Get Access to the Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Beta If You’re a Comcast Subscriber
Nobody really likes their ISP, especially since we rarely have much choice in this matter. But if you rely on Comcast for your high-speed internet, at least now it can bring you a free pass to the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta.
To access the Call of Duty promotion, log in to Comcast’s website , scroll down and find the promotional offer: One Key That Allows Early Access to the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Open Beta, starting October 8 Not all players will be able to play that day; the beta version varies depending on which platform you are using. As Comcast writes:
“Early Access to Open Beta, for the first time on PlayStation 4, will take place from October 8-9. The PlayStation 4 open beta will run on October 10-12. Early Access on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 – October 15-16. Open beta testing on all eligible platforms will run from October 17-19. “
These are not the only rules. As noted by Comcast, there is only one beta key for each Xfinity account, and this is all “as long as there is stock.” I’m not sure how many keys are given out as part of this promotion, but I wouldn’t wait until the last day (October 18th) to request one. And if you are not an Xfinity customer, but you know who is not a gamer, there is nothing stopping them from obtaining the key on your behalf.
In fact, I want to make you readers of Lifehacker firm: here’s a free code that I won’t use. First person to receive it: RK7J-FZS07-WPLY . (Please reply in the comments if you stated so, so that not everyone will be disappointed with the message “Code has already been used”.)
Once you receive your code, visit the Call of Duty website and sign in to your account (or create one if you don’t have one). Enter your code, select your platform, click Submit and wait for an email from Activision with additional instructions (and additional codes to work with). Hey, I didn’t say you won’t jump through multiple hoops, but that’s the price you have to pay if you want to play.
