Activision says subscription service has reached the million milestone in six days as total registration tops 4 million; publisher downgrades concurrent player record to 1.4 million.
The Call of Duty Elite launch wasn’t the smoothest deployment in virtual military history, but that didn’t stop the first-person shooter subscription service from enlisting more than a few good men.
Activision today announced that within six days of Elite’s November 8 launch (which coincided with the multiplatform debut of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3), the service had sold 1 million paid subscriptions. According to the publisher, it took high-profile subscription services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Sirius XM, and Xbox Live a full year each to hit the 1 million paid mark.
However, Call of Duty Elite isn’t strictly a paid service. Elite provides players with gameplay statistics, video sharing, and clan support features for free, but those who shell out for the $ 50 annual subscription will also receive all downloadable content released in the year, as well as exclusive video content and other perks. Combining the free tier with the paid subscribers, Activision reported more than 4 million Elite registrants to date. Put together, those members have formed 80,000 clans and uploaded more than 100,000 user videos to the service.
In addition to doling out new numbers, Activision has acknowledged a mistake with one of the numbers it announced shortly after the launch of Call of Duty Elite and Modern Warfare 3. Previously, the publisher claimed to have had 3.3 million simultaneous Modern Warfare 3 players on Xbox Live for the game’s launch date. Last night it amended that figure, correcting it to 1.4 million simultaneous users. The 3.3 million figure was total players on day one, not concurrent players.

Activision’s yearly shooter answers the call days before Elder Scrolls V returns players to Tamriel; Metal Gear Solid HD Collection also mobilizes.
After weeks of quips about the escalating holiday buying period, one of the biggest weeks of the season is actually here. If trends of past years continue, this week’s release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will mark the biggest game launch of the year. Skyrim is set to bring dragons to The Elder Scrolls universe with its Friday release, and Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and Peace Walker will make their transition to HD.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 marks the return of Activision’s annual military first-person shooter franchise, and the return of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare fork of the series on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The multiplayer mode is set to introduce a few changes to the MW2 formula. Additions include a new mode called “Kill Command” that has players in a race to collect dog tags from downed players, a new weapon leveling system, and a revamped streak system. Also, Modern Warfare 2′s Tactical Nuke is out.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim eschews the typical Tuesday game release day for a Friday launch to land on its highly publicized 11/11/11 date on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. It’s been five years since Bethesda’s last Elder Scrolls release, and the developer says it has folded in lessons learned from Oblivion and Fallout 3 alike. In typical series fashion, players can expect a sprawling open-world role-playing game with plenty of side quests to tackle. Dragons are a new addition to the series, and players will gain new abilities as they defeat the various winged beasts.
Announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo just five months ago, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is set to bring an assortment of past games in the series into the HD era. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, 3: Snake Eater, and the PSP’s Peace Walker are making their way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 in “optimized and rebuilt” versions that take advantage of the increased horsepower offered by modern consoles. Not simple ports, the games will feature redrawn 2D art, higher quality audio, trophies, achievements, and tweaked controls to utilize the second analog stick where needed.
For further details, visit GameSpot’s New Releases page. The full list of downloadable games on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, and Wii Shop Channel will be revealed later this week. Release dates are based on retailer listings and are subject to change.
