Is The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Elite Service worth it so far? ( MW3 )

So here is a short hub about whether it was worth purchasing the Call of Duty elite service from Infinity Ward.

Ok so i wrote a nice long guide and then it got deleted because i lost internet, so i'll try this again.

When we all went to the store to buy or pre-order call of duty modern warfare 3, i am 100% sure i, and you remember the clerk trying to persuade you to buy the Elite. They also probably tried telling you that these three things would be the key features that would make you sooooo happy and that you should spend $50.00 on the Elite for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

1- That each month for the first year, Infinity ward would come out with 3 new maps for multiplayer, and they would be free for Elite members.
2- That you would be able to have very in depth stats only available to Elite members.
3- That elite would be available ONLY to people who pay for it now.

Well lets start with number 1. Well I am glad that we ave 9 new multiplayer maps to date...... Oh im sorry i mean I am soo glad that Infinity announced that in the THIRD month the game is out, they will be releasing 4 new maps at the end of the month. Either way the only benefit of having Elite, other than them being free is that you get the maps a little earlier than everyone else. Well thats the least they can do, since that is the main feature that everyone had paid for when buying Elite.

Now number 2. According to people trying to get me to buy the Elite service a while back, i would be able to see very in depth stats and only available to people with Elite. Well first off, everyone gets it, even the free members. Also i would like to add that the stats you see are not exactly things worth seeing. Like.. if you play 8 hours a day, for 4 days then you will prestige... Umm great so i have to make call of duty my new job, to go up 1 prestige, i rather they hold that info to themselves. Or right as soon as Elite opens up.. The first thing you see is a pie chart telling you how you disperse your 4 days of gameplay, once again, didn't wanna see the fact i played that game this much so far, but thanks anyways. I am glad that i didn't pay to see a mediocre version of the Black ops stat station though. I mean i don't even get to see the body chart of where i tend to shoot people most often ( for me the groin, and the right hand).. (i assume it usually wasn't at the same time).. (but who knows).. But anyways, even to view the stats they did put, you still either have to go on your computer or opt out of the game itself to get into elite, as opposed to Black ops where you could pull it up instantly with no problems.

3- I was told that elite was only going to be Available for those who pay. They did not mention a version that would be available for everyone. Well after about a week i learned that to be false when i downloaded Elite and noticed my old username and password from the old Call Of Duties still worked.

So overall you paid for the map packs, which are more than anticipated, people have been waiting and waiting for these to come out, so hopefully we will all be satisfied by them. And i should have spec ops guides out within the first 48 hours of me playing the new maps ( hopefully we can get them within 1 week of Elite members). But either way,

Please feel free to let me know what you think of the elite service, and if you paid for it or not, and if you like it. Please keep the comments (fairly) clean, and below are some links to toher useful hubs i have previously written. thanks.
