We've finally gotten our first look at Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer thanks to the reveal stream last night, where Treyarch let players know how and when they can play the game, ahead of its launch on November 13.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will hold an early access beta, followed by an open beta which will eventually make its way to all of the game's platforms (the ones that are available when the beta releases, of course). The early access beta will only be available to players that have pre-ordered the game on the platform they're trying to play on.

The Black Ops Cold War beta will start out on PlayStation 4 and will be open for one weekend. The PS4's early access period will run from October 8th-9th and the PS4 open beta will run October 10th-12th.

The weekend following, the beta will go multi-platform, for Xbox, PC and PlayStation 4. On October 15th & 16th, the beta will be in early access for players that have pre-oredered on PC and Xbox One, while any PlayStation 4 player can jump in. Finally, on October 17th & 19th, every player will have open access to the beta, no matter what platform they're on.
