General Info
So it's the thing that everybody in the gaming realm has been talking about lately. Call of Duty "Elite", in Layman's terms this is a payed subscription that is between 5 to 10 USD, Activision clearly stated it "will be cheaper than 'Netflix'", and for me that is not a huge deal.
What Do You Get?
You may be asking, "What do you get for this subscription?". Well so far the details have yet to be revealed, but there are some things that have been hinted at. For example, the subscription will give you access to map packs, now I'm not sure if you can still purchase the map packs by themselves or not, but for me this is not a big feature of "Elite". The other thing that has been rumored is that there will be a Youtubeish website that is dedicated to Call of Duty videos, where you can take your captures from the game, and post them online. Also in combination with this there will be an exclusive blog where gamers can chat about what guns work with what attachments, and things like that. Further more, there will be a "Stat Central" sort of thing that is very similar to the Bungie website where you could view your stats and accomplishments within Halo.
The Bottom Line
So, do I think it is worth the cost? There is to little information to call it just yet. Since Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is not set to release until November, like all Call of Duty games, the date is to far off to tell. I am sure that down the road Activision will release more details, and more features that will entice gamers to sign up for this subscription based service. My one quandary that I have is that the replicated Youtube will not be a huge success. I feel this way because there is already a huge user base on Youtube, so why would people move to an alternate website, when they could just stay on one website and get all sorts of content.
So basically activision/treyarch is trying to suck the every loving last cent out of your pocket with this cod piece of shit 3 installment and blops. The reason this is a big deal which you seemed to miss is that it will be the first FPS to ever have a monthly subscription fee for things that should be free like stats and clans and shit (look at cs source for a good example of what shit to include in a game). So as the money giant rears its ugly head and sucks your nipples for every last cent you had just think, "Hey atleast they included clans."
