Remember back in 2011 when Activision’s ambitious online service dedicated to the Call of Duty franchise and its players was going to be thebest thing ever? It’s shutting down forever on February 28. That’s skull logo has never been more appropriate.

Meant as a platform to carry the Call of Duty franchise into the future, the Elite service lasted through three games. It launched with Modern Warfare 3, went completely free with Black Ops II, and then things sort of fizzled out. Activision took the best of Elite, packed it into the new Call of Duty appapp along with some fresh new features, and began turning off the lights.
On February 28 at around 1PM Eastern, Elite will close. Clans and clan rewards created with the service will disappear. Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops II stats will still be available in-game, but without Elite what is the point?

Good night, little skull logo.
