Call of Duty: World at War Beta Launches

The dogs of war are being unleashed today, as Activision and developer Treyarch announced the launch of the Multi-Player Beta for Call of Duty: World at War on the Xbox360. Console players can guarantee themselves a token by pre-ordering the game at UK GAME retail outlets, or online at http://www.game.co.uk/ (refer to GAME for more details). Call of Duty fans that register to become members at www.callofduty.com are also eligible to receive a token, but these tokens are limited in supply, so register today. Additionally, Eurogamer will also be distributing keys from 5pm today on a first-come, first-served basis.

Windows PC fans can expect a Multi-Player Beta soon and more information will be made available at www.callofduty.com/beta.

The Call of Duty: World at War Multi-Player Betas will provide players with an opportunity to play as US 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:

 

  • 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 US 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.

 

The Betas will last for a few weeks; however, the full battle will commence on 14th November, 2008 when Call of Duty: World at War is released to retailers nationwide.
