The next installment in the Call of Duty franchise is finally upon us, with Modern Warfare 3 continuing right where fans left off. The game will officially launch on Nov. 10, but for those who want to test out all of the new features earlier, the MW3 beta is almost ready to go as well.
Players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC will get to try out all of the new features and weapons being brought to the game, while also diving into some revamped versions of classic maps from the original version of Modern Warfare 2, including iconic locations like Highrise, Terminal, and Rust.
There will only be a few maps initially available during the MW3 beta, but more maps will be unlocked as the beta continues forward. The beta is also unlocking at different times for different platforms, which means that some players will be getting their hands on the game a bit sooner than their fellow operators.
When does the MW3 beta end?
The MW3 beta will officially end on Oct. 16, but there are plenty of other dates to keep track of as well.
