<\/a><\/p>\n Activision has officially pulled back the curtain on the testing schedule for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4<\/em>. Fans eager to get their hands on the latest entry in the franchise can mark their calendars, as the developer has confirmed a two-weekend rollout for the upcoming beta.<\/p>\n The initial phase of the beta is reserved for those who have secured a pre-order. This early access window runs from August 21st through August 25th, spanning across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X\/S platforms. Following this, the second weekend opens the floodgates to the general public, running from August 28th to September 1st. Notably, this second phase will include support for Nintendo Switch 2 users. For those interested in the Switch 2 version<\/a>, pre-orders are set to open on August 26th, with additional technical specifications expected to drop shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n The beta content is designed to give players a robust taste of the full release. Participants will have access to a diverse arsenal of 19 weapons, alongside a suite of equipment including Lethals, Tacticals, Perks, Field Upgrades, and Killstreaks. In terms of game modes, the classic Search and Destroy will be available, joined by the fresh “Kill Block” mode.<\/p>\n While the franchise has recently experimented with complex mechanics, this iteration shifts focus toward precision. Players can refine their skills in the Training Mobility Course to test your movement<\/a> capabilities. It is worth noting that the controversial “Omnimovement” system will be absent from this build, favoring a more traditional tactical feel. A comprehensive breakdown of the map pool is scheduled for the Call of Duty<\/em> NEXT event on August 21st.<\/p>\n With the full game slated for a global release on October 23rd, Activision is positioning the title to take full advantage of next-generation hardware. The game is confirmed to support PS5 Pro\u2019s Upgraded PSSR<\/a>, ensuring that players on Sony\u2019s high-end console will benefit from enhanced visual fidelity and fluid, unlocked frame rates from day one.<\/p>\n As the industry continues to see a shift toward cross-platform parity, the inclusion of the Switch 2 in this beta cycle is a significant milestone for the franchise, potentially expanding the player base by millions. Stay tuned for further updates as we approach the August 21st official announcement<\/a> regarding specific map rotations and balance adjustments.<\/p>\nBeta Access Timeline<\/h3>\n
