Activision has confirmed that Beta invitations Call of Duty Elite have been sent out to a lucky few (or unlucky if the beta is a bit rubbish) fans.Activision's social media manager Dan Amrich commented, "The first wave will be very small. It will grow with time, so you might not get in immediately. Don't let that worry you; slow and steady is part of the plan. It has to be, or this won't work at all."
