Call of Duty Elite makes no sense. They say that subscribing members get the map DLC for free, so what stops someone from subscribing the month before the DLC comes out, then cancelling their subscription? Maybe because they don't want to "unite", they just want to play Call of Duty, you twat.
1) **** Rat Race. 2) **** Call of Duty's community, or the lack thereof. It's just another game that got popular because of it's simplicity. (No harm in that either.) If people wanted to join a clan or something, they already would have on some random forum. I know a few people (that I know in "real life") who are a part of forums, my cousin in particular. It seems to work fine if you want to be a part of a CoD Community.
