While the full beta of the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare remake is still on its way, Playstation 4 players will be given a chance to test out the game’s latest mode in a Open Alpha later this week according to Infinity Ward at Gamescom last night.
The upcoming Alpha test will focus solely on the new Gunfight mode, which pits teams of two in a one-life-per-round match for tactical superiority. The test will feature 5 maps (Stack, King, Speedball, Docks, and Pine) and along with helping Infinity Ward balance out the game, will give us a chance to see the upcoming Modern Warfare remake/re-imagining will have in store for the game’s general feel.
The Alpha will be available exclusively for PS4 players and will begin on August 23rd. There will be a planned Beta for the game before the game launches which will give us more features to test out which will be exclusive for those who pre-order the game, with Playstation players getting an earlier access. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is set for an October 25th release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
