I think its worth saying that the basic version of Elite is free. That's why there are so many registrations.
This is a legitimate question. Not trying to start anything. How can you not get tired of a game series that releases every year? With sports games I just buy one new every three years and I got burnt out of COD after MW2.
Even if you wanted to play the campaign only, you can simply rent or borrow it rather than spend $60 on it. It's just a weird phenomenon that this series stays as popular as it is for so long.
I'm getting choked up just thinking about it, in fact I'm feeling a turtle head poke out right now. Still don't know where I was going with this comment, choking is just funny.
@Ace829 People don't buy it for the single-player, lol. It's whole selling point is it's multi-player, hence why people keep buying the latest version. To put it simply, once the latest version comes out then there will be an outflow of players from the older version and so to continue to play with family, friends and strangers you will have to purchase the latest version. In your case, people buy sports games each year to continue to play the multi-player. Another attraction to these sequels is of-course the new ideas and systems, for instance, weapon proficiencies, and also due to previous systems being refined, such as point-streaks.

So you're saying that people only buy the new COD because of the sheep and herd mentality? I'll take that.

So Battlefield gets overloaded and it means it's a shitty game with crappy servers, Modern Warfare gets overloaded and it's "wow, so popular! Awesome!!"
Destructoid, I am ashamed.

Only BF3 allows you to do this. FAILED.Sucks that people are wasting their money on this. I was really hoping this big F-U to the players was going to fall flat on its face.
Its optional now, but Activision has stated its going to be standard in a couple of games. With the success its having now, it won't be long until you need Elite in order to play the game online.
Meh. People get killed trying to cram asses into Walmart on black friday, so...
wait
I wonder how many of those people cramming ass into a Walmart door at 4am, stomping the pudgy faces of lesser shoppers as they fall beneath the reach of the flailing mass of arm fat that could serve as their only hope for survival, are doing so just to get their hands on a cheap copy of CoD.
For everything, turn, turn, turn.

Also, the service is free actually. If you want the maps and some clan stuff, you have to pay. I will say, I got this for the "season pass" part of it.

It does encourage them to keep investing in this kind of service. Wait I'm not sure if I care that Activision hires a bunch of people to run a social gaming service for people who want to pay for it. Infact I'm pretty OK with such a thing happening. Enjoy your jobs gentlemen and gentle ladies.
ugh this means every other game is going to have a payed thing like this now
thank you cod and your fans for further ruining the industry.

Gears of War 3 had a season pass. L.A. Noire had a season pass. A handful of other games have season passes. However, Call of Duty Elite gives you the added bonus of mobile phone support, cross platform support, videos, tips, and free TV shows on TOP of the discounted season pass content. That is all extra, and Elite saves you around $15 a la a season pass.
Elite is also completely optional. If you buy COD used, you can still play the multiplayer component 100%. It's not like, say, the gaming darling Uncharted 3, which has an "online pass", which requires you to redeem/buy it before playing online. Battlefield 3 is the same way - it withholds content from used buyers. COD does not.
Call of Duty is actually offering more than pretty much every other shooter out there right now, out of the box, and as part of an optional subscription fee.
It amazes me how much people hate on COD without actually knowing anything about the franchise whatsoever.

Paid subscription social networking sites for video games. =[
And the sad part is every other game publisher copies the trends Call of Duty sends out in to the public.
The future of games looks bleak to me.

@Magnalon I guess that sounds better than originally put.
I still think all these registrations and extra passwords aren't the greatest thing in the world.

I tend to agree. I'm pretty sure I won't be getting into the MW3 haze, if I can somehow convine my co-workers to get Battlefield.. but you know what would have frekin helped? If i was able to give them my copy for a night, and then they could actually SEE why it's an awesome game..
We all love to hate on the CoD machine, but you know, they DO at least do it best... I might dislike the future of gaming revoloving around dlc and seasons passes, however, they do consistantly support their game for a year, keeping it fresh with new maps, add to it that most of the people who sign up for this would have bought the map packs anyways, and I hate to say it, they ARE actually creating value for their customers...
if ya like the game, enjoy it... there's nuff games out there for all of us to have fun.

TellTale has been doing season passes basically since the company's inception. Season passes aren't really a new thing.
All they really are is a pre-purchase coupon. Whatever DLC that has been planned will be made, and released regardless of whether or not you have the option to but it at a bulk discount.

It's pre-ordering DLC + features that were usually outsourced to a community site before. I don't actually have a problem with that.

Elite IS fucking stupid.
Just so happens that there are a lot more stupid people on this planet than any other kind of person.

If you can get people to pay $120 for an already overpriced $60 product and they are successful? I say go for it. A fool and his money is soon parted.
