Call of Duty: Elite beta preview



Call of Duty: Elite is like a combination of Bungie’s file share and Halo Waypoint. All of these have one thing in common, data. Call of Duty: Elite is a place where you can check your stats (in real time), career history, etc. I know there are some of you out there that claim to be “pro gamers.” I’m sure reading your own stats and seeing what you need to improve on is what might help you out. Even if you’re not a pro gamer, just bragging to your friends about you awesome kill/death ratio would be fun too right?


Another feature of Call of Duty: Elite, is its social network being inserted. You can talk to and post comments to gamers around the world about their game play they posted. If you’re not socially awkward, then joining a group is always great. There’s variety of groups out there that’ll let you join. For an example, if you’re in the Pittsburgh area, you can find a group that matches your criteria.

Not only can you join groups and make other friends, but you can also add your own rivalries. Rivalries are great again if you’re trying to show off your statistics. You can even customize your own leader boards of friends and yourself।

Another feature in the beta is their contest they’re constantly throwing. Players can “enlist” in an even on the calendar. By enlisting into an event, you’re competing with other players of that match variance. Some are just fun to watch, others are probably boring. I enjoy being able to see who has the best tomahawk video.

This is pretty much what Call of Duty: Elite is. It’s a service being developed by Beachhead studio. Don’t worry; there are plenty of features that you get for free. I haven’t seen how much the premium members get or how much it cost, but I do know they get all the DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3


Call of Duty: Elite releases with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this November 8th, 2011
