There might be a lot of grumping among gamers about Activision’s subscription service for Call of Duty, but it turns out there’s some support for it too. According to the publisher’s social media guy Dan Amrich, the incoming beta has already seen two million sign ups over the past two weeks, with more expected over the next month.
“Several people have asked me how many people have signed up for the Call of Duty Elite beta,” he writes on his blog. “I just got the number back, and it blew my mind. More than 2 million gamers have signed up at callofduty.com/elite so far — and they hit that number in less than two weeks. That should give the dev team at Beachhead plenty to work with to kick off the beta, which officially starts July 14.”
The service, which includes both free and premium features, will cover both Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is launching 11 November.
