The hottest and freshest details on the private multiplayer beta for Call of Duty: WWII came out this week. The beta, which begins on August 25 and only on the PlayStation 4 will include just a sample of the game's multiplayer. It will have three maps, at least three game modes, some degree of level progression, and more.
If you aren't in the beta and somehow avoid all coverage off the beta, Sledgehammer says that they will be doing an "unpacking" of the multiplayer beta during their livestream from GamesCom 2017. This will take place on August 22 at 10AM (PT). Once this beta wraps up, perhaps we'll get some more information on the game's single player story. I'm really excited to find out who the bad guys are!
First, Divisions replaces the Pick 10 Create-a-Class system, and delivers the fantasy of enlisting in one of five iconic fighting groups in the world’s most brutal conflict. This test of the Private Multiplayer Beta will feature an introduction to a portion of the player’s soldier progression and the underlying foundation of Divisions, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it. The final design of this new feature will continue to be fine-tuned as development continues from now through launch.
Also, we’re excited to hear from you after you’ve played Operation Breakout, our first War Mode experience. War, developed in partnership with our friends at Raven Software, is a new way to play Call of Duty Multiplayer in an immersive Allied vs. Axis fight across the war-torn village of St. Lo, France.
Here’s an overview on what you should expect in the Private Multiplayer Beta:
• Maps – At least three Multiplayer maps, including: Pointe Du Hoc, Ardennes, and Gibraltar.
• War – Operation Breakout
• Modes – Fan-favorite modes, including Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint.
• Divisions – Enlist in the Infantry, Expeditionary, Airborne, Armored, or Mountain Division. You are not limited to any one Division, and we encourage you to try them all!
• Progression – Players will begin at Soldier Rank 1 and rank up through a limited progression to unlock weapons, scorestreaks, equipment, and Basic Training Skills.
Here’s what you should not expect in the Private Multiplayer Beta:
• Headquarters – We’re testing the match-making of this all-new social experience, but access to this space will not be active during the Multiplayer Beta.
• Supply Drops, and Loot – These customization features that add depth and personality to your soldier will not be included in the Multiplayer Beta.
• Esports – Ranked Play, Game Battles, and our suite of competitive features will be accessible when we release in November.
• Additional content not in the Private Multiplayer Beta includes: full progression, remaining maps and modes, additional War Mode maps, and the full armory of weapons, scorestreaks, Basic Training, and equipment.
