Of course, it's just sad that people will pay for it, giving them more reason to go even further with their ideas like this.
COD ELITE is free, for all players, some paid aspects TBD. Absolutely NO fee to play #MW3 multiplayer. Detailed reveal coming tomorrow AM.

It's hardly surprising ... Kottick has had a hard-on for online subscription models ever since his company has had its money-grubbing hands on Blizzard (those bastards). It was only a matter of time until something like this happened.
Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game
Because "realistic" doesn't quite describe just exactly how realistic that franchise is. It is in fact, "hyper-realistic" and thus more realistic than reality!
It can also be used to test and experiment with tactics and theories because it is a combat-simulation!

Ahem... I lol'd
Sigh they're going to be trying SO hard to make this seem cool and not a rip-off. Sadly they will succeed, since they already have a dedicated group of fans that are committed to buying the same game year after year.
