Call of Duty Elite video series in development

Activision plans on adding more value to its newly announced Call of Duty Elite subscription service by developing a Call of Duty video series.

Activision wants to convert the millions of Call of Duty players out there into regular customers of its newly unveiled Elite subscription service. The currently detailed offering includes a social network service, clans, competitions, detailed statistics, and access to downloadable map packs. A report by the Guardian reveals that Activision has one more ace up its sleeve for the service: a Hollywood-produced web TV series "inspired by Call of Duty."

Further details haven't been offered, with Activision exec Eric Hirshberg admitting that the company is waiting to "have something to show." More information will be revealed "later in the year," probably around the launch of Modern Warfare 3.

Earlier in the year, a team of well-budgeted fans created a trailer for a Modern Warfare-inspired live action film called Find Makarov (pictured above). While the project has no official affiliation with the franchise, it should give us a good idea of what to expect from Activision's own offering.

      Not bad at all! I almost though I was watching cinematics from the videogame. But lets be honest, Call of Duty´s story is not worth to have a movie, actually its pretty B movie material if you ask me, even straight to DVD.
      About Call of Duty Elite, they had me with compare, connect and IMPROVE!!

      I think they best stick to making game cinematic, its 2011 and that's the best they can do? That looked like it was from the 80s.
