Launch Issues Prompt Free Extension For Call of Duty Elite
Even though everyone knew Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was destined to be a massive hit, Activision (apparently) wasnt fully prepared for the onsalught of users to access its new online destination, Call of Duty Elite.
Elite is best described as Call of Dutys expanded answer to Halo's popular Bungie.net service.
We are having trouble scaling the service to meet demand, said the company in a statement. Many of you are trying to get in and unfortunately, you cant right now. Youre frustrated, we know it, and we know we need to fix it. Our teams have been working non-stop to identify issues and resolve them as quickly as possible. Again, these issues have no impact on the performance of the game.
Your stats are still being tracked even without Call of Duty Elite fully functioning, so when Activision is able to get everything fully operational, all the data should just plug in without issue.
In order to make sure everything is cool, though, Activision is extending the premium membership for users by 30 days for free. Anyone considering becoming a founder will have until the end of the month to ensure that status, and will also receive an additional 30 days when they finally set it up.
We are committed to Call of Duty Elite for the long haul and are working around the clock to resolve these issues, continued the statement. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
