TheCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warbeta is now live on the Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Although the beta started last week on the PS4, this weekend theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta sees new content for all platforms that should excite players.

Beginning today, Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Combined Arms Domination + Assault, and VIP Escort are available, alongside Hardpoint and Fireteam Dirty Bomb as new additions. The maps Miami, Satellite, Crossroads, Moscow, Armada, and Cartel are playable, with Ruka and Alpine being new. On Saturday, October 17, the developers will add one new mode, Control, that will last through the rest of the beta weekend.
For Thursday and Friday, the level cap will be 31, and the only players who have access to the beta are those whopre-orderedBlack Ops Cold War. Beginning Saturday, the beta is open to everyone and the level cap increases to 40.
Some of the modes and maps are carried over from thesuccessfulBlack Ops Cold Waralpha, but there are new maps and modes to enjoy as well. Miami and Armada, for example, are two returning maps that players enjoyed in the alpha. However, Ruka and Alpine are new additions.
Perhaps the most interesting game mode that players will be able to try out is thenew Fireteam mode forBlack Ops Cold War. The mode pits teams of 4 against each other in a large-scale battleground with objectives. In the case of Dirty Bomb, the idea is that players must blow up bomb locations throughout the map. The mode also brings characteristics fromWarzonesuch as parachuting, the ability to revive downed teammates, and using armor plates for additional health.
Thus far, theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta is receiving praise. With a full-fledged campaign, Zombies, multiplayer, Fireteam, andWarzoneintegration,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris shaping up to be one of the larger entries into the series. After a weekend with the beta, fans will hopefully have a better idea of what they can expect when the full game releases.
