Modern Warfare 2 Beta Details

[Stitch]

The Leipzig Games Convention is moving onwards and upwards with a new name this year: GamesCom. The last time Infinity Ward attended the event was way back in 2007 shortly before the release of ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’. Xboxic was at the event first hand to play the game before release and witness the press conference which included a Beta announcement. It seems likely through leaked information handed to Xboxic yesterday that Infinity Ward are planning a Déjà Vu moment and will announce details of the upcoming ‘Modern Warfare 2 Beta’ at this years GamesCom event in Germany.

The GamesCom event will take place next week on August 17th - August 19th. Information has been handed to Xboxic which leads us to believe that Robert Bowling (aka FourZeroTwo) the community spokesman for Infinity Ward will announce details via a press release of a Beta signup through modernwarfare2.com, with those who have pre-ordered ‘Prestige Edition’ of the game having immediate access. It is assumed that the retailers with exclusive pre-order sales will soon start emailing web site tokens to customers when the Beta is live. The web site token will then need to be registered at modernwarfare2.com with your email address to later receive your chosen Xbox360 or PS3 Beta console redeem code.

The Beta is rumoured to go live by September 10th and close towards the end of October. Until Infinity Ward release an official statement this can only remain a rumour. The Gamescom convention with Robert Bowling confirmed as in attendance will take place next week - so only time will tell if the information we received is correct.

I ain't buying the prestige edition just for beta access.

There wasnt ment to be a beta this year.

Although im getting the prestige so ill get a code

[Fez]

Pfft no thanks.

[iAdam]

Still doesn't justify prestige edition for me. I'd prefer to wait and pay less.

[Lost_Addict]

My works buying me the prestige edition so its all gravy baby

[Maczorx]

I'll just buy a code off someone online..

[Neil]

As far as I can understand from what you posted there is a beta sign-up coming soon, prestige gives you instant access but you can sign-up and hope you get a spot, chances are GameSpot and stuff will offer up codes aswell.

[iAdam]

I'll probably try and get a code but I still feel that it isnt worth spend and extra 100 pounds or however much it is now.

[Robbinz]

They will probably release them fru cod website anyway in the email again.

Remember what Treyarch did last year with WAW?

At first they released some on game trailers (or another website, cant remember) then they said you have to preorder it to get the code, Then they gave it out to people on the Call of Duty website, Then they released it over XBL to everyone So im not falling for it this time.
