COD Elite question

wkingsnorth · 17 Nov 2011 at 11:15

Hi, I bought the Hardened edition of MW3 for the 360 and I can't find where to put in the code, as the code that comes with it only uses 4 characters per set, and the xbox uses 5, so I'm 5 characters short of the 25 needed to redeem. Help?

You do it on the website that is on the back of the founder card.

something like www.callofduty.com/founder

I've not got the game, but is there a store in the game anywhere? Fifa uses a similar system and you do it from within the game, not the Xbox Marketplace.

That's the website, but there's nowhere to enter the code

Look at the back of the little elite leaflet which came with the Hardened edition, all codes are on there

That's because the website isn't activated yet.

Due to the issues at launch they have extended the registration date for founder status. You only need that code after that date.

If you login (if you were a beta user) or create an account now and download the Elite application from the marketplace, you will get 'founder' status and wont need the code.

How do I activate my free 12 months elite then?

With the code card in the box, it's the dlc code (with the avatar codes on) not the code on the founder card.

the way I did it was to submit the elite code (on the same leaflet as the jugganaut suit) on the xbox redeem code function, it then attached the code to my XBL ID, I then installed elite as prompted and it asked me to attach it to an account with elite, badabingbadaboom it all worked and I got the founder perks on my account ingame.

for the record;

NONE of this was done on the PC, all on my xbox, anytime I did try it just errored out and was an awful experience.

With that said, a few days on I am able to view my account online with the correct facebook + XBL account attached.
