  • Call Of Duty Android App Released On The Android Market! Download Now!

    After releasing the iPhone version, Activision has finally pushed the Android version of Call Of Duty Elite to the Android Market. Requiring a free (or paid if you want the premier functions), the app helps you track your Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops multiplayer progress wherever you go.

    After using for a couple of hours I can sadly confirm that this app is a very shoddy iOS port. The back button doesn’t work, there are numerous force closes, bugs and glitches. I hope the devs fix these as soon as possible as the iOS version works much better.
