C&C4 multiplayer beta opens to all

Experience 5v5 multiplayer across four different maps.

EA has announced that PC gamers worldwide can get an early hands-on experience with Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight by joining the open multiplayer beta.

The open beta gives players the opportunity to try out the new strategic 5v5 multiplayer mode across four different maps, including the new Afflicted Arena. This new map features a once lush, Polynesian landscape transformed into a military dock by the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and currently besieged by Brotherhood of Nod forces aiming to claim the tactically important location and take control of the Pacific Rim.

As an added bonus, experience earned through the new Persistent Player Progression system during the multiplayer beta period will be transitioned to the full game upon its release.

"We could not be more excited to give fans a taste of what’s in store for Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight with the new multiplayer beta," said Lead Designer, Samuel Bass. "Players can expect the fast-paced strategic RTS action they’ve come to know and love in the Command & Conquer franchise augmented with new gameplay elements that really ratchet up the intensity, especially in our 5v5 multiplayer modes."

Gamers can get access to the beta by signing up at commandandconquer.com.

Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight is scheduled for release on March 19 for PC.
