Oh you forgot to add in that players who play on Xbox have to fork over money to play online that ranged from £15 to £40 also so that's around £240!.Lacsapix said:

Seems worth it to me if I never have to pay for the map packs again. Also I laugh at all the people that are bashing this. Don't like it, don't buy it. I mean you guys most likely aren't already buying CoD so what do you care?
I'm sorry, "blindly hating" would be me screaming, "these fucking assholes are charging me fifty bucks for a bunch of stupid overpriced map packs because they are evil corporate bastards."C95J said:
I made a mistake, okay? Don't put words in my mouth.
This is insane. People will pay anything for anything marketed as "premium". What are they going to sell to the masses next? Oxygen? Oh wait..

2. Everyone gives out for free..? What? Last time I checked almost all DLC, besdies Valve, isn't free. Also I am not sure it's all the COD's (I know you get Black Ops free) but I think everything up from BLOPs for free but I can't confirm this.
3. So you pay $110 for a year... Thats about $10 less then buying two games. So a person who only plays COD, will get there money's worth. Since they get all the DLC free and such, it will pay for it self. Whether or not the DLC is actually worth $15 (I think it should be lowered to like $7) is all up to how much that person's time they will be playing that DLC.
3. Those are MMO's of the F2P genre, completely different to this. None that you mentioned are a FPS. I get what you're trying to say, but it doesn't really work.
4. Yahtzee's reviews for the most part are for fun, not really a review.
5. A group for Spawn Campers? They already do that on forums I bet so no difference where it is.
6. You don't need to buy it. Last time I checked, you can buy MW3, never buy the DLC or Elite and can still perfectly enjoy the game.
No, the elite subscribers get the maps.Soviet Heavy said:
Seriously 90% of the replies in this news are utter garbage. Oh look COD HATE HATE HATE.
Seriously there is a freaking list of what is included with the free copy and what is included with the elite service and yet people still spout the same nonsense.
OMG Halo and BF3 are offering the same service for FREE WTF!!!1!
Yea CoD is offering that exact same stuff for free too.
Seriously, I'm at the point of raging at the absolute ignorance that people will spout.
People on the escapist claim they are the crème de la crème of in the internet/gaming....right...
Seriously wise up people, but I know that won't happen.
For Stat tracking, Fucking research. Stat tracking is free. Actually there is a LOT to Elite that is free.Fiz_The_Toaster said:That picture just summed everything up for me.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Why would you even bother?
None of that even justifies $50, and stat tracking? You have to pay for that shit for COD now?
Fuck.
That.
Shit.
The $50 is if you want MORE. The free service is just as up there as Bungie's and BattleBlog.

I can't even take most of the hate on this forum serious anymore b/c half of it is really blind hate. Hating something they barely know anything about.
Look at all these people hating on the Elite service, and like 80% of them have no idea what the service even offers.
There are usually 4 15 dollar map packs a year, so you're already saving money people. Add in the early access to the maps and a few other small perks and you have a decently priced deal.

I honestly don't get the appeal of paying extra for "pro-commentated matches". Its CoD. No offense to the CoD fans, but there's only so many ways you can describe a no-scope kill, half the players camping the whole match, or everyone shooting everyone with whatever the popular gun is for this game (there's usually "that gun" that EVERYONE uses because its better than all the others. There's one in every CoD).
I mean, you can watch pro-commented matches online for free (At least you can with Starcraft 2). All you're really getting is some videos of some celebrities talking about a game they don't actually play. Seems like it'd be kind of lame and awkward.
...Also, its $50 a year. Don't people on Xbox Live already pay $50 a year to use that? You're doubling your online gaming subscription costs for ONE game. Another thing that comes to mind is the CoD release schedule. They release one CoD a year, so if you're paying the $50 a year for Elite too, you're basically buying TWO CoD games a year. It just seems like a scam to charge twice the amount for a single game.
That's assuming the Elite thing applies to ALL CoD games, and they don't do a seperate Elite package for each individual CoD game.
Then again, some CoD fans are REALLY into the game, so I forsee this Elite thing making ungodly amounts of money, whether its actually a good deal or not.
I'll just stick to keeping up with the Starcraft 2 pro-gaming circuit. Its entirely free to watch =D

When I read the title I thought 100$ minimum, glad to see activision aren't ripping us off/sarcasm
