EE announced it is an official partner of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III for the UK. The partnership forms part of EE’s ongoing ambition to be the UK’s no. 1 destination for gaming and will see Call of Duty fans, regardless of their network, receive a range of benefits in the run up to and at launch.
Beta Access, Calling Cards, Charms and Emblems
EE has launched a new sign-up site which will allow 150,000 fans, regardless of their network, access to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s Multiplayer Beta. Beta access will be available exclusively on PlayStation for the first weekend, and on the second weekend, across all other platforms. It will feature a variety of maps – both a selection of Core maps from the modernized 16 originals in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), as well as new experiences in Ground War – modes, and a litany of new loadout options to choose from.
EE will also be offering pre-orders of the game on the new EE Game Store. All customers that pre-purchase Modern Warfare III via EE will have access to EE’s calling card, charm and emblem that feature the Kawaii Killers, only available via EE, redeemable in game.
Mobile and broadband built for gaming

With lightning-fast speeds, and low latency and jitter, EE’s service offers an exceptional online gaming experience, perfect during those clutch moments, when quick responses are crucial and every millisecond counts. Meanwhile, independent testing by RootMetrics also found EE’s mobile network to be the UK’s most reliable for mobile gaming.
EE also offers a new EE Game Store – great for anyone looking for the latest video games and gaming products. Available to anyone no matter what mobile or broadband network they’re with, the online store offers bespoke gaming bundles, deals, interest-free flexible payment options and packages.
