Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer beta gets its dates – how to join and when to play

metro.co.uk:

Activision has confirmed which dates you can take part in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer beta and what is included.

There have been leaks and rumours regarding Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer beta, but Activision and Infinity Ward have finally got round to sharing official details about when it’s taking place.

Unsurprisingly, the beta will run across two different weekends throughout September, with it being a temporary exclusive for PlayStation owners to start with. Just like how Activision handled Call Of Duty: Vanguard’s beta.

As for what the beta will entail, Activision is saving the specifics for its Call Of Duty: Next live stream, but it promises ‘a robust multiplayer experience going beyond the core 6v6 experience with a variety of meticulously designed maps of various sizes, and an equally impressive set of modes, progression experiences, and other aspects.’

That said, it has revealed one new map for the game: Marina Bay Grand Prix, a racing circuit where gunfights take place within the main infield rather than on the racetrack itself.

You’ll also be able to earn in-game rewards just by playing the beta and if you’ve pre-ordered the Vault Edition of Modern Warfare 2, you can use the four extra operators and FJX Cinder Weapon Vault that come with it in the beta too.

Like we said, the beta is divided across two weekends. The first one is only for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 and runs from September 16 at 6pm BST to September 20.

However, the first two days will be exclusive to anyone who has pre-ordered the game. Starting from September 18, the beta will open to all PlayStation users.

The second weekend runs from September
