What is Call of Duty Elite? TGV Hands-On

The Gaming Vault writes: Nobody can be told what Call of Duty: Elite is – you have to see it for yourself. Well, no, that’s not true – but it certainly will help to hear about Activision’s latest expansion to the Call of Duty franchise from somebody who got to see, play with and fiddle with it – which is why I’m here.

Before showing us the full demo of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Activision ushered us into a room heavily decorated with Call of Duty: Elite logos so it could be explained to us what Elite, internally codenamed ‘Project Beachhead’, is all about.

.
Activision is going all out with this. I don't see how any game at the moment, outside of Halo can compete with this. I wonder if any Bungie guys are working on this since they have signed on to Activision for the next ten years.

I know people hate paying for anything gaming related but having people on stand-by and monitoring all this is not cheap. I wonder what the price point will be...that's the million dollar question???

AP5127d ago

While my personal interest is nil, I think five bucks or under will be a massive win for them. Massive.

I was kinda thinking the same thing as I was looking over the screenshots. It's kinda like what Bungie was offering from a stats point of view with Halo 2 forward with that franchise, but it looks like there have been more added in like playing certain match challenge set ups to add to the players career and guidance on improving.

I believe the annoucement of Bungie partnering with Acto was about a year ago, so I believe you hit the nail on the head. This smells like Bungie's influence.

UnbiasedGamer5127d ago

Bungie & Halo games been doing this for how long now? Since Halo 2 days and it is free..

why would you need to pay for this?

AP5127d ago

How far beyond what bungie can do is the question? If it offers a decent amount more it'll be good. I wonder if Bungie's game with activision will charge for this stuff?

Herminator5127d ago

Looking a lot like the Steam interface. Except, you know, for not free.

IGAMEHARD5127d ago

doesn't seem that great to me... gamebattles.com is all you need

ExPresident5127d ago

This is such trash. Offering private clan support for a fee when every other game does it free. Oh we'll offer you weapon stats when.... every game does it free.... Keep your game Activision. I'll stick with any other title that doesn't charge me for crap that should be free.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb23d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville22d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer23d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer23d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii120d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981107d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
