It’s almost Call of Duty time again, gamers, and a beta test will be held for players to try it out for themselves ahead of the Oct. 23 launch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s campaign and DMZ extraction mode will be supplemented, of course, by multiplayer. With 12 new maps, new weapons, operators, and modes, there’s going to be plenty to grind for. Yes, there’ll be a lot of weapon camos too.
MW4 was playable as part of Fanatics Fest to those in attendance in New York City in July, but soon, everyone will be able to play a sampling of the game’s multiplayer. Here’s all the info about the MW4 beta revealed by Activision today.
