With the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the horizon, fans from all over the world are brimming with excitement to get a taste of the title.

Fans who have pre-ordered a digital copy of Modern Warfare 2, be it the Standard or the Vault edition, will be the first to get an experience of the complete game. This is due to the one-week early access privilege to the Campaign, which comes as a benefit for those who have pre-ordered.

As we all know, Call of Duty allows players to pre-load the game before it gets launched, and Modern Warfare 2 is no different in this regard. The pre-load dates for the various packs are already listed on the PlayStation Store for the console.

With this reveal, players who use the Xbox console can't help but wonder when they will be allowed to pre-load the game on their platform.


Speculated pre-load dates for Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox console

The campaign's early access to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is officially stated to start on October 20. Players who have pre-ordered any of the digital copies of the title will get the privilege of enjoying the Campaign for an entire week before its eventual release on October 28.

According to the PlayStation Store, the Campaign pre-load packs for Modern Warfare 2 will get auto-downloaded on October 19, and the Multiplayer and SpecOps packs will be available on October 21.

Based on these dates, it can be speculated that the Campaign pre-load on the Xbox platform will also happen on October 19, and the Multiplayer and SpecOps mode will get pre-loaded on October 21.

This speculation is based on the fact that the pre-load of updates and games in the Call of Duty franchise happen simultaneously on all platforms.

The storyline of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign is a direct sequel to the campaign of Modern Warfare 2019. The end of the previous campaign showed Captain Price proposing the formation of Task Force 141.

Being a direct sequel, the storyline of the upcoming title will feature the Task Force 141 as they perform various covert and overt operations throughout the globe.

Despite having such a compelling storyline, most of the playerbase of the Call of Duty franchise will be mostly focused on the Multiplayer mode once the game goes live. As such, to incentivize players to play the Campaign, Activision has announced certain rewards that will be usable to players in the Multiplayer mode and Warzone 2.0.
