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:

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, http://www.killzone.com has a section of the http://community.killzone.com/t5/Killzone-3-Open-Beta-Feedback/bd-p/bEN_KZ3OpenBETA specifically set up for this purpose.

Already released 9 hours before here in Germany. I'm not a huge fan of it but give it a try can't be wrong.

[GTluver]

sweet... anyone have it downloaded already? Taking ages to download thru PSN store. If anyone finds a link, let us know.

[Mbb]

It takes 3 freaking hours with my 35Mpbs (3,5MB/s) connection...

Well will play it tommorow then

[nick999]

well it only took 20 mins with my 50meg.

[NCSUfan]

lol was thinking the same thing.. it's only 850mb or so folks shouldnt take long, might be a lot of people trying to get it bogging down the server a bit, but its just a demo not a full game so it shouldn't take days to get.

I can't connect to online server - just play offline versus Bots is possible for me, and I'm not the only one.

no that's the only thing i can do too..

[barrybarryk]

me too on kmeaw using logan5 proxy tool, I get error code 2140073984 trying to launch an online game mode.

Actually cancel that, while still running kz3 after getting the error and being signed out i went to the machine running the proxy tool stopped it and restarted it, then signed back into psn using the ingame xmb (ps button) and it let me into an online game now.

and after turning off the ps3 and relaunching kz3 it still lets me in, seems to be a bug more than a security thing lol since it was only on the first attempt and just before the ts & cs come up.

[Razor29]

I am getting some pretty weird errors like parental control disabled my ability to play online with this game or 20005 error and 10007

i tried all the tricks DNS, LOGAN 5 on Wanikoko V2.
