Just a reminder to fans out there that we are in an open beta, so it’s possible you may experience some issues connecting to a game. Please be patient and know that we are doing everything we can to make this a smooth and fun experience for everyone.

Killzone 3 multiplayer open beta

Starting at 10AM Pacific Time today, the Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta is live! Japan and Europe are already hard at frag and now it’s time for North America and Mexico to join the party! You’ll find the Killzone 3 Beta on the main page of the PlayStation Store; it’s also listed under the 3D and PlayStation Move categories for added convenience.

The Open Beta includes one map, Frozen Dam. All game modes can be played on this map:

  • Warzone: The traditional Killzone game mode with game types changing on-the-fly
  • Guerrilla Warfare: Our take on Team Deathmatch
  • Operations: Our new story driven multiplayer game mode
  • Botzone: An offline version of Warzone which can be played against AI opponents

The Killzone 3 Open Beta is playable in 3D and supports the PlayStation Move motion controller. The Beta trial runs until February 15th, so get on board while you can! If you have any feedback, Killzone.com has a section of the forum specifically set up for this purpose. You can of course track all your stats on Killzone.com as well.

Lastly, don’t forget that from Friday, February 4th through Sunday, February 6th we will be giving away 20 Limited Helghast Editions each day. Team members will log on to the Open Beta each of the three days to randomly select players in matches. We will not select players more than once during the sweepstakes and will notify the winners via the email address associated with their PSN account. Check here for official sweepstakes rules.

See you online!

  • Additionally, I would like to add that although I think the gameplay is great, the menu is too dark and too red, making it hard to read, even though I set the in-game brightness to maximum.

  • I know it is only BETA at this point, but PLEASE, can we left-handers get a little more customization options for the controllers?

    Thanks

  • Argh , I love the beta i mean… I LOVE IT , Operations is epic , love the cut scene’s and the Team Deathmatch. <– I say that because i don't remember what it's called.
    But now i keep getting this stupid 10005 or whatever Error , i'm going to try now to see if it's working , but if it's not it's gunna make me mad because i really want to play it!

  • @251, There is a left/right analog switch in the options …

  • Still having connection problems, after hours on end, still no luck.Hoping to be able to play it tomorrow before school starts back up. :\

  • Breaking news IT’S BACK ON! , sorry for this being…Well so early or late or whatever. BUT IT’S BACK UP AND RUNNING! YAY! :D

  • @xXMorpheusXx

    i second that! especially with the Move. its kinda awkward to have the gun on the opposite side of the screen. i’ll let the fact that the sharpshooter isnt left hand friendly, but what does a guy got to do to get some left handed support. its not like there isnt millions of us out there. jeeze :P

  • You guys should allow us to save the character classes we make like in Modern Warfare 2 because I’m tired of having to switch to a different secondary weapon and different equipment each time I decide to play as a different class.

  • In final version, it would be nice (and very usefull) to be able to turn off the control acceleration. Very annoying when using alternate controllers (fragfx and stuff).
    Killzone is the only game implementing that acceleration stuff. Too bad.

  • I’m getting the “Error 8001” when I try to connect online, I called up my freind and he says the same is happening with him. Is this going to be fixed, or does this mean we will no longer be able to play it?

    Thanks,

  • I’m really upset. I haven’t been able to log in all weekend to play so that I had a chance to win a copy of the game. Everytime I try to log in the game either just stops at connecting or an error message just comes up

  • Connection problems fixed, thank you.

  • Having issues connecting… Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t by it is fun

  • The Beta Dosent Seem To Work For Me I Just Get The Connecting Sign But It Dosent Connect. How Can I Fix This???

  • This is the 2nd frist person shooter I’ve ever played. I got the Orange Box for Portal and Now I’m addictive for FPS. AND IM A RPG NERD! [DELETED]! XD I think its the class and leveling system that made me fall in love with it. ^_^

  • Why is there a connection failure????? It’s like they’re just teasing us players!

  • I don’t know if you Killzone3 guys are still reading this, but the glitchy screens in the menus are really obnoxious and make it easy to lose track of what you’re reading when you’re looking through match results and names keep flickering out.

    I get that it’s supposed to look edgy and all, but this isn’t a good GUI design with the flickering text and it isn’t immersive or believable. This war is filled with high technology. I mean, we’re supposed to believe they can make an invisibility cloak for marksmen but they can’t make data screens that don’t randomly flicker out the data so that it cannot be read efficiently?

  • Can’t connect.
    Error 20002.

  • same here… Error 20002. and it takes a very very long time to connect. i’ve only gotten to the region list and clicked on europe and nothing. after that error 20002 repeatedly

  • hey, do you plan to continue updating and fixing bugs, connection errors, in-game glitches, etc., as long as beta is out until KZ3 is officially released? because repeatedly getting those connection errors is extremely annoying, all of my other games for ps3 connect without any problems, so looking forward to you checking into it :)

  • Keep Getting error 20002 but my friend across town can get on almost everytime. Please fix this

  • Error code 10002, just the latest in a series of error codes Ive gotten. I rarely get into a working game, this seriously hinders the quality of the game and shows some really poor execution on the network admins part. Guerrilla Games should be disappointed and embarrassed as to how bad the system is working. I realize this is a beta but its an open public beta which means a private beta was already held and should have resolved many of these issues. How hard is it to add some stable servers, other company’s do it, I hate everything Xbox but Im positive that if this were on 360 they wouldn’t be dealing with these issues. When the game actually works its amazing, but this awful and complete lack of network support is just unforgivable, it was down for two solid days recently then it worked for a bit and now its down again. You want people to experience the game and enjoy it this is not how you do it. Please fire whoever is in charge of your network because this frustrating inability to get in on a fifteen day open beta which in the end will end up being about five actual days has made me take Killzone 3 completely off my definite buy list and replace it with something that I know will work when I want to jump on line and play.

  • Is the mulitplayer suppose to be working on the beta?? because i can play the bot one but not the multiplayer?? it says error must log in to playstation network but i am logged in

  • Same here, keep getting the error code 20002 saying I have to re-login… looks awesome but can’t play..

    Can I have some cheese with my whine? >:P

  • Is it hard to connect because it is just a beta??? or is this how it will be as far as online when we buy the game??

  • Worked GREAT lastnight, HAD A BLAST on Multi and BOT, installed update patch today and now just sits at connecting…
    connecting…
