'Call of Duty Elite still has to prove itself'

MCV:

Call of Duty Elite still needs to win over the customers it ‘pissed off’ last November, Activision says.

The online service for the hit FPS IP was bombarded with traffic when it went live alongside Modern Warfare 3 last year, and subsequently failed to work.

I hope it crashes along with the series. I'm so sick of COD, and not even sick of what it used to be. I'm just disgusted on how it turned out. COD4 is still the best in the series.

princejb1344375d ago

elite was definitely a waste of money for me as well as mw3
to each its own cause my favorite is mw2

neutralgamer194375d ago

Whoever bought into the elite bs deserved to get their money taken. And yet and still their are ppl out there that will jump at the next itinerary of the elite service and the next COD game as if their getting some ultra cool service and game lol Keep giving your money away for mediocrity and services that should be rendered upon purchase of the game and are given free by other companies.

Baka-akaB4375d ago

Typical , the the disagree or future disagree got no argument usually .

Elite propose nothing that couldnt be free and wasnt in a few other games when it comes to stats data

Emilio_Estevez4375d ago

I have to disagree. While I don't like COD or Elite, it's essentially a DLC pass like Uncharted or Gears of War has done, except the stats, clans and other things are extra compared to those 2. While it may appear as a rip-off, really it's giving you a discount if you are planning on buying all the DLC anyway.

Not to mention the choice to enter daily competitions for solo and clans that give awards and prizes along with fun picture and video contests that also have awards and prizes.

The indepth map and gun analysis/strategy videos are nice also for anyone looking to reasure themselves that they have their load outs right for the situation or those newer to the game or having trouble getting owned.

Oh and Elite TV is a fun plus, with multiple shows and episodes comming out fairly often there is always something to watch.

Groups are nice also, a way to connect with others through similar interest, always cool to join a lobby and see others with the same fav sports teams or local to my area through an icon next to their name. A good starting point to finding friends to play with online.

Best part is, as you said, the Big plus of saving a few bucks on the DLC and getting the DLC a bit earlier then others on your console of choice. But also getting all that extra stuff running straight from your console with no computer needed along with the FREE stat tracking and mobile app make it more then any other game offers overall and better then 99% of what other games offer.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher21d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris21d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera20d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii20d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts20d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX20d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos20d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast20d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
