The Call of Duty: World at War
multiplayer betas will provide players with an opportunity to play up to Level
40 as U.S. Marines, German Wehrmacht, Japanese Imperial Army and Russian Red
Army factions in a variety of game types (Team Death Match, Free-For-All,
Capture the Flag and War), across three different maps:

  • Castle: The Imperial Japanese Army
    faces off against the Marine Raiders in a daytime battle, located on the
    grounds of an ancient, Japanese castle.

  • Makin: The U.S. Marine Raiders
    square off against the Imperial Japanese Army in a nighttime fight, set in an
    outpost on the Makin Atoll in the Pacific.

  • Roundhouse: The Wehrmacht will
    fight the Red Army to the bitter end in a daytime struggle that features tank
    and infantry combat, set in a desolate, war-torn European train depot.

The Games for Windows beta will last
for a few weeks; however, the full battle will begin on November 11, 2008 when
Call of Duty: World at War is released to retailers nationwide.
