If you want early access to the Modern Warfare 3 beta, you'll need to pre-order a copy of the game. You can pre-order any edition, physical or digital, to get in early. Early access to the beta will give you an early look at Modern Warfare 3's Multiplayer mode including maps, modes, weapons, and other features. The developer says there will be surprises as well.
