Activision has given an update on Black Ops III’s multiplayer beta:
Good morning,
As some of you might have seen last night during the studio’s Periscope broadcast, Treyarch confirmed the some new additions the Black Ops III Beta currently available on PlayStation 4. For starters, they are increasing the level cap to Major (Level 34) – which will unlock new weapons, equipment, perks and scorestreaks.
Also, the team at Treyarch is introducing a new map into the rotation with Stronghold – a high-tech Swiss chateau in the frozen Alps, featuring an asymmetrical design with a lethal mix of exposed sightlines and tight, close quarters.
In addition to new level increase and new map, a new specialist will be available for players that reach Level 34 – Reaper.
- Real Name: Experimental War Robot (EWR)
- Bio: Started as an expensive military R&D project to supplement Special Operations soldiers in the field, the EWR was a cutting-edge prototype combat robot, the most advanced in the world at the time. Budget overruns and embarrassing political incidents left the project all but a resource for scrap metal, except for the one prototype that remained.
- Weapon: Scythe – Robotic arm that transforms into a high power Mini-Gun.
- Ability: Psychosis – Infiltrate enemy DNI systems to simulate three decoy clones.
Finally, the team at Treyarch is introducing the Uplink game mode to the multiplayer playlist. In Uplink, players face off in an effort to take control of a downed satellite and into the enemy’s goal.
Over the course of the next few days, the team and Treyarch will be making tweaks to the Black Ops III Beta on PlayStation 4, so stay tuned to @Treyarch, @CallofDuty and the Treyarch Blog for more updates on the beta.
Best,
Neil
