Activision has introduced the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta that passed off over the previous two weekends was the largest within the collection’ whole historical past. It had extra gamers than some other, probably the most quantity of hours had been spent enjoying it, and extra matches had been performed throughout all of the platforms the beta was obtainable on than any earlier pre-release take a look at.

The beta was first solely obtainable to PS5, PS4 gamers who had pre-ordered the sport, however then it opened up for everybody to attempt, together with Xbox and PC customers. Cross-play was one function examined throughout the second weekend of availability, however due to cheaters and hacking, many PlayStation folks switched the choice off. This is one thing lots of console gamers did in Warzone, and can seemingly do once more in November as soon as the sequel releases.

Still, whereas Activision stopped wanting sharing precise statistics, these readings will show promising for the sport and its attainable longevity. After Call of Duty: Vanguard did not set the world alight with poor gross sales in comparison with previous entries, Modern Warfare 2 is shaping as much as be a return to type.

The single participant marketing campaign will arrive every week earlier than all that on twenty first October 2022, and if 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is something to go by, it will be one other corker.
