Shack PSA: Call of Duty Elite Founder registration ends today
Activision's premium COD service offers extra benefits for "Founders," and today is the last day you can get the shiny, special "permanent designation" that only a million other people have so far.
Now that Call of Duty Elite is fully operational, perhaps you'll consider subscribing? Activision's premium COD service offers extra benefits for "Founders," and today is the last day you can get the shiny, special "permanent designation" that only a million other people have so far.
Founders get an exclusive title, emblem, and weapon camo to use in Modern Warfare 3, as well as a private discussion group in the Elite Connect section. You also get 500 XP for your clan, and "exclusive competitions and prizes that only Founders can enter."
According to One of Swords, Founder status is permanent, meaning you'll keep these benefits "even if you decide not to subscribe next year." But, you don't plan on giving up on Call of Duty 9, right?
If you do decide to purchase the $50 subscription today, it may take up to 48 hours for your Founder status to activate. "As long as you activated your account before the end of November, you will be given the benefits." The only way you can get Founder status beyond today's deadline is by having an unopened copy of the sold-out Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 3, which includes a voucher that will grant Founder status even after the deadline.

MW3 made three quarters of a billion dollars in five days, basically the biggest media launch ever.

I realize that but most of us still come to think of the series as being COD4 -> WAW -> MW2 -> BLOPS -> MW3. I don't usually think of them as separate branches or series so I usually compare one directly to the last. I guess realistically they are though.
Also, I almost totally forgot about the purchasable contracts. That was such a great little feature :/ gave me a fun new goal to go for every night.-
I only play WAW.

I like the multiplayer more than blops. Maps are smaller, you die a little faster, but it's just made me get better at aiming.

For Founders and Hardened Edition and tokens and deadlines and all that, it would have been nice if they had disseminated all that information before the game came out. Well nice for the customers at least. Their bottom line sales, probably not so much anything for them to worry about if they piss off a few hundred or a couple thousand or what have you. But the CoD Elite folks on Twitter, Activision customer service, the press releases, etc. Nobody publicly detailed the info about this Hardened Edition token that was not subject to the "activate by" deadline that buying the service was subject to. That one they extended anyway. And their web site login in still having issues with. Although it seems rather obvious nobody knew anything to give out, as a big mess mishandled and underestimated. A typical video game world sort of ineptness and cluelessness.
Trying to find out before launch if ordering the Hardened Edition with normal shipping (that is, slated to arrive after their first activation deadline) would still count for Founders went the same way the rest of this failed experiment has gone. FUBAR So it's not really a big surprise.
