The beta will be utilizing Call of Duty: Black Ops as a test for select features such as stat tracking, the use of custom player groups, competitive events and video sharing. This will be a limited set of features that will be expanded when the service is launched alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 8.
Members who opt to take advantage of premium content with Elite will receive all downloadable content for Modern Wafare 3 for free, as well as 20 pieces of new in-game content that will be spaced out during a 9 month downloadable content “season”.
The beta had been launched on the Xbox 360 last July, while plans for a PC beta were ditched.
