With the first weekend down, Activision has turned their attention to the second and final weekend of the Black Ops Cold War beta. Via an updated blog post, the Call of Duty staff has revealed the exact beta times and how people can pre-load the beta on each platform.
And before we get into all of this, it should be said that if you are getting a code from another source (like Xfinity), you should receive a code via an email from Activision.
