After many leaks and a scavenger hunt in Warzone, we now have almost all information about the multiplayer of Black Ops: Cold War, which will be released on November 13. We've seen the new maps, the score-streaks, dealt with the new time-to-kill and saw what exactly you'll get with a pre-order.

According to the developer, the pre-load for all PS4 owners should start today, September 17. This means that in order to participate in the multiplayer alpha, you don't need to pre-order the game, you just have to own a PS4. The Alpha starts tomorrow, Friday, September 18, will run until Sunday, September 20.

As things stand at the moment, PC and Xbox players will, unfortunately, have to wait until October 15 and will not be able to access the Alpha.
