Looking to finally jump into the upcoming Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Multiplayer Beta? Activision has come forward with a massive list of details on when you can expect to be able to access the beta as well as what's going to be found within.

The first weekend of the beta is starting next Friday, October 14 at 1o AM PST on PlayStation 4 and for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One the next weekend on October 21. There's quite a bit of content to be found within the beta as well, as Activision has showcased with the information it shared about the game, which you'll get to sink your teeth into soon enough.

One new aspect of battle, Combat Rigs, will be introduced, whih offer tactical options that you can customize with special Payloads and Traits. You can use three of the six different rigs in the beta to give them a fair shake, like Warfighter for mid-range assault-style play, Merc for clearing out enemies quickly, and Synaptic for speed and close-quarters combat.

You can also utilize Mission Teams, a metagame for multiplayer. When you complete missions in a team, you'll earn a team rank and eventually extra experience toward your rank as you move forward.

As far as game modes and maps go, you'll get to try out Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed as well as the new Defender mode, which is a high-stakes game of "keep away."

You can pick up Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC starting November 4, but if you preordered you should have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to get started with now. Three maps you can check out before committing to the full game are Frontier, Frost, and Throwback.
