Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is only a few hours old, and its premium service Call of Duty Elite is apparently already hitting capacity bottlenecks. A note from Beachhead Studio, created to oversee Elite, ensures players it is working to increase capacity as soon as possible.

"Registration requests for our new live service Call of Duty Elite are exceeding even our most optimistic expectations, which is creating a bottleneck and some players have not been able to register," the status note reads. "we have already registered hundreds of thousands of players and we are working around the clock to increase our capacity as quickly as possible."

The note encourages players to check the status page or Twitter account for status updates on Elite availability. It says reassures users that data will be safe no matter when they've registered.
