A series of beta tests for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have been scheduled to test the shooter's multiplayer aspect before its 10th November release. Players on PS5 and PS4 will get a crack at the game first, over the weekend of the 6th of October through the 10th. More information on MW3's multiplayer suite will be detailed at Call of Duty's Next showcase on 5th October.

Those who pre-order Modern Warfare 3 will enjoy two days of Early Access from that Friday (6th October), while the rest of the PlayStation faithful can jump in on Sunday at the same kickoff time. A sampling of the modernised launch maps from 2009's Modern Warfare 2 will be available for players to tear apart.

Call of Duty needs to go on a hiatus. Give these developers something new to work on.

I was looking at all the studios that Activision currently owns. They are all Call of Duty factories. Well, except one.

Outside of Crash, Spyro, and Call of Duty, I don't know how many IP Activision actually owns.

Seems like a vast majority of Activision's work in the 80's to 2010's was either doing various ports of games (mostly in the 80's) or licensed IP games.

Though, it looks like all of Sierra's catalog is owned by Activision. I could see Microsoft doing some great things with that - especially if they hand off some of that to DoubleFine.

It's like I just started and familiar with the MW2 maps and awkward progression system.......

I enjoy COD so I’m looking forward to checking out the remade MW2 maps.

The fact they want £100 to play as the 4 main characters online is a joke (digital only so people like me that want physical are ignored) and more than enough to put me off the game. I'm one of these old farts that want it to go back to how it was. Having comic book characters and Snoop Dogg running around the map is embarrassing and it's turning into Fortnite.

@GamingFan4Lyf "Call of Duty needs to go on a hiatus. Give these developers something new to work on."

This is business, you know that right? And I'm sure the share holders don't agree with with you.

Though I don't say you are wrong, it's just not happening, at least for the forseeable future I'm afraid.

@BeenGamingSince_83 I know, and it will sell like hot cakes because of that annual COD crowd.

It's just gotten so stale to the point of ridiculousness - in my opinion, anyways.
