Open bèta voor Killzone 3

Sony heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat er een open bèta voor Killzone 3 verschijnt. Deze bèta zal van 3 tot 15 februari duren. In oktober was er al een closed bèta voor Killzone 3. Alleen de eerste 10.000 PlayStation Plus-abonnees mochten aan deze bèta deelnemen.

Deze bèta is dus vanaf 3 februari voor iedereen beschikbaar. In de bèta kan je spelen op de de map MP05 'Frozen Dam'. Deze map kan je spelen in vier verschillende modi, namelijk Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone, Operations en Botzone. Meer informatie over deze modi kan je hieronder lezen.

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 (16 players)
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.

Killzone 3 verschijnt op 25 februari voor de PlayStation 3. Wouter heeft de game laatst gespeeld. Zijn bevindingen kan je hier lezen.
