The Crysis 3 open multiplayer beta goes live today for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Just to be clear, this is a multiplayer only beta (so it will not offer single player at all), but it should give PC gamers an idea of how the final version will run on their machines. If you are a PC gamer who does not have a Direct X 11 compatible card, DO NOT bother downloading the beta as it will not run on your machine.
