The beta test process began for COD: Modern Warfare 2, and it got significant attention from the fans. Before that, there was a closed beta last month, and we’ve also seen many essential details from the game. With the public beta’s release, everybody could play the game early. It’s not even the full release, but the game was attacked by the gamers, and Infinity Ward needed to take action. With their move, COD: Modern Warfare 2 beta becomes even more delightful, and now it’s one of the leaders on Steam with its player count.

This is not the game’s final release; the players can play the game thanks to the early access. If you remember, the company promised to clear the game against cheaters. There are still cheaters in the game, and gamers are finding their own solutions. Surprisingly, there’s an incredible number of players.

COD: Modern Warfare 2 Beta is The Most Played Game on Steam Now

Steam has a chart that shows the most played games live. The first three are usually free-to-play online games. With COD: Modern Warfare 2’s early access beta, it has 168,330 players right now. The count changes every second, but the game keeps its position for hours. The game isn’t in the first three, but it’s impressive to see a paid game’s beta release on the list.

The game will be released on October 28.  We’re a month far from the game. The public beta won’t stay long; you better play it now if you’re excited about the game. The beta progress won’t be transferred to the main game, but you’ll get these awards:
