CoD Elite

[Amari24]

I read about a subscription plan that'll be required to play CoD. Anyone else hear about this? Activision basically took their $1billion from Black Ops and said "screw you".

Here's an article. I was wrong, apparently Elite players get benefits for an extra fee.

Enclosing, good luck with that. No chance in hell would I pay $60 for the game, $60 for a yearly subscription, and an additional fee, on top of $20 map packs. You'd think this was an MMO, but no, it's a FPS. No FPS should have monthly fees, period.

Lame.


Not going to pay a monthly fee for a FPS.

No way in hell.

Wow. No words.

I actually didn't care (as long as it's not mandatory, let the tryhards pay more money so they can drool over their stats) until I read that CoD:Elite would entail improved matchmaking. That had better mean "more search restrictions" and not literally "improved" matchmaking because whatever ships with the game should be the best possible code.

Almost pisses me off as much as that BS games are pulling now where you have to have a pass to play online so you can't buy the games used anymore...

I agree.

But the worst thing is, in which piss you off. Call of Duty(though I hate it) is the largest game(sells) ever, but yet they feel that they should get more money.

People are gonna do it, so they wont go "Oh, everyone hates this, lets make it free". No people, allot of people are gonna pay for it, and notice that the matchmaking is actually not different, just a lie to make you think that CoD was fixing it's matchmaking.

Like it was said before, this is nothing but Bunige.net for a fee.

Yeah dude. It's just sad to see a huge company like Activision using their position to squeeze as much money out of the community as possible instead of funnelling features back in to make the game better for the people who play it. Dedicated servers should've come before a subscription service of any kind.

If the fee was for dedicated servers I might consider it, but "fixed" matchmaking? Shouldn't it be fixed anyway?

Exactly, and if you have to pay for a fixed matchmaking, I wonder what they would do, if they added dedicated servers. They might charge you $20 bucks for it.

Seriously. they make you pay for p2p networking...ridiculous

[InsaneBlaze23]

I find this funny, this is what my cousin said when I asked him about it.

"It's nothing like Bungie.net"

"It's a good idea"

"It takes all the little kids out of it"

"It stops camping"

"It's the same thing as paying $60, for a game for the same console"

See I find what he said funny, even funnier is him calling out camping when thats all he does.

if it's on the ps3, and there's a small monthly fee, there's no reason for me not to try this out for a month or two as long as i can just buy a psn card and pay for it like that, if the damn psn store is even working by the time this game comes out lol

[Amari24]

Apparently making $1billion off a rehash just isn't enough for a company like Activision. I'm so glad I've never bought a CoD game in my life, I'd hate to have my money in the hands of a company like that. I was so close to getting MW2 when it came out, good thing I got Assassin's Creed 2 instead.

Lol, I agree, and regret ever buying CoD 4 and MW2, never bought coD 3, waw, or black ops.

The only cod game that I bought and loved was CoD2.
