Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha Unlocks Modern Warfare and Warzone Calling Card
Players who participate in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha will be receiving an additional reward. Activision frequently awards free cosmetics to players who participate in these kinds of events, so many fans were not surprised at the additional prize. Black Ops Cold War will be showcased from Septemeber 18th to the 20th for PS4 players to enjoy an early access experience.
PS4 players that are interested in the Alpha have the opportunity to pre-load the game in preparation for experiencing Cold War's multiplayer early. With several possible game modes to enjoy, fans will be experiencing an action-filled weekend with one permanent reward.
Anyone who plays in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha will gain special access to an animated calling card. This calling card will be a PS4 exclusive item titled "Under Fire," which will become available for use in Modern Warfare and Warzone. To claim the calling card players must simply play the Alpha version of the game before 10 AM PT on September 20th.
While the calling card serves as a great way to show that a player did participate in the Cold War Alpha, many fans express disappointment in response. With so many bundled items and earned calling card rewards, fans are left with a stack of favorites, and the "Under Fire" may not make it into that pile.
Still, for some fans, the calling card is more about the principle of collecting rather than the application itself. The card serves as a reminder to all fans that they were there for the Alpha before Black Ops Cold War released. Bragging rights from the PS4 community easily stretch into the multiplayer setting as Xbox and PC fans will not have access to the calling card.
Still, the calling card does showcase Frank Woods, who is a popular character in the Black Ops franchise. For many fans, simply having him on the card is enough justification to use it in-game. Whether or not a player likes Frank Woods or cares to use the calling card, the item will be automatically rewarded upon participation in the Black Ops Cold War Alpha event, which many fans will be diving into this weekend regardless of the calling card, or its availability in Modern Warfare and Warzone.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
