'Call of Duty: Black Ops 3' release date, features news: More official details about maps and modes of beta version revealed

More details are now coming out for the beta of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3."

The official details come directly from the game's developer Treyarch Studios.

According to the recent revelations from Treyarch, the beta for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" will be launched with three different multiplayer maps available.

The first of the three maps is Combine. In Combine, players will be taken to a farming and research facility in a region of the Egyptian Sahara. This particular map will be placing players in tight spaces, allowing for more firefights getting started right off the bat.

Next on the list of the revealed maps for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" is Evac. Evac situates players in an emergency evacuation zone. More frenzied combat is likely to stem from the setting of this new location.

Last of the three maps to be revealed is Hunted, according to PlayStation Lifestyle. In Hunted, players are transported to a hunting lodge located underneath a waterfall among the mountains of Ethiopia. For this new map, players will be rewarded for their ability to sneak around and execute stealth kills.

Seven game modes will also be included in the beta for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3," according to Gamespot.

The seven game modes are likely to be familiar to loyal "Call of Duty" players, as they are Capture the Flag, Demolition, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, Search and Destroy, and Team Deathmatch.

Specialists are also being introduced in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3," and they can be ranked up as players gain more and more experience using them.

The beta period for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" on PlayStation 4 will begin on Aug. 19 and will run through Aug. 24. For Xbox One and PC players, they can try out the beta starting Aug. 26 and enjoy it until Aug. 30.
