Open Beta Coming To PSN On The 3rd Of February
By Chris Weatherhead on Jan 21, 2011 12:00:00 AMIt’s Friday and it is a good news day! Between the 3rd and the 15th of Feb you will be able to download and play the Killzone 3 Open Beta from the PlayStation Store.
This Beta will offer you exclusive early access to the Frozen Dam multiplayer level from Killzone 3, including all three online multiplayer modes – Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations – as well as the offline multiplayer mode, Botzone. A sprawling asymmetrical map set in an old dam facility, the playing field in Frozen Dam has been carefully tailored to fit each of the multiplayer modes.
These are the four multiplayer modes included with the Open Beta:
GUERRILLA WARFARE (16 PLAYERS)
Guerrilla Warfare is a
standalone multiplayer mode similar to classic Team Deathmatch: You and your teammates
must try to kill as many of the opposing team as you can before the timer runs out. In
this mode, only the downstream monitor houses and repair bay are accessible, giving the
map a very frantic pace.
WARZONE (24 PLAYERS)
If you’ve played Killzone 2, you may
already be familiar with Warzone. It’s a round-based multiplayer campaign that
consists of five randomly ordered mini-missions. In this mode the power house and
penstocks directly under the dam are accessible as well, so there’s more room to
come up with different strategies and approaches to your goal.
OPERATIONS (16 PLAYERS)
Operations is a new multiplayer campaign
which aims to deliver a more cinematic, story-based gameplay experience, similar to that
of Killzone 3′s single-player mode. It consists of a sequence of linear
mini-missions, in which the ISA must try to secure the docks and destroy the dam, while
the Helghast must try to protect the dam facility.
BOTZONE (UP TO 15 BOTS)
Botzone is an offline multiplayer mode
ideal for those looking to get to grips with the controls, the weapons or the map layout
before going up against live players. Each of the aforementioned multiplayer modes can
be played offline, against CPU-controlled opponents.
