[PS3] Killzone 3 Public Beta Announced, New Trailer

[PS3] Killzone 3 Public Beta Announced, New Trailer
As the imminent release of Guerilla Games' Killzone 3 closes in (late February if you had forgotten) you may be wondering if there will be a public beta. Well, your question can now be answered and thankfully the answer is yes.

You'll be able to pick up your gun and march into the public beta on the 3rd of February and it will run through until the 15th of February. The beta will provide early access to the 'Frozen Dam' multiplayer level and will feature all three online modes (Guerilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations) as well as an offline mode called Botzone.

Quote: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 (one player and 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.

Check out the new trailer for the game below, it releases on the 25th of February. Will you be checking out the beta when it hits?
