Crysis 3 Open Beta

The Crysis 3 Multiplayer Open Beta begins tomorrow, offering gamers their first look at a near-final version of Crytek's latest first-person sci-fi shooter. Featuring two maps, two modes, and the first ten levels of the multiplayer progression system, it's a sizeable slice of Crysis 3 goodness. More importantly, the beta will give gamers a good sense of how the final product will run on their systems - at this stage debug bits and bobs still exist, and final optimization has yet to occur, but in general development is in the final stretch, with graphics settings and features locked down.
