How to get a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II open beta code
Getting access to the early open beta is about as simple as it can get, but it takes a few steps and does require some investment.
First, you will need to pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II on any platform, including PlayStation, Xbox, Battle.net, or Steam. After that, you will automatically be entered to participate in the beta. However, if you pre-order the game at a physical retailer, you will need to locate a beta code on your receipt. Use that code at the beta redemption site. When the beta begins, you will then get an email with a code you can input on your console or PC to download the beta.
Once the beta period begins, digital owners will automatically be able to start downloading and playing. Note that no progress made in the beta will carry over into the final release of the game.
When will the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II beta start?

The only thing we do know is that PlayStation players will get early access to the beta compared to other platforms. Typically, beta periods for Call of Duty games run for several weekends, with one extra dedicated just to PlayStation players, but we will update this post once the dates and times are official.
