Did you know that Activision is evil? Like… seriously, I heard that the entire company eats babies for lunch on Friday. Babies!
That was certainly the consensus after Call of Duty Elite was first announced and detailed by The Wall Street Journal. I was personally so shocked by Activision's decision to further their Call of Duty business plan by any means necessary. I thought they'd be giving everything away for free! DLC Map Packs, fancy preorder bonuses, maybe even some night-vision goggles?
Call of Duty Elite's beta will be opening soon for gamers holding on to their copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops. With the impending release, Bobby Kotick and company saw fit to announce exactly what piece of its Elite service would be free. Here it goes:
