Call of Duty Elite will soon be no more. Activision said it is shutting down its Call of Duty Elite social networking service on Feb. 28.

The Call of Duty Elite service launched in 2011 with a lot of fanfare alongside the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 video game. The $50 service gave players extra social features like skill tracking, clan management, and performance analysis of how they did in multiplayer matches.
