'Call Of Duty' beta goes public

The multiplayer beta of Call Of Duty: World At War has become available for public download on Xbox 360.

Early last month websites gave away codes to access new multiplayer maps, weapons and features for the next iteration of the franchise.

As part of this week's Xbox Live update, all gold subscribers can download the beta through a 890MB download.

The multiplayer PC beta will be closed off from the public until release, and there are no plans for a PlayStation 3 preview or demo.

Call Of Duty: World At War will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC from November 14.
