They have a jungle map, just not with the gameplay mode he wants. I'm curious as to what the jungle looks like, everything I've read and play so far still looks very industrial and I want more organic. The snow map from the beta is pretty sweet but would have been even cooler to have one without the main focus still being buidlings.

Ya I meant to agree to that part of the comment to. I play Warzone 90% of the time.

Killzone 3 Open Beta Coming to the PSN on the 3rd of February

It’s Friday and it is a good news day! Between the 3rd and the 15th of Feb you will be able to download and play the Killzone 3 Open Beta from the PlayStation Store.

This Beta will offer you exclusive early access to the MP05 ‘Frozen Dam’ multiplayer level from Killzone 3, including all three online multiplayer modes – Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations – as well as the offline multiplayer mode, Botzone. A sprawling asymmetrical map set in an old dam facility, the playing field in MP05 has been carefully tailored to fit each of the multiplayer modes.

These are the four multiplayer modes included with the Open Beta:

Guerrilla Warfare (16 players)
Guerrilla Warfare is a standalone multiplayer mode similar to classic Team Deathmatch: You and your teammates must try to kill as many of the opposing team as you can before the timer runs out. In this mode, only the downstream monitor houses and repair bay are accessible, giving the map a very frantic pace.

Warzone (24 players)
If you’ve played Killzone 2, you may already be familiar with Warzone. It’s a round-based multiplayer campaign that consists of five randomly ordered mini-missions. In this mode the power house and penstocks directly under the dam are accessible as well, so there’s more room to come up with different strategies and approaches to your goal.

Operations (16 players)
Operations is a new multiplayer campaign which aims to deliver a more cinematic, story-based gameplay experience, similar to that of Killzone 3′s single-player mode. It consists of a sequence of linear mini-missions, in which the ISA must try to secure the docks and destroy the dam, while the Helghast must try to protect the dam facility.

Botzone (one player and up to 15 bots)
Botzone is an offline multiplayer mode ideal for those looking to get to grips with the controls, the weapons or the map layout before going up against live players. Each of the aforementioned multiplayer modes can be played offline, against CPU-controlled opponents.

For details of all the maps in Killzone 3 see our feature on Killzone.com.
Over the next couple of weeks keep your eyes on the PlayStation Blog and Killzone.com for more information.
Have a good weekend.

[Rike255]

I'm very curious to see if there have been many improvements from the PS+ beta. Welcome news indeed

[G1ggs]

Superb! I'll just have to juggle about playing Dead Space 2, LBP2 and now this!

Official PlayStation Magazine UK have delivered their verdict on Killzone 3 giving the game a score of 9/10.

Described as "truly bring[ing] a whole new level of immersion to gaming" with the combination of Move and 3D, Killzone 3 is "a watershed moment in a revolution affecting all of gaming."

OPM went on to heap praise upon the title with only minor niggles against it, such as not moving the genre on in any way through its gameplay.

Could be something as simple as it costs money to put "demos" on PSN, but "betas" are free (or cheaper)? Total guess, but this sort of thing happens all the time.

[Pounder]

why not 10/10?

Why not? They still could be testing servers, 3D, Move, etc. Plenty of things...

Kinda spoilers in those trophy descriptions.

Brand New Killzone 3 Multiplayer Video

Can’t wait for the official Killzone 3 launch? Multiplayer Open Beta still too far away? Don’t worry, we’ve got something to tide you over! Let this video guide you through Killzone 3‘s third multiplayer map, Bilgarsk Boulevard. Stick to the alleyways and building interiors, though, because the long sightlines make crossing the boulevard a dangerous proposition…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYqyAcYlk8Y

Killzone 3 features eight diverse multiplayer levels, including MP03 Bilgarsk Boulevard and the MP05 Frozen Dam map that comes with the Multiplayer Open Beta. For more details on Killzone 3′s multiplayer maps, check out the full briefing at Killzone.com.
We’ll unveil more details on the Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta soon (along with some surprises), so stay tuned.

[Ureh]

I hope I have some time to play this. This year is going to be much busier than I anticipated.

Not to mention... Uncharted 3 and Dead Space 2.

[G1ggs]

The trophies don't sound to difficult but we don't know what the hidden trophies are. I'm guessing the majority of the hidden ones are for each chapter.
