PlayStation 4 operatives got their hands on the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta last weekend. Our impressions left us wanting more, but for those fans after more Call of Duty and nothing else, the beta just may hit all the right notes.
The PC beta of Cold War is launching this weekend, starting October 15 for those who pre ordered the game or secured a code through a Twitch Drop. According to Treyarch, players can receive a code through a Twitch Drop until October 16 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. All they have to do is link their Twitch and Battle.net accounts, then watch “streams with Drops Enabled” for at least four hours."
The Cold War PC start time for everyone else starting October 17 at 10 a.m. PDT. It runs through October 19.
Here are the PC specifications straight from Treyarch.
