Yep. You only pay for clan features, media, and DLC. Maybe some other stuff. But stat tracking is 100% definitely free.
They announced a Video for today, which will explain the integration of elite in MW3 (also watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzC3p5fy4hE )
Elite is a external Application which has to be downloaded befor the first use (seen in screenshots on charlieintel.com).
As we saw in IGNs livestream, in every game mode the scoreboard is the same (not like in BLOPS). Score, kills, deaths, assists. So i think that most of the stats only will be in elite. i don't mind, but i liked the stats in BLOPS though...
and again: CoD Elite, what's included? -> http://www.callofduty.com/elite/whats-included

Damn, I didnt realize there was a leaderboard on this Mtn. Dew Double XP thing. The top guy has

16 DAYS! Holy fuck.
I figure people like this must work at a place where you have access to a lot of empty pop bottles or something, damn.

So I can dl the COD ELITE app to my Iphone 4S to check my stats, leader boards and change weapon/perk/killstreak load outs on the go. So awesome.
Also according to that COD XP event video, you can see the spots where you died and got kills in a map... reminds me a lot of bungie.net's feature. Bungie must have helped extensively on COD elite....

Got a 360 promo copy.
Oh gawd, It's the same old but it feels soooooo good.
Gameplay beats the crap out of BF3, wich I didn't really liked.
Technically looks old, but those 60FPS are amazing. Yesterday I could only play the two first levels and that's like the

Ahhh. You are correct, sir.
"A maximum of 24 hours worth of XP minutes per Gamer ID throughout the Promotion Period."
Then I figured these people are still getting a shit ton of entries into things you can win, like the Jeep, the special edition MW3 360, etc. but then
"A maximum of 750 Code entries per person/Account throughout the Promotion Period."

I hope when they do Double XP Weekends, that counts towards gun XP also.

It's only available in the Specialist strike package. You have to get 25 kills all with your gun or equipment without dying. When deployed, it kills all enemies on the map and places them under a permanent EMP the rest of the match. It does not end the game.jgminto said:

This has probably been mentioned before, but isnt everyone just going to use the undetectable/silence perks?
In other Modern Warfares there seemed to be a decent choice, but now the only ones that seem worthwhile are Assassins/Dead silent/Blind eye.
I want stopping power back! Not because I want to use, but so that everyone else uses it while I sneak around

i think it's not down to the specialist strike package, but there more likely to get... 25 gun kills with assault package will do it too...
@Adamm:
i think in BLOPS was a Ghost-Problem, because in Tier 1 wasn't any competition. For beeing a "ghost" in MW3 you have to use 2 perks (instead of only one), blind eye/assassin and you give up other great perks like overkill, quickdraw ... recon (drone and perk) can tag assassin players, i don't think it will be a problem. let's just talk again in 3-4 weeks. maybe there is much more bullshit in the game, than just these perks.
Well I'll be using Quick Draw and Blast Shield quite a bit. And all of the yellow perks are extremely useful. Blind Eye is probably the best of the blue tier but I'll still be using Extreme Conditioning and Sleight of Hand on some classes.Adamm said:This has probably been mentioned before, but isnt everyone just going to use the undetectable/silence perks?

Overall, I agree that Assassin will be used a lot. Blindeye will get use, but I think a lot less than Assassin.
For Tier 2:
Flak Jacket was a very viable alternative to Ghost in Blops. Blast Shield vs Assassin should be the same relationship.
I think a lot of people will pair Quickdraw with Sleight of Hand.
Hardline will probably be used more in public lobbies with beginning players, but some people just can't get enough of their Hardline.
Overkill is garbage. I wish they would've put a viable perk here instead. Would've been nice to have a new creative perk since many are just divided perks or retreads.
For Tier 1:
I don't think we'll get a good idea of how good Blindeye is until we get a better handle of how much crap is in the air in a given match. If a lot of players find themselves gravitating towards Support because it's easier to get the bigger streaks, then Blindeye might not have the same value as when it was paired with Cold-Blooded or Ghost Pro.
Hacker Pro was insanely good in Blops, but I know a lot of people still ran Marathon in Blops for their third perk. I think people will still use Extreme Conditioning as well.
Sleight of Hand will be used a lot. The benefits of Blindeye aren't immediately visible since it's determined by what you're not getting killed by. The benefits of SoH are immediate and many, many people ran with it in Blops. If they want the full benefits of Blops' version of SoH, then they have to give up both Blindeye and Assassin.
Scavenger is pretty good for run 'n' gunners, and the fact that it can now be paired with Assassin makes me think that we might see it used for Stealth SMG classes rather than Blindeye in some cases.
I'm interested in Recon, but I don't think it'll be game-changing. At least it's completely new.
For Tier 3:
This is the most interesting tier for me.
Dead Silence is great, but now it can be countered by SitRep. Also, both SitRep and Stalker give great situational awareness to the stealth player, so I'm not convinced Dead Silence will be the default choice.
Both SitRep and Stalker can potentially save the stealth player from Bouncing Betties or Claymores, which seems to be the last way to detect your otherwise stealthy entrance into a building.
I'm very curious to see if Steady Aim gets play. It seemed neglected in Blops because it was in the same tier as Sleight of Hand. If you were going to rush, you'd just use faster ADS AND faster reloading. Now, you can get better chances in a gunfight over situational awareness. Because there's few other gunfight perks in this slot (although Stalker lets you move faster in ADS), Steady Aim might get some play, even over Dead Silence.
Marksman is too specialized to factor into the breakdown.

Got to finally sit down with a bunch of uninterrupted LAN MW3 multiplayer tonight. Servers still weren't up. I don't have the game myself yet but I'm going to hunt it down soon.
Going to try and post a quick impressions vid tomorrow if you guys are curious how the game feels and how some of the new mechanics are.

It seems like a cool idea to me. You can still put up a fight and doesn't end the game.

My first COD game i got into online was Black Ops, and i noticed that my favorite weapon The Commando is not in the Assault rifle list. Is it just under a different name? Or did they remove my favorite gun?

They could at least use the newer variations of it, like they do in BF3
