The Call of Duty Elite multiplayer oriented service from Activision Blizzard has had some rough weeks since it was launched, but the publisher is now promising that all the issues linked to it will be eliminated by the start of December.
Daniel Suarez, who is the vice president of production working on
Call of Duty Elite, has told G4 during an interview that, “It was our fault that the service wasn't up and running the day [fans] put in their token or the day they bought it.”
He added, “They kind of have to bear with us while we bring this all back up, but for us it's literally 'Give us those couple weeks, we're giving those to you for free and come December 1 the goal is that we'll have everything up and running.'”
Elite was launched at the same time as Modern Warfare 3 and is at the moment only available on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, although a version for the PC is also being worked on.
It seems that the main problem with Elite at the moment is that players are simply too interested in using it, while the company currently lacks the infrastructure to allow everyone to do so at the moment.
It takes time to upgrade the hardware that supports Elite and in the meantime Activision has told players to rest assured that even if they cannot access the service their game data is still being tracked and organized and will be presented to them once all problems are fixed.
Activision has already announced that all those who are paying for Elite will get an extra 30 days of subscription for free because of the launch problems.
Elite allows players to see how they have performed in multiplayer matches but also to interact with other gamers and set up clans.
Those who pay also get access to all the downloadable content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and exclusive media linked to the game.
