Esports.gg is here to answer some of the obvious questions new players may have as they load into the Modern Warfare 2 beta.
When does the Modern Warfare open beta start?

Does MW2 beta progress carry over
Unfortunately for players hoping to get a head start on their Modern Warfare 2 grinding this year, progress from the beta does not carry over to the main game.

Here are the ten rewards you can unlock from the MW2 beta:
- 'Smashed It' animated emblem - Level 2

How do I unlock weapons in the Modern Warfare 2 beta?
Unlocking weapons in the Modern Warfare 2 beta works slightly differently than in years past. Unlocking new weapons ties in nicely to the new Gunsmith 2.0 system Infinity Ward is running for Modern Warfare 2. The way you unlock a weapon in the beta is by levelling up a gun until level 13, from there this will unlock the weapon's receiver. Once the receiver is available, this unlocks the next weapon in the class.
Can I check my KDA in the MW2 beta?
Unfortunately for new players hoping to see their statistics during the beta, currently at the time of writing this article, you are unable to check your KDA. One of the likely reasons is that your progress does not transfer over once MW2 officially launches so seeing it in the beta does not matter. The only time you can check your KDA is in an individual match at the end of the game.
Can you unlock camos in the MW2 beta?
With this only being a beta, players are not able to unlock weapon camos as they do not count towards your progression once the main game releases. The closest players can get to having their guns have a different appearance is through weapon blueprints.
