After weeks of rumors, Call of Duty: Elite has finally been announced, detailed and trailered! A while back it was announced that a newly-founded company called Beachhead would be working on a project that enhances the online experience. Today that project was officially unveiled to the world. A beta will be launching this Summer and we've compiled all the details, screens and trailer here for you. Sign up to participate in the beta that kicks off in Summer on the just-launched official website » and view the press release ». The press release confirms that it's developed from the ground up by Beachhead and offers "cutting-edge features that significantly enhance the franchises' multiplayer experience" as well as "a new level of social engagement that will unite more than 30 million players worldwide." "The average Call of Duty player spends 58 minutes per day playing multiplayer. That is more than the average Facebook user spends per day on Facebook. And yet, right now, there are very few tools to unite and super charge that social community. Whether it's allowing you to connect with your friends, or people of a similar skill level, people who live in your city, people who share your favorite passions, join competitive clans or social groups, or upload, view and comment on the incredible mass of player-generated content, or watch and comment on exclusive created content, Call of Duty Elite will give people more ways to connect with fellow players than ever before. Elite will also allow players of every level to improve their game with an intuitive suite of tools, and compete in tournaments for both real and virtual prizes." "Call of Duty Elite has been tailored for Call of Duty's diverse base of players — hardcore gamers, casual weekend warriors and even beginners — and additional features will be revealed when we premiere Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer later this summer. Over 7 million gamers play Call of Duty online each day logging hundreds of hours of multiplayer per player per year. Of course, the out of the box Call of Duty multiplayer experience that gamers have come to love and expect will continue as is. However, for those players looking for more, Call of Duty Elite will supercharge their experience." - Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing Elite is said to include 'several industry-first innovations' and will offer two-way communication between the service and the game, meaning that the choices and decisions that players make in Elite will affect their in-game experience. The press release then states that it will be fully integrated into Modern Warfare 3 and will launch alongside the game on Tuesday 8th November, 2011. There are three ways in which Elite's features and services will engage the community: Connect: Elite will further connect players from all of the world. Players will be able to compete against friends, players of similar skill levels and players with similar interests, join groups, join clans, and play in organized tournaments. Players will also be able to track the performance, progress and activity of their entire network in the game as well as on mobile and web interfaces. Compete: On the competitive side of things, players will have available a constant stream of events and competitions which are tiered to group them with those with similar abilities. In-game and real-world prizes will be rewarded to all skill levels. Improve: Not so good at the game? Elite can help improve that, just like a personal online coach! Players can use a dynamic strategy guide that tracks statistics and performances down to the most minute details. You can also compare the statistics to friends or other gamers in the community. Tools are information are provided so that you can learn and up your game. Elite will record a player's gameplay history in a cohesive career record that keeps track of every kill, every game and progress. In case you thought that you'd have to pay for all that, think again. While there is an additional fee, the majority of features are FREE! If you want more, then you can purchase a premium membership that will include a wide range of state-of-the-art-services, exclusive entertainment programming and all-inclusive game content. You'll be able to access Elite through web browsers, mobile devices, games consoles or the game interface. It will launch with Modern Warfare 3 in November but sign up now right here » to be in with a chance of playing the public beta on Call of Duty: Black Ops this summer. Bare in mind that you will still get a full game whether you have Elite or not. Multiplayer is and always will be free to play! Elite is simply a new way of enhancing your experience if you want, rather than restricting users who don't sign up to it. It's optional and is perfect for those who love stats, tournaments, connecting with friends and much more. Downloadble content such as map packs can be bought through the service if you're a premium member, but it's not known what the difference would be. Perhaps premium members can buy them at discounted prices or receive them early, but it is certain that those who don't have Eliite can receive DLC as normal. Not much details on the premium service are yet known. Be sure to check out the trailer below for a more cinematic, detailed look at what Elite is. Who knows, you may even get a Modern Warfare 3 sneak peek at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
