So can anyone tell me what Elite is so I don't have to watch an awful YT vid?
It's bungie.net + steam community for CoD. Stats, info, replays, level heatmaps, groups, clans.
Aw what...?
You mean the maps that have the little blips showing where you and everyone else died during a match are premium content now? (Those are heat maps, right?)

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

Yup.
So, basically, all that stuff you used to get for free, and all that stuff you get for free from Steam and Bungie and EA you now have to pay for, monthly, at Activision.
You also get the DLC maps without having to buy them separately, but surely they're subscription based only and the moment you drop your sub you lose access to those maps.
If I can't see my K : D ratio, I can't stress about it, thus probably enjoying the game a bit more. I've also never purchased a single piece of CoD DLC, so I'm good there too.

Maybe, they haven't revealed which parts of elite are free and which are pay.
Personally it all seems kind of silly to me either way, CoD is so far from being a supremely balanced and tuned e-sport that this kind of info overload just seems irrelevant and/or useless. For something like a Starcraft? Sure, this kind of thing makes sense. But CoD? Not so much.

Wait. I seriously doubt they're gonna hide K:D rates behind a pay wall. That would be... dickish.
According to an article that was posted in one of the two CoD threads, I don't recall which one, everything that they have so far listed for CoD: Elite is all free.
Who knows what they plan on charging for, but supposedly all the stat tracking shit, leagues with prizes shit, clan shit, all is supposed to be the free version of Elite.
If you don't pay them, you only get five bullets for all guns, ever for the entire match. When those run out, you are limited to your knife, and that has a limit of 10 stabs.

Team perks could be cool. But if I'm playing with anyone other than PA peeps the chances of my team members actually playing as team plummets considerably.
Also, no Nuke FTW

Lastly, if you're hoping for dedicated servers, you may want to sit down: looks like they're still out, as they were in MW2.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You know what, fuck it. Hype get. As much as the non-dedicated server thing sucked for MW2, it was still fun. I can live with the "3lit3" package shit, I can live with this... so long as they prevent the hijinks that ruined the PC experience (those of you that survived that... you know what I mean).
At the very least Jaunty and I can wreck some shit in Spec Ops again. So there's that.
will spec ops be pay to play or is that just multi? i've been playing tf2 for so long and i want to switch to a real fps but i dont want to have to pay subscriptions so i guess ill just play battlefield?
goddamn not having a mic is killing me
I'm looking to pick one up for under $30, $40 if it's a headset, what should I be looking for? Recommendations plz

My Turtle Beach x11 set works great. It hums sometimes if I am charging the controller at the same time, but it is not that bad, especially when you are playing.
I think they are about 55$.

and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say
I do need the final tier of Spec Ops done on Vet eventually, though. All I need for 100% - achievement-wise, at least.
I beat all the spec ops earlier this week. The first one on Echo is a bitch, we beat it and then accidentally shoot the Ho's at the end, or the explosives. Had to work our way through about 20 times to get it right.
edit: only 3 seconds off the infinity ward best time for the juggernaut only explosives level. If I hadn't had to duck for cover that one last time we would probably have the record.

Sounds pretty much ideal, do you know if they are PC compatible?
Edit: found them on amazon and apparently it's all good, most excellent.

It seems to be the Bungie Halo website, but for COD.
Profile pages. Post screenshots / replays. Player stats.

Well, at least they did something right.
If...the rumor is true that is.

and it looks like it's getting beefed up, too, so double-yes.
:winky:
But, no, spec ops and multi are supposedly free.
