Ridley Scott Working On ‘Call of Duty: Elite’ Content. Srsly? Interesting.

There’s nothing that’s going to get me to subscribe to Call of Duty: Elite. Right? Well maybe if signing up gets you the Call of Duty DLC deluge for a reduced price. Or. Or. Or if Ridley Scott released something so asshole-quiveringly dope through the service that my fanboy soul needs it. This is somehow, oddly, a distinct possibility now that Scott has signed-up to provide the service with new content.

Kotaku:

Call of Duty Elite, Activision’s bid to make their billion-dollar shooter more community driven, will be getting some “exclusive episodic entertainment” from the likes of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and  Ridley Scott, the company said during a recent presentation.

Speaking to a gathering at the  13th Annual Pacific Crest Global Technology Leadership Forum  in Vail, Colorado, Activision publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that Activision is developing “exclusive episodic entertainment built just for the Call of Duty community. We are working with the likes of Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, Ben Silverman (we assume that’s The Office executive producer) and Ridley and Tony Scott to create this content.”

“Just like any other passion that people spend a lot of their free time doing, Call of Duty players share a common language and a common experience and we think we can create some entertainment content that they will love and talk about and share.”

I definitely didn’t see this coming. I wonder what constitutes ‘new content’? Scott-designed maps? Short films shot in his gloriously exploited and over-played shaky cam style? I need to know. Need to.
