Multiplayer BETA Planned for World at War (360 and PC)

[Shawn Zipay]

Activision and Treyarch have just announced that there will be a multiplayer BETA for both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of Call of Duty: World at War. This BETA is set to kick off this October, a month prior to the game's release on November 11.

Boot camp will soon take on a new meaning, as Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and developer Treyarch, have confirmed plans for Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer betas in October for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and separately for download on Windows PC. These betas will serve as an early chance for players to practice the tactics needed for survival in the intense chaos of Call of Duty: World at War's Pacific and European theaters. Players will experience the game's new squad system, as well as fan favorite perks and kill streaks.

All preparation for the full battle will commence on November 11, 2008 when Call of Duty: World at War is released to retailers nationwide.

"We are excited to share a sneak peak of Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer with the community," says Mark Lamia, Treyarch Studio Head. "The team has worked hard to build upon the great history and foundation of Call of Duty multiplayer and we can't wait to go online to ramp up for our November launch."

Activision says that there are two ways gamers can be a part of this multiplayer BETA. You can either register for tokens at the Call of Duty website or pre-order the game from GameStop.

Good luck to any and all would-be testers!
