## Key points

- Modern Warfare 4 beta has now ended, closing at 1am Wednesday 2 September
- Closure followed a 12-hour extension from the original Tuesday deadline
- Second weekend added level 30 cap, Ground War mode and Entrenched campaign mission

## Summary

Infinity Ward has closed the Modern Warfare 4 open beta, having extended the second and final weekend by 12 hours so it ran until 1am on Wednesday 2 September rather than ending at 1pm the previous day as originally planned. The extended window gave players extra time to level up and unlock rewards that carry over into the full game, mattering most to fans keen to secure exclusive in-game content before access closed.

The beta's second weekend began at 1pm EDT on Friday 28 August and raised the level cap from 20 to 30, unlocking further weapons, killstreaks and perks beyond the first weekend's cap of 20. New additions in this phase included the Entrenched campaign mission, in which players help prevent a nuclear power station's destruction, a movement-focused mobility course, and the large-scale Ground War mode, alongside carried-over features such as the Gunfight-exclusive Kill Block.
