Get Modern Warfare 2 Beta Codes Are Free For Xfinity Members


The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II multiplayer begins very soon, and if you're in need of a code, fans have discovered a new way to get one. Subscribers to Xfinity in the US can apparently claim a beta code through the Xfinity Rewards program.


Members can sign in to Xfinity Rewards to see if they have a code waiting for them. People on Reddit originally believed you might have needed to be a Gold member to get the code, but that is apparently not always the case. In any event, check the site for yourself to find out.

The Modern Warfare II beta begins September 16, which is one day after the Call of Duty Next event during which Activision will share more details on the game's multiplayer and more.


The Modern Warfare II beta starts first on PlayStation before expanding to Xbox and PC. For more, check out GameSpot's rundown of the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer beta.


In other Call of Duty news, Microsoft has confirmed it will keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for "years" beyond the existing deal, should Microsoft's buyout of Activision Blizzard go through.


Modern Warfare II launches on October 28, though everyone who preorders can begin playing the campaign an entire week early.


In addition to Modern Warfare II, Activision is releasing Warzone 2.0 this year and a new Call of Duty game for mobile. Activision will discuss all of these upcoming projects during the Call of Duty Next event on September 15.


Call of Duty's Next event will showcase the future of the franchise

Though it’s the premier jewel in Activision’s crown, Call of Duty has been underperforming lately. Activision Blizzard’s proposal for a $68.7 billion acquisition by Microsoft revealed Call of Duty: Vanguard badly underperformed and did not meet its Q4 expectations. As a result, according to a report by Bloomberg, next year’s game has been delayed, disrupting Call of Duty’s yearly release schedule for the first time since 2005.


Call of Duty is also at the heart of a public spat between Xbox and PlayStation. As Microsoft is in the process of purchasing Activision Blizzard King, Sony is worried that Call of Duty, a heretofore multiplatform game, could become an Xbox exclusive once the deal goes through. In a statement to The Verge, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said that Microsoft wishes to keep Call of Duty on the PlayStation for “several more years” beyond its existing contract. In an interview with Game Industry.biz, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan revealed that “several” in reality meant “three,” also calling the deal “inadequate on every level.”


As mommy and daddy fight over custody, it’s unclear if Call of Duty’s existence as a multiplatform game will be discussed at Call of Duty Next. Tune in on September 15th to find out.
