With Xbox 360 gamers currently testing out Activision’s new subscription-based multiplayer service, Call Of Duty: Elite – and PS3 gamers getting access to the beta phase in the next few weeks – we did assume that PC gamers wouldn’t be left too far behind.

Unfortunately, PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer as Activision confirmed today that it won’t be available “until the Fall.” Call Of Duty Elite will launch alongside Modern Warfare 3 on November 8, which is currently set to overtake records lay down by the company’s previous blockbuster, Call Of Duty: Black Ops.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders are already tracking significantly ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops at the same time last year," GAME Group's Managing Director, Tom Levine told MCV.

Taking into account that Black Ops is the biggest selling U.K. game of all time then that’s no mean feat.

"We know that the Call of Duty brand and franchise has the most amazing fan-base and we've got some great surprises lined up for those who pre-order with us. We're looking forward to an incredible launch on November 8th," he concluded.
