It was the news that upset PS3 gamers, excited Xbox 360 gamers and gave PC gamers another reason to brush up on their keyboard and mousing skills. That’s right, Call of Duty: World at War’s official beta has begun for the Xbox 360, with a Windows PC beta to follow shortly. I’m not sure why PS3 gamers were left out of this one, but maybe they get something special in the final version.
According to the press release, gamers will be able to play as U.S. Marines, German Wehrmacht, Japanese Imperial Army and Russian Red Army factions in a variety of game types (Team Death Match, Free-For-All, Capture the Flag and War), across three different maps. The maps that will be available in the beta include:
§ Castle: The Imperial Japanese Army faces off against the Marine Raiders in a daytime battle, located on the grounds of an ancient, Japanese castle.
§ Makin: The U.S. Marine Raiders square off against the Imperial Japanese Army in a nighttime fight, set in an outpost on the Makin Atoll in the Pacific.
§ Roundhouse: The Wehrmact will fight the Red Army to the bitter end in a daytime struggle that features tank and infantry combat, set in a desolate, war-torn European train depot.
If you would like to participate in the beta, you can receive a token by visiting Gamestop to pre-order the game, or pre-order the game online by visiting the Gamestop Website.
The full game will be available on November 11th for the (beta absent) PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. You can visit the Official Call of Duty Website for more information or stay tuned in with Blend Games for more news and info regarding the latest games.
