MicroVolts: Open Beta Begins Thursday

Last summer at GamesCom I got to play a bit of Microvolts and it was fun, so it’s good to see they’re on the verge of opening to the public.

Rock Hippo Productions Ltd is announced that the Open Beta for MicroVolts,their MMOTPS, will begin this Thursday. Here is what Open Beta offers players:

• New game mode “Elimination”: Elimination is a team-based mode that rewards strategic, aggressive offense. When a player is killed, they’re out for the round! The Radar item spawns in the middle of the map at half-time. Grab it and you’ll be able to see every remaining enemy on the map. It’s a fight for map control! Hang back, and you’ll surely be eliminated. Push forward, and you’ll be the eliminator.

• Two new maps, Castle and Junk Yard, offer countless hours of multiplayer mayhem.
• Players can vote for the game mode to be used for the first Open Beta Tournament here: http://www.microvolts.com/forum.aspx?id=2412
