They won't lose people because people are stupid! But right besides than that!

No way in hell do I pay for this again next year.  They can try to justify it all they want, all it is is an overpriced stat tracker. And even that part of this piece of crap doesn't work right.  Everything about this years call of duty's products is a joke.  Still hoping they get sued for what they have(n't) given us.

Can you guys honestly see yourselves playing this game 9 months from now? I mean it's fun right now but I'd like to think there will be a lot of better games out by that point. I can't see making any sort of financial commitment to this game to be honest.

I'm undecided at this point. Pretty frustrated with Elite so far. Only plus is saving on DLC, but not even sure about that since they are only releasing 2 maps at a time.

Cod has peaked. Id bet anything the next game wont sell anything like they have done in the past. elite is a con unless you have a 360. if they couldnt give the people that payed the subscription equal treatment (ps3 and 360 owners) because of a deal they made with m$ then the ps3 owners should have had to pay as much. or they should have left it untill the deal was over. the way theyre doing it now is disgracfull and un fair.

I might by the next game for zombies if its included but other than that theyve taken the piss to much. not only do they half arse the games, build some new art assets and add a few lines of new or modified old code is called a mod anyone can do it, hence no real mod tools after w@w. but they have the nerve to complain about piracy even though they have the biggest selling game ever and send out a mod as a more than normal price game (not inc dlc)

**** em. up untill this game I was fine with what they were doing but now its gone too far. all they're doing is maximising profits in everyway they can.

The only way i'd buy it again, is if they do the same thing with DLC, and it works out as the same price, if they don't, then i wont simple as that.

A good thread, and this is my opinion on Elite. I feel there is some over zealous marketer who is hating himself either at beachead or IW or activision whoever was in charge of communication really screwed up. But, its an interesting platform that does enhance your COD gaming, not by much but it does. I find the 9 month DLC release is a good idea, but yea some mistakes were made and well that's part of business.

They will lose my $$ for sure, and i am trying to get my $$ for this years as well.

They lied to the PS3 users, Hell if i could i would return the game too.

I bought Elite to save myself money on the DLC i couldnt care less about anything else it offers. That said once Elite is 100% functional i think it might actually be a useful thing to have. As for the 360 getting DLC first anyone who actually bothered to check on the details would have realised Microsoft still have a contract with Activision stating they get the DLC first. That contract doesnt magically disappear because we paid for an Elite subscription, Ok maybe it should have been stated that 360 still got DLC early but in all honesty the Microsoft-Activision contract is common knowledge to most people so i can see why they never bothered saying anything i mean why bother telling people what they already know?
