Yo, readers: Sony heard you like shooting, so it put a shooter in your shooter so you can shoot while you're shooting. More specifically, the publisher has announced that both regular and Helghast Edition copies of Killzone 3 will include vouchers which give early access to the SOCOM 4 multiplayer beta.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the beta will arrive at the same time as Killzone 3's launch -- Zipper Interactive's Chris Roper explained on PlayStation Blog, "To find out when the SOCOM 4 multiplayer beta begins, be sure to check back at SOCOM.com once you pick up your copy of Killzone 3, hitting shelves on February 22nd." Perfect; so we'll have some time to get really used to Killzone 3's control scheme before switching over to SOCOM 4's presumably wildly different control scheme. We anticipate that we'll be eating quite a few of our own accidentally-thrown frag grenades.

I already planned on getting Killzone 3. Adding the Socom 4 beta makes it even more sweeter to me.

Who cares. SOCOM is garbage now with it's regen health.

Telling me I need to pay $60 to play the beta. Ha.

Sony should pay us to play that casualized garbage.

PS: Thanks for killing SOCOM Sony.

This isn't being made buy /6 so there is a chance that it might be good. Let's see if Zipper can harness what made the old Socom games great. KZ3 was already a must buy for me, this is just icing on the cake.

SOCOM is the only shooter I buy for multiplayer only. I'm definitely getting SOCOM 4, so Killzone 3 is a must buy for me. :)

I didn't really need an incentive to buy Killzone 3, but this will do nonetheless :)

Yeah, it's actually kind of strange. It would have made sense to attach this to a new IP, or even something like it to KZ2, to try to get people into it. I think KZ3 will do just fine one it's own.

Maybe it's more about the timing of the game and the beta.

Once I saw the regen health and cover mechanic I new this socom would't even touch 3 in terms of it being tactical.
