Activision launched the new service alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 a few hours ago, but as CVG are reporting the service has already encountered some problems. The Call of Duty Elite service has been launched for the more hardcore COD players out there, but it seems it has been overwhelmed with demand.

These problems seem to be caused by the sheer number of gamers trying to log into the service. Problems have been noted though and the Call of Duty Twitter feed posted “We are aware of the issue”, and added that the “Surge of new Elite registrations is creating reg & login issues. Teams are working now to increase capacity”

The actual Elite homepage also notes the problems and asks users to be patient, and states that users don’t need to change their password as the issue is being caused by a load issue. It does look like the actual service is working fine; it’s just getting signed in that is causing a problem. Users are also being advised that all their COD Elite data is being safely recorded and will be available once issues have been ironed out.

Early problems may have gone away already and with such a huge amount of gamers trying to log on at once may overwhelmed the games servers temporarily. Is the service working ok for you now?

Chris Smith from TechRadar is reporting that even though Activision called time on the franchise at the beginning of this year, Guitar Hero could be back next year. Dan Winters President of Activision has said the Guitar Hero was just on a ‘hiatus’, and could even be returning as early as next year.

He was talking to gaming industry publication gamesindustry.biz, and said the franchise will defiantly be back and added “we’re not ending it”. This is after the company told the world back in February they were ending the franchise due to falling sales of the game.

This will probably be a good idea by Activision as the franchise was once successful and will still have many fans loyal to the game. If it has a break for a while when a new title does eventually come out it could see many fans ready for an update. There is also the chance that people who have yet to play the game having a look as well.

Would you like to see another Guitar Hero title coming out next year?
