When Call of Duty: Ghosts launches on November 5, 2013, anyone who pre-ordered it at GameStop will also receive a coupon code for a digital version of Eminem’s next album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The $8.99 download includes an exclusive, unnamed bonus studio track. Eminem’s latest album launches on the same day as Ghosts, and it is the rapper’s first solo effort since 2010’s Recovery.

Those that pre-order the game from GameStop will also receive “a pack of content that includes the bonus classic Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley multiplayer character.” You may remember Ghost from his role in Modern Warfare 2. Call of Duty: Ghosts introduces a new character customization feature in the game’s multiplayer mode, allowing gamers to tweak the look of their online persona.

Eminem’s involvement with Ghosts was first hinted at in Activision’s multiplayer reveal in August 2013, with the debut of a trailer backed by “Survival,” one of the new tracks featured on The Marshall Mathers LP 2. A full-length music video for the track is coming soon, and it will feature footage from the game as well.

If you're excited at the prospect of playing split screen in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, we've got good news: You can! Even better news is that it's a straightforward and easy task to accomplish. All you'll need to ensure is that you have two controllers and that both usernames have been linked to their own Activision accounts. Once you've scored both controllers and gotten your accounts squared away, though, you'll only need to follow a few simple steps to start playing together.

How to get two primary weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Soldiers battle in an abandoned airport.

Building your loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the same as crafting your build in an RPG. Which weapons and perks you take can completely change how you play and what role you should take in any given match. Typically, you are restricted to equipping a primary and secondary weapon, but previous titles included a perk that allowed you to double up on primary weapons to essentially play double duty. That perk, Overkill, isn't in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, so you will need to look for a different solution to get two primary weapons this time around.

Instead of the Overkill perk giving you space to carry two primary weapons, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces the Gunner Vest. This is a piece of gear rather than a perk, and can be unlocked when you hit level 20, or you can use the Overkill vest when you hit level 50. The Gunner vest lets you start with more ammo, reload faster, and, most importantly, equip two primary weapons.

How to access the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beta

It's been almost a year since last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released, which means it's time for the next installment in the annual shooter franchise. This time we're completing the trilogy (again) with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This entry has already generated a lot of hype among fans of the franchise for the inclusion, and return, of some highly requested features such as the mini-map and Zombies mode.

Sticking to the usual late-fall release schedule, Modern Warfare 3 will officially launch on November 10 of this year, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until then to get a taste of what's to come. If you play your cards right, you can get in on the beta to sharpen your skills before the competition.
