23
The start of the highly-anticipated Call of Duty®: Black Ops
III multiplayer beta has arrived on PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system. Beginning today, PS4™ system owners worldwide
who obtained a beta access code for the Call of Duty: Black Ops
III multiplayer beta will experience Treyarch’s new multiplayer
gameplay first hand. New maps, modes, specialists, weapon
customizations and more, including gameplay progression and the
all-new momentum-based, chained movement system will be available
for play through Sunday, Aug. 23, with other platforms to follow.
Players are encouraged to submit their Beta feedback, directly to
the studio team, at
https://activision.allegiancetech.com/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.dll?idx=ET2VTC.
As the Beta continues, the Treyarch blog will provide updates as
events unfold.
“We have poured our heart and soul into making Black Ops III,
pushing ourselves to develop the deepest and richest experience we
could for Call of Duty® players. We can’t wait for the fans to get
their hands-on multiplayer so they can provide us with the type of
feedback at scale to ensure we deliver the best experience we can
come November,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. “With the
new precision fluid movement system, the introduction of
Specialists and an all-new weapon customization system, there’s a
ton of multiplayer content in the beta and that’s just scratching
the surface.”
The Call of Duty: Black Ops III beta represents a
fraction of the full version of the game. Fans playing in the Beta
can expect to play through three maps that will accommodate various
play styles and enjoy high-octane combat that takes advantage of
the new momentum-based, chained-movement system, advanced weaponry,
new gear and much more. At least seven game modes will be unveiled
throughout the Beta, including fan favorites and quite possibly a
few surprises along the way. Plus, Beta participants will be able
to play as two all-new Specialists in addition to the six
previously revealed. The Beta also includes weapon customization
featuring both Create-a-Class and Weapon Paint Shop functionality
(Weapon Paint Shop not available on PC version of Beta) as well as
gameplay progression covering weapons, scorestreaks and equipment
(all progression will reset at the end of the Beta).
“The relationship between SCEA and Activision continues to
flourish, allowing us to deliver content to PlayStation® fans
before they can get it anywhere else,” said Adam Boyes, VP of
Publisher and Developer Relations, Sony Computer Entertainment
America LLC. “Continuing to redefine the multiplayer experience,
Call of Duty: Black Ops III looks and feels incredible, and
I’m thrilled fans will have the chance to experience it first on
the PlayStation®4 system.”
