With the official launch just over a month away, the first open beta weekend for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 kicks off today. Here’s what you need to know about the beta’s dates and how to get in.
Modern Warfare 3’s beta is a little complicated in how it’s rolling out, as this first weekend will only be available to PlayStation players. The whole beta runs from October 6 at 10 am PT to October 10 at 10 am PT. However, the first two days will only be open to anyone who’s pre-ordered the game on PS4 or PS5. After that, starting on October 8, anyone on either platform will be able to join. You can also enter our code contest for a shot at a Modern Warfare 3 beta code.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 modes available from Call of Duty:
- Team Deathmatch: Use teamwork to eliminate enemy players and reach the score limit.
- Domination: Capture and hold up to three flags to gain points for your team.
- Hardpoint: Capture and hold the Hardpoint (a zone that shifts to several locations during the match) to earn points for your team.
- Kill Confirmed (Open Beta): Team Deathmatch with a twist. Eliminate enemies and grab the Dog Tags they drop to score for your team. Pick up your teammate’s tags to deny the enemy from scoring.
- Ground War: Large-scale conflict featuring vehicles. Capture and hold objectives to score. Capturing objectives opens forward spawning locations for your team, like Domination, but with more objectives.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 maps available:
- Estate
- Skidrow
- Rust
- Popov Power (Ground War)
The second weekend of the beta will take place from October 12 to October 16, and this time will feature all platforms. Similarly, early access will be available for the first two days for anyone who’s pre-ordered on any platform.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launches on November 10 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
