW3 over BF3. Why? Because EA servers suck big nuts....
never lagged out of a game on battlefield, but modern warfare 2 on the other hand.... every other game.
Yes you don't lag out of their games, but sometimes it doesn't even let you join a game.... EA servers still suck
