Sign ups for the multiplayer Beta of Empire: Total War are now open for business.

According to RPS, you can play the entire campaign with a pal, fight against the AI or go head to head with your soon-to-be ex-best friend. Huzzah!

Head on over to the official site to throw your name in the hat.

Total War developer Creative Assembly’s doing more stuff on 360 and PS3, as proven by the studio’s ongoing search for cross-platform staff.

“The successful applicant will be interested in all things graphics related and work as part of the team developing all aspects of a game specific engine for 360, PS3 and PC,” says this graphic programmer ad.

Here’s another. This one’s for a lead engine programmer: “The successful applicant will lead a team developing all aspects of a game specific engine for 360, PS3 and PC with a view to extending the tech to ‘next next’ gen consoles.”

CA’s console efforts haven’t been especially well received to date, with sci-fi RTS Stormrise managing 48 percent on MC for its 360 version (51 percent for PS3), and the earlier Viking: Battle For Asgard taking 65 and 68 for PS3 and 360 respectively.

The outfit’s next announced game is Napoleon: Total War on PC, slated for February.

Empire: Total War will go into Open Beta on December 7 in order to test out the upcoming multiplayer campaign.

That’s next Monday, so you may want to bookmark the sign-up page, as entrants will be taken soon.

During the Beta, two players can play on the same campaign map either against or with each other.

“After over 6 months of internal testing, we’re happy to finally give all players of Empire: Total War a taste of the future of Total War,” said creative director Mike Simpson. “Information and user feedback gathered from this Open Beta should help us getting the Campaign Multiplayer mode ready to be a regular feature in upcoming titles in the Total War series.”

Steam’s hosting the Beta, but you’ll still have to sign-up through the link above.
