Call of Duty players around the world can finally rejoice! After two long months, Sledgehammer has announced that the Call of Duty WWII multiplayer private Beta begins on August 25 on PS4, and on September 1 for PS4 and Xbox One. Beta participants will be among the first in the world to get their hands-on with Call of Duty: WWII Multiplayer. The Private Beta will include brand new maps and Sledgehammer Games’ all-new War Mode experience.
Below is a snipped from SledgeHammer Games official announcement:
“We’re thrilled to finally share the Call of Duty WWII Private Multiplayer Beta with you beginning August 25th on PS4. While this Beta is only a small part of the feature-rich Multiplayer experience coming in November, it is a critical test of our core gameplay, our game systems, as well as a stress test of our online infrastructure at scale.
We love the active dialog we have with the Call of Duty community and value the exchange of ideas and constructive feedback we have with fans. Your feedback will help us finalize features, optimize gameplay balance, and refine the remaining development roadmap to launch. So please explore, rank up, and have fun. Share as much feedback as you can – everything helps. The development team will be playing non-stop, and we’ll be monitoring performance and collecting valuable data around the clock.”
During the Private Beta, players will get to try out the all new Division class system that is replacing the Create- A- Class System; it will be interesting to see how the Call of Duty community responds to having limited options. Divisions is Sledgehammer Games’ attempt to bring players into a more realistic Call of Duty setting, by making them choose between five iconic fighting groups. The private beta will also introduce player’s soldier progression that will help players unlock new gear for their soldiers.
Below is an overview on what Sledgehammer Games has stated that players should expect in the Private Multiplayer Beta:
Maps – At least three Multiplayer maps, including: Pointe Du Hoc, Ardennes, and Gibraltar.
War Mode – 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, score streaks, equipment, and Basic Training Skills.
What players should not expect:
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, score streaks, Basic Training, and equipment.
Gamers can pre-order Call of Duty: WWII on disc or digital download any time before or during the Private Beta ins order to gain Access. Beta begins first on PlayStation® 4 on August 25, 2017.
