Activision Gives Free Month of CALL OF DUTY ELITE

By Matt Mann / November 10, 2011

Activision is preaching patience because they are still experiencing issues pertaining to their Call of Duty Elite service. However, they announced today they will be giving out a free month of the service by extending "all one-year paid memberships to the service by 30 days". This is compensation for the service being down and basically unusable for many people who have been trying to joined Call of Duty Elite. Activision was able to fix some of the registration problems that have been occurring, but then servers started crashing because so many people have been trying to sign up. Here is a statement from Activision:

"At launch, our registration and login systems were crushed by gamers trying to enter the Elite site at the same time, We have now fixed the registration and login systems, but we have found that the greater than expected demand is crashing servers. We're immediately deploying multiple additional servers to beef up the system. We are also going to temporarily limit access to Elite services on both the console applications and website while we build additional capacity and scale. We'll look to increase access to greater numbers of users as soon as possible."

Also if you still want to sign up as a "Founder" you may do so until the end of the month. The popularity of this series seems to grow by leaps and bounds every year; Activision had no idea that Call of Duty Elite would be this popular hence the problems they are having now. Have any of you been able to register or have the overloaded serves kept you from being able to get on to the service?
