Sorry PS3 gamers, but according to Treyarch and the people at Activision, the upcoming online multiplayer beta for Call of Duty: World at War will be for Xbox 360 and PC owners only.
For those of you who remember, Infinity Ward pulled a similar move last year by hosting the Call of Duty 4 beta only on the Xbox 360. After speaking with a Activision representative, I was told that the reasoning behind doing an Xbox 360 and PC beta was primarily due to increased server and connectivity data.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.
Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.
Gamespot : Call of Duty: Vanguard launches with 20 multiplayer maps, three of which are actually remakes from 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. Let's take a look at how the maps have changed with this side-by-side comparison.
ouch, that hurts for ps3 gamers who were looking forward to get into beta. I can't even get into lbp or socom or resistance or home or killzone2 beta so doesn't matter to me. And, I am not even looking to buy this game. I have 360 too but no live.
We got Resistance 2.
When I talked to the Activision PR I got the worst excuse to as why the game was only having a beta on the Xbox 360 and PC. Basically he said that it was better for everyone to do the Xbox 360 beta and that they really only do it for server and connectivity data.
He also brought up the fact that most betas on the PS3 are first party. That Sony needs to change their mind on how they run things.
Resistance 2 will the be the true next gen FPS this year.With the maximun use of the Cell and Blu-Ray,the Xbox 360 will fail to challenge the PS3 with multiplatform games which run on the PS3 better anyway
Resistance2
Killzone2
Little Big Planet
all betas on PS3.
