According to Activision, players with digital pre-orders will not require a Beta Code, gaining immediate entry to the Early Access and pre-load periods.

PlayStation owners with pre-orders get access to the MW2 beta first. While the official start of the PlayStation Early Access period starts on September 16, you’ll be able to pre-load a lot earlier.
Xbox Pre-Load Times
UPDATE 9/20 – 4:15 PM ET – All players who have pre-ordered Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox now have access to pre-load the Open Beta.
There is no pre-load time confirmed for Xbox players. Activision has announced that for right now, the pre-load perk is only available for PlayStation gamers with pre-orders.
It is unclear if that could change as the start date of the Open Beta gets closer. Players with pre-orders on the platform could get pre-load access for the Early Access period, but that is still up in the air.
The Xbox Early Access Beta starts on September 22, with open access starting on September 24, so only a handful of days after PlayStation players.
Keep your eyes peeled as we’ll update this article if Activision announces pre-load access for Xbox.
Unfortunately, Xbox players will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the Modern Warfare 2 Beta. However, not for too long, as it is just around the corner.

Much like Xbox players, there are no announced or confirmed MW2 Beta pre-load times for PC. The PC MW2 Beta Early Access period starts on September 22, with open access starting on September 24.
Unfortunately, players will have to wait a while before they can get their hands on the Modern Warfare 2 Beta. If this situation changes, we’ll update the article as soon as we learn more information.
At the same time the initial pre-load times were announced, Activision also announced exciting information about the new Modern Warfare 2 Beta rewards and level caps. Don’t miss out on the trial period’s exciting unlocks!
