Call of Duty: Elite info

Call of Duty ELITE is a new service created by Beachhead that will be fully released in November to coincide with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Players can either join for free or pay a monthly subscription and get additional features. The subscription is not included in any currently paid fees, so players that already pay for Xbox Live will have to pay the fee on top of their normal monthly fee. The subscription's price has not been determined yet, but it is planned to cost less than $7.99 a month. Beta Codes were distributed on July 14.
