So it's FHC minus the fluff at a higher price (unless you have PS+).

It's worthless, really. I guess they're trying to get people to buy the fortune hunter's club since it's cheaper than this.

Got my 2nd Rampant today on a late join Team Deathmatch game. Feels good, man!

Can't say i agree. We got to play most of the content months in advance and while i don't care for or use the majority of DLC skins, the ones that i do use are worth these $4 (especially Flynn).

We only got to play the first flashback pack months prior to this because it wasn't until recently that they fixed flashback pack 2 appearing for map selection. The UC2 skins are still a visual downgrade from their UC2 counterparts. Regardless, the FHC was really bad value for your money and with the PS+ discount, you would have saved $5 from the original price. lol

I hope ND adjusts how heavily the newest maps are weighted within a week or two. I feel like I've tried out all four of the newest maps enough for the new map feeling to disappear, and would like to be able to play the U2 maps more often. It seems like a U2 map is only an option about 10% of the time, and there's no guarantee it will even win the vote.

Tonight I kept glitching inside that 'cover spot' when you spawn as a hero in the beginning of every TDM match. It was so annoying...I thought they fixed those glitches like they did on the Museum.

It's $21 so you're only saving $4. :p

I have to say when they announced the season pass one of the reasons I held off on it (other than price) was my complete lack of interest in skin and non-maps DLC, so I figured I could save some money by buying them individually later.

Of course at $10 per pack or $21 for all maps this is is still way much more than what I'm willing to pay for Uncharted 3 DLC. Something like Killzone 3 was more reasonable for Sony, where there were 3 map packs at $6 and one or two of them were free for Plus members.

Clearly their strategy here is to milk the small core fanbase for all they can instead of trying to grow the audience for the game, which would give them a bigger audience to sell smaller DLC packs and even future Uncharted games.

So this is one of the final games I have in my physical backlog. I'm gonna try and finish it up this week, it's just that so far *location spoiler I'm up to the castle it seems to really drag on, especially the combat parts, more so than with 2 for me at least. Does it get less draining?

In my experience, I enjoyed the game a lot more after the part your currently stuck at, I got stuck there for a few months too before I went back to it.

Depends on how much you play, but other than Oasis I think all three map packs vastly improve the overall quality of the maps in this game.

Keep in mind though I'm not too fond of U3's maps, so you may feel differently.

I've only played it in Objectives so far, but I guess I'm not too surprised. The pub and the warehouse could have probably used another entrance or two.

Back at you! Warped and I had a lot of fun playing with you.


And yeah, tryhards love to camp with their party of 5 so they can die as little as possible. They also have a tendency of quitting if they die a few times.

Basically, they're stat whores.

In U2 they were the guys that would bunny hop all the time, usually used silent skins (they also liked Wetsuit Drake and Nathan Hale), and usually camped or at least stayed near their party.

You can still get great scores if you play 'purely' as you say. It all comes down to in-game tactics (map memorization, looking around your surroundings, and listening) and how you deal with certain scenarios. You're not going to be performing awesome if you take a big break from the game and don't expect to always pull off great scores because everyone has their games where they perform average to below average.

True.

Lag has been atrocious lately. Noticed tons of hitching during the kill cam and then heard my teammates roar with WTFs and complaints of lag. I even had a kill cam linger for far too long before it finally acknowledged that I had died. I imagine the same happened to the poor guy I sniped but remained frozen still as my teammates tried meleeing him. He eventually disappeared giving me the kill. All separate games.

So ND is lowering the range for The Long Ranger medal (originally 70 meters) to 50. wtf.

Not really sure how I feel about this. it's a massive reduction and I busted my ass off getting it legit at 70 meters without boosting for it like many people do.

The last thing this game needs is everyone using Scoped In gold with the G-MAL.

Also can't wait to read, "the dragon sniper with scoped in gold is overpowered". ugh. :|

EricND posted on the ND forums that you should save/upload any cinema files that you may have before the next patch (1.10) hits. More info coming next week. It's supposed to be pretty huge in terms of changes.

People were boosting long range, and long range medal was pretty stupid in the first place. People were killing from across the map and they still werent getting it. The only place that people found where they could get it was in Yemen, and that was when you were in that sniper spot in the tower, and you had to shoot someone else who was kinda at the back part of that tower.

It was dumb and needed a reduction where actually killing someone across the map gives you the medal, not because I was literally standing in a corner of the map, and shot someone else who was also standing in the corner.

Glad about the reduction personally.

I'm OK with the idea of getting a reduction, but I think they reduced it too much. 60 would have been completely fine, IMO. We'll see how it works out.

1) The G-MAL is fine. It's balanced now.
2) M9 Rate of Fire needs to go away.

I haven't played U3 in about a month and a half. I have been doing a Metal Gear playthrough which was needed, because after 90 hours of U3, I was burned out.

I popped in U3 today, downloaded the new maps, and I am in love again.

Fuck, this game is great. I honestly love the multiplayer and it makes me sad to think that there might not be an Uncharted 4. (I don't know this obviously, but ND are known for making new IP's each new generation.)

Anyways, tried out the new AK-47, and I like it a lot. The accuracy buff was needed, and I found I did a lot better with it. I used it for an entire match and it felt great.

Btw, are they increasing the level cap anytime this century?

It has done A LOT. You can escape the two bursts now and it's harder to get killed in long distances because you don't freeze in one spot. Roll away, jump. It works. It's still a popular gun to use because unfortunately, it's really good at any distance whether it's close, mid, or long range combat and most maps tend to favor use of the G-MAL. It's an oversued gun for sure, but it's fine now.

Well that's your opinion, my opinion is that any halfway decent gmal users will still destroy you in half a second.
