The point of a beta is to identify any potential issues, so you can't really shout at Activision too loudly for the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare stress test's torrid first day. That said, when you're trying to incentivise pre-orders with early access, then you need to make sure things run smoothly to some extent; that's not been the case so far with Infinity Ward's eagerly awaited first-person shooter.
In its defence, Activision has acknowledged the matchmaking issues that people have been having, and with this first phase of the beta set to run into the early hours of 17th October, there's still plenty of time for PlayStation 4 players to join the futuristic fray. A second beta period will also begin on 21st October at 10:00AM PT (18:00PM BST).
How do you get in the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta?
If, like this particular author, you weren't aware there even was a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta taking place, then you may be wondering how to get access. It's pretty simple really: you need to pre-order a copy of the game and enter an access code on the publisher's website. If you happen to register your interest in the release on the PlayStation Store, then no access code will be necessary – you should be free to download the 20GB stress test straight away.

FJ44-R4NE-3B79MDJD-NANQ-JFCLB9HN-GJND-TEDQETJQ-NGNR-TKREPlease leave a message if you take one so others will know not to try that code or if they are all taken.
Thanks for the code ive taken the top one
@BAMozzy Used the second one thx a lot mate.
No probs - hope you both enjoy...
@BAMozzy I took the last one! Thanks😊
@Jamboro No probs - enjoy...
@BAMozzy not taking one as it isn't really my thing, but you're a kind soul.
@BAMozzy
Took the 3rd code, thank you very much.
@ztpayne7 Would rather they went to people who wanted an opportunity to try it out than they go unused! Where better to share than with the PushSquare community....
@banacheck No probs- enjoy!
@BAMozzy Already have access but that's really lovely thing your doing
Tried all last night to get on and couldn't play any matches. There didnt seem to be any matchmaking at all. Thought I'd try tonight again. Yes it let me into a game. Last the lenght of time it took to play a few maps and couldnt tolerate it any more. What a load of p*sh. Useless MP. Don't like the look of it. Don't like the way it flows. Dont like the maps on show and the hit detection that I experienced anyhow felt like a ps1 or ps2 game. They have a lot to improve if they think for a second I'd be pulled away from MWremastered's MP game for this tripe.
So is the 2nd beta open to the public? If so Ill give it a go if I can step away from bf1 , but hoping it gives me little reason to. Also need to play the demo for world of final fantasy so I can solidify my preorder decision. Geez so little time.
@BladeRider No this is the first Beta for IW. It's only for PS4 but next week will be PS4 and Xbox One.
@Tasuki
Ahh thank you , but is the 2nd one open to the public ?
I'm thankful for beta tests! I have cancelled my pre order for this as CoD multiplayer just doesn't do it for me. I'm older (42) and I just don't enjoy the speed of it. I really wish they'd offer the campaign as a separate purchase as it looks great, however it looks like I'll be giving CoD another pass this year. Bring on BF1!
Gave it another go last night. No it doesn't seem any better. Actually it p*ss poor imho.
Ah well £80 for CODMWremaster I suppose will be worth it as it's the only reason for paying for the digital preorder in the first place. shame that there is a whole brand new game included in that price that I most likely won't even download nevermind play. Disgusting tactics really but I sooo want COD4MW multiplayer again.
i'd forgotten how much i hate the last few CoD multiplayers made by infinity ward.. it's almost like the original modern warfare was blind luck. i played about 4 games of this and then deleted it. treyarch make much better and more balanced multiplayers for me.. but i wish they'd stop with all the daft robo-suit nonsense. i hope raven have kept faithful to the original modern warfare multiplayer. a really good job has been done on the campaign.
i still have 4 beta codes if anyody needs one.
@BladeRider No you have to preorder the game to get a.code.
