News: You can get a sneak peek at the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer over the next two weekends by pre-ordering the game.

The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer beta is now live on PS4. If you have received your code and haven’t downloaded it yet then now is a good time to do so. The download should hopefully not take to long and then you can spend the weekend getting a sneak peek at the multiplayer for the newest Call of Duty title. This weekend is a PS4 exclusive weekend with next weekend being available for both Xbox One and PS4. The schedule for both weekends is below:

Weekend 1 - PS4 Exclusive

The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta begins on Friday, October 14 at 10am Pacific and will run until Monday, October 14 at 10am Pacific.

Weekend 2 - Xbox One & PS4

The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta begins on Friday, October 21 at 10am Pacific and will run until Monday, October 14 at 10am Pacific.

“Infinite Warfare multiplayer is about customizing the experience to fit different play styles, and that begins with Rigs,” said Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “In the Beta, players will get their hands on our new Rigs, abilities, equipment, and of course our new craftable, prototype weapons. With new maps and modes, there’s a ton of cool new stuff here, and we’re excited to share a slice of multiplayer with the community. The data we’ll receive over these next two weekends will be helpful as we get ready to share the full multiplayer experience next month at release.”

The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta represents a sample of the full multiplayer mode, giving fans access to a slew of its new features and returning features. Beta participants can get hands-on with one of the biggest additions to Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer offering – Combat Rigs. Built around six distinct playstyles, these new combat systems, or suits, offer a whole new level of customization for the player. Choosing your Rig provides a layer of strategy for fans as they personalize their loadout with selectable abilities, called Payloads or Traits, before heading into battle. Three of the game’s six different Combat Rigs will be available when the Beta kicks off.

The Infinite Warfare Beta features three diverse maps designed to accommodate a variety of engagements, all built to immerse players into fast, fun, and frenetic gameplay that players have come to expect from Call of Duty. The Beta will feature several game modes, including fan favorites like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and a brand new game mode called Defender. Players will also be introduced to Mission Teams. By joining different teams and ranking up, players can earn unique rewards from that team, including calling cards, camos, emblems, weapons and more.

Players will battle online with a wide array of new weaponry and equipment, have access to new scorestreaks, lethals, tacticals and customization options that let them tailor their multiplayer experience to suit their play style. Additional multiplayer content, features, maps and game modes will launch with the final game on Nov. 4.

You can get a beta code a number of different ways. One way is pre-ordering Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare at your favorite game store. There are codes floating around the internet so if you follow their social media you might be able to get a code for yourself there as well. Additionally, if you attended Call of Duty XP in Los Angeles last month then you might receive an email with a code for you to redeem.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is slated to be released on November 4 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. If you purchase the Legacy Edition or any of the editions above that then you will also receive Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered for free. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will launch with 10 of the original 16 maps from the multiplayer of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare with the other six maps being released in December.
