Aright the way its looking Elite wont be working before I deploy.  So glad I spent $50 bucks on something I probably wont even get to use.  I was in the beta and had more during it than I do now.  I expected some issues but wow all I've gotten is some Double Xp a title and a gay winter camo that looks a lot like one anybody can unlock and the worst part is the status updates what a joke.  I get that they are working hard to get it up but at the least they could keep us informed and give us more than an extra month.  I mean the extra month is more like a slap in the face that anything els ( Ok we got you money it doesn't work here's and extra mouth of it and its still not going to work. ).  And what about xbox getting the DLC first I understand there's a contract with Mirocsoft but Elite should not fall under that especially sine we all paid the same amount for the service. now I know somebody is going to say Well we xbox guys pay to get on xbox live and all I have to say to that is that's your own problem.  So I would like to Thank all the people that help make Elite for screwing a Marine out of there money so Thank You All.

All i see from Beachhead is Sorrys and please wait. Why sell something that you wasnt even near complete. What have we really got for our money so far elite t.v lmao i'd rather watch paint dry, Winter camo wow thats so cool. All i know you taken our money and had a great xmas party on us.... If i knew you was going to take this long my money would be in my pocket still. i dont think beachhead deserve any thanks for info that should of been given from day 1. Beachhead should of said. we havent got a clue when we will be ready but we are ready to take your money... Beachhead your a joke in my eyes, you should of made it clear how uncomplete elite was to us, but na your not dumb i'll give you that becuase you know you wouldnt of got anywhere near the amount of subscribers you do have. i made a complaint to watchdog and urge all u.k users to do the same.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH . It is very sad. I payed for the elite because i was ready on day 1 to start playing in clan tournament and yes your right it should have been up and running in day 1. There is so much stuff on the elite that does not work properly. I guess we got played lol haha.

I have a feeling Beachhead will end up on BBC News. I have seen the BBC Watchdog destroy companies for less crimes only because the BBC  does not bow down because they are not controlled by any government and they tend to always get what they want, i mean Rupert Murdoch is a prime example.

my guess no hardcore bc its to easy for sh*t kids to run around using noob tubes the whole time and you cant properly judge that.

As frustrating as it is for almost all of Elite to not be functioning.

It seems to me that digital merchandising should take on a different standpoint than physical manufacturing.

Physical manufacturing is not infinite. It's made and it's done. You might can do small modifications but not much. It has to pass safety standards so it doesn't stab children or burst into flames on grandma. For it to meet safety standards it has to be a complete product. No company will test anything that's not finished.

Digital manufacturing is a little different, to me. If you have ever dealt with code in programming you know just how fickle it can be. Even on this website, if I broke into the code and deleted just one ">" it could completely destroy the way the site functions. In my short career of a programming student I would spend 2 hours debugging just to find a letter was capital instead of lowercase. Now imagine something so fragile stretched over 100 millions different situations, different computers, different plug-ins, different hardware. The idea of releasing something that is not only infinite (can be upgraded, updated, changed, etc..) at any time, but also part of the largest franchise in HISTORY without something messing up; the odds are almost astronomical. Yes IW should have waited a little while longer before releasing, but if they did, guess what? These forums would be just as full with people bitching about it not being out at all.

Think about it, do people break into your house and change a little chip inside your tv that might not have been the best to use, or does your car magically get a new battery when it goes out? No. Physical manufacturing doesn't usually have that many problems. It's made, it's done.

Now think about your xbox live, your windows 7, your Mac Lion, your android. . . always updating. Is it because mac or windows or android didn't do their job? No it's because programming is so complicated at such a large scale, they would never be able to release anything ever. They just have to get it working the best they can, send it out, and hope to some higher being that nothing goes wrong. Look at Windows XP, amazing system. . . then vista came out. . . complete crap. . . then came 7, it's a nice system.

Sometimes it goes off without a hitch, sometimes it doesn't. The life and times of digital marketting.

Is this so hard to believe? No.

Should we still get some benfits for the wait, of course. . . just calm down in the meantime.
