BEACHHEAD NEW PRIZE RULE IS PATHETIC

Like (1)
Beachhead has now made some new and pathetic and ridiculous rules for the elite operations stated below: Beachhead this is not fair what about operations that are 100K PRIZE. 1 person should be allowed to win one 100k operation. It is not fair. Beachhead you need to change the rules. I also want a chance to win an 100k prize. If you are going to make these rules then you will have to remove all 100k tournament then. You cannot make these pointless rules because you have doosh bags who think that core team deathmatch is the same as hardcore team deathmatch and when they don't win they cry.
There needs to be an addition rule for the 100k tournament. Which is you can only win it once.
This is the type of crap that just makes people want to get a refund. It is bad enough less people do not play in operation with no prize and now worse. YOU MIGHT ASWELL JUST GIVE ALL THE NOOBS AN IPAD.
AND ANYWAYS WHY ARE THE BEST GAMERS IN THE WORLD BEING PUNISHED????????????
Also i am pretty sure that you cannot just make this new rule until the 1 year contract is over. Elite stated you would be allowed to win prizes, it did not state how much prizes you can win. Anyways how do you know how much prizes you have won???

Seems a valid restriction to me. You won't get much support on this forum. Sorry.![]()
I am guessing ur a noob then, i dont want any support, i just want an answer. Is everyone allowed to win an 100k operation??? Everyone should be allowed to win an 100k operation atleast once regardless.
Basically if you have won a prize on the elite then there is no point in renewing your elite for next year, that is basically what it means if you like playing in operations.
The next thing they will say is that you are only allowed to win 1 operation in a year.
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WON AN 100K PRIZE. YOUR ELITE IS PRETTY MUCH OVERRRRRRRRR. EXPIRED
I'm with you on this one tallowby. I think they should give other people a chance to win a prize. Not only one of the top 10 players, that quite obviously don't have a real job if they are always playing COD. Sorry realjoker, I agree with their new rule and I havn't played any Lone Wolf Ops.
I dont see what your prob is ??
if you win something over $1000.00 you cant win again for a year.
if ya win something under $1000.00 you cant win again for 90 days.
seems fair ,what is the prob.?
with the millions on Elite that seems about right.
YES your right but if you win an 100k operation then you cant win anymore, I have never won an 100k operation and i would like the chance to win one so that means that i will have to stop playing in operation with boring prizes and wait for the 100k operation.
Sorry man i just dont get it ! If you win 100k op,id think it would be ok if you could win another in a year.And to not play in any ops because there is a chance youd win and not be eligible to win a op that may or may not come up in less than 90 days...Just seems like a real shot in the dark..The odds are real slim you'd win one let along two !!!
Yh maybe then there would be no point in even playing on the elite and how will this also affect prizes in clan operation.
Since this is a new rule it can only take effect from the day it was made because then most people would have waited for an 100k operation instead of wasting their time on elite caps or usb
I'm assuming a "100k Operation" means a prize in excess of $1,000?
It's your perogative as to which operations you choose to play and not play. Rules like this are very common for give aways.
When was the last time they gave anything away that was in excess of $1,000? The trips to the COD:Prom and the Jeep are the only things I can recall.
i guess there trying to spread the wealth. honestly the only thing i ever wanted was a pair of astros so i dont care to much
BEACHHEAD can you respond because since this is a new rule then does it start now or does it start from the release date of the elite because it wont be fair due to the fact that some people would have rejected their prize and waited to compete in an 100k prize.
I think this is way better !! Cause now every good player can win some and not only the 10 best players compete an other for the bigg price's, i was wondering if they would implement a rule like this looks like they came true. Every good player should have a change 2 win and not only the Top ![]()
Well i spoke to Activision support and it looks like the new rules has just taken effect on May 5th, 2012. So it does not affect any prizes you have won before.
And still i do not think it is fair because if you were actually a good player then you would win. I do not see the Los Angeles lakers or Manchester United being kicked out of a tournament because they keep winning, if you ask me it is very silly.
This rule only benefits the losers not the Winners.
BEACHHEAD if we do win a prize on the elite are we allowed to reject that prize if we do not want it or do we have to claim it anyway???
If we do reject the prize and we win again in less than 90 days can we still claim that prize if we want and also reject it if we want?
Actually you didn't read the whole thing, or didn't actually think about what they said. They can still compete, but will be disqualified from the actual prize, not the champion badge. Which means they wont give the next person the prize, they will keep it. It's another way for them to save money and screw all of us.
Beach Head I swear you guys are the dumbest people I've ever seen. If you keep seeing top consistent players win prizes then that's how it should be. It's the players fault who didn't come in the places to win a prize. They should be playing the game more like the top players are. Everyone has an equal chance of winning a prize including the top players vs the rest. It's all equal. I just think you guys are ridiculous. I sure wont be buying Elite again if this is true.
I'm sorry but you all need a couple english courses. This is some of the worst writing I've ever seen, when you try to make an argument nobody is going to take you seriously if you can't form a basic sentence.
realjoker your an idiot by the way, "if your good actually a good player then you'll win." There 100k worth of players in every op, just because your a good player does not in any way guarantee you'll ever win, let alone win more than once. In now way does this compare to the Lakers or Manchester United. They compete against around 30 other teams, we compete with over 100,000 per match. Plus the Lakers aren't winning a give away prize, they're bringing people to the stadiums and bringing in revenue for the league. You winning does nothing for them at all, you are literally just getting a free gift.
Stop being a greedy piece of ****

@LiQuiDx First of all you're trying to say his grammar is awful? You can't even use your and you're the correct way. You're DUMB. Commas that shouldn't be were they should be. My god. Stop trying to act like you know how to type and write correct when you're obviously missing out the basics of grammar. You dumb illiterate scum. I disagree with this rule, the competition section will no longer become competitive because the top players after they win their prize will not be able to play for 1 year to win a physical prize or 90 days. It's stupid. The whole rule is stupid. Yeah sure they're trying to give the "awful" people to win a prize but that's their fault! They should play more or learn from the top players who earned it all because of how much they like to play the game. MLG sure doesn't ban teams after they win at an event for 10k cash etc.. They are able to play at the next event even if they won at the previous. Beach Head get your crap together. This is the worst rule I have ever seen.
I agree with you but you should check your own sentences for mistakes before posting:) Have another read of what you wrote lad. You made several mistakes of your own.

I see no problem with that you pay your subscription knowing that per season you can only win $1000+ Once
Loads of Competitions have the "One Entry Per Person" rule... with Elite you can enter as many times as you like but only win once... seems fair.
Looks to me as if some people just love to moan... all you people saying the rule is unfair would be on here moaning if the same person had won every top prize.. you would be claiming that person to be a cheat and booster....
In fairness the only person who would complain about this is someone sure that they could win more than once... the only people who are sure they will win ...are the cheats and boosters!
Good point and so very true. The only ones that will complain are those that think they are entitled to win everything and no one esle should ever have a chance. Which I sort of blame that on Elite and the name choice. Because it causes Elitest mindsets just like the Op seems to have in this case.
Now toward the Op. Yes the rule is fair, no they do not have to remove it just because someone like you gets upset about it. They can change any part of the service at any point they want. They could even end it if they wanted and there is nothing you can do about it really. It is their service so they make the rules regardless if anyone likes them or not. They do not need to make rules that you like.
Are you kidding me? Every body has an equal chance. Nobody has a disadvantage? I mean. Wow. This community is just awful. This rule wouldn't have happened if this community wasn't so corrupt. Just full of kids whining and complaining.
Everybody that has ever had ANYTHING to do with call of duty has whined about this or that or blah blah blah..... I have myself but not over a set prize, i mean really, you are all going to complain about not being able to win more than $1k from something you only paid $50.00 for.... Go get a job... Hell sell some weed, then smoke some and play the game....NOW... Lets worry about ACTUALLY GETTING TO USE ELITE...... One day..... Lol
Of all the rules to get added....
I agree in that there needs to be a way for people in the ~100-1000 to be able to get something out of ops, (i.e. keep to their promise of "every" player having an opportunity to win something) but to essentially dismiss those who regularly finish in the ~1-99? It's silly.
There really needs to be a division system in place. I know... "But people will play bad so they can qualify in the lower divisions and win". That's why you only offer the best prizes to the best divisions. If people want to cheat the system and screw up their own record so they can win a hat, well all the power to them. If I had the ability to win an 100K op, I know I'd rather go for a 100K op worthy prize.
It could even be made so that once you win a few ops in one division, you move up to the next.
It's a silly rule. It needs to go.
First of all LiQuiDx Your a doosh bag and pure doosh
Anyway's i never actually realise this but a friend of mine told me that Beachhead only made this rules to save money but not to give everyone a chance to win because if you win a prize that is over $100.01 then you will have to wait 90 days before you can win another prize and for the last few months on the elite all of the prizes on the elite are worth over $101.01 feel free to check all the prizes on your elite right now and you will not find any prize below that price range.
This way they are making sure that if you win, you will either not be eligible to win either for 90 days or 12 months either way if you do win a prize on the elite you might as well not play the elite for another 90days.
Like majority of the comments on this post i think this rule is rubbish, if you are good enough to win then win, no one should ever be stopped from winning.
If Beachhead wants to give everyone a chance to win a prize then why don't they just give the top 100 or top 1000 players a prize in every operation???EXACTLY
Beachhead should have also gone with my idea on awarding players with prizes for the amount of badges they have won on the eliite.
this is true this rule is bs its so all the little babys dont cry when they dont win its not fair 90days seems way to long then the 1year is just wait is just a joke theres no need for me to buy elite again now as i never got it for the new maps as there always bad so elite i will not be buying you again.
Wait, people actually try to win prizes from Elite?
Not Anymore
i think that when the 100k days are here top of all 3 teirs should win somat so people who aint as good say who get top of bronze will get somat maybe not mutch but somat then top silver will get a little better prize its not that its hard to cheat to get top of a teir as the stats are changing all the time p.s ban all the cheats
use a little commen sence you know when you have a champion prize your gonna get cheats and i bet theres people sat at home with a prize who actualy cheated
Have to admit this is the worst rule i've ever heard of I came 4th in the last 100k tourny and won a camera bundle I PAID for elite to actually win the call of duty elite prizes I don't give two monkeys about new maps or all these amazing online features I care about competing to win money from a game I enjoy playing. You don't see usain bolt being told sorry you won gold in the last olympics you can't compete in this one, everyone has a fair chance in every competition as everyone is on a level playing field if your good enough you deserve to win the prizes everyone complaining that they dont have a fair chance blah blah your simply not good enough to win prizes in this particular game prizes/prize money should be given to the best players simple and you go on about people winning by cheating beachhead go through the videos of the winners to spot the cheating... Stupid rule, I want my money back...
See... that's the thing. It only gives others a chance by discouraging winners from competing. If they decide to compete anyways, Elite gets to keep the prize. Usain Bolt would still be free to compete... the IOC just wont have to pony up for another gold medal, strickly speaking.
I'm with realjoker on this. It's a cost-cutting measure... nothing more.
