Want to know when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer releases? Well, you don’t need to look much further.
Activision is breaking up how the new Call of Duty game releases, with the campaign being available through early access since October 20.
As we’ve come to expect with major launches, we saw our fair share of crashes and error codes that needed to be ironed out.
As such, we imagine the full Modern Warfare 2 launch will be met with much of the same – we’re sure Activision has ironed out plenty already, though the influx of multiplayer players will no doubt be hard to suppress.
Thankfully, Activision and Infinity Ward have laid out when you can pre-load and play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer, so you can keep on top of everything in your immediate control, just expect some turbulence when multiplayer unlocks.
Call of Duty: MW2 multiplayer preload time Preloads for Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer are already available for PlayStation and Xbox, though you’ll have to wait until 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST today (October 26) to download the multiplayer on PC.
Infinity Ward confirms in a blog post that Modern Warfare 2 requires at least 72 GB on PC to download the full game, so you best prepare your hard drive.
