Activision have announced the launch of the beta version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. They will roll out the beta in two phases. The first phase is the early access for those who have pre-ordered a digital copy of the game. These players will be able to access the beta starting on October 8. However, they will also conduct an open beta weekend available to all PS4 players from October 10-12.
Although the trailer for the beta revealed the game modes that will be available during the weekend, there weren’t many details accompanying the announcement. The modes consist of TDM, Domination, VIP escort, Kill Confirmed, and Combined Arms.
