If the update is really big, then perhaps it might contain some LL maps as well.
edit: The update is up!
It's ~1.5GB...

Apparently they added a Sure Foot booster, but it's only for Co-op... why not in PvP as well?

What.. theres two weapons in the update? Two assualt rifles to be exact, why weren't they shown in the trailer?
Same MP as UC4

Did they tweak classic since I played it when it first released?

Incredible it took them 1 year to have classic mode in the game. It was doable day one with the modifier for private matches. The current form is well polished and all, but..... 1 year? Damn, ND.
Anyway, did a match, had a blast. Glad to be back, I hope TLL will bring some fresh blood.

PSA: KOs in Classic mode counts as downs for your challenges.
Not from what I've played, really happy with how it ended up overall.

This matchmaking can seriously fuck off. My god. I can't even enjoy this game tonight because everyone on my team are fucking useless players. But let's face off against decent players. Smfh. Tired of this. ND punishes solo players so bad in this game most of the time. 😐
Me and a friend quite regularly joke about how we're basically cursed to carry teams of novices and trash players for eternity in MP when we play lol
Yeah, it's gone.

It was a buggy mess and barely anyone used it, so they probably removed it.
I still don't understand why UC2 MP cinema was flawless with only 256MB of RAM and now that we have 8GB of RAM it's a lot worse... it kinda proves that specs mean nothing without proper coding.
If you go from 1.24 to 1.25 it downloads a delta update, otherwise it downloads the entire update.

I cant even play any more because theres rarely many oceanic players.
Used to play UC2 with American friends just because there were always players.
It's back now

"Buys DLC Gameplay Chest, get a new booster saying no knockdown from explosives! Then realizing that its for Survival Mode only" 
Almost Naughty Dog, almost. Getting stunned/knocked down from explosives is hands down my most annoying peevee in multiplayer.
Although to be perfectly honest, seeing that the booster requires 4 LP, i'm not sure if i would have used it anyway, at least not full time. While getting stunned by explosives can be annoying, it doesnt happen enough to me wanting to change my current loadout.

Hmm, I wonder what the meaning behind the preset loadout "The Ryan" is?
Just noticed it.

For anyone who is not into ranked I'd at least try placing right now. I played, lost 2 games and won 1, did pretty shitty (last place in two of the games I think) and still hit Gold 3 somehow and got the gold mask thingamajig. Nice for 3 quick games. Not sure how the ranking decay works or anything, might play one game a month or whatever and hopefully keep gold3 till the season ends.

Woooo, Classic mode is finally here, only a full year late! Stared at the matchmaking screen for seven minutes before finally getting put into a match (had a lot of fun, though, good job with the design of Classic, ND). Hopefully Lost Legacy injects some fresh blood into the playerbase, else I fear the effort will be largely for naught at this stage of the game's life.

Just like UC3.
By time they acknowledge what players want, the players have all dropped​ the game.

I'm afraid it will only be temporary, just like the Xmas n00bs resurgence.

Yep! I'll still continue facing the same players every night! Thank you, SBMM.

I just booted this up again for the first time in like a year. Had to get used to some stuff again but I was topping the leaderboards again by the time I stopped. What's the hot mode right now? I just played TDM.

And Ranked seems to be full of "auto" Mettlers...
i just think all the objective modes suck in U4, and it's pretty tragic because i don't really expect any new ones at this point - but they absolutely should retire plunder and command from public playlists to focus the player base, if nothing else. ideally they would replace them with a new objective based mode that people actually like... but a year after a release, its increasingly less and less likely that this will happen
the gameplay in u4 is great and the shooting is a lot better than U3 and U2, but i put over 1000 hrs in U3 and i've put less than 100 hrs in u4 by comparison... moreover, U4 is a game that has countless more unlockables and earnables, and is always rewarding me for logging in and playing when U3 never did... so I have to ask myself "why"
and the answer, i've concluded, is that the game simply hasn't catered to me. and that's fine i guess. but here's what i mean: in U4, plunder isn't plunder. King of the hill isn't king of the hill. Command isn't turf war... well ok, that one they seemed to have acknowledged with the name change - but the point is still the same. and my all-time favorite mode - Team Objective - is still AWOL.
The one objective mode that i actually kind of like - Bounty Hunter - is more derivative of TLOU interrogation mode than it is any Uncharted mode. It's also a riff of Kill Confirmed from COD and very much a constant slaying based objective, which i find slightly disappointing.
frankly, they've done a bad job at designing modes that i want to play. they took things that weren't broke in u2 and u3 and 'fixed' them. I used to say i wanted Team Objective back in U4, but with how they've bastardized and mashed up all the modes they've brought over... i really don't know if i'd like it even if they did bring it back.
i still hold out hope for what the lost legacy updates might bring to multiplayer, and I will play the game as long as they continue to update it... but it feels weird to say a year after release that my #1 most wanted feature is still new modes.

I totally see this MP going F2P before the year is over.

Why? They can consolidate the player pool by having all modes into a single playlist and make them votable (RNG is ND's strongest point judging from map selection).
You could argue that TDM would outvote Plunder for example, but how is that different from the current situation? TDM has far more players than Plunder. Plunder is an low populated playlist that only caters to boosters. This segregation is nonsensical for a niche game.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna repeat the same mistakes in TLOU2 MP, because... ND.
Probably not, since UC4 MP is included in Lost Legacy. It should have gone F2P long time ago, not after TLOU2 MP comes out.

Have they even done one since last Fall? I wouldn't count on anything but a 50% Uncharted Points sale, if that.
They had one for Cinco De Mayo for some reason, so maybe?

ND is more likely to celebrate non-US holidays these days for some reason...

Seems like i was only half right. On top of the -50% sale on UP, they're also doing a double xp event. Would have been great if i hadn't been level 90 for months.

They've added these with the last update. So it's the EA crew, huh, was wondering what they were.
