| Some followup news: - Quote :
- Battlefield 3 suffered from a messy launch when the influx of players caused issues for game servers and Origin. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now facing its own set of issues on launch day -- surprise, surprise -- specifically related to its brand new Call of Duty Elite service.
Elite is free for all users, with an additional premium membership level that you have to pay a yearly fee to access. It apparently wasn't prepared to handle this many people signing up for Elite all at once, although at least the game is still playable and a fix is in the process of being implemented.
"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," reads a message from Beachhead Studio boss Chacko Sonny on the service's status page.
"We have already registered hundreds of thousands of players and we are working around the clock to increase our capacity as quickly as possible."
However long that may take, the important thing is players aren't losing out on having their stats tracked in the meantime. Even if you haven't yet signed up, your data is being recorded and will be available once you do.
"Service is capturing all MW3 gameplay data," reads a tweet sent out earlier today. "Data, heatmaps, and activity will be waiting for you upon registration."
Those who decide to pay $49.99 for a year-long subscription to Elite (or purchase the Hardened Edition) can look forward to getting all four DLC packs' contents for free, extra storage space for replay videos, daily tournaments, Elite TV, and more. Of course, you'll have to register before you're able to enjoy all of this, but for a premium service that Activision really wants to do well, you can bet Beachhead is going to be working very hard to resolve these issues quickly. http://www.1up.com/news/call-of-duty-elite-sign-ups-exceed-expectations-issues-addressed | |
