Activision have detailed everything that non-paying Call of Duty: Elite members can expect to receive when the service launches in November. It's a long old list.

Aware that some commenters were disgruntled at the idea of Call of Duty: Elite charging for services offered free of charge with rival titles, the list is Activision's attempt to set the record straight.

"Giving you more than ever before (and taking nothing away)," says the publisher's blurb, before adding, "Even haters can play for free." That made me chuckle.

Here's Activision's summary:

-Access Elite through the web as well as Elite's free custom iOS and Android applications for smartphones and tablets
-Communicate any way you want across mobile, console and the web with your friends
-Track and share thousands of stats with friends - k/d ratios, score-per-minute, win % and loads more, all represented in easy to understand charts and infographics
-Create your own custom leaderboards to track friendly rivalries - who is moving up and down in your group of friends?
-Analyse advanced heat maps detailing your match-by-match performance - where you killed or got killed, when it happened, and more
-Analyse your weapons performance - which weapons you are best with in which situations
-Upload and share videos of your greatest moments through our exclusive theater mode with the touch of a button
-Customise your loadout - search through all the weapons, attachments and perks, and push them directly into the game menu from the web or your mobile device with the touch of a button
-Join dozens of groups and find other players with common interests to play with and compete against
-Create a Clan with players who share your interests and taste for competition
-Bring your Facebook friends right into the game, easily taking your existing network into the Call of Duty experience.
-Seamlessly be placed into Groups with those who share your affinities and interests based on your Facebook profile.
-Start tracking your Call of Duty career - everything you wanted to know about your performance across the franchise starting with Black Ops

So what do you reckon? Enough to win the "haters" over?

Sure it seems nice to have a halo way point type of app for CoD......but I don't know if it would be worth it at all to pay for any type of "premium" service for it. At the end of the day, do I need or even CARE about how many kills I have or most of those stats? Not really......

I have to admit, clans were a great implement in Halo 2 when everyone was much more social, but I couldn't see it being as successful seeing as you have to pay money for it. Bungie has had this system since Halo 2 and I don't see why Activision could make the consumer pay when they are a bigger company than Bungie. I guess they are just trying to rake in as much money as possible from subscriptions of this and WoW.

Seriously, Bungie always did this flawlessly and for free (unless you count that bungie pro shit) so why would people pay for it?

Most of the features will be free. I'm curious to see what they will ask us to pay for.

It'd be the happiest day of my life if I could see COD come crashing down never to recover.

Meh, I love CoD as much as I love Gears,Battlefield, or Halo; however I'm already spending $60 a year on LIVE plus $65 a pop for games because I'm one of those day1 kind of guys. But this sounds just like WAYPOINT from halo, and that was free and I still barely use it. So no way I'm shelling out cash for a service I'll use for a week then forget about. :cool:

I like how every company with a shooter tried to mention a service they were offering for free at E3, just to poke at Call of Duty.
