Let's do this
Finally, the moment that Call of Duty fans have been waiting for: the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer release date and time are nearly here.
The campaign was fun for those who pre-ordered the game, but it doesn’t scratch the itch of what made Call of Duty a household name: the multiplayer.
We’re now only hours away from playing the game, so make sure to pre-download it on your PC and consoles.

Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer: release date & time
If you have the game downloaded, you can play as soon as the multiplayer release hits.
Here’s a breakdown of when each region can play the new CoD game:
- NA-East: Midnight EST
- NA-West: 10:00 PM EST
- EU: 6:00 AM CEST
- Australia: 15:00 AEDT
- Brazil: 1:00 AM BRT
- Japan: 13:00 JST
- Korea: 13:00 KST

We’ll be back tomorrow with our first impressions of the multiplayer experience, which is sure to be a step up from Vanguard. Vanguard wasn’t a bad game, but Modern Warfare is one of the most beloved offshoots of the franchise.
We’re excited to see all of the new mechanics – including third-person – that the developers have added this time around, and are even more excited for Warzone 2 when it comes out later in November.
