Call of Duty Elite pulls in 7 million users, 1.5 million paid memberships

4.3
Call of Duty Elite, the community portal for Activision's perennial shooter is apparently doing gangbusters, according to the publisher's 2011 earnings report. The report states that Elite has pulled in over 7 million members as of January 31.

Even more impressive: over 1.5 million of those are premium subscriptions, available as part of the $100 Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or as a separate $50 purchase. Paid membership grants a few benefits, most notably a free pass and early access to Modern Warfare 3 DLC.

We'd say the service probably qualifies as a success at this point, at least from Activision's perspective.

Seems alot of people wasted their money. I'm glad I didn't.

why do they act like this is an achievement, anyone who doesnt have the subscription is leftbehind, hardly fair really. they forced the hand that feeds them, eventually people are going to get bored of this tactic and are not going to invest in mw titles.

I didn't expect them to get that many many premium subscribers.

Why don't you change the name of this site to the call of duty fan base.com. Seriously almost all of your front page articles are cod related its disturbing considering this is a gaming community site not a cod fan base HQ unless I'm mistaken.

MW3 wasn't worth buying elite so i'm glad i didn't pay, there adding black ops type maps, Cod4 and WaW were still the best.
