Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III - how to play the game in early access right now

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, no not Christmas, another Call of Duty release window.

This year it’s a sort of half-reboot/half-remake of Modern Warfare III.

The game serves as a sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare (which later spawned WarZone) and last year’s Modern Warfare II.

The game gets its official release on November 10 but eager fans can play before then…
