Here’s the list of what you’ll get with Elite.
Elite is priced at $49.99, about $5 a month. It’s included in Hardened Edition for free.
Elite members get monthly DLC drops instead of 4 map packs. Basically, monthly drops over a nine month period.
Elite members will be able to participate in competitions for virtual and real prizes.
Elite members can level up their clans.
8 times more capacity for replays.
Access to high production analysis videos.
Elite TV where you’ll find episodic content from directors like Ridley Scott. Two shows have been confirmed:Â Cocked Hammers and Noob Tube.
not worth my money, theyll be lucky if I even purchase a single map pack
They’ll be extremely lucky if i even play their rehash not to mind pay for it.
“Elite members can level up their clans.” So instead of dedicated servers you give this crap?
Too much money. While COD and MW games are very successful I doubt they are successful enough to buy an additional subscription to play a single video game when you have all the other video games out there. I suspect it might work for a year or so then flop.
Fair assessment, but remember there are 25 millions players, so even 30% would be a success.
I have to say, this stuff should be free, the only thing I see there that is worth paying for is the extra video space, and that is because the developers have to buy hard drives to store the video.
They should make the maps for free, or make a map creator for players(console and pc). If you look at multiplayer games like left 4 dead, and counter strike, and even Far Cry 2, they all have map creators in which players can create their own map. It allows for much more content, and I will admit it’s not all great, but there are plenty of amazing maps made by players.
One concern I see arising from having a ton of maps is having the players split up between the overflow of content. The way to solve this is to highlight ten different maps each month that are very good. Then everyone will have great content that they can congregate within.
It just looks like another cash grab, and This seems like a lot to be asking especially for XBL users who already have to pay 60 a year to play online. Now they want another 50 for a few extra features. Seems like a rip to me.
