Activision prices Call Of Duty Elite

I think it is a little overpriced but Elite is a great service for hardcore gamers and gaming clans.

Am I correct in thinking that for £34.99 you get all future DLC map packs for free?
If this is true, then it's not as expensive as it first looks with 3-4 map packs at around £10 for the game.

Although it does make you realise how much you end up spending on one game.

I have heard a rumour that Elite will be dropped for PC because of concerns over keeping the integrity of competitions that they will run, with the PC being an open platform i.e. people being able to cheat.

It's not actually that bad a deal, in terms of service offered to a cod fan it could possibly be more "worth it" than an XBL gold membership (What do you actually get with that anyway? Other than the ability to play games online against people and week early demos i.e. something that should be comparable to basic human rights in terms of the internet and gaming)

@Neil: I doubt they'd do that considering Steamworks and VAC is actually pretty good most of the time, plus they'd be losing out on money there

Just checked the FAQ on the Elite site and it confirms that you get ALL DLC Maps for your MW3 on the format you play on.

"Yes. The annual subscription to Call of Duty Elite is an all-inclusive membership, and that means you get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 downloadable content, including all of the MW3 map packs and more as part of your premium membership. No need to buy additional DLC."

That makes it quite a good deal if you buy them all anyway.

One thing to note is that they announced that DLC releases will be released Monthly and these monthly packs would consist of other "upgrades" to the game - not just maps. The monthly DLC would not be in packs like they have done previously, although for users not subscribed I believe they are planning to release DLC packs as they did before. Also, they mentioned in the keynote that it ships with 10+ multiplayer maps. So the game should be perfectly playable without purchasing the DLC. Note: I don't believe they have released the price of those DLC packs or what would be included in them for non-elite members.
