According to Gamerzines, Elite member players will get access to all the Modern Warfare 3 DLC.
“I’m very happy to tell you that an Elite membership will be an all-inclusive membership,” said Jamie Berger, Activision’s VP of Digital. “That means that it’s going to provide full access to all Modern Warfare 3 DLC as part of the membership.”
Such a purchase – which is still unpriced – would also grant access to a “full suite of services year-round and beyond Modern Warfare 3.”
Berger re-iterates that there’s no charge beyond the price of game for just playing online. “Call of Duty does not and will not charge for multiplayer,” he said, “and that is our continued commitment to our players.”
“Additionally if you’re the type of guy who just likes buying map packs on their own, that’s not a problem,” Berger added. “We’re going to continue to offer map packs for Modern Warfare 3 a la carte as a continued option for our players.”
Sounds like the dedicated hardcore Call of Duty players won’t be able to miss this at all. Everyone else can pick and choose…
Update: looks like we might have misinterpreted the original story here. There’s no ‘premium’ service above and beyond the Elite service. Apologies for that, the story has been adjusted.

Thank God for that update.
I still think that this is a waste of money, but it’s not AS bad now.

I feel the same mate,no disrespect to Cod players but run and gun just isn’t for me,although they did reel me in with that damn rolling stones ad last year.
Also at least a scheme like this allows people to try the Mp before committing further to it.

Remember kids it uber cool to be anti cod fans these days! Instead of leaving the fans to enjoy there specific gaming and to spend there money on how they want just go on every COD news blog story and whinge about how you don’t like it and etcetc.
PS.
How much does world of Warcraft or any other pay monthly gaming cost including Internet fees and PC? I guess there all suckers and losers cause they like what gaming they like!
And yes I will be investing in this MW3 premium, and I don’t see why on earth anybody who does like it can even comment on how I spend my hard earned cash

They are a business after all. Bf3 is already pre ordered.

If this is priced at say £40 for a year and perhaps for free with the Prestige Edition, then I would have to say this is looking like quite a good deal.
