@DasPooch The embargo lifted on the new installment of the biggest franchise in gaming. Like it or not, it's huge news.
From what I've read, I understood Elite to be like a season pass with a bunch of extra features and that you do keep access to the content you get, even if you don't renew the service.
So, while the DLC itself may be great or a huge rip off, you do seem to get a lot of stuff versus just buying every single DLC separately.
But, really, how many people dedicated enough to buy that much DLC wouldn't jump on Elite any way?

@DasPooch: Sorry, no? Why would it be. Explain. Please. Seriously, explain. Tell everybody here how you wisely worked that one out. Who's pooper was I sniffing? Please, take my original post and show us all what we're missing.
Lol, this is genius. They're essentially making CoD fans pay at least $110 for a handful of new weapons, killstreaks and some new maps.
Who's going to bother with this repetitious shite now that Battlefield 3, RAGE and Skyrim are on the horizon?
Activison will release a new Modern Warfare next year anyway, just wait for that one. I am.

Exactly! It's hilarious, Steam's weekend deal has Modern Warfare 2 at £15, a special offer that I can refuse, thanks!
I do play and enjoy Call of Duty (360) but I'm no fanatic, this year there are plenty of absolutely stunning looking alternatives so my buddies can do without my 'l337 Skillz'
Let's see what sort of a Christmas run up we get next year eh, Activision? If there's a bit of a game drought on then you might be in luck!

Does whoever the fuck is making this game know that the Russians aren't Soviets anymore? Why is there a hammer and a sickle and not the white bue and red Russian flag?
if they made call of duty a subscription based game for maybe 2 or 3, and at most 5 bucks a month, and you DON'T have to pay the price of the game itself just the subscription fee, and ALL MAPS included in that subscription fee, i could see THAT being almost a good idea. but 5 bucks a month is the absolute limit for subscription fee, i will gladly pay 15 bucks a month for a giant and deep MMORPG, but not a simplistic multiplayer death match game.

Basically they have been raping us all on four, 15.00 map packs for years now. So basically they are coming right out and saying "Just pay us $50.00 for all these map packs and it's 10 bucks cheaper .... plus we will add in some weird video content being created by Hollywood talent like Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Tony and Ridley Scott. Also we will add stat tracking ability ala bungine.net and wrap it all up in a pretty package.
The only two features that I respect are the following . 1) If you do not renew the elite package you still get to keep all your crap (thnx playstation plus). 2) You can at least buy the Hardened edition of MW3 and get the elite pass free (suprised).
Still I will be voting with my wallet and not buying MW3, the community is horrendously horrible as is. Why would I want to invest so much time and money when it's filled with asshats galore?
Hate to make the draconian comparison that is FPS comparisons , but I will be buying BF3 even with the no mod / origin bullshit.

Well, realistically this is a lot more value for your money than the map packs were alone. This is probably one of axtivision's more generous moves... Relative to themselves, obviously.
The xbox users are the most affected by this. They have to buy the game, the have to pay for xbox live membership, they have to pay for their internet service plus have to pay for elite membership ufff... not a good deal at all.
Lol, only suckers pay for add-on maps. I could see 5 dollars max for each map patch what this is just crazy.
Wouldn't it be easier to just save the 50 bucks and buy the next Call of Duty that is bound to be released a year after this one?
Did you idiots not read about the Hardened Edition? That's 100$ so it makes that pack $40 for all map packs = $20 bucks off AND makes it the price of every other map pack for every other game.
After reading through all of the comments to this article, I ask, does anyone who commented even play Call of Duty or are you all just amateur trolls?
The value is staggering for someone, like myself, who enjoys shooting people in the face. The community might be horrible, but, for those of us who possess basic reading comprehension skills, the Elite system will take care of that. Being able t oplay in matches with like-minded people, setting up clans, catering the game to the way that I'd like to play...these are all excellent reasons for me to skip over the other game coming out this year. Not to mention the fact that I'll only have enough money after buying the Hardened edition of MW3 to get a burger at my favorite fast food place...I digress.
It's starting to look like Destructoid is full of xenophobic retards.
Play whatever game you think is hardcore, but don't come piss in my pool when I'm trying to have a good time. AND STOP DRINKING MY BEER!
Great job! Keep up the good work!

Other than the maps, you're paying $50 a year for a bunch of fluff that could already be done elsewhere for absolutely nothing.
"Strategies" (I won't even go there) that you could learn anywhere on the face of the internet and glorified Machinima videos. Wonderful.

Nope. Not buying. I won't condone this kind of bullshit. If they're going to charge an annual subscription fee, then make the game free.
You're paying $10 less for $60 worth of content, and getting it faster than non premium members. I don't understand all the rage
i think that they have just push a ton fans away because there after so much money tbh if they keep going cod will because the wow of fps and u see bf3 alot of content put it on 2 disks for the same price as a normal priced game plus there having there on online thing for free its not going to be whats better for the fans of fps its going to be how much will it cost in the long run
Ugg, not more money to shell out. <a href="http://www.noveltyphotogifts.com/">Novelty Photo Gifts</a>
If it was $20, I would be ok, but $50 is a lot. I will keep watching Destructoid to see if anyone can figure out a way to stop some of this madness. It will be a problem in the future if we can not.
