I like that theory. I would have liked it much better if they'd have actually been active the whole time (considering they spend, what, about three minutes a week posting ops for MW3?).

Damn it man, you had me going there for a second, I thought you had an update when I saw your thread pop up

In all seriousness though, no response as you stated.

For some reason I think MARCH is the golden month for a few reasons.

1- It is when Clan operations took place for MW3 and started on a weekly role. They had 2-4 in February but 2 were canceled or didn't go as planned. Any way, March was when it really took off.

2- It is the projected end date for paid premium service on MW3 and could possibly be the end of operations and challenges for MW3

3- 1 and 2 make me believe March is the golden month. If no updates to Elite or communication about Elite from Activision and Beachhead are announced then I believe things will stay as is.

Almost a month to the day when I started this thread and there has not been one response from any of the parties responsible for the farce known as ELITE. Is Beachhead still running ELITE? Who knows. Will ELITE keep going after Black Ops 2? Who knows. (And at this point, who cares. They've burned way too many bridges with gamers that wanted something better.)

That would be a total slap in the face if true. And would only ruin their reputation more than it already is (and it is getting pretty bad very quickly at the moment).

This happened to my clan also. Probably every clan!

By now everyone affiliated with Elite knows about all the issues. As no official statement/acknowledgement has been made, it makes me wonder if they even intend fixing Elite in it's form.

When I last spoke with Customer Support (not getting any substantial answers), I did ask this, With all of these problems is Elite going to cease to exist? They answered No!, Elite will continue to be around for some time to come with future COD titles, in some "form".

This makes me think that they are not working to fix Elites' current problems. IMO They are only working to keep Ops and Challenges running until the next COD title comes out. Then a different version of Elite will be released. Hopefully a version that keeps accurate stats.

I hope they don't try to include our current and past stats from BO, MW3 and BO2. Why should they? They are all corrupt and would just corrupt any future version of Elite.

BH or whoever, PLEASE GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME!!!

On top of that, the previous weeks challenge (Zombie Kills) ended up awarding based on total career headshots. Check your numbers if you don't believe me. As the week was progressing it was showing total kills up until awarded at which point it awarded based off of headshots.

This last week's weekly challenge, the zombie headshots challenge... HBI was credited (and I mean the ENTIRE group of us) with each of our lifetime total of headshots an hour in. ELITE is not just broken, it's getting WORSE.

It's amazing to me that NO ONE from Activision or Beachhead has even posted anything here. It's gone from bad to worse since I first started this thread. The "glitch" has become a virus that eats anything that they post (op OR challenge). Elite is in dire need of attention.

I was kinda hoping that that wasn't the way it was, with BH I mean. I can see it being that way though.

For the record last year support was active on the forums, that's how we resolved issues. They do read them but they choose not to help because they can't. They are in the dark just as we are.

Re: Beachhead Studio-- M.I.A. (And Activision is fine with ELITE as is)

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:07:59 GMT

And on a good note, the COD forums work well!

Thank you for your reply. I myself had "bought" into Elite Premium before MW3 was released. I have put up with buggy softtware for a long time. that's why I started coming to the forums, only because of the problems surrounding Elite and trying to find answers and more info.
I called them for the first time day before yesterday and was simply giving them the benefit of doubt or the time to even look into my cases/issues that I'm currently having. These recent issues are the worst ever that I've had to deal with from Elite. I mean even today they effed up our Clan Challenge scores from the beginning of the competition by starting off two clan members with close to 2,000 DOM caps each. This happened as soon as the competition started today. Sure it gives us GOLD in the end. But I want it to be correct so we can actually compete with other clans, so it can be a real "Challenge". As it stands right now, no clans ranking is correct, it can't be. But we still love the structured competition that Elite offers. Elite is an awesome "concept". I love the idea of clan ops and challenges. But man they effed up something along the way. Elite with MW3 was very buggy. Now though, the key foundation(scoring), is broken, not buggy. I hope they can fix Elite. The longer things go like this the less likely it seems.
I know Customer Support is in the dark for the most part. But it is the closest I can get to talking with BH. I feel that talking about on here can't fix anything. It just let's us voice our complaints. Changes are they will never see any of this forum. Reading this forum is not what they do. If you want them to be accountable you need to talk to them not the forum. I don't know how to contact BH, Customer Support is as close as I can get. If you or anyone else know how to contact BH directly let me know, I'd love to talk to them and try to get some answers. But sometimes we don't like the answers we get and that would probably be the case with BH's answers.
In the end all we can hope for is for Elite to fuction better than it does now. It will never be perfect, nothing ever is perfect, is it!?

Good luck to you hearing from Elite.
BTW, I did send them a link to thread on here that has the issues numbered teeling them they need to read it, for what it's worth.

I second that

edsback41 you really have to understand one main issue. That's why most of us " veterans " on Elite gave up on seeking help by calling, twitter, facebook,etc. Support ( by phone,twitter,etc.) is not well informed and is left in the dark. All the responses you get are not correct. Until an OFFICIAL response is made by Beachhead or Activision, all responses and open/escaled tickets are USELESS. Sorry, I am not trying to cut you down here. I am being honest with you. We have dealt with this garbage for over a year.

I guess I could spent hours of my time on forums wasting time complaining to cyber space.
Where are they?, probably working on fixing the problems with Elite if they can.
They are not scouring the forums looking for every possible complaint they can find, that's for sure. They be fools to waste their time doing that!
All I know is that if you want something done, you have to take the time to get the answers you're looking for. That's what I will continue doing. I wish you luck!

I'll be completely honest... Had I spent an hour and a half on the phone trying to get things regarding ELITE done and got the answers you did, I'd be mad as hell. What they told you means nothing. If Beachhead is still in control of ELITE, then WHERE ARE THEY? Why is that phone call necessary? Why can't they respond or at least show some semblance of life at all? Your call just leads me to ask MORE questions. If that satisfies you, then it was worth it for you. I'd be even worse after I got off the phone with them if I got crap answers like that after investing an hour and a half of my time.

I asked a lot of questions. Though what promted me to call was missing or incorrect Clan Op and Challenge scores.
They sent all of the info from these competitions and forwarded it to BH to expedite the scoring errors. Of course I haven't heard back yet, it will still take some time I imagine. But it's better than filling out an online form. The status of my issues did change from "unresolved" status to "Escalated". However, I was told that the Clan Challenges are still "BETA". I think that is BS. And since they are BETA they are not and cannot do anything to fix those issues. If it's BETA, why does it negitively impact my clan leveling up when they don't credit some clan members scores to the Challenge? They couldn't answer that one.
Like I said I ask a lot of questions and was happy overall with the answers. These other questions were about cheaters, game play and general questions about BO2.
I had also heard rumors that BH was no longer heading up Elite and they going to hire another company to fix Elite. That's not true. I was told Customer Support still sends our issues and concerns to BH.

Just take the time to call and ask your questions get some answers and a better understanding of what is going on in the COD world.

Speaking of time... I had 29 callers ahead of me. It took just over 20 minutes to get to talk to someone(Also, they are American and easy to understand). I wasn't rushed with my questions. In fact, they were on the phone with me for over an hour and twenty minutes answering all of my questions as good as they could.

I don't ever recall seeing too many of those. I wouldn't mind seeing them. However, they have to actually release something in order for that to be effective and useful .

remember the monthly build notes they posted a few times during mw3? i would link to one but i guess they would rather I didn't, they even had for a little while a "community manager" on twitter, excellent for about a month or so until he quit

Re: Beachhead Studio-- M.I.A. (And Activision is fine with ELITE as is)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:32:00 GMT

Have a look though the old mw3 forums for an example of what I speak

EDIT: i hope they don't delete this, they have a habit of doing so to stuff they would rather forget but!!! here you go, this is ofcourse when we had the pleasure of paying..for the displeasure so i guess they were obliged
