Call of Duty WW2 PC beta COUNTDOWN: End date, time for pre-release test

WW2 PC beta is coming to an end later today, as fans squeeze in a few more rounds on online multiplayer.

The Call of Duty WW2 PC beta has an October 2 end date and a 6pm BST end time.

And unlike previous Call of Duty WW2 multiplayer betas, it doesn’t look like the PC test will be extended.

That’s based on a Sledgehammer tweet, which said: “Less than 24 hours left in the #CODWWII PC Open Beta! Get those final matches in while you can.”

The Call of Duty WW2 PC beta is completely free for all Steam users, and can be pre-loaded from the Steam store page right now.

Sledgehammer will use the PC beta to shape the multiplayer experience ahead of Call of Duty WW2’s November 3 release date.

“Your feedback will continue to help us shape the final Multiplayer experience for PC players, so share as much as you can,” reads a Sledgehammer blog post. “We’re looking forward to keeping up the constructive dialogue. Here’s all the info you’ll need to participate in the PC Open Beta.”

The beta lets fans try four different multiplayer maps, including Pointe du Hoc, Ardennes Forest, Gibraltar and Aachen.

Maps can be played in Team Deathmatch, Domination and Hardpoint. That’s on top of Operation Breakout, which is available as part of War Mode.

Fans are also encouraged to try all five divisions, including Infantry, Expeditionary, Airborne, Armored, and Mountain Division. 

The beta doesn’t include single-player or Zombies, and progress won’t carry over to launch.

Sledgehammer also raised the level cap to 35 over the weekend, and even added Kill Confirmed.
