Call of Duty Elite For PC In Limbo [Update]

Activision may not be releasing Call of Duty Elite for PC after all.

Originally scheduled to launch alongside the console versions with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the PC version of Elite was delayed indefinitely with the publisher citing technical issues. Now it might not even happen at all.

"We are working towards a universal Elite experience but we cannot guarantee if or when a version will be available for the PC," Activision said in a statement today through Twitter.

Elite’s launch has been off to a rocky start. Console owners have been experiencing problems logging in and even registering their account. Activision later extended premium memberships by an additional 30 days at no charge.

Game Informer has followed up with Activision for additional information.

[Update] Activision spokesperson tells Game Informer the Twitter post this morning was a mistake and that the PC version is still coming.

"Point of clarification, as we misspoke. The goal has always been to provide a PC offering for Elite. The timing for that free offering is still being determined, so stay tuned for news on that."

Email the author Jim Reilly, or follow on Twitter, and Game Informer.

Lolvision.

Ehh can't say I care much. If you aren't playing CoD on a console, I don't have much reason to care to see your stats anyway.
by Jackenzison Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 11:12 AM

LOL. You would think with all the money they suckered out of people they would have a couple dollars to fix the B.S. they have been trying to sell. LOL if you knew this was going to happen.

Eh I don't think the PC community is missing out on much. Besides if you have a *** PC why waste it on this game? Go play Skyrim or something else with *** graphics.

I got suckerd in at the midnight release. Elite blows, the only good thing about it is that you get the DLC.

So far my experience with Elite has been extremely poor; Activision should have paid me to use the service instead of the other way around.

Is this why I can't cash in my double XP from the Mountain Dew promo for PC?
by reidloS doG Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 11:58 AM

Yeah, what's going down with the console version? More news on that please.
by MyNameIsPhilip Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 12:02 PM

Haha, really? this is quite fun imo, this shows how little they care about the Pc players....
by BarakaWinsFatality Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 12:12 PM

i got elite to work for the first time the other day for like 2 min before it crashed again. just glad i didnt sign up for the paid subscription or id be seriously PO'd
by Bob Howell Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 01:18 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA anyone who pays for this service deserves to be slapped.
by outlaw4728 Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 01:25 PM

Wow. What a waste of my time and money. I just want my money back...........

Hackers on day one didn't help, with no way for them to be reported or booted by players.
by Mr.MLGPro Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 02:19 PM

Oh well.
by Warm(Or) Puke Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 02:26 PM

I'm glad thats a mistake... I'm not a PC gamer but if they didn't have ELite for PC, that'd be insane and just, pointless. Why would you offer the service only to consoles?
by RegalRiegel Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 02:42 PM

I think Activision is trying to give a hint to the PC players to go play their competitors game...
by Angelic Magnus Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 03:06 PM

I'm not too surprised Activision hasn't ever really had good post release support.
