The Call of Duty Elite beta begins tomorrow and the first wave of people selected to be testers will be informed today.
Activision's 'social media guy' Dan Amrich reiterated that 2 million people in total applied via email to be part of the Elite beta.
He said that as many people as possible will be crammed into Elite pre-release but beta access will be done in waves, with the first wave being pretty small.
"It's hard to give specific numbers for these questions, since both of these depend on the system itself," he said in an Elite FAQ.
"Remember, this is a live beta with an evolving system - it's like entering the Indy 500 while the car is still being built. As long as the system can remain stable, more people will be invited as frequently as possible - as many and as often as the system can accommodate."
The beta itself will use Black Ops data with news of its Modern Warfare 3 integration being discussed at the Call of Duty XP convention. Elite will officially launch with Modern Warfare 3 on November 8.

They are going into beta but have yet to tell anyone what the features are for the subscription end of the service. Are they only beta testing the free features of the service at this point and letting the subscribers beta test the features they are paying for?

I am sure people are not stupid enough to believe it's going to be a AAA service while it's in beta. The beginning it will be buggy as hell. That's what beta testing is for.
