Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2(opens in new tab) is set to go into full release on October 28, but if you preorder you can jump into the campaign a full eight days earlier, on October 20.

Activision clarified that this preload is strictly for the singleplayer campaign: Preloading for the full launch, which will also include multiplayer and special ops, will begin at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on October 26. Modern Warfare 2 will finally, fully unlock at 9 pm PT on October 27, which as illustrated in the handy map below is actually October 28 in most of the rest of the world.
