Enlighten me, how much DLC do you get for FREE when you pay for a years worth of Elite. 4-5 packs? costing $15 each? equalling to $60-$80? Still over priced for the 'content' if you ask me.Korten12 said:Um... Elite is mostly free, and you don't get a discount, you get it for FREE. Geez if you're going to insult it, at least get your facts straight.CardinalPiggles said:I still can't believe people are paying for what is just bungie.net just to get a slight discount for that over priced DLC, it's still not fucking worth it is it?One million people in the world took an arrow to the knee
Anyway, I enjoy CoD too, but to place it on such a high pedestal because of sales figures... it just proves what is wrong with these people.

True, but a year ago the idea of CoD having any kind of subscription was laughed at. Now it's been instantly and easily accepted. With so many games now having some multiplayer component it's only a matter of time before paying extra for that becomes the norm, and from there it's only a short step towards subscriptions for offline/singleplayer content as well.MiracleOfSound said:COD is about 99% multiplayer-based. 30-40% don't even play the single player part.

I may be completely wrong here, but do tell me.
Every month you get DLC, so $50 for elite, and DLC is $15, so that's roughly 3 pieces of DLC if you pay without Elite. With Elite, you get all the DLC for free which is way more then 3, and you get to keep the DLC even if you unsub.CardinalPiggles said:Enlighten me, how much DLC do you get for FREE when you pay for a years worth of Elite. 4-5 packs? costing $15 each? equalling to $60-$80?

But Elite is still optional, it's not like you lose access to parts of the game without it.Sixcess said:Korten12 said:What SP games are going sub?

If Elite had a low take up rate that might have been put off for another few years, but now...? The floodgates are opening.
I hate all the Avatar hate.Kahunaburger said:Huh. Moral of the story is apparently that James Cameron should re-release Avatar every year with slightly better CGI.
Yeh what i was gonna say basically. And adding that I didn't go see Avatar (and STILL havent seen it!) and same deal here, haven't played Mw3 and honestly can't tell the cod/mw/bf series from each other or what the difference is. Only one I ever played was cod4 and liked the campaign in that but multi wasn't my cup of tea.wooty said:Once I get over the mass amounts of shock regarding this revelation I can go back to not giving a toss anymore....................Avatar was crap too, noticing a pattern here people
I love how unspecific that all is. Except how much (I think) they charge you up front which is the price of a brand new game.ShockValue said:"More Content than Ever, with 20 Pieces of New MW3 DLC

Not exactly sure what they plan to even charge for them this time so I don't really now how much you may save with Elite if you plan on getting them all anyway![]()
Any specifics on what that DLC is and how much content it will add? Because if it's 4-6 maps every month, then it may just be worth it, depending how much you play it.Korten12 said:Every month you get DLC, so $50 for elite, and DLC is $15, so that's roughly 3 pieces of DLC if you pay without Elite.

From Elite's site it says:CardinalPiggles said:Any specifics on what that DLC is and how much content it will add?

So that's a no then. 20 New pieces of DLC over the 9 month period could just mean 20 new MP maps.Korten12 said:From Elite's site it says:
