Appearance wise, i'm not a fan of how much it sticks to Call of Duty. We on NextGenUpdate have plenty of good GFX Artist, who could make a better design in minutes. .
Content:
I can't really speak that much about whats inside Elite. However, based on the obvious, a lot of it has already been seen. Free Challenge lobbies, is kind of Overated. Most of us have already been in an a challenge lobby. But there is some light, logins for several services will be available. On top of that, i don't think contribution will die out. As opposed to private premium, we have event staff members dedicated to releasing tools, patches, and other good stuff. On top of that, if you are a fan of SEing, Guides are being posted. Therefore, you can make kind of a profit on Elite.
Permissions:
For starters, the elite box is real nice. You get a break from certain annoying members found in the regular shoutbox. However, one thing that i can already see being a problem is the ability to change username color. Two problems can arise from this. A user can impersonate staff and trick newbie members. Also, NGU will look like a ******* rainbow, if memory serves me correct a lot of people were complaining about so many colors in the SB that we made media instead of (green tut, pink YouTube, etc). Signature lines is a cool idea, and the rest im apathetic to.
Conclusion:
This is my non bias opinion on Elite. It could be a lot better. I have always liked the idea of having a group of good and efficient members (called Elite Members), and some cool version of premium (Premium+). Why? Because if X has 100 posts and donates 35$ to nGu, i don't consider them Elite. Anyways, Elite isn't that amazing. However, the admins are putting a lot of attention on Elite, so it could get better. At this moment , to me, Elite is NOT worth it. To me 25 dollars is nothing, I am 18 years old and i have a job. However, i know a lot of members are around 15. One thing i want to clarify is what is done with this money. A lot of people have an opinion that Outsider is buying an ounce of Weed a day, and 5 iPads. Obviously, Every month NGU makes its fair share of a profit. But expect nGu to have added features in the near future.
This is my opinion, and i have Elite unlike certain people who are complaining. Feel free to share your side of the story.

As of today, NGU Elite is now open to the public. So i wanted to make a thread of NGU ELITE, and i think my viewpoint is better compared to people who don't have Elite. The Benefits can be found You must login or register to view this content.. NGU Elite is around 4$ a month, 10$ every 3 months, or 25$ yearly. Im not a fan of big blobs of text so i will divide it making it easier to read.

If you dont have a paypal then your screwed, you can always use a prepaid card from 7-11. The other solution is making a paypal acc, stealing your parents credit card info and wasting it all before you get caught. :lol:

personally i dont think its worth it tbh because premium member is so pointless and has been for awhile and instead of trying to do something for us they bring this in to get more and more money. All the things that have been said should of just been put in for premium members anyway. I wont be buying it because i cant see it benefiting me also waste of money.

Im not going to say, fuck Elite, it has its benefits. However, i do comprehend your point and it is shared by several users of premium. As i did state in my thread i feel the the title of elite, should be for contributors and people who you see around often not 100 post Joe. Also, attention will be lost to the premium group (my predication). You are right, certain functions should have been shared with normal prem.
