Call of Duty Elite still 'intermittent,' annual memberships bumped to 13 months

4.6
While Modern Warfare 3 appears to be continuing the trend of stable, successful Call of Duty multiplayer launches, the much-ballyhooed Call of Duty Elite service hasn't fared so well. Despite a beta and a solid indication of the platform's requirements, Elite has been down since launch day. While Activision and Beachhead Studios continue to toil away on the problem, they've added another update to the CoD Elite status page letting eager gamers know what's what.

"And for our premium members who are Founders, know that granting your status and delivering your in-game benefits in MW3 is a priority," the statement reads, addressing the early paid adopters of Elite. "Also, to ensure that every premium member receives their full money's worth, we are immediately and automatically extending your membership to Call of Duty Elite by 30 days at no additional cost."

So that means your one-year membership is now a thirteen-month membership. But what if you haven't bought Elite yet? "If you're still considering becoming a premium member, we're going to extend Founder eligibility until the end of the month," the statement continues, "and you will also receive the additional 30 days of access."

So that's thirteen months of Elite and a one-month extension on Founder eligibility. A decent enough consolation package for premium members, but the free users will have to simply wait for Elite to get back online before they can start tweaking their loadouts from work.

Stay tuned for an interview with Activision on what's happening with Call of Duty Elite.

why do people care its such a bad service and overall just a pointless attempt to take peoples money (from what I got off the beta and the fact that the only reason they are having a lot of DLC this year is so people buy it)

1yoyo105 What do you expect? It's a new service. They got to get it all up and running. There is craploads of traffic to that website. Just wait it out. Like everyone else said. At least they're doing something.


Yea, there doing something. Cracking your piggy bank and stealing 80$ or watev for something that SHOULD be free.

Agreed you should have to pay for this. at least they are putting a statement out saying they are doing something and not waiting. this is a good service. You dont have to pay to have an account. Gratz IW

You realize its actually $50 and it includes all DLCs. If your someone that buys all the DLCs, your spending $60+ just on that. Also the premium membership includes several contests with prizes like cars. If going to be in the running for a car, your gonna have to put a little money in the pot. And as far as stat tracking goes, they aren't charging for anything that anyone else offers for free.

DeadlyDasher I'm not pleased that they extened the founder status until the end of the month. I want exclusive stuff, and once people see the camo they're going to go out and buy some MSP for a cheap price on black friday, and get elite.

I feel the same.
I actually think that they should restrict founder status only for people who pre-ordered MW3 hardened edition.
