Call of Duty Elite - paid subscription service revealed

first thing i noticed was the use of the words "BS" or "WTF" in BFBC2 were scarce, yes they were there but FAR LESS prominent!

I am REALLY not trying to start a flame war here, but thats the COD side of Battlefield coming out. Or its influence.

In BF2, the grandaddy of Battlefield games, bad language was not tolerated (lncluding acronyms). Admins monitored servers actively and actually cared. Players cared. People wanted to have a good time. Griefers were shown the door.

If we can somehow work out a similar structure for BF3, using responsible and respected players to monitor while playing the game they love, the community will thrive.

Except it was made by a new unknown developer. This is Dice we're talking about, they made the fantastic Bad Company 2. I have faith they can pull off their goals and judging by the footage I've seen so far it's going to awesome.

Did you play BF2 at all? If you thought BC2 was a gem for its time, BF2 made it look dismal in gameplay comparison (my 2c).

(i know i am hugely pro-BF2. But it being my first online FPS and me sinking 2500+ hours into it, how successful the competitive side was, it succeeding for a 5 years (!!!) AND me still having the friends I made THEN from my first days running around as a noobcake... It wins ).

Dude, I think everyone knows BC2 was just a spin-off game, but the point it- it was SO good, even for a spin-off, that it could easily stand alone as one of the best games of the last 2 years, EVEN if it didn't have enough depth as BF2, or even BF3 for that matter! Just imagine what that is going to be like?! :O

Point is, DICE makes game's for it's community and people that really want to have a good time go play battlefield games

Not really interested. On top of XBOX LIVE subscription? No ways. Kotick is really trying to milk gamers for all their money's worth. I remember when COD4 cost me R499.99 on Xbox360. Rather play BF3.

"Bosbefokte Fokker"?

I will buy any COD that is not made by Treyarch and that is free to play.... Just love the series. Kill me, hate me, whatever.

Everyone just wants a piece of the recurring revenue pie. I sincerely hope people are not going to support this.
