how many collections are there gonna be 3 or 4 tops?
if 3 x 1200 each = 3600 msp
if 4 x 1200 each = 4800 msp
so WTF its the point of buyimg elite premium just play the maps before?!
im not buying at all another year of premium elite, in fact im trading this game and getting Battlefield 3
You do realize that microsoft points don't equal dollars, right? 4800 microsoft points is $60.
yes i realize that i payed my premium elite with 4800 msp and/or 60 dlls
You didn't pay 60$ for ELITE, you payed 50$.
Everyone loses when you try to reason with idiots. Old folk saying. Possibly applicable.
$40, if you bought Hardened. :]

You realize that its 50 US dollars, he could be from another country, it could have cost him more...
The cost is still relative. It does not matter what country he is from.

UM no it is not, get out of your bubble. Each country has their own currency that is worth more or less than US currency, I am from Canada, and a few years ago when our money wasnt on par with the US, something that was 15$ on XBL would actually cost me like 18$ Canadian, now that our dollar is worth the same as yours, it is the same.
Someone from a country with a smaller economy could end up paying alot more than 50 dollars of their own currency for elite, do you understand? You must have been taught this in the school right? Maybe not.
Elite cost 4000 microsoft points, 4 DLC packs cost 4800 microsoft points. Which is less?

Im not arguing which is less, Im just pointing out the fact that you had no idea what you were talking about when it comes to someone from another country ends up paying for elite in their own currency.
Ha. Relative...what the heck does that word mean?
It is still relative in a way. They will adjust the prices for each country. Also, Elite will be a better deal no matter where you live. Did you go to grade school or even realize how basic marketing works? Activision wants everybody to purchase an Elite membership so they will make it cheaper than the collections that are sold separately in the long run. If you don't think that to be true than go ahead and buy the collections, but you will be losing money. There will be four collections just like for every other Call of Duty game from Modern Wafare 2 on.
So you are upset that you paid $50.00 in advance? The price of a map pack equates to about $15.00. There will deffinatley be 2 packs coming out. That is $30.00 and most likely there will be a 3rd. So $45.00 in total. So you are upset that you wasted $5.00 on elite. Is it that big of a deal? Do what i do and make the most of it. Enter the competitions, get into a clan and have fun with it.
He has every right to be upset about wasting $5. Every dollar helps. Also you say make the most of Elite and get into a clan. Elite is broken and not even worth $5. $5 is $5 it aint make or break but every little bit helps
Sorry i dont feel the way you do. Everyone has there opinon. Yes elite is not up to snuff. I will not renew my membership in all likely hood. But for the $50.00 i spent, i am still getting all the DL content that i would still pay for. The only difference is i got it early. If you had time to come to these forums to post, Then you are most likely a fan of COD and are going to buy the DL anyway. So stop complaining.

Touche lol
hmm u most be an xbox fanboy. It all makes sense now. Run along kiddy.
yes...yes i am a xbox fan boy. But a kiddie i am not.
Wrong.
There will be 4 map packs or more. $15 each, $60 or more total.
The problem with Elite Premium isn't the value for the money, it's that they set expectations too high for what you get beyond the DLC. That stuff is not worth much. But the DLC will more than make up for the cost or premium.
I paid 40$ extra for the hardened edition. There will be at least 3 map packs. maybe even 4. So I either saved myself 5$ or 20$ since I buy every map pack anyway.
Ok have they release the map pack price yet or are we just going by past price scale that only carried maps. If we get 4 maps and 2 new coops that means they could also charge 1400 ms points.
They have released the price and it's $15 (1200pts):

There will definitely be 4 DLC collections (possibly more) and they will cost the equivalent of US$60 (or more).
Also, buying Elite Premium will definitely cost you less than all DLC collections purchased separately.
When I bought my game I got 2000 ms points for a fiver at Tesco .Spent a 1000 on my avitar and other stuff and kept the other half for elite saving my self a pretty penny .Who says the Scottish are tight lol.
Aren't the packs rumoured to be 1600 points? I don't mind either way, as I get my points direct through Microsoft (via work) and they cost me £3+VAT for 2100 points. I got Elite for just over £7. ![]()
It's goint to be 3 DLC Packages. March, June and September. Go here and do the math yourself: http://www.callofduty.com/contentcalendar
Only thing that hasn't been talked about is the price. Given that evry drop at least contains 4 maps and 2 missions they might raise the price to 1600 MSP.
Everyone is basing Elites map packs as the whole cost, seriously with the clan matches and other enlistments for prizes add into the cost of it as well. Yes non premium members will get the maps but they don't get all the extra's. They chose the mustang with a 6 banger instead of the GT.....
just my 2 cents
I don't think you're right. They are releasing 6 "pieces" with the current collection, and if there are 24 total pieces they'll just group them in 3 more collections of 6 each, for $60. They're not tied to releasing collections once every 3 months.
I swear I read something from either IW or activision saying the drops separately would cost $60 total, but I can't find it anymore.
And the price for collection 1 is $15 for sure.
I am fed up the way companies milk and milk things. They should release a game and then move on to the next one. I am fed up with add on this and add on that, map packs blah blah blah. I regret getting Elite, it as far as I am concerned was a waste of money.
I love MW and hated Black ops.
The single player mode on MW3 sucks and the online experience is not I feel as good as it should be.
I shall not be buying Black ops - because it will suck just as much as the last one. I think I will rent a copy if there is another MW, before I commit to buy and I will not be buying any add ons ever again...
It wants to be 1200msp. I'm not that bothered about the map packs as it is. But if they are going to charge 1600msp, they can forget about it!
They should just charge per map, so can buy the ones you want and not have to waste money on spec ops that your never going to play. £3.50 a map. Every one's a winner.
there are going to be 2 more map packs 1 august and 1 september
lol they messed up the order we allready got some maps from the 4th pack ![]()
maps packs were half price off in July I think.. so yeah.. Elite must be hurting sales if they're releasing it half price.. they must also be losing a lot of players if they have to release Double XP every other weekend or so.. I feel kinda dumb buying into the whole mountain dew / dorito thing back when this game was released.
