No date has been set, however we can confirm that the beta start date will arrive in the opening week of August, this should mean that people will be able to get some hands-on time with the game’s multiplayer offerings within two weeks, neat eh? Currently we cannot confirm how long the beta will be live for, therefore we will have to keep you posted.

We can confirm that the beta will allow you to play two game modes, Chain Reaction and Team Deathmatch, however we do not know what maps gamers will have access to. What surprises us is the fact that the beta kicks off roughly one month before the game’s official release, this suggests that a day one patch will be launched to smooth out issues found during beta testing, but it does certainly put developers under a bit of pressure. The game will arrive in North America on September 6 and in the EU from September 8, it has been almost three years since Resistance 2 arrived, therefore we are sure that there will be lots of interest surrounding this release.

If you want to know how to get access to the beta it all depends on where you live, US gamers who bought SOCOM 4 will get access to the beta, we confirmed this back in January here. As for European gamers you will have to be a PlayStation Plus subscriber to gain play the multiplayer beta, we confirmed this back in April.

So if you are not currently eligible to play the beta it is not too late, Europeans can subscribe to PS Plus, whilst Americans can purchase SOCOM 4, not only will this gain you access to the Resistance 3 beta but you can enjoy SOCOM 4 for a couple of weeks before the beta kicks off. SOCOM 4 arrived back in April this year and received mainly positive reviews.

Earlier today we introduced you to Resistance 3′s latest trailer which shows off the game’s survivor edition, you can find out all about this here, this may interest gamers who take Resistance 3 more seriously.

Will you be playing the game’s beta?

Now we have even more great news for all you SOCOM fans out there, as we’ve just learned that the full Intel locations guide has recently been unveiled.

As recently noted over on the justpushstart.com website, the SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEAls game features more than 30 Intels for players to collect, with each mission containing 3 Intels. In order for players to find all of the Intels successfully, they have to literally search everywhere.

However, the recently unveiled locations guide will help you find them a lot quicker. For example, one of the Intels in the First Strike mission is located on a table with a closed umbrella near the artillery, while another is on top of a table in a café just off the highway.

Meanwhile, the Intels in the Rendevous mission are located on the stove in front of a destroyed building before you meet up with 707th, in front of the first building that you encounter on your left as you make you way to the AA battery and on top of a table inside a barn.

You can view the entire Intel locations guide via the JPS website. How many Intels have you found in the SOCOM 4 game so far?

According to a recent article posted on IGN every copy of SOCOM 4 Full Deployment Edition will come with a code for beta access to the Resistance 3 beta, however you will have to check the packaging for the Resistance 3 logo if you are purchasing the standard version of the game.

At the end of this post we have embedded an image showing the box art with the Resistance 3 logo showing, this may result in more in-store purchases as buying online will not ensure that you will get the beta access, which will obviously be frustrating for those of you who have already pre-ordered the the standard edition of SOCOM 4.

For once in-store purchases are being rewarded as most of the time online retailers offer such bonuses, the question is: Will this be enough for you to buy SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs in-store on its release date (April 19 North America)?
