[Spawndemon]

The official Call of Duty website has been updated today with a new FAQ that talks about the upcoming beta for Call of Duty: World at War. Check it out:

We know you have a ton of questions about the upcoming CoD: WW Beta, so we put together a quick FAQ on the Xbox 360 Beta. Stay tuned, we’re in the process of developing a much more in-depth FAQ on the PC and Xbox 360 Betas.

QUESTION: What is the CoD: WW Xbox 360 Beta?
ANSWER: Treyarch is recruiting dedicated Call of Duty fans of to help test Call of Duty: World at War’s performance from a gameplay and backend standpoint. Feedback and performance data from this Beta will be instrumental in ensuring CoD: WW’s success from Day One! This Beta will have a limited space so make sure you get your name in the hat to get a token!

QUESTION: Will there be a PS3 beta? If not, why?
ANSWER: No, there won’t be a PS3 beta. The Xbox 360 and PC environments will provide the feedback that we need to make any back-end technical modifications to the co-op and multiplayer features, which means an optimized experience for everyone, independent of the console they own.

QUESTION: When will more information be released on the PC beta?
ANSWER: More information on the PC beta will be posted soon, please stay tuned. The PC beta is also planned for October.

As usual, the amount of PC info is staggering.

At least JD was allowed to mention that there actually would be one for PC. :)

It sucks for PS3 players for sure that they won't get the demo/beta, that's for sure. :|:

There's nothing "wrong" with the PS3 environment, but there are WAY more people on Xbox live, even though it's a paid service. The logic is that if they test it on Xbox live, which is the more "stressful" network because of the huge number of players, then it should only require small tweaks for PSN. It is a big pain for them to set up these deals with XBL and PSN and PC, so if they can get away with doing a minimal amount of work, they will.

Again, it's still a shame for the actual PS3 players, but there is reason behind their plan. But it's quite possible that something will pop up on PSN that they didn't expect, and disrupt the game's MP for a bit when it comes out, which will make people angry that they didn't test it out publicly. The only hope is that only small changes were made to the MP framework from COD4, and that the bugs that showed up there were fixed for CODWW...if that happens, the PSN rollout could be smooth and have no big problems.

I from my part have heard enough complains from developers regarding the PS3 environment.
