"We've learned a lot in our first year of Call of Duty Elite, and we're very proud that we over delivered on our commitment of playable content to our premium members," said Activision Publishing CEO, Eric Hirshberg.
With Call of Duty Elite free for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, both new and veteran Call of Duty Elite members alike will be able to enjoy the full range of Call of Duty Elite's robust service and features integrated into the highly-anticipated new game in development by award-winning studio Treyarch. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that all of its Call of Duty® Elite service features for Call of Duty®: Black Ops II will be free when the blockbuster game hits worldwide on November 13. Santa Monica, CA - OctoWith the launch of Call of Duty®: Black Ops II less than 40 days away, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. Zombies Leaderboards, All-New Call of Duty Elite TV and More It made no mention of the PS3 and PC versions though, again, we doubt Activision would ignored two major platforms.ĪCTIVISION TO MAKE ALL CALL OF DUTY® ELITE SERVICES FOR CALL OF DUTY®: BLACK OPS II FREEĬall of Duty: Black Ops II DLC to be Sold Separately via theĭiscounted Season Pass Bundle or a la carte as Individual Map PacksĬall of Duty Elite Service Set to Unite Fans with New Features - Player and Clan HQ, The publisher noted that it is "working with Nintendo" to bring both the DLC and the season pass to the Wii U version of Black Ops 2. Update: We asked Activision to clarify the statement regarding the DLC on other platforms. Also, apart from a few extra perks, the premium version of Elite was essentially a season pass to begin with, so not much has changed. Then again, given that the season pass will sell for the same $50 price, the difference may be negligible. After debuting to 6.5 million units sold, Modern Warfare 3 moved over 600,000 Elite subscriptions in a single week. The decision to make Elite free is an interesting one, especially given how (very) successful the program has been. No season pass has been announced for PS3, Wii U or PC and, in fact, the press release notes that "season pass and DLC map packs may not be available on all gaming platforms." It seems unlikely that Activision would neglect to offer such lucrative DLC on every possible platform, though the language is worth noting. With each map pack normally priced at $15, season pass holders will save a total of $10. The season pass will include access to four map packs throughout 2013. This time around, it appears that early access to DLC is no longer available, though Xbox 360 players will be able to purchase a season pass for $50. Previously, a premium Elite subscription offered an extra tier of services and guaranteed early access to downloadable map packs. All Call of Duty Elite services for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be free, Activision has announced.
