"A robust multiplayer experience going beyond the Core 6v6 experience with a variety of meticulously designed maps of various sizes, and an equally impressive set of Modes, Progression experiences, and other aspects" are some of the highlights that Activision and Infinity Ward have outlined for us in the upcoming beta. Those that pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2's Vault Edition will be able to utilize the in-game prizes that came with it during the beta test, as well.

Next presentation will be held on the same day as the PlayStation beta begins. Modern Warfare 2 and the series' future are expected to be more detailed.
