Brace yourself Euros, Activision has confirmed that the mutliplayer beta for Call of Duty 5 will be coming out for the PC and Xbox 360 sometime in November, while the official release date for the game is November 14th, three days later then the U.S.

Make sure to try out the new features of the game, like the squad system. See ya on the battlefield!

Treyarch boss Mark Lamia is understandably "excited to share a sneak peak of Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer with the community", explaining: "The team has worked hard to build upon the great history and foundation of Call of Duty multiplayer and we can't wait to go online to ramp up for our November launch."

The fifth game in the series reverts to a more traditional WWII setting after Modern Warfare's foray into contemporary battlefields, sort of like Back to the Future with artillery. Expectations are obviously high after the success of Infinity Ward's game, so why not get an inside edge on how it'll handle?
