Yeah bringing Highrise back would be cool, which is weird considering it wasn't terribly great in U2 or U3 but could work here. That being said I doubt they'll do any more maps unless they add some for the expansion.
Treasury is pretty interesting, I really like the layout and the bookcase room is really neat. The setting is a bit tired though and I would have much liked something Madagascar themed or even something beach themed. Lots of cool things they could do that probably won't ever be made...

They really should bring back the lab. Having modifiers like grenade launcher only, pistols only etc shouldn't be hard at all to implement in a playlist.

They started season 6, because master players from season 4 didn't get deranked with the start of season 5, so they just scrapped the whole thing. You'll still be able to get the S5 rewards, but only at the end of S6.
They also fixed an out of bounds exploit on Village. I noticed it the other day when at least 3 players on the other team repeatedly tried to glitch out of the confines of the playable area near the overturned truck. It was almost comical, because they were so bad and kept getting shot down every time. I tried it in a private match and all it takes is a well timed roll, followed by a quick jump (not my video). Good thing they fixed it, would have been really annoying if more people found out about that.

Is the multiplayer still pretty active? How does it compare to Uncharted 2's? Is there a bare bones mode? I'm picking up the game again today after selling it when I finished the story when it came out.

It's nothing like UC2 lol. It's more like TLOU. It focuses too much on team work so you'll always be getting team shot in most gun fights. People are always running in a pack, there's stupid AI, mysticals, and there's the downed system from TLOU MP. All maps follow the 3 lane path and verticalitiy doesn't exist in any of the maps. Still, I find it fun because of the gun play. It's the best in the series IMO.
Also, there was a bare bones mode called classic, but for some reason it was STILL in beta and was removed from the playlist again. It'll be back soon

That all sounds like fluffy crap. Miss the simplicity of UC2's MP.
Basically, they made the best multiplayer in terms of pure gameplay and then they ruined it by turning the mechanics into some absurd TLOU-lite crap and in turn killed the community and Uncharted multiplayer just when they had the chance to make it huge thanks to the PS4's success.
Don't expect anything as good as pre-1.05 U2, beta or final patch U3, the player numbers or the healthy community from these games.
They introduced a classic mode (when the game was already pretty much dead) that was substantially better than the rest of the crappy MOBA/TLOU modes but for some reason they never keep it on the playlist.
Maps are Gears of War-esque garbage except for a few. If you expect the verticality and transversal that the series is known for you'll be dissapointed. This is now another generic TPS that had to dumb down every map to accomodate for the new bullshit AI, mysticals and revive system they forced into it.
The winner team is always the one which manages to stay as 5 for the longest time so they can spam revives. I hope you liked TLOU multiplayer, because the team behind Uncharted 4 multiplayer sure did and you better do too.
There's also a scammy grindfest F2P model on top of everything that locks new weapons behind random loot.
Have fun.

Spawn waves also contribute to team shooting... imagine decimating an entire team, only to have them spawn a few seconds later behind you.
Spawn waves have no place outside of Co-op. Whoever thought it was a good idea to introduce this in PvP MP should be fired. UC3 MP had a better spawn logic, along with Back in the Saddle which provided a deeper metagame for objective modes.

Agreed about the wave spawning. That's probably the BIGGEST factor to everyone always being together. The fact that you have to wait so you can spawn with the rest of your team mates pisses me off too much. If they were to remove it, it would severely decrease the major hand holding in this game and maybe make flanking more successful to those that don't want to play in a fucking pack all the time.

Removing spawn waves and bringing back verticality would make flanking a viable strategy, but it's too late now...
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
Agreed. But I still firmly believe that just removing the wave spawning would decrease everyone sticking together since they won't be able to spawn with each other. Maybe then gun fights can take place in several places at once instead of always being on one spot with both teams shooting at each other.

Quick highlight from todays handful of matches, and my first match using the shotgun in months.
Well thats different. Pretty sure the MP team has been the same since UC3.

Is the Village map the same one as in Uncharted 2?

More or less, with some adjustments.

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of smurfs in this game?

Haven't seen any smurfs, you sure your Ps4 isn't broken or maybe took some drugs?
if by smurfs you mean noobs,
then yes, it's always been like that. I usually get paired with 4 people without thumbs or are trying to play this game with their feet

Smurfs are high level players who make new accounts to be matched up with low level players or play on low level only lobbies.

Ah, I had no idea. Matchmaking seems about the same for me. Usually 1-2 good players and the rest not that good. I'm gonna be playing today so I'll keep an eye out. Although I'm not 100% sure on how to spot them

Just look at their profile. If they only have this game or small amount of trophies then they're probably alts. There were many people with alts in UC2/UC3.

I only just started playing and I've been using the Warm Up playlist and I've seen players who know every nook and cranny of a map or in general seem way too skilled to be in Warm Up.

What? The game doesn't display the opposing teams ranking, so how would you even know? If it seems like people are playing outside of their skill bracket it's because the game resets everyone at the end of each season, so everyone has to climb through all over again.
If you're playing at silver rank, then you're playing with people who might soon be platinum, diamond, master etc.

That has been a "tradition" ever since the UC2 era. Too many cowards/stat whores.
Luckily, in this game grinding is a deterrent, so you must be really stupid to use alts IMHO...

Hm looks like the grab is pretty specifically off the edge there.
Gotta be right on it to make it.

I understand that noobs are a good thing in this game because it shows people still have interest in playing this game and without them, the game would slowly die away. but throw me a fucking bone once in a while and give me some fucking decent team mates for once. God, I've lost 8 matches in a row tonight because I keep getting stuck with brand new players. It's so frustrating.

They're doing another event.
They're doing another event.
Cool, but Classic Mode is still in beta?! lol
Also, of all possible holidays they make an event for cinco de mayo, a holiday that is only celebrated by Mexicans and some Americans? Why didn't they do anything for international holidays like Christmas, Halloween etc? I'm also reminded that ND haven't added flag caps for Sweden, Norway or Denmark (Finland for some reason though).
Yeah, ND doesn't really put any effort into events. I mean... A Mexico cap? At least add a sweet sombrero or something. And yeah, choosing Cinco de Mayo and skipping bigger holdiays doesn't make much sense.
It was just a coincidence that they are releasing the beta on Cinco de Mayo.
It doesn't really matter what holiday they "celebrate" with an event, I personally just wish they did them more often. Not having a relic weekend thing around holiday season was just stupid.
Here's an idea ND, have a substantial update and relic bonus event when Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is released. That would be a good way to make people test/jump back into the MP when they finish the campaign.

Christmas? LOL... they don't even do Hanukkah events anymore.
They should also add BRA and KSA caps.
