Official poll, Will you re up your ELITE subscription?

Are you willing to pay another year for Elite.
My answer: No, at least not until I see some changes.
If they pay me I will.
I never bought it to begin with, and don't plan on buying it, especially after seeing their "monthly content drop" list. I just see nothing good about it, and all my friends who have bought it have said it wasn't worth it so far.
To me there isnt enough features that are exclusive to only premium. Just about everything I can do right now a free person can do.
No.
There is plenty of room for elite's services to improve. Additional stats to track, having elite built IN-GAME so you can see your opponent's kills with each weapon, and most of all--having available on the PC.
I like having the content already paid for from the beginning, rather than paying down the road like I used to. I know there's no difference in what I spend, but it's more convenient this way.
Plus, I heard that the "exclusivity contract" expires this year, most likely before Black Ops 2 is released (11-6-12). So that means, if I'm correct, that all platforms will receive map packs at the same time, except for premium members, who get it first.
So to answer your question, I say I will renew.

So basically your asking elite to be what black ops is. Black ops has all the stats already and we didnt have to pay for that. I am not going to be re upping my subscription at all. Every email i have sent regarding elite has been met with a useless un-informative reply. The best reply i have recieved has been that they are aware of the many bugs but this type of system is the first of its kind so its definatly going to have bugs. So basically we have paid to beta this elite service.
Here's what I summed up from the previous payments I made.
Black Ops Hardened (70) + 3 Map Packs (45) = $115
Modern Warfare 3 Hardened (including Elite Premium) = $100
So overall, I saved some money on that deal, and I don't have to worry about spending any more until late this year (November).

And technically you're wrong--we didn't pay for stat tracking. That's all free. PREMIUM members just get the map packs first, along with extra features. And the bugs for Elite are pretty much gone, plus we have our apps now. The whole service isn't perfect, but as I mentioned before, they can improve it.

got a refund, will not buy next year.... but!
i get the feeling this is still just ironing out the bugs, i bet next years Elite will be much better.... if black ops was the alpha test for elite, then MW3 is the beta.... they are still using you to test their service rather then develop and test it on their own time and buck
Not a cat in hells chance, I will never trust Infinity Ward again.
I will renew soley on the fact that I will get DLC cheaper, if you paid for reasons beyond that then lol's.
No chance! The fact that Xbox will have had two "content drops" before PS3 has even had one when the subscription charge is the same is an absolute joke tbh wish I had never bought the game I feel that let down by the service provided, Also the fact I told my friends to buy MW3 rather than BF3 which at the end of the day is a better game. The only reason I play MW3 now is the fact that this is the game my friends play... If I had been told that PS3 would be treated as an inferior to the Xbox I'd of saved my money!
Nope
Yes, BUT only (as mentioned above) the dlc is already paid for and I wouldn't have to fanny about depositing funds.
I will also get the dlc before non premium elite members on PS3 so that's a bonus! Plus it looks like I will get the content before non elite 360 owners, (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Has it been established if non elite premium members will get dlc monthly or have to wait for the usual 2 dlc drops?
As we all know the Elite service was designed on the back of a cigarette packet and will never interest me!
Realistically, the exclusivity agreement with Microsoft WILL be renewed, why would Activision not? It's a great money spinner and they can charge far more this time around. Microsoft WILL pay the price because it keeps people on the Xbox.
It makes no difference to me that Xbox get it 1st, I don't have one so why would it? Having a problem with this arrangement would be like owning an property in a deprived part of London and complaining to Boris Johnson that people in Chelsea have their bins emptied more regularly!
Daveo
No,i was expecting more,hardly anyone uses the elite playlists compared to the standard playlists,i prefer to wait for a map pack bundle.
Also,elite is utter crap,crap prizes with more chance of winning the lottery,i will not be paying next year,thats if i buy another COD,unless they overhaul the entire game series.
Canceled my preorder as soon as I found out ps3 elite members would not get dlc at same time as 360 elite members. Also decided to just skip out on all map packs for this game.
So basically. Never had it and never will get it unless ps3 elite members get the same benefits and timing as an xbox elite member.
They would have to add clan ops, fix the theator mode (videos never showup till like two weeks later), and other bugs.
But hey its a new service, its not going to be perfect. In its curent state, no. I would not pay again, but I might if it makes alot of improvement.
getting the dlc early is great .. but half the ppl didnt buy it so its gonna take forever to get the new maps into certain game modes ( like dropzone ). i am already tired of the new maps and just waiting on the next stuff to drop. sucks for when ppl are just getting them for the first time and most of us know all the maps and where to hide. also it seems to seperate alot of the players from one another because while we will be on "elite playlists" for so long all the other ppl are just playing regular game modes.
God no.
In fact after this, I won't be buying another CoD and hopefully another Activi$ion product ('hopefully' because I hope they don't take someones perceptions/ideas, which I'll like at the beginning, and see Activision destroy them).
Elite is just proof to how half-arsed ATVI are. As long as they get their cash, who cares? Right?
Going to rent the game first as my local video shop refunds the rental fee if I buy so probably wont get elite as my interest in the series has waned as its gone on,
i use a ps3... so no, if they still have the microsoft agreement for the next game. i'll pay for the map packs when they come out if they are good map packs. i don't see the value in paying for something ahead of time if it might suck just on the offhand i may save 10 dollars over a years worth of content.
If it continues to run as it does after the 1.12 update forget it. I WAS enjoying it up until then.
Now there is no point in me enlisting in operations because I can't kill anyone. There are no more gunfights, I'm dead the instand someone appears on my screen.
I'm really pissed off, and tired of Playstatioin getting ignored.
Was 1.12 the last update they did? maybe about a month ago?
If that was it then it messed me up pretty good too. Im like you, I lag all the time now.
No, I will not reup my elite subscription, because it is a giant waste of money. The elite playlists suck, and the maps are uninspired and terrible (to be fair, that's consistent with the base MW3). Also, the elite features aren't much to write home about.
It's a giant waste of money.
Off topic - how is this poll official when there are no voting options
On topic - not bloody likely.
I would like to remind everyone at this point that this was year 0 of ELITE. I was looking for early access to content and that is what I received. Other aspects were extras IMO. I would have gotten all the maps anyways and this way I was able to see them earlier and it actaully saved me a few dollars.
Who knows what 3arc has in store for ELITE premium users. Dare I speculate? Dare I say a beta for ELITE users?... Who knows. I would like to see a reduction in cost for people who are renewing though even if its only 5 or 10 more dollars off the price from last year as a loyalty bonus.
I will only if elite has to do with black ops zombies, if it doesnt, probably not

Didn't and won't buy it. It's as frustrating as what they've done with the lag compensation. You get maps early and save a few dollars but since no one has the maps you can’t play them like you want. Even now that the Collection 1 is available to everyone matchmaking cannot find anyone for me to play with that has the maps. Which brings me to another annoying thing, the pop up asking me if I want to disable DLC. It comes up every couple of minutes, even if I'm in a lobby waiting on one more player. If it didn't like my answer the first time then why ask me at all?
I'm starting to question the legitimacy of the total number of players online in the MP menu too. So NO, I wont re-up/ buy elite or purchase another COD until the lag/sync issues are fixed.
Every COD is going to have Elite more and more integrated into it, so basicly if ur gunna stick with COD ur gunna buy elite.
So Yes ill renew it and ill be happy about it.
Depends up the ammount of content for the next game and if I think it is better to get elite to save the money on the content aka dlc.
I never bought elite for clans because I do not care about clans and think they should just be dropped from elite completely in the next iteration of it.
And this is not really and official poll, because only the mods or devs can create offical polls on this site.
