Despite the varied views on Activisions new subscription based stats tracker ‘Elite’, the publisher will be seeing a good few thousand applicants for it’s closed beta testing coming this summer.
To sign up simply visit the Call of Duty: Elite website, input your details and wait to see if you’re one of those chosen to test out the new service. This will be available on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and although no date has been set for the beta or official release Activision have said that it will be with gamers by this fall.
Details from the Elite press release:
- Connect: Call of Duty Elite gives players unprecedented control over their multiplayer experience, transforming it into a true social network. Players can compete against friends, players of similar skill levels and players with similar interests, join groups, join clans, and play in organized tournaments. They can also track the performance, progress and activity of their entire network, both in the game itself, as well as through mobile and web interfaces. Elite will be an “always on” way for players to connect with the Call of Duty community.
- Compete: Call of Duty Elite establishes the most exciting, competitive environment in a multiplayer game. Players will have available a constant stream of events and competitions, tiered to group them with those with similar abilities. Both in-game and real-world prizes will be rewarded to all skill levels.
- Improve: Call of Duty Elite is like having a personal online coach. It provides players with a dynamic strategy guide that tracks their statistics and performances down to the most minute details. It can show gamers how they stack up against their friends or others in the community. Tools and information are provided so players can learn and up their game.
We at Console Monster are hoping to get a play on the new service, so look out for a hands-on coming soon.
