Call of Duty Web Series Coming With Elite

The Call of Duty Elite announcement made this week was met with a great deal of anger and confusion from players. It is, in actuality, a free service that charges a monthly subscription for certain content. The confusion stems from a number of things, including the way the news was made public, but it hasn't helped that Activision is unwilling to specify the exact cost of the service or which of its components will be free and which will be premium extras.

Falling into the latter category is a new Call of Duty web series that is set to be produced. In an interview with The Guardian, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said, "We have engaged some top Hollywood talent to create linear video content that will be exclusive to Elite members. That content is inspired by Call of Duty." He didn't go on to specify if it would be directly connected to the Modern Warfare games in particular.

Saying it's working with Hollywood makes it sound as if the series will be live action, not animated. Specifics aren't being shared as of yet so that detail remains up in the air. "We're not going to give much more detail until we have something to show. That'll be later in the year," Hirshberg said.
