how many people here are going to renew their Elite sub?

anyone?

*tumbleweed*

I cant even remember the last time I went into Elite, its just an unused icon on the xmb these days.

One of the biggest regrets I have was wasting the extra money on it for maps I can't get a game on, through to clan ops that rarely happen and when they do are in game modes that I don't play, at times in the night when I'm too busy hitting prostitutes in the mouth with a sock full of door knobs.

Although saying that, I did like the map packs on blops and Treyarch generally put things together better,so hopefully Elite might actually work this time around and be worth the money.

I don't have it now but if BLOPS2 maps are good I'd consider it for the DLC

I'd be a cheerleader for Elite if they actually gave the community BLOPS and W@W map lobbies to Premium Members. They'd already have our money so no need to worry about DLC sales dropping.

They could also incorporate some kind of clan integration. They could really take a few tips from the FIFA franchise with leagues etc. Perhaps install some kind of betting MLG pro gamer system where money/prizes can be won. That would take the series to a whole new level - I believe Treyarch actually said they're looking into MLG. The Professionals haven't seen COD as a great platform but that could change...

We should also get mod tools with Elite or some kind of map editor. They're going to have to offer us something, Elite could be so much more than just a load of ould stats that get boring after 10 seconds. Besides, didn't BLOPS give us all these kinds of stats for free?!

Agreed but there's no way we'll see Respawn Entertainment made maps in a Treyarch game. I wanted COD4/MW2 maps in MW3. But Treyarch should definitely put their older maps into BLOPS2 - Cliffside, Summit, Firing Range, Nuketown, Castle. They were great.

Haven't a clue but wouldn't have thought so

Kells... · 05-05-2012 7:48pm

I would imagine not tbh

Mr. Manager · 05-05-2012 8:08pm

Ah well. I was going to be a good Samaritan and pass mine to someone who might actually use it.

Thought that counts an all that

I wonder were the blops maps as bad as everyone let on or was it just a result of the bad graphics making people think the maps were bad?

some were good, Hanoi is possible the most boring map on any fps I've ever played. Nuketown and Summit were both awesomethe one with the rocket was ok, they're not a patch on COD4 and MW2 though

That guys voice annoys me. And also, he is most certainly wrong about those screenshots of maps being legit simply because the road is far too wide to be in a COD game.

Since when is the campaign in call of duty referred to as story mode?

A bit of a hissy fit going on a the moment...

Apparently, Infinity Ward are kicking up a fuss with Activision because a contract both parties signed stated that Infinity Ward were the sole development studio permitted to release a post-Vietnam COD product. As the world and his wife know by now, Treyarch have broken that going into the future.

Some people on Youtube are even saying BLOPS2 might be delayed because of this.. wtf?

It won't really delay anything, they'll just get money from it more than likely. If anything at all.

Ian7 · 10-05-2012 9:46pm

sounds like Publicity to me. Would be genuinely surprised if a contract stipulation such as the one they are suing over would be overlooked by Activision. Sounds like a pretty big stipulation to miss.

Not a chance of that happening.

It's the same as the No Russian scene. Newspapers and websites went around saying that there was an extremely controversial mission in the game that was violent and should be removed. So what does that do? Plasters CoD on all medias without a single cent of payment. Free publicity.

Bang on the money.

senordingdong · 13-05-2012 11:40am

Bloody nonsense.

Would have liked to see a modern warfare game made by Treyarch.

Can't wait to dolphin dive again.

You've got to wonder the thought processes was going on behind that division of CoD, Treyarch got the sh*t end of the stick big time by being so limited in future development but Activision would have had to rubber stamped it. Treyarch didn't really leave themselves with many options in how to advance their series but presumably wanted in on the CoD franchise enough to take the poor terms.

The article seems ambiguous in one area, were the terms of the contract drawn up when West and Zampella were still part of IW, and it's that iteration of IW they've broken the contract with? Or is it the present day iteration of IW that they've broken the contract with (a second lawsuit)? Either way it also shows a complete lack of adherence to a contract from Activision/Treyarch.

To be fair, that mission is training us all to be child murdering maniacs who don't know that murdering innocents is a bad move. :P
