Man the elite website still sucks so hard on some areas.

The next prestige calculator calculates 30 YEARS until my next prestige.

Ummm, I've had 2 prestige's in a month, WhyTF would it take me 30 years?

Useless.

Yeah, elite has been a total POS. The website is slow and cluttered.
Tons of stats are just flat out wrong. Apparently I've played for either 254,000 hours or 1.5 days depending on where you look...neither of which is even close.
The clan functionality isn't fully working.
The contests aren't integrated into the game at all.
The improve section contains flat out misinformation about guns.
Elite TV has terrible streaming quality and amateurish content (aside from the weapon/map overviews, which are good).
There's still no mobile apps.
The console app isn't integrated into the game, is slow to launch, and is generally a regression from the in game stats in blops.

So....I guess there's lots of room for improvement? I like almost everything they've done with MW3, but elite is just not holding up its end of the bargain.

Yeah, I'm a little upset I paid extra for Elite. I want to start playing some competitions and other clans and stuff.

Yeah, if it wasn't for the DLC it wouldn't be worth it.

The stats are nowhere near as good as what we got free in blops (although there wasn't a website) and there is still no mobile app.

I have 2 questions:

1) How do you level up a clan?

In my clan, it's only me and my brother. It's level 2 b/c I had 500 bonus points from creating it with founders status. Do we just play normally and the clan will level up? b/c it hasn't moved any and we played every night.

2) How do you get yellow clan tags?

I see some folks with yellow clan tags. Is that from clan unlocks or something?

Edit: Looks like this post answered both questions:

Cant check the link here at work so as far as I know you only get points for adding members. The clan I am in is open to everyone if you and your brother would like to join. We are a level 13 as of right now with about 40ish people I think who play all the different game types. If you would like an invite send a FR to xX 6guns Xx and Ill get you set up with the people to get you in.

The only hard info is that it's more than just maps. The only map they confirmed is one themed on NYCs central park.
I'm betting that it's just one map + some other value-add stuff. We won't be getting 5 maps a month. We'll probly get 1-2 maps per month for a few months until the public release of the map pack. Then a few months later it will start again.

I'm interested to see what the other value-add content will be though. New weapons, perks, game modes? Probably not, but one can dream.

I'd expect about the same amount of DLC maps as in blops so about 12. So yeah, over 9 months, it's 1-2 maps a month.

They've pretty much come out and said they were doing spec ops missions and game modes.

I've seen some hacker tear through the PC version and elite found other camos that actually worked in game - marine digital was the only one that wasn't an apparent carryover from MW2. So that seems like a sure bet.

The same hacker also claimed he could have gotten the ak74u and m240 to work in game, but didn't try? He also found some other perks, but those were probably unfinished.

So in order of likeliness:
MP maps
Game modes
Spec ops missions
Gun camos
Weapons
Perks

Ah yes, I forgot about the Spec Ops missions! I had read that too. That sounds great to me, now I just have to get my cheap ass buddy to buy them so we can play the new ones

I'm pretty torn about this.

1st. They didn't have enough hardened editions available and I tried but couldn't get in on the deals around launch time.

2nd. Elite website and MW3 stat tracking sux.

3rd. Since the Premium Elite users will be getting maps first, I'm not sure if I'm going to buy any of the map packs at all this time..

Unless, all my buddies jump on prem. elite, I won't be getting the friggin map packs.

I wonder how others feel about this whole thing.

That it has. I wonder if they plan to keep this around for all CoD games? I think they might since it has your BLOPs playercard. I like the idea of it but at the same time its not really worth the money. The only reason I even have it is because I bought the harden edition.

With the maps coming to ELITE members first, that does me no real good since a lot of the friends I play with dont have it so I will never see those maps until they go live for everyone else. Dont get me wrong, Ill load them up in a private match to kind of figure them out so that when I do get to play them with everyone Ill have a bit more knowledge of them then everyone else.

It was a good buy for me. I run lone wolf a lot. My friends are casual gamers compared to me and they got me in to shooters!

You do realize you don't need to pay the premium part to get the benefits of Elite right? The premium portion really only gives you the maps earlier and at a discounted rate. You can still get most of the other features of Elite through their non-paying accounts.

He said he only has it because he got the hardened edition, so your post is kind of dumb. You even bolded that part.

I just beat MW 1 and 2 this past week. Got 3 on a steam deal for $40. but havnt started it yet. Though i just play for the SP, its definitely one of the best shooters i've played in quite a while. I just wish to have been able to play more missions like
"death from above" or "one shot, one kill"
Those types of missions were epic, but so short with much of the game being infantry which imo, would be refreshing to see a bit less of just cause that style of play is so prevalent in most fps games.

so, i got some high hopes for MW3.

Yes I do understand that. Thats is why I said the only reason I even have the premium elite is because I bought the harden edition. I normally dont buy all the maps anyways and stat tracking is worthless to me. I can look at my k/d w/l ratios in the games so why would I get online to look at other stuff. I also did not buy the harden edition for the elite that came "free" with it but because since I am a CoD "fanboy" I always buy the special edition.
