Call of Duty Elite

The Wall Street Journal reported that Activision Blizzard Inc. is all set to launch Call of Duty Elite this fall 2011. It is a social platform service for players of Black Ops and the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn’t offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new “Call of Duty” levels to play.

Activision executives said they haven’t yet figured out how much to charge for the service, but they expect the cost to be less than fees for comparable online-entertainment services, such as a $7.99-a-month Netflix Inc. movie subscription. Portions of the service will be free, including features inspired by Facebook Inc. that will let “Call of Duty” players meet for online gun battles with others who share various affiliations and interests.

More details about the Call of Duty Elite service is expected to be revealed at E3 next week.
