The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta lands on the PC in a couple of weeks, and developer Treyarch’s detailed exactly what pre-order customers can expect.
It will consist of three maps, seven game modes - Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Domination, Demolition, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Capture the Flag, and Search & Destroy – as well as eight of the game’s Specialists, unique characters packing their own unique weapons and abilities.
Abilities range from robot Reaper’s decoy drones, to Battery’s kinetic armour and Ruin’s burst of speed. You’ll also be able to test out the game’s Weapon Paintshop, which allows players to create their own custom paintjobs.
“Since this is a Beta – and because it’s important that we stress test the game in particular ways – we will have gated progression caps along the way,” says Treyarch. “Also, note that Arena won’t be available in the Beta; however, we suspect that won’t take the competitive edge off of the games being played.”
You can find all the relevant details here. The Black Ops 3 Beta goes live on August 26, and the full game will be available on November 6.
