Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta players have access to more maps and game modes than were available in the game's first beta weekend, Infinity Ward has announced. The first beta weekend for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 took place a week ago and was exclusive to PlayStation gamers. Now the second beta weekend has started, with access opening to PC and Xbox Call of Duty fans. Infinity Ward has taken the opportunity to offer up an even deeper look at what will be included in Modern Warfare 2.
The first weekend of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's beta was surprisingly concise. Just four playlists and three maps were initially offered, including Team Deathmatch, Domination, Prisoner Rescue, and Knockout on Farm 18, Mercado las Armas, and Breenbergh Hotel. By the end of the weekend, two more playlists had been added, Search & Destroy and 3rd Person POV. No other maps were added for the beta's first weekend.

For Call of Duty fans that aren't interested in large matches with dozens of players, there's still all the same 6v6 Multiplayer content that was available the first
