PlayStation Network Scheduled Maintenance on Sunday
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media

“As you may recall, we had postponed our scheduled PlayStation Network maintenance session from last Thursday to a time to be announced. It is now determined that maintenance will take place tomorrow (Sunday, March 4).

This significant PSN maintenance period is expected to start at just after noon Pacific and will last for several hours, until approximately 2am Pacific on Monday, March 5. Unlike typical maintenance events, consumers who are already signed-in to PSN will be signed-out, and consumers will be unable to sign in for the duration of the maintenance window. During this time, users won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management or play online. PSN enabled websites will not be able to service users, including this one.

Please stay tuned to the PlayStation Twitter feed for a notice when PSN is fully back online. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

2:40 pm in ELITE, MW3 by BuckeyeTC

Watch video, then do the math. IMHO it is obvious that the Clan that “won” the “Sticky Fingers” ELITE CLAN OPS Feb 24 on PS3 cheated. I will present the case and you decide. Did they cheat or not?

CODUBUNKER Clan [BnKr] played the entire 3 hours and below is our legitimate scores. (Not saying we are the Beastliest clan in the world…..But to get beat by 5x the score, C’mon!!!!)

CODBUNKER Results

top six captures: gave us 543 Caps
1 CODBUNKER-COM =112
2 xJetTrooperx =111
3 The_1mmortel =95
4 lowersioux =93
5 UpperSIOUX =84
6 DJAc34 =78
7 death_by_me75 =54
8 mamgod03 =23
9 deathby187 =19
10 SOCOM-STEVEN =15

the “Winner” Clan xDyNasTyGaMiinGx with 2678 caps (almost 5x ours)
1 xEaXiS_ =469
2 IFaMouZzI =460
3 badcompany04435 =457
4 OgS-Snlp3r =455
5 MDMA195 =443
6 Cheeky_Rascal =394

BNKR is happy with our top 10% performance, yet We believe that the “true” winner (whoever they may be) are being shortchanged by these (IMHO) cheaters.
Your thoughts?

Here is a quick breakdown and video of Clan Operations for Call of Duty Elite so sign up and get to ranking up your CLAN :D

Highlights as taken from Activision’s support page (full list and link at bottom)

Clan Operations are competitions which score players and Clans based on a specific statistic in a selected game mode over a pre-set period of time. Operations can range from Most Team Deathmatch Kills to Most Captures in Domination, generally last for three to four hours, and award real prizes and ELITE badges.

Clan Operations award Clan XP.

ONLY the scores of up to six Premium members of your Clan will count towards winning prizing.

Your Clan Leader must enlist your Clan into a Clan Operation through the “Compete” section of the ELITE website.

Prizes are awarded according to the Winning Criteria of a Clan Operation and your Clan’s performance on the Clan Operation Leaderboard.

An example of winning Criteria:
- Champion: Single best Clan
- Gold: 90-100%
- Silver: 75-90%
- Bronze: 50 75%

Only Premium members who are in the same region as their Clan Leader are eligible for physical prizing in Clan Operations.

Premium members in every region are eligible for Clan Operation digital prizing (badges & Clan XP).

You can confirm that your Clan is enlisted by checking the Clan Operation detail page. Your clan will show up as “Enlisted”

Some Clan Operations will offer real prizes and digital prizes such as badges and Clan XP as well.

Dependent upon the type and value of a prize, it may take seven to ten days after the conclusion of the Event or Operation to verify and notify potential winners by email.

You can tell which players’ scores count by checking the top 6 Premium members listed in the Your Clan’s Performance section of the Clan Operations details page.

Clan Operations earn your Clan XP within ELITE. This is separate to XP earned within the game.

The initial Clan Operations that will be made available are:

Co-Op Warriors – Highest Total Kills: Core Team Deathmatch

Sticky Fingers – Highest Total Captures: Core Domination

Flagged for Removal – Highest Total Defends: Core Domination

Clans can receive badges for their Clan Showcase and Clan XP to progress their Clan Level based off their performance in Clan Operations based off their performance. Clan Level unlocks include:

Clan members can participate in different lobbies.

You can find upcoming and in-progress Clan Operations by visiting the Compete section at https://elite.callofduty.com/compete
