"Poor server support causing widespread registration issues".

With the sales of their last few COD titles what did they expect?

Pacman3215330d ago

I think it might of just been a publicity stunt to gain more attention for Elite.

Adva5330d ago

Elite Subs come for free, with hardened edition I believe. Could be why.

gamingdroid5330d ago

Which sold out at most retailers for several weeks now. Who would have thought a fee based service like that would have such demand?

GraveLord5330d ago

Elite subs are free for everyone.
Hardened edition owners(like me) get the premium features of elite for "free".

TopDudeMan5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Yeah, was wondering why I couldn't get on there to register my founder card.

Mikeyy5329d ago

When we goto register the founder card, is says we cannot do it untill after 11/13/11...

The elite app via ps3 doesnt even work, cant even connect to the server.

TopDudeMan5329d ago

Actually I think it's before 13th of november to be a founder. Not after. So they better get their shit in order

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS147d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex198d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos198d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle40198d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio198d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger198d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
