Its sad the amount of people that cheat in these games. These same people probably take the shortcut through real life too.

Good idea. But how about we have that work alongside clan ops? As in we have the clan ops but also this where members earn 5XP every win for their clan. So if there are 6 members on one team then they can be earning 30 clan XP a game. This way they don't earn too much XP and they aren't really wasting their time either. I can get about 6 games an hour which with a party of 6 can net us around 180XP for our clan assuming we win all our games. Over time this would definately add up and provide for a better way to level up clans. Just an idea..

Yes once again Wiggy was right I Bet if this was about lag comp or op weapons it would be 5 pages long. This really ties into the community aspect we all suffer because people cheat. Ban hammer comes down and people still do it. The problem is people have the theory the anti IW = I am cool(look at the trolls on RB twitter feed).

As far as elite goes is it will stay as long ad the cod titles keep coming for the simple fact is they have such a huge fan base they can do this. As far as it still not being fully functional and they have been beta testing it since June the problem is they couldn't fully beta test this without a functional game to go with it. This service is intergrated into the game and site which I not sure I have seen it to this level yet so I may be wrong but there is alot of new stuff to figure out. Now the only reason they didn't test it with Blops is simple. Fresh idea fresh start that way it is easy when every one starts at absolute zero to launch a new service but Blops had been out for 8 months come launch time.

Granted some stuff is frustration that it is not fully functional but I look at the positives that give me hope. Stat tracking( not 100 % but it tracks the most important stats), class modification from pc or smartphone. It also is focusing on clans and thou I did only one clan ops so far it was actually different and refreshing and brought a whole new aspect to clan play. Yes I have done GB and honestly this was annoying. The whole hopping everyone shows and kinda self policing was time that took away from my personal life. With clan ops they tell me the time and I do it in pub matches and it the fact that is a crazy goal that you need to do it keeps me versatile and makes me strategize just as much as GB. I do like GB for the matchmaking sometimes but clan ops is much simpler and while it took awhile for the xp to be rewarded when I did see the gold badge and xp it made me want more.

I just leave you guys this the service cost 50 dollars which came with all DLc for a year. So you save 10 get the maps early and never have to worry about ms points. So to me the elite service is a free service that provided me a discount on dlc. Plus I see alot of potential in this method but I know it isn't as easy to make a site intergrate almost real time with a video game. Sorry for long post my modem went up and the one they sent as replacement didn't work and my iPhone didn't let me log in til I cleared cache.

Sadly I am beginning to think you are right. The only problem is that since you know they made a TON of money on this they will be bringing it back with Black Ops2 or whatever the next one is going to be.

My hope is to get some sensible suggestions and feedback in regards to this issue. Elite is Most likely here to stay, so we might as well at least try to come up with some viable solutions/improvements.

as much as i would like to see elite being that Prem. service we always wanted truth of the matter it will never be lets face it its march already the beta started what last summer and was being developed what another year before that they have had the time and money just not the common sense to make this thing work they base the ops on a perfect world ( no boosters or cheaters)

The elite server alone lags like hell half the time lately i get some message about the site is overloaded i mean really i never had any of these problems with BattleLog ( bf3 stat server_) and thats a free site no they dont give u free maps or operations but hell has elite really gave us clan operations hmmm we get 3 they take away one and shut the hole thing down

Bottom line its march next cod will be here in 5 months maybe its time to just cut bait and find another thing to occupy our time n money because complaining to infinity ward Robert Bowling via Twitter and Sledgehammer Gets us no where

311 views and only 7 replies? There is something in what Wiggy says about the community, focus is on the wrong things. Seriously this is a PAID service that hasn't worked right since it began yet people are still more focused on making montages.

Imagine how much more fun and useful Elite could be if it actually worked right.

I agree on the ban thing my point is that as it stands now the whole process is agonizingly Sloooow. This I believe would cut down on the amount of boosters in general, thereby eliminating a lot of the crap they have to wade through.

I still say BAN hammer the boosters in moderation and after the X time caught they are done for good with operations. Thatll stop it.

Actually I don"t think it would take as much time as they are apparently spending on verification of the last op to implement this. Playlist changes are fairly simple as for the join and invite options that is also a simple thing if I remember correctly what Bowling tweeted a while back in regards to Mercenary and such.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

What your asking for is to spend time with more developing and such which would take time to do.

To solve it NOW when you go through the lists of clans that you find boosters BAN the clan and its users as a whole from operations for say a week for the first offense, then second offense is a month, 3rd offense is for rest of elite sub or a year or whatever. I dont buy the whole "we whouldn't be punished for what some members of the clan do..." spill as if you have clan members boosting there are two options....1) kick them from the clan, or 2) if you dont have that power then leave the clan.

OR they could take action themselves just ban the specific users caught in the clan from challenges competitions for certain time periods associated with # times caught boosting.

Until there are penalties and repercussions for this it will continue to be a problem and continue to take them forever to go through the lists and rule people out...

How about the add in that if a clan get caught for boosting once they get an automatic perma ban and can never do a clan op again. Would probly cut out thousands of clans.

Yes to not inviting friends or joining, No to re-matchmaking. Takes way too long to find a match with a full party as is.

How about this for a solution?

Scrap that crappy community playlist thing and plug in lone wolves and clan ops playlist. Make it so you CANNOT invite friends into your lobby or join in progress. Then force the lobby to end and re-matchmake every game. Sure it would slow things down a little but I think it would go a long way towards leveling the playing field.

Before you say it wouldn't be fair to people that like the community playlist, I say so what. As elite premium members that wanted these type of events we have been extremely shortchanged. This is a feature we were promised before the game came out. This community playlist bunk was implemented after the fact and I think a poor use of playlist space.

Thoughts?
