The release ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is approaching, and promises several improvements over its predecessor, including an all-new third-person mode. Players have already been able to experience the game thanks to its open beta last month, and for those who have digitally pre-ordered the game, they will gain access to the single-player campaign a week early on October 20. This is something they should take advantage of, as playing through it will have several benefits come the launch ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer modes.
Early access to the main story campaign is not something the franchise has ever attempted before. The rewards on offer for playing through the solo campaign are varied, and importantly, they are not tied specifically topre-orderingModern Warfare 2- they will be accessible by everyone. Thus, this early access will simply ensure certain players can finish the campaign quicker than everyone else, allowing them to use the rewards to a head start in multiplayer.

Campaign Rewards For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Since the franchise’s early days, each title’s single-player campaign has never been a substantial highlight. Some players don’t even attempt to play through the campaign at all, instead choosing to focus on the multiplayer modes that have madeCall of Dutysuch a financial juggernaut over the years. The game will no doubt sink or swim based on the depth, variety, and innovation of the multiplayer modes on offer, and judging by the features already displayed so far - includingModern Warfare 2’s new approach to killstreaks, Infinity Ward is clearly not content just retreading old ground.
Anything that offers players an early multiplayer advantage is likely to be appreciated, and luckily all therewards unlocked during the campaign will be useable in multiplayer. They include:
Of all of these rewards, the most useful ones to access early on will be the double XP tokens, which should allow players to gain some momentum as soon as the full game releases. The Union Guard Weapon Blueprint, which is described onCall of Duty’s official blogas an all-round great primary weapon, represents a perfect starting point for players of all skill levels. Coming with four attachments, that will help with stability, recoil, aim, and noise suppression.
If pre-ordering players take full advantage of their early access and are able to finishModern Warfare 2’s campaignin time for the game’s full release, they are putting themselves in a strong position when multiplayer modes commence. Luckily there isn’t long before that access opens up, giving fans of the franchise time to start grinding things out.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2releases on October 28 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
