The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Early Access Beta has officially begun, with PlayStation players pouring into the lobbies and taking out the competition with the all-new improvements that come with this new era of CoD.
We’ve had a chance to play the Beta and have all the great information you need to know once you decide to take on the beta. It’s important to note that the only ones playing right now are those who pre-ordered the game for a PlayStation console, so all players across the other platforms are going to have a chance to test it out in the coming days too.
