Call Of Duty So Popular, Elite Servers Shutting Down

By Mark Lorenz on November 9th, 2011

Today was the day we’ve all been waiting for – for the newest installment of the Call of Duty series to take over our televisions, attract Kanye West to play concerts, and make more money for the highest-grossing entertainment franchise of all time.

Additionally, sales of funyons and bong-related accessories have probably skyrocketed. Modern Warfare 3, the sequel to Modern Warfare 2, has hit stores with a vengeance, breaking sales records and allowing scads of teenage boys to mock each other through their headsets. Unfortunately, they also launched a service that isn’t working so well, and causing millions of gamers to try to crush their headsets into a tiny paste.

Call of Duty : Elite is the service that’ll allow people to see respawn points, kill/death ratios, and nerd out even more over Call of Duty the way your godawful and annoying co-worker would obsessively check their fantasy football scores. Unfortunately, after millions of registrations for the service, it has crashed and flopping dead on the internet the way so many bluegill are flopping around the boat of a Midwest fisherman.

Having a problem of too many users is the best possible problem you can have for a videogame. I mean, nobody’s clamoring to be playing the new Sonic the Hedgehog.

Pick up Modern Warfare today.
