The open beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 could start as soon as August 15, according to an Amazon listing.

Pre-orders offer early access to the open beta, as Activision previously announced. In an FAQ, the company said "tokens will be sent close to the beginning of your beta start date." Now, all Amazon listings for the game (noted by VGC) promise that those early access codes will be sent out on August 15.

There's been no official confirmation of when the open beta will begin, and it will start at different times for different platforms. PlayStation consoles will get the beta "at least five days" before other platforms, but pre-orders will offer some sort of early access regardless of where you play.
