Thanks to a post on the European PlayStation Blog, it’s been announced that those of you hankering for a bit of Killzone 3 multiplayer action ahead of the game’s official release will be able to satisfy your desire for online first-person destruction early next month - for free!

Starting on February 3rd, you’ll be able to download the Killzone 3 multiplayer open beta from the PlayStation Store to get your hands on this portion of the game. You’d better get your fill though, because you’ll ‘only’ have until February 15th to take down as many online ISA and Helghast troops as you can!

From the post:

“This Beta will offer you exclusive early access to the MP05 ?Frozen Dam? multiplayer level from Killzone 3… 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.”

The following game modes will also be available in 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 (16 players)

“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.”

Mark your calendars!

Killzone 3 releases on February 22nd in North America, February 23rd in Europe and February 25tth in the UK!
