The pre-release of the new digital community platform, built expressly for the 30-million strong Call of Duty fanbase, began today on Xbox 360 with the launch of Call of Duty Elite, utilizing Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Call of Duty Elite will officially debut this fall as an integral part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 8th. The 2.8 million Call of Duty gamers who have already registered to participate will now have the opportunity to connect, compete and improve in this evolution of the Call of Duty multi-player experience.
“Call of Duty Elite is all about connecting our amazing fans around the globe in ways never before possible and we are excited to get their feedback so they can help us further develop, tune and test the service, as we head into our launch in November with Modern Warfare 3,” says Chacko Sonny, Studio Head, Beachhead Studio. “A public beta with the massive Call of Duty community is the best way to generate the scale we need for end-to-end testing. While Call of DutyElite will continue to evolve post-launch, we want to deliver the most polished, complete and rigorously tested service possible on day one.“
Call of Duty Elite will also offer members exclusive, all-new entertainment programs created by top Hollywood talent, exclusively for the Call of Duty community. More information on this content to come soon.
Premium members of Call of Duty Elite will also receive all downloadable content for Modern Warfare 3. From new maps to themed content, if it’s downloadable content, Call of Duty Elite members will get it.
