Despite reports of a PC beta this Fall, desktop and laptop gamers won't get an Elite taste until the service goes live in November.

they are putting lipstick on a pig.

BF3 will have all of my attention just as BC2 did. Not interested in rehash.

Not like its much of a loss anyway; CoD was over at 4.

 

[alhanelem]

This is good news! There's also a mistake in the title...
it should be: "YAY!!!, No Call of Duty Elite PC Beta After All!

 

[theshonen8899]

We don't want it.

 

[RabidFace]

You people realize that Call of Duty Elite is not a game right? Thought I would throw this out there for the people that thought it was

 

[shin0bi272]

lol who cares!? I'll go play black ops and it'll be the same thing just different levels. why? They havent updated their game engine since 2005! Yeah that's right 2005! Their excuse? "it takes a long time to develop a new game engine and perfect it"... so they'd rather suck you dry 60 bucks at a time with games that are almost identical to the one the year before and call it something cool sounding so you still buy it.

Dont forget that CoD is becoming increasingly easier by every iteration. Soon you wont need to aim. All you need to do is press a button and the game will play it self.

Ps. PC gets the shaft again. Activision will fall behind in the loop wich is a thumbs up in my book!

Call of Duty goes social??
Useless rubbish for people with no social life at all.

If AMD and Nvidia want to stay in the high-end graphics market they really need to be greasing game developer's wheels. They need to be pushing them to never give up on the PC market. If pirating is the concern, then solve it. If all game devs stopped making games for PCs today there wouldn't really be a need to build robust graphics cards. AMD/Nvidia stand to lose a lot. I would even throw in CPU and mobo mankers too. They all stand to lose a lot if game consoles are the only gaming outlet.

Sure AMD/Intel can put their cards in consoles but consoles are updated only every couple years or so. Plus, a console is a flat price where individual graphics cards are priced based on models and some are more expensive than a console itself.

They have already given up battling BF3 on the PC

 

[alyon]

And the problem is where? Just give me diablo 3, planetside 2, BF 3, and some fillers and I will be happy as a hog rolling in mud.

 

[verbalizer]

MEH anyways..

 

[Guest]

the game doesnt take much skill anyways...

It was over after 2 IMO

 

[cuecuemore]

I view this as a relief, a bit of redemption for our beloved platform.

 

[Yagame]

I thought they used the Unreal 3 engine. Anywho, a new version of Unreal put out screen shots a few months back. Perhaps the latest game will take advantage of the latest engine.

This must of been what that email was about that I ignored. Was invited to the elite beta way back, even though I think it s a poor idea.

 

[eklipz330]

darn, i was so excited to pay for this. now activision doesn't want my money!

seriously, this franchise is taking really long to die.

 

[cburke82]

I was reading this article getting mad that the PC was getting the shaft again and then suddenly remembered that I dont give a f about this game lol. I got BC2 for $5 n steam and CODBO is still $50 lol

 

[mapesdhs]

What a sad state of affairs. I still enjoy playing CoD2 (PS2) and I have
IV and World at War unopened that I'm looking forward to, but it's a shame
the franchise seems to be slipping. I was a big MoH fan but was really
annoyed at the on-rails nature of Rising Sun; a friend told me to try CoD,
never looked back. I have the first three for PS2, 4th and 5th for PC.

So has MoH resurrected itself these days?

The only other games I've liked quite as much as CoD2 are Mercenaries,
Black and Stalker.

Dan "One of Swords" Amrich... has to be the stupidest nickname ive ever heard. And meh, not interested in it, but it still sucks that pc gamers get the boot again. I really hope this 1st person modern shooter boner dies down and publishers decide to publish good games the way their supposed to... Xcom comes to mind
