Gamers rush to play brand new Call of Duty game and be the first to try it – how to get the access code

GAMERS are rushing to be some of the first to play the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

The new title has not yet been officially released, but gamers can get early access over the next two weekends.

PlayStation owners will be able to get hold of the early access code for the open beta over this weekend, between October 6 and 7, as well as October 8 and 10.
