Those who want to participate for free in the Early Access Beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 need some time and luck: Tournament viewers can win access on YouTube.
This is how the beta access actually works: If you want a secure way into the Early Access Beta phase of the upcoming shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you actually have to go through the pre-order process.
If you pre-order one of the digital versions of Modern Warfare 2, access to the early Beta tests of the game is also included. There is no exact date for this yet, but a leak indicates multiple beta dates in September.
The problem: The pre-order is not free, so you can’t use the Early Access Beta as a free trial for yourself. Then, you can only rely on trailers and third-party impressions of the game, or participate in the later open beta to determine if MW2 is for you.
However, you can snag one of 50,000 keys for the Early Access Beta if you watch the pros on YouTube.
Pro Tournament in August distributes beta tickets to lucky viewers
What kind of event is this? In August, the “Call of Duty League Championship” takes place, distributing various rewards to viewers who reach certain viewing times between August 04 and August 07. This includes double XP tokens for Vanguard and Warzone, as well as daily rewards like Calling Cards, Emblems, and Blueprints.
On “Championship Sunday,” the beta codes will be given out. The period starts on August 07 at 8:00 PM German time and is expected to end around 11:00 PM German time (official time indication: 11:00 AM PT to 02:00 PM PT).
What do you have to do to participate? You need an Activision account and a YouTube account, which you connect. This can be done via the official CoD website for the tournament.
With this account, you also have to be logged in to be eligible to win. Additionally, you must be at least 18 years old.
A total of up to 50,000 beta codes will be randomly distributed to the viewers of the event, with each person receiving a maximum of one code. Important: You must watch for at least 60 minutes to enter the potential winner pool.
What do you think about it? Would you like to participate in the beta, are you already planning to buy Modern Warfare 2, or does the game not appeal to you at all? Let us know in the comments!
A Twitch streamer was even invited to test Modern Warfare 2. But that led to a ban in Warzone.
