The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gameplay, and some lucky fans may get their hands on the modern FPS soon.
As a follow-up to 2019's reboot of the modern sub-series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will let players engage in realistic and heart-pounding battles across a variety of modes. The title's single-player campaign will pick up where Modern Warfare left off, while also reintroducing iconic characters like John "Soap" MacTavish and Simon "Ghost" Riley. Modern Warfare 2 will also see the return of the franchise's iconic competitive multiplayer mode, along with the cooperative narrative-driven Special Ops experience. Little has been seen of the title's multiplayer, but Infinity Ward promises to deliver another robust and exciting experience. Modern Warfare 2 reveal reactions were mixed, but soon gamers could be able to try out the title for themselves.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, the start date of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer beta may have been leaked by Amazon. Gamers who pre-order the game will receive access to a closed multiplayer beta before release, and according to Amazon these beta codes will be sent out on August 15. While this in no way confirms that the beta will start on that day, presumably codes will be sent on or around the beta's start date. If this information is accurate, fans will be experiencing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer gameplay in only two short months.
The title's closed beta is very exciting, and PC gamers will also be able to experience CoD: Modern Warfare 2 on Steam following the series' recent absence from the platform. The last Call of Duty title to release on Steam was 2017's Call of Duty: WW2, with subsequent titles being distributed through Blizzard's Battle.net platform instead. Modern Warfare 2 will bring the franchise back to Valve's popular platform, however, giving fans a larger variety of ways to run the highly-anticipated shooter.
While Infinity Ward showed off impressive single-player gameplay during Summer Game Fest, many fans are eager to actually experience Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for themselves. According to leaked information, the title's closed multiplayer beta may give fans that chance on or around August 15. This launch date is not yet confirmed, however, so only time will tell when Modern Warfare actually drops into action.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will release on October 28, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
