What's featured in the Black Ops Cold War beta?
The Black Ops Cold War beta is focused on multiplayer, with confirmation of the following ahead of the pre-load arriving:

- New mode Fireteam: Dirty Bomb
- Beta-only ranking and progression, with the ability to try out Create-a-Class and Scorestreaks
More content is teased to roll out across both weekends.
Additionally, there are two rewards for playing the beta. The 'Adler' character will be unlocked in Call of Duty Mobile for simply playing, while reaching progression level 10 will unlock an Epic SMG weapon blueprint on Black Ops Cold War's full launch.
Once the two weekends are over and done with, the next stop is the Black Ops Cold War release in November.
