The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beta early access has been out for a while now. It is currently available on PlayStation and will be out for PC and Xbox platforms on October 14, 2023, at 6:00 pm BST. Early access to the beta allows players to check out the game immediately and provide feedback for a smoother experience at launch.

Players can only access the multiplayer aspect of the title in the beta, which includes game modes like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed, as well as a few new maps.

It is important for Modern Warfare 3 players to have a set of peripherals over which they have complete control and understanding, as well as the most efficient setup and keybinds. A player’s performance can be influenced by such factors in multiplayer games, especially in a first-person shooter like MW3.

The Modern Warfare 3 beta multiplayer has fast-paced modes where every input from the player impacts the outcome of the match. Without a proper approach, defeating opponents will not be easy. This is why it is important to have all the important utilities set to precise keybinds for proper aim and movement.

When compared to a controller, the keyboard and mouse have a greater input size because all of their buttons are close together and comfortably placed. Since a shootout on the field of play is unpredictable, having the appropriate key binds for swift action can be beneficial.
