OK I raged about the spyware (oh sorry - "wrappers"), the DRM, the servers, but now I'm beyond rage. I've come to...humor...

How much more cock are these dipshits going to take? I'm just finding this to be fucking hilarious.

It will be even more hilarious when this sort of thing proves so popular that it appears in the next BF game...

Apparently quite a bit more cock. I for one and LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. Community features are a good thing dipshit.

You guys realize that part of Elite is free, right? They're not going to charge you for using a beta, and Elite itself doesn't cost money. It's some extra features that are a part of Elite that cost money, like training videos.

You think that Activision will do all this for free and then give away free map packs, then i guess COD lot are dumber than i thought.

ps. COD gamers must be dumb cos they will buy MW3 game that will use the same engine as the last and get the same multi-player and rave about it like it was something new.

Nope, I don't realize that and so far as I've seen there isn't any indication of what will or won't be part of the paid services, nor any indication that I've seen that any part of elite is going to be free. In fact the statement made by kotick about it seems to make it clear that NONE of elite is going to be free (barring the beta test).

The company hasn't yet decided how to set the price of the service, but said a number of the features -- groups and careers, for example -- will now be incorporated into the out-of-the-box retail experience going forward, free for all players. The rest of Elite will be positioned as a fuller-featured "premium experience," and Elite subscribers receive all forthcoming downloadable content and add-ons to Call of Duty games included with their subscription. Non-subscribers can still purchase them a la carte.
