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.

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.

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 can honestly say, this has been stressing many people out. They need to get it under control. Many people have bought this game and many people want Call of Duty Elite... wouldn't you think that IW would add more then enough space for CoD Elite?

Whatever... I got mine all done today with premium membership added today... and I have no idea how I managed to actually get in CoD Elite...
