Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 walktrough

Frequently Asked Questions

Before we get to some FAQs regarding Call of Duty Elite, we want to share three
guiding principles of the service.

GIVING YOU MORE THAN EVER BEFORE (AND TAKING NOTHING AWAY) - With over 30
million online players around the world, the Call of Duty community is too
large and diverse to create a one size fits all approach, and Call of Duty
Elite must be purely additive to the experience. The Call of Duty "out of the
box" experience that our players expect: a great single player campaign, co-op
missions, and the deepest and most accessible multiplayer anywhere -- at no
additional cost -- remains the same as ever. Our promise to you is this: Elite
only adds to the Call of Duty experience. Nothing will be taken away from the
experience you know and love. If you want to continue to play Call of Duty as
you always have, you will still be able to do just that, including the ability
to buy Map Packs ala carte. With Call of Duty Elite, we're adding a new choice
for those who want to get even more out of the game. Even haters can play for free.

THE BEST FREE SERVICE ON THE MARKET – How can we say that this is the best? We
believe that the free elements of Call of Duty Elite will be superior to any
free service currently on the market because we are offering more features than
any other service out there. Additionally, many of Elite's free features which
will debut with Modern Warfare 3 are industry firsts and offer a new level of
innovation.

A selection of Elite's free features will let you:

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?

Analyze advanced heat maps detailing your match-by-match performance – where
you killed or got killed, when it happened, and more

Analyze 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

After you analyze your performance to your heart's content - Customize 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 – find people who make the game the most fun for you – TDM,
Lakers' fans, Weekend Warriors

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

And that's just the beginning. The service will continue to evolve and we will
continue to add new features.

A PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP THAT RESETS THE BAR - The premium membership of Call of
Duty Elite (which is completely optional) will set a new gold standard for what
the multiplayer and community experience for a console game can be. Why are we
not revealing all of the features that are part of the premium service today?
Simple. Because the service was designed to be deeply integrated with Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and will not be demonstrable until we are closer to the
launch of the game. We know seeing is believing, and over the next few months
we will be revealing and demonstrating more of the premium features and by the
end of the summer, we will reveal the entire service in full.

The reason we announced the service today was so we could begin recruiting for
a free beta with the multiplayer community of Call of Duty: Black Ops, which
will allow us to test the service at scale. This is a critical step to us
launching the service successfully this fall. So we appreciate your patience.

Is Elite a new website?

We're on the web of course, but we're designing Call of Duty Elite to be widely
accessible and customized for a number of platforms -- via web browsers,
through the game, and through mobile applications as well – including iPhone
and iPad, as well as Android tablets and smartphones.

Will you be charging for multiplayer?

No, we are offering players more choice and are not taking anything away from
our fans. If you like playing the way you always have, with a great campaign,
co-op and multiplayer experience out of the box, then you can. Additionally,
many of Elite's key features that we've listed will be free to all Call of Duty
players.

What about stats? Do I get free access to my stats with Elite?

Absolutely. Elite's Career section gives players an in-depth look at
statistical details of their own performance and gameplay as well as that of
the entire Call of Duty community, including heat maps, load-outs, stat trends,
custom leaderboards, and integration of your Facebook friends. The Career
section is free to all registered users.

How will Elite compare to free offerings that currently exist?

We believe that the free elements of Elite alone will be better than any free
service currently on the market today. Elite ups the ante of any free service
by offering a range of innovations on well-established multiplayer features,
such as leaderboards, heat maps, and rich player data. Additionally, other
Elite features are completely new to the industry. For example, with Elite's
new Groups featured integrated with Modern Warfare 3, you will be able to join
custom groups based on your likes, interests, or affiliations, and then have
those groups follow you directly into the game. Soon you'll be playing in a
social group, making new friends (and rivals!) who play Call of Duty and share
your interests, home town, or play style.

Is there a beta? When can I try Elite for myself?

Elite will officially launch this fall with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but
you can try key features earlier with our free public beta test. In order to
deliver the best possible launch this fall, we need to test the service at
scale and get your feedback on key features. The Beachhead team is working with
Treyarch to hold a public beta this summer for Elite with the multiplayer
community of Call of Duty: Black Ops. The earlier you sign up, the earlier you
can play. All you need to do to sign up is register your email address and
gamer tag. Sign up now at www.callofduty.com/elite.

Will the beta include everything that comes at launch in November?

Because Elite was designed to be deeply integrated into Modern Warfare 3, not
all of the features will be able to be part of the free beta with Call of Duty:
Black Ops. You will get to try a number of key features, but the beta will
still be just a slice of the full service that launches with Modern Warfare 3
in November. We plan to test some specific features, such as the Program Guide
and Groups. However, a number of new features and services will be coming
online specifically with Modern Warfare 3. Additionally, a number of our
dedicated applications will be launching this November as well.

Can you tell me more about what "Connect, Compete, Improve" means?

Connect: Elite will give our players unprecedented control over their Call of
Duty multiplayer experience, transforming it into a true social experience.
Players can compete against friends, players of similar skill levels, players
with similar interests. Connect will include:

Find and join Groups of people with similar interests

Create Clans, which are player groups that can compete with other Clans in
organized competition

Track your performance, progress and activity within your Groups and Clans
through mobile and web interfaces

Upload and share your videos with your Groups and Clans

Access high-quality original video programming, tailored to people who love
Call of Duty

Elite will help players to connect with the Call of Duty community 24/7.

Compete: Call of Duty players want to compete, but are looking for a way to do
it that fits their skill and style.

The Program Guide, gives players a choice of dozens of daily and weekly
competitive Events, individual and clan Operations, official Leagues, and
Tournaments all tailored to different skill levels

These competitions will offer both digital and real prizes - everything from
digital trophies and badges to a new Jeep

Improve: Everyone wants to improve their game, and Elite will be like having a
personal online coach.

It provides players with a dynamic strategy guide that tracks their statistics
and performances -- down to minute details -- showing gamers how they stack up
against their friends or others in the community

Improve will offer continually evolving professional tips and advice. Tools and
information are provided so players can learn and up their game, regardless if
you're a newer player or level 15 Prestige

The Program Guide sounds cool, but I'm an average player. How can I have a
chance to participate in competition?

Just like a sport, we believe competing in Call of Duty should be fun and
accessible regardless of skill. Highly skilled players may want to join the
most competitive Leagues and Tournaments, while a more moderate player can find
Operations, Events and Clan competitions that are tailored based on their skill
level or particular play style. We want all Elite players to find a range of
competition that fits them, and gives them a chance to succeed.

Is Elite only for hardcore players?

Connect, Compete and Improve are universal needs regardless of skill, and Elite
has been tailored for Call of Duty's diverse base of players. If you are a
hardcore "Prestige" player or a casual weekend warrior, you can enjoy
personalized communities, daily competition and events, community-generated
video content, and a dynamic strategy guide that tracks your statistics and
performance trends. Elite also will offer high-production value, original
entertainment programming designed exclusively for the Call of Duty community.
Different players will use Elite in different ways, but we want there to be
something for everyone.

Will Elite support Call of Duty: Black Ops?

Yes. Because Elite was designed to be deeply integrated into Modern Warfare 3,
not all of the features will be able to be part of the beta with Black Ops this
summer. When Modern Warfare 3 launches this fall, players will be able to have
a unified relationship through Elite – they can create a single profile in
Elite and build their career in Call of Duty that will carry forward as they
play every supported Call of Duty game.

How is Elite different with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3?

The Beachhead team has been working closely with Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer
Games to build Elite from the ground up to support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
3. When Elite launches this November, the service will include a number of
all-new features and innovations being built directly by Infinity Ward and
Sledgehammer Gamesinto the new game. For example, your Elite community Group
and Clan affiliations and identity will be incorporated directly into Modern
Warfare 3.

When will Elite launch?

The service will launch with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this November 8th,
2011.

Where will Elite be available?

Elite will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. In addition, there
will be custom Elite applications available on iOS and Android tablets and
smartphones.

How can I become a member?

With the roll out of the Call of Duty Elite beta this summer on Call of Duty:
Black Ops, players can sign up on www.callofduty.com/elite to queue up for
participation. Once the platform officially launches with Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 3 on November 8th, players will be able to enter the service in through
a variety of ways, which we will be announcing later this year.

So, if I just want to buy Map Packs standalone, I can still do that?

Yes. Call of Duty Elite has been built around the tenets of value and choice.
To us that choice means that players who purchase Modern Warfare 3, who want to
extend the game may prefer the option of a map pack. We will continue to offer
that option. So if you want to just buy a map pack only, no problem.

If I get the premium membership to Elite, do I really get all of the DLC?

Yes. Elite is an all-inclusive membership, and that means you get all of the
playable game DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as part of your premium
membership. No need to buy additional DLC.

Will there be Customer Service?

Absolutely. It's a priority for us that Elite membership comes with 24/7
worldwide customer service. We will have a team dedicated to programming,
administration, and service, starting with our public beta this summer.

Why announce now if you can't show us all the Modern Warfare 3 launch features
and pricing?

Elite was designed from the ground up to integrate with Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 3. Therefore, many of the services which will be a part of the premium
membership will not be able to be demonstrated fully until the launch of Modern
Warfare 3. The reason we launched the service ahead of that time was to invite
people to participate in a public beta of the service using Black Ops, which
will help to test the service at scale and fine tune it before its official
release this November. The premium membership to Elite also will include many
industry firsts, and will represent the ultimate Call of Duty experience.

Are you letting people buy prestige weapons or levels through Elite?

No, players are not able to buy prestige weapons or levels through Elite. While
Call of Duty Elite wants to help people become better players, there's still
only one way to level up to new weapons, XP and prestige, and that's to earn it
in game.

When will launch details be released?

Throughout the summer we will be talking about Elite in detail, so stay tuned
for more information.

Who is Beachhead Studios?

Beachhead is a new development studio, who is creating the Elite service for
the Call of Duty franchise. We are entirely focused on making Elite the best
gaming service in the world, and improving it every day. Our Beachhead Studio
will be supporting our Call of Duty games throughout the year.
