(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Straight up I think the service has been shit so far. I can't get out any invitations for my clan, and the statistical data for my account status is all wrong (accumulated weapon kills, etc.), and I can't even send out class changes through the website.

They provide us with premium talk shows such as weapon/map guides and Elite TV, but half of it is useless and the other hardly matches up to anything of worth. Not only that, but for us PS3 users not only do we have to deal with shit like this but we also have to wait a whole-month gap for the DLCs. Oh yeah, and it's been almost 4 months since ELITE and yet no clan ops. Smile

I ask that they give us compensation, but I doubt anything special will happen except for maybe double XP. After all, that's all they have ever done for compensations. But hey, all this is my own personal opinion. I'm wondering what do you guys think. Any pros and cons to the Elite service?

If you plan to buy all MW3 map packs it actually works out cheaper to buy elite premium than buy them separately every 3 months. So yes i would say it's worth it.

You said elite PREMIUM, and now it has turned into what people hate about elite altogether.

From the premium side:
Yes it's been good.
Why?
Becuase im getting my regular dlc before other members. That is basically all premium is.


Then I hope this thread will stay on topic.
You might want to rephrase that to "premium xbox side," because a full monthly gap can make a big difference for some. Nothing can be changed to fix that, of course. Business is business, but business is also dirty (marketing profits). Nothing can change that.

You're Goddamn Right
i guess the maps alone make it worth it, but i dont use any of the other shit.
I hate the fact they false advertised the service - not mentioning anywhere about xbox users getting content first as im sure a lot less people would have subscribed.

I wouldn't be surprised. At least IW is smart enough to not do idiotic things to hamper their business. Regarding the timing of the map packs is another thing. By the time most of the map packs come out, many people will - probably - lose interest in the game. This goes especially for PS3 users who have that monthly lag gap.

complete waste of money. I don't even play the new maps.

Yes, discrimination, us ps3 gamers paid same amount that xbox users did for premium service, therefore the release dates should be equal, that contract should only be for non-premium members, and it can be argued, and look at the poll results, that's probably why most people regret buying elite.... Plus everytime new map pack video comes out, the video gets more dislikes than likes in just a few minutes, everybody bought it for free map packs, even you said it, you bought elite because you get map packs before EVERYONE else, that does include ps3 gamers, while we ps3 gamers, get it after xbox, which means that we paid for a service where we only get if before members on our console while xbox paid for a service where they get it before everyone instead of just people on their own console, so having activision say that we both get it before people on our own console doesn't get us even.


Firstly the reason the videos get more dislikes is because ps3 players are all butthurt about it. They may act like they dont care but actually they do.

Secondly Why Becuase you are paying for a service did you expect that to overwrite a contract which has been running for several years? No where did it state that it will do so and ps3 users basically "imagined" that they would receive it at the same time, even when it was not advertised to be that way.

Actually it was mentioned in several places that dlc would come to Xbox first e.g the elite FaQ page

Like I said, it could be argued, activison has been glorifying xbox, and not for several years, the whole time, before cod4, cod5 and even black ops came out, xbox version had beta , and even though they don't do that anymore, all of the trailers and gameplay they show before release date are for xbox, ps3 gamers never get to see the gameplay before release date unless someone gets the game early, then moving on, ps3 version of cod4 doesn't have trophies, mw2 comes out.. Early map packs for xbox, then after that we find out that mw2's graphics weren't using ps3's full potential and xbox's were better, they could have been better than xbox's because of the blu-ray and this has been proven, now moving on, in my opinion activision only cares about money and not their customers, why? Simple, everything I have just said above, and older cods were seriously hacked and iw, activison and treyarch are doing nothing to fix them, and yes mw2 is being patched, but the leaderboards will always be hacked.
