E3 2011: Call of Duty: Elite beta begins July 14

Too bad they don't have beta testing for the actual games...

Not. Worth. It.

ppl open your eyes every1 keeps talking about how there not paying for the cod elte...The service itself incorporates both ((FREE)) and premium. so stop complaining about paying for it you dont have to

But mw2 map packs cost 15 dollars and they sucked balls compared to black ops map packs. BTW how are those days over?

loved mw 2 getin mw 3 but wont pay for this and allso the days wher i pay 9.99 for a few maps are gone

Gay video

I would like to retract my last statement... didnt get to see the whole thing.

that video sucked.

Love this game~

After watching BF3 and Ghost Recon...MW3 looks like a joke. One tricky pony which some gamers will be pay monthly for...good luck with that!

@another_drew I wasn't defending Activision or CoD at all. I was laughing at the fact that everybody seems to be bashing MW3 and praisng BF3, yet MW3 is still managing to set pre-order records. And where are you getting this idea that CoD is the only online game I've played? I've played BFBC2, SOCOM, Killzone, Ghost Recon, and plenty of other online games. I'm the one acting like some kind of topdog? What do you think that you're doing leaving comments trying to diss me out?

@taino1128 No I don't everyone who plays that game in that category. Just fanboys like you who defend Acti. because they own CoD. Face it little man, CoD is crap, has been since MW2. You obviously have no idea how great the game once was, otherwise you would see this for what it is. CoD isn't even one of the best FPS' out there any more. It's just one that knows how to get more players (I.E. the ease of MW2 compared to CoD4 and WaW. It's not even an interesting game to play anymore. There's no thrill to simply running blindly into a gunfight spamming grenades and the melee button. It's so copy and pasted from one title to the next. Play something with a little more tact. You'll find that those players actually have some form of intellect. Go ahead give Socom or GRAW a try you'll never look back. As for you BC2 statement. Really jumping that bandwagon too eh? Trust me BC2 is nowhere near the quality of BF2 or BC1. Stop acting like you're some kind of topdog, honestly you have no idea. Oh, and I qualify big boys as those who won't buy into something simply because it has CoD or Acti. written on package. Here's to crossing your fingers, hoping, and praying that Respawn will give us players what expect out of them in terms of a quality FPS.

@another_drew agreed although the game is good at what it does the people playing are childish, takes away the whole tactical part of the game because of children shouting incoherently, bring on BF3 i say

@another_drew So what is your definition of a "big boy?" Somebody who plays BF? I actually used top play BFBC2 and there are plenty of those annoying little kids and teens on that game. And you said that most CoD fans are ignorant tweens. So, you just put everybody in a negative category because they play a game that's more popular. You're not being ignorant?

@taino1128 you forget most of the CoD freaks are a bunch of ignorant tweens. Sadly teenagers these days do no know what makes a game truly good. After all these newbs jumped the bandwagon and picked up MW2, Acti. had their cash for future titles pretty much in the bank. like Cowboy-Bebop said. Let the big boys play BF3. From the sound of things, you my friend are not one of those "big boys."

Elite as if there is anything elite about it.

LOL. MW3's preorders are ahead of Black Ops. So much for nobody getting MW3 and everyone buying BF3.

Only an idiot would order this crap. I guess it would be all those who loved the arcade no skill MW2. Oh well, let them play this so the big boys can play BF3.

Play for campaign but boycott the multiplayer.

Who is preordering MW3...I don't get it. Have you people not played the slop that is BO? I loved MW2, but IW is gone, wait for legit reviews (ie non-payed for gamespot reviews) before you even consider buying this...

1 millions registered for the elite package beta? The days of free Call of Duty are officially behind us.

@BARBECUEDBABIES thanks so much for pointing out its optional. i had no idea paying £8 a month was not compulsory. I guess I have egg on my face.

I know and understand that Activision is itself a business and it needs to make money and grow and all.. but they should at least consider how much we, the buyers of their games, have helped them along the way to gaining so much money (including the 1 Billion+ revenue per CoD game they've managed to achieve). In my opinion, the LEAST they could do is make Call of Duty: Elite free... which we all know won't happen *sadface.

@LordXerud now now no need to be like that when its optional, it's not like you have to use that feature, just go "f@%# yourself" and play as normal

This would be cool.......if it was free! And I'm guessing that theatre will no longer be free. A lot of people use it on black ops so I guess that will be the carrot to dangle to make people pay. I've signed up for the beta but if they think I'll pay to take part in a beta or when the service is fully up and running, they can go f@%k themselves......

Oh look a COD MMO. Pretty much what Modern warfare 2 was.

Modern Warfare, the overrated half of the CoD franchise; they don't advance the series at all. Modern Warfare 2 was worse in almost every way to CoD 4, atleast Treyarch made an effort with Black Ops. That said though, Battlefield and Killzone are better.

like were gna pay for this cra'p Activision

is that Steve-o????

This is some hardcore fun..... :D

i cant see why people dislike COD series and now i see why and its a shame people need to stop making a complete deal out of COD series just saying it like it is, i am on no game side i just a gamer i dont care that battlefield series is better and i dont care that call of duty is better there both are good game and this elite i dont see why people making this a complete deal at all

If they make it so the only way you can get on dedicated servers is to pay $8/mo. Activation can suck it and I'll switch to being a Battlefield fan instead. Too many hackers on PC.

is MW3 going to have demo

Of course it will sell more than black ops. This is how it works: MW2 sold the most. Then Black ops sold the most, and now MW3 will sell the most. And then the next CoD will sell more than that. And this CoD Elite is just another seamingly useless piece of trash so they can suck out money from all the fanboys. And they will probably add something like the Battle Code for homefront.

If I get MW3 its only going to be for the campaign. If we support their decision by buying this service, we will only be making the gaming industry more money oriented and soon us consumers will be forced to pay more for every game and then we might have another collapse of the gaming industry.... Lets not let this happen and not buy and more DLC or services from CoD and when MW3 comes out, I suggest if you want to play the game, buy it used so they don't get anymore money

Boycott the elite beta!

yeah nice stuff indeed... COD MW3 sounds great...

yeah.... fine stuff...

Why be so proud for being the most preordered game? That means it has got successful advertisement, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a good game. I mean...just take Black Ops for example, lol.

Watch and learn, Battlefield.

I have been a major Halo fan since 2001. Until about 2 years ago when my friends kept hounding me to play CoD with them. Well I have to admit I am hooked on CoD. However Bungie.net is free. See where i'm going with this. How about a "Thank-You mister gamer for making CoD a billion dollar juggernaut" (see what i did there)
