Call of Duty: Elite was met with some skepticism by some, but having witnessed a presentation during E3 of the feature set being offered to fans of the popular shooter franchise, we can say that it provides a fantastic way to connect with like-minded gamers, track your stats in numerous ways, and get your hands on all the DLC Activision has in the works.
That last point could be the most attractive one for avid Call of Duty gamers. If you subscribe to the new Elite service, which will offer plenty for free by the way, you’ll automatically get all the DLC. Activision’s Beachhead studio product director Noah Heller described the service as a great value; he said, “You’ll do the math and it’ll be a slam dunk.”
Activision has yet to disclose what exactly will come with the paid subscription, but that’s expected to be revealed in the coming months this summer as they unveil even more about Modern Warfare 3, which is intricately tied to Elite. Analysts have speculated that an annual subscription for Elite could be around $50-$60. If that’s the case and the typical Call of Duty DLC is $15, then we could definitely see how the math works out as a good thing for Elite, as Heller was alluding to.
