i would say they pulled about 97% of it right off of bungie.net like no joke and so far i have not seen anything that would make me pay for this other then you can make a clan and compete with other clans (kind of like a more epic gamebattles)

I’ve had it all weekend, and it’s really weak in my opinion. It’s a regurgitation of what you get in the game when you view your stats- just a little more storable. There is no way I would pay anything for this. Hell, even the video and photo upload is nothing more than your theater, with the exception of being able to post this to YouTube, but then it’s the COD Elite YouTube channel and not yours anyhow. Even for a free service this wouldn’t be anything great, as for a pay service it is a lame attempt to sucker some fanatics out of their money.

HaHaHa.... more Bungie Thievery
Classic! Bungie has been ahead of their times for awhile now...hence the other things taken from them by COD as well.

Theater.

Also, Zombies was stolen from Gears Horde mode. Not that I can blame them as it was a great idea.

"call of dutyelite will begin its closed beta test this summer . we will let you know when you have qualified via the email address you provided thank you for siging up "

I agree the idea is similar but Zombies is still somehow different. I enjoy Zombies more than any other "hoard" type mode out there. I don't know why but it feels vastly superior to me.

I've always thought Horde and Zombies were pretty close. From the sounds of things Zombies has done a great job adding in new stuff to keep people playing which is great. Not knocking on it at all, but it is completely stolen from gears. Just like 'Words with Friends' compared to Scrabble. Both work great and are fun, one is just the original.

yeah i got another invite but for some reason my call of duty and windows ID linked and i use a differen't email address with a no gamer tag so i had it but no stats but no invite so i had to redo it and with my right email with my gamer tag set up so gotta wait again

I got mine today also. It is cool but not something right now from what they are showing that I am willing to pay for

Really? Both games were originally launched 4 days apart from each other (November 2008). It is hard to rip off something that is launched side by side. Sorry I don't buy it.

Horde mode was announced significantly before Zombies. Not saying it's a complete copy but I would not be at all surprised if Treyarch went "Hmm, that other AAA super-mega hit is doing this. We should probably have something similar"

I have signed up as well, hope I get my invite soon!

During a press event at the Call of Duty XP venue last night, Activision revealed the pricing structure for Call of Duty Elite, a supplemental service tied to the popular shooter franchise.

Though a slew of content is available for free for all users that sign up for Elite, a premium service will be offered for an annual price of $49.99. Additionally, Activision revealed that one year of Elite service will come bundled with the Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 when it launches on November 8 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.


Features like Facebook integration, stat and map tracking, group interaction, and clan support are included with Elite's free service on the Elite website, as well as on upcoming mobile applications for iOS and Android-based platforms. Modern Warfare 3 also includes Elite features, allowing players to look at their stats and heat maps in more detailed ways than are available in current iterations of the franchise.

For $49.99 per year, users will receive the following perks:

All DLC will be made available to Elite members during the time of active subscription, meaning, when new content is offered, Elite subscribers will get it all without having to pay additional fees.
DLC will also be staggered for more frequent releases, specifically, it will be broken into chunks of 20 pieces arriving monthly in pieces and will include everything from maps to modes and Spec Ops missions. Non-premium Elite members must wait for full DLC releases which will happen less frequently, but still offer the same content at an additional price.
Though clan support is offered free, Elite clans will have a progression system akin to player progression. This means that players in clans level up their clan over time and can join tournaments.
Free Elite members get a limited number of slots for published video and screenshots on their profile, Elite members get 8X more video capacity.
Elite members can access strategy and analysis content from Call of Duty pros
A more detailed list of the perks can be found in our previous coverage on the service.


With at least four DLC drops for each of the past recent Call of Duty drops, the access to DLC seems to make the $50 price worth it alone. Purchasing each Modern Warfare 3 map pack, which will be priced at $15 per pack with four planned DLC drops (as detailed during yesterday's event) would cost users an additional $60. That's an immediate $10 savings without considering the additional bonuses.

On top of that, one year of Elite service comes with the Hardened Edition. If that package is priced at $80, as it historically has, then users will receive one year of DLC for the price of just over one standard DLC release.

The news also further sweetens the deal at the first annual CoD event. All Call of Duty XP attendees will receive a voucher to obtain a free 'Hardened' edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Proceeds from the event will be used as part of Activision's charitable efforts to help veteran soldiers find work after heroically serving their country.

1 Year Xbox Live > 1 Year CoD Elite

They do seem to be adding a lot of neat features. Seems like a really steep price for something that has mostly been around since Halo 2 even.

Ya but you get all 4 dlc included, if the harden includes all that and is like 79.99 then that's not to bad,

Yeah the DLC inclusion is the only reason I'd consider it.

Yeah if it is $79 for the Hardened then that is a win. $20 for all the DLC and other bonuses. Atrum I think the free part of the COD Elite is more like the bungie site stuff but the premium version of Elite has a lot more than that.

Ill be just renting this game. I'm so sick of Modern shooters.

Looks like the going price for the Hardened Ed will be $99 (according to one of the other forum posts). Even at that price, and additional $40 includes the DLC's and the year of COD Elite. Even if COD Elite is garbage and a waste of money, the additional $40 for the DLC's will make it worth getting the Hardened Edition.
