Modern Warfare 2: How to Earn Beta Rewards

The Modern Warfare 2 beta is here, and that means players are clamoring to jump in and get their first taste of the newest Call of Duty entry. Currently, the only players who can access the game are those on PlayStation, but the beta will be opening up in the coming weeks to include more players.

If you participate in Week 1 and Week 2 of the beta, you can rack up a set of rewards that you can use to customize your character and weapons in-game. These range from special animated emblems to stickers and skins and everything in between. All you really have to do is keep playing and leveling up.

Right now, the beta is capped at Level 15, so you'll have to continue playing throughout the rest of the event period if you want to earn all of the rewards. But it's well worth sticking through all of the phases for the free items, which you can take with you when the real game debuts in October.

Looking to nab all of the different rewards? You can do it quite easily if you're adamant about playing regularly and participating in each beta wave, which essentially means you'll need to have one of each of the platforms before it finally opens to everyone. Here's a list of each reward and how you can earn it so you can keep track of all the goodies coming down the line.
