Wardogs and Modern Warfare 4 betas run together as Steam's top two sellers

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and new 100-player milsim Wardogs are holding simultaneous betas this weekend and occupy the top two spots on Steam. Wardogs has surpassed one million wishlists and opens a refundable Steam playtest from 17:00 UTC August 21 to 02:00 UTC August 24 with guaranteed pre-order access. Modern Warfare 4 runs a pre-order beta August 21–25 (starts 10:00 AM PT) and an open beta August 28–September 1 (10:00 AM PT) and includes a campaign mission in its beta; the two releases contrast Infinity Ward’s arcade-polished Call of Duty style with Wardogs’ milsim emphasis on short time-to-kill, lethal headshots, single-bullet reloading, and kilometer-scale maps.

• Steam rankings: Modern Warfare 4 is the No.1 overall seller and Wardogs is No.2; Wardogs has over 1,000,000 wishlists.
• Wardogs beta runs 17:00 UTC Aug 21 to 02:00 UTC Aug 24; Steam playtest requests are open, pre-order access is guaranteed, and the playtest is refundable.
• Modern Warfare 4 beta schedule: pre-order beta Aug 21–25 (starts 10:00 AM PT); open beta Aug 28 10:00 AM PT–Sep 1 10:00 AM PT; the beta includes a campaign mission.
• Gameplay differences: Modern Warfare 4 emphasizes arcade-style, highly polished gunplay and animations; Wardogs focuses on milsim realism with short TTK, very lethal headshots, occasional single-bullet reloading, and very large maps that require player pilots.
