A couple things.

A) MW3 wasn't the first game to implement a Season Pass Type system, in fact, CoD was one of the last series to pick up the trend.

B) The season pass costs less money than all four DLC's combined, so it's a good deal.

C) "Activision could now make more money off of releasing less, and earlier as well." If this is in response to the fact that they gave ELITE subscribers early DLC, then this is just misguided. They gave ELITE Season Pass holders early and free access to content that was later released as a traditional map pack. Plus, they didn't release less of it. MW3 currently holds the record for most DLC content out of all the Call of Duty games. Even if your just counting the MP maps, MW3 still holds the record with 30+ maps.
