Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s single-player campaign is available to play a week early – but only if you pre-ordered.

Modern Warfare 2 is set to launch on October 28, but you won’t necessarily have to wait that long to jump into the campaign and see what Task Force 141 is up to. 

This year Activision has decided to switch things around and encourage more players to check out the campaign first, as it usually gets neglected for the game’s multiplayer mode. After all, unlocking new weapons and achieving prestige ahead of others has always been prioritised by most players. 

Now, the new schedule will not only give you the chance to jump in the game a week early but also unlock a number of exclusive items for use in multiplayer.  

When can you start playing Modern Warfare 2’s campaign? 

While the full game will go live on Friday, October 28, you can get an early start and jump in the campaign from Thursday, October 20 at 6pm BST. 

If you want to save even more time, you can start pre-loading the campaign a day early from around 6pm BST on Wednesday, October 19.

This option will become available to you regardless of what platform you want to play the game on, meaning that everyone can get fully prepared in advance. 

How to get early access to Modern Warfare 2 campaign?

Lucky for you, getting early access to the campaign isn’t complicated at all. You’ll simply need to pre-order Modern Warfare 2 on your platform of choice.  

As long as you opt for the digital pre-order, you can gain early access by purchasing any version of the game. 

However, if you’ve pre-ordered a physical copy of the game, that doesn’t seem to come with the same access, as Activision has only talked about it in terms of the digital editions.

What rewards can you get from Modern Warfare 2’s campaign? 

Getting through the single-player story earlier than expected is already a bonus, but on top of that you can also earn new items for the multiplayer.

Activision has confirmed that by completing the campaign you’ll be given access to a wide range of high-tier items, which you’ll also be able to use in Modern Warfare’s multiplayer mode. 

From four kind-of-new characters to an extra assault rifle blueprint there are plenty of rewards waiting for you at various stages of the campaign. 

Here’s a full list of Modern Warfare 2’s campaign rewards in chronological order: 

Calling card: ‘Soap’s Determination’ Emblem: ‘What’s Done Is Done’ 30-minute Double XP token 30-minute Double Weapon XP token Calling card: ‘Chain linked’ Base Operator: Chuy 30-minute Double XP token 30-minute Double Weapon XP token Calling card: ‘Gaz’ Base Operator: Nova 1-hour Double XP token 1-hour Double Weapon XP token Calling card: ‘Shadow Company Ops’ Base Operator: Reyes 1-hour Double XP token 1-hour Double Weapon XP token Base Operator: Hutch Bonus: Union Guard weapon blueprint

Besides stacking up on goodies, starting the campaign a week earlier is also a good way for you to get familiar with the newest version of Call Of Duty.

After all, there are quite a few changes set to hit Modern Warfare 2, including the introduction of aquatic combat, a third person mode, and much more.

To add a bit of nostalgia and appeal to older players, there are also rumours of Activision remastering every map from the original game, which was released all the way back in 2009. 

If you’re a FIFA fan you might also get the chance to play as some of the world’s top footballers, as part of an unexpected crossover – just in time for the World Cup taking place in Qatar towards the end of 2022.  

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on Friday, October 28.
