Is there a thread for this? Because I found those "things" when I made some research with Google this morning. It looks like ther are related to these 2 websites Uutforsket.no and Outforskat.se: http://soundcloud.com/uutforsket Oslo, Norway Some audio clip in Norwegian language, but reversed... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://vimeo.com/uutforsket Bokstav (Norwegian) = Letter (English) I was able to see the video this morning, but now it is set to private. There was someone walking (like in a first person view) in what I think is the Frogner Park in Oslo, Norway. (Frognerparken is title of the video) There was snow on the ground, that person was pointing at a pillar and he walked some steps to discover a hidden paper with the letter K. At the end of the video, there was this text: Hvor Mange Statuer Er Det! = How many statues are there! Frognerparken? = Frogner Park? Uutforsket.no / Ditt Svar = Uutforsket.no / Your Answer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://soundcloud.com/outforskat Stockholm, Sweden But no sound clip here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before the release of Uncharted 3, there was in Denmark this website Uudforsket.dk: It was viral marketing following the exploits of a fake Danish explorer, Wilhelm Von Bernhoff. There were puzzles to solve and clues to find which led to the discovery of a hidden treasure in Copenhagen. Everything seems to start over again with other websites (Uutforsket.no and Outforskat.se) which now comes from Norway and Sweden ...

The norwegian quix is fun.. but I´m stuck...

First there was this movie at Vimeo Where you got the letter K (the video is now private)..
the asnwer to the question is 214 so that leads to www.uutforsket.no/214. You get the letter E and leads to Playstation norways facebook page.
If you go to the facebook page you get this link: www.uutforsket.no/koordinat.. which are some coordinates for akershus festning.
You need to find out the coplour of the bricks og the Fortress.. so you go to www.uutforsket.no/rød (that is norwegian for RED).
Again there is a movie and the letter E and some mirrored hints that leads to.. http://uutforsket.no/detsistesporet/

here they teel you to make a word out of the letters you found and type it at the end of the website.. www.uutforsket.no/ and then the word.. But I only found 3 letters K E E .. I must have missed some letters.. unless you kan make a norwegian word out of these letters..

I think the sound clip found here (Soundcloud.com/uutforsket) also has a hidden letter in it, but I don't know how to reverse the audio and I don't know Norwegian...

And if we don't forget the picture found here Vimeo.com/uutforsket, we get a new letter which is A.

But the game is not even started yet, so we are probably doing the quest in disorder and missing many other clues to get the final Norwegian word...

[Endo Punk]

Been working on Crushing difficulty for the past few days. All pretty standard apart from a few difficulty spikes, especially in the shipyard stage. Also I have a question, been trying rolling ammo master and even when I have done 20 in a row I still didn't get the trophy, though my counting was probably off. And this one is definitely the most frustrating. Most of the time I roll Drake just sticks behind cover. At the final stretch now, inside the brass city, just want to know can I still achieve 20 roll ammo trophy or is it too late?

I haven't played the MP in weeks but the new map pack coming and the fixes should entice me to go back. Co-op on the other hand is thoroughly entertaining and with the shade missions Im firmly addicted. Max level but there is no chance for me to beat crushing adventure and get the star, just not a team player or at least with anons I can't talk to.

You can do it anywhere. Just kill an enemy somewhere where there's no cover. Then pick up his gun while rolling, then pick up your old gun while rolling, then pick up his gun.... etc. You can also chapter select any combat heavy chapter on very easy and do this.

Cool, but it looks like the audio clip on Soundcloud.com/Eutforsket was updated today (about 2 hours ago)...

What was changed in the file?

Also can you write in Norwegian what you are hearing?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The QR Code here http://uutforsket.no/detsistesporet is saying:
Siste bokstav er: K
Last letter is: K

So now we have:

A ? K ? E ? E ? K ?

[Hanmik]

the answer to the soundcloud for uutforsket.no was

I didn´t find it.. I just guessed.. I put the letters through a norwegian Anagram maker, and it came up with avdekke (that is norwegian for uncover) andI just put 2 and 2 together and saw that a T was missing to make the word avdekket (uncovered)

I had fun doing it..

Guys, have you noticed that the #1 player in the UC3 MP money leaderboards is a cheater? Misaki_Takahashi has 3233 Rampants...

Yeah, I have noticed. He wasn't number 1 before, but his boosting technique or whatever he uses made him move up WAY too quickly. I personally don't care that much, but it does suck that this guy cheats just to be on the top. And the thing is that I have played with this person before and he wasn't really good to have those rampants. He probably has multiple PS3's to achieve that lol. Regardless, the leaderboards on this game are a joke because most of them are fake so I really don't care if he keeps doing it.

He has bought 3 consoles, 3 discs, 3 TVs, 6 controllers and he boosts in 3TDM splitscreen.

[SweetTeddie]

I wouldn't get rid of add boosters and kickbacks etc. Just remove a couple layers to make it less challenging to balance. I think weapon mods are pretty cool, and if you're going to play the game for 100's of hours it's nice to be able to change things up and switch loadouts. Probably the best meta-game ND added to UC3's MP is leveling up boosters, it really makes you play differently at times. Treasures are awesome too for this. Personally, I hope next time they don't release so much skin DLC which makes earning stuff through the game meaningless. Also don't make ALL the costumes linked to treasures, just the ultra-rare stuff.

Just started & I'm enjoying the multiplayer, but any specific unlocks/weapons to aim for over others?

[subversus]

nobody plays it in multiplayer anymore as I understand

edit: it seems that somebody does. Why can't I find any games then?

[iLLmAtlc]

Damn guys is it just me or are specific Arena treasures the toughest to get in the whole game? I know Hardcore is tough, but at least in that mode the games are short and you have potential to get a treasure or 2 every few games. In Arena though, you have to spend 25-30 minutes to do one game and you will be lucky to get 2-3 treasures after doing it. I've been after Flynn's Bandit Mask and so far I only have one piece (the Incan Head thing).

PS I'm still looking for more people to farm the Chateau using that trick:

Please leave a message if you're interested.

[hao chi]

G-MAL is amazing for most maps - just make sure to abuse the zoom feature.

The AK and M9 are good choices for more close-range maps like Chateau; between the two, most people use the M9, but I prefer Drake's AK after getting used to the recoil.

Fleet Foot or Cloaked are good slot 1 boosters, but you should use Beast Mode if you intend on running the treasure idol in Plunder a lot.

Bargain is probably the best slot 2 booster. Daredevil is also very nice. Back in the Saddle is great for Team Objectives and Plunder.

The Shotgun Kickback is really useful because of how easy it is to use (jump and shoot twice for an easy kill, since jumping adds a ridiculous amount of accuracy, or if you aim with L1 it has surprisingly good range). You can also shoot once and melee if you're feeling greedy, and it's easy to get quite a few medals towards your next Kickback.

My favorite Kickback is Sniper, but it's also one of the easier Kickbacks to waste if you use it at the wrong time or just end up missing most of your shots. Nothing feels better than hitting all 5 shots with a Sniper Kickback though.

Really? I play alone most of the time and today I got the new maps from flashback pack #2 like 5 times in a row. I'm actually surprised. This was in Team Deathmatch though. I don't have much luck getting the new maps in Team Objective... :(

It's odd that you can't find any games. What playlists are you trying to play? I find matches relatively quickly.

Hardcore treasures are annoying because of Just Cash, but Arena treasures are infuriating because of fucking constant duplicates. I will say this, if you play regular arena on Crushing difficulty, you have more chances of getting treasure drops. For me, it doesn't really matter if I get over 10 treasure drops in an arena match because rare treasures will NEVER drop (surprise, they're all duplicates). The rare treasure drop rate is so ridiculously low that I had to resort to playing Hunter to unlock most of my treasure sets.

The Chateau farming thing I've tried once...for 40 minutes. It was a waste of my time. I don't have the patience to do it and I just find it so boring. I'd rather just play fairly and try my chances there.

Just started & I'm enjoying the multiplayer, but any specific unlocks/weapons to aim for over others?

My advice:

1) Learn the maps and where the power weapons are at. Learning the maps and seeing where the majority of gun fights takes place is crucial.
2) Always move your camera to look at your surroundings.
3) Listen! Listen to where the guns are coming from! Where characters grunt! Always listen because it'll give you a heads up.
4) Pay attention to call outs. You know those moving red cursors you'll sometimes see around maps? Well, that's because one of your team mates are calling someone out. Get 'em!
5) Experiment with ALL weapons and weapon mods. I will say that Call Out is a great weapon mod that will really help your team. It calls out your enemies to your team so they know their location for a brief period of time.

For weapon unlocks, I think most of them are pretty good. All of the M9's (Flynn's (Clip Size + Blindfire Accuracy), Marlowe's (Max Ammo + Reload Speed) and Chloe's (Scope Zoom, Call Out, Reload Speed) are great for what they do and have great mods. The only issue I have is Chloe's because you'll run out of ammo quickly. My favorite out of the three is Flynn's.

AK: Try going for Eddy's AK found in Hardcore. It has Scope Zoom (REALLY helpful mod), Call Out, and Clip Size (another great mod for this gun). Next best AK is Drake's which has blindfire accuracy and reload speed. If you don't have any of these, you can always rock a regular AK with the accuracy mod which helps A LOT. Since this weapon is infamous for having recoil that is random, my suggestion is that when you aim the AK, you always scope in.

G-MAL: Elena's (Clip Size, Reload Speed, Call Out) is the best G-MAL in the entire game. All of those mods are fantastic and is found in Team Objective. Second best G-MAL is Flynn's (Clip Size + Max Ammo). Don't bother with Roman's G-MAL because it has the most worthless mods ever (Blindfire Accuracy + Reload Speed). You don't really need an accuracy mod for it because it is already easy enough to aim. Like the above poster mentioned, when you aim the G-MAL, make sure you are scoped in for the best results. If you're aiming the G-MAL without being scoped in, you are doing it wrong. This weapon has the most stopping power so with one burst, you'll slow down your opponent to a crawl. Another thing is that it kills in two bursts, if you aim at the chest/head. Otherwise, it'll take three bursts to kill someone. Don't get too attached to its stopping power as Naughty Dog is addressing this issue.

FAL-SS: Best FAL in the game IMO is Talbot's (Call Out, Clip Size, Reload Speed) and is found in Hardcore. However, many people have a hard time unlocking it because the last treasure drop is extremely rare. I unlocked it with ease, so your mileage will vary. It takes four shots to kill someone if you're aiming at the head. Otherwise, it takes five or six shots in the body. Contrary to popular belief, this gun is still pretty powerful after the 'nerf'. The reason why the online community migrated over the G-MAL right now is because the problem with the FAL-SS is that it is sometimes inconsistent because it will jam up on you and will fire slowly, kind of like with the Para9 pistol. Otherwise, it's still deadly in the right hands. If you can't unlock Talbot's, Eddy's FAL-SS (Clip Size + Max Ammo) is the next best one and that is found in Free For All.

Dragon Sniper: Most people don't use this gun because it automatically scopes in, putting you at a major disadvantage in close quarter combat. When you are aiming at someone who is running, the cursor will move so slowly which makes it hard to follow running targets. It takes two body shots to kill someone and only one shot to the head for a headshot. My favorite of the weapon unlocks is Sully's (Call Out + Max Ammo), but the majority of the online community prefer Draza's (Reload Speed + Clip Size).

Don't get too accustomed to one weapon. Try them all and master them.

Edit: forgot the KAL-7 :lol

Um...Lazarevic's is the best (Blindfire Accuracy, Max Ammo) followed by Ramese's (Reload Speed + Clip Size). Only use this weapon when you're playing on small maps or on objectives playlists like Plunder because it will shine there. Long range maps? Forget about it.

For boosters...use what fits your playstyle and the playlists you are going to be playing in.

So jumped back in to multi tonight. Haven't played in like a month. Actually got to play Village in Team Objective which was nice. I have settled in with the M9 for now. Been using rate of fire, but might change to the Jade or... um... the other one I have. Was using the FAL, but more because I had to before. Did better than I thought I would after not playing for so long. Was a little afraid to jump back into Deathmatch, but will next time.

[hao chi]

Hey Rewrite, I doubt you remember me, but we've played against each other quite a few times in Team Objectives (at least 4 or 5 times). It seemed like every other week I would get matched against you again.

Hey Rewrite, I doubt you remember me, but we've played against each other quite a few times in Team Objectives (at least 4 or 5 times). I've probably been matched against you more than anybody else on PSN (not counting my party being split up).

lol I KNEW I recognized that name. I remember you. ;)

I'm not surprised. Team Objective is the best and since the player pool ain't that big, we're bound to keep bumping into each other. I used to always run into another GAFFer here (Mr. Benjiman!!), but I haven't bumped into him lately. I just hope you haven't heard me rage talk to my team mates who'll sometimes not do the objective. It sucks playing with randoms sometimes. lol

[hao chi]

I don't really remember you raging, but I tend to abuse the mute all feature. :D

I know you won at least one of the matches (our last one), but for some of the other ones I remember you getting some pretty awful teams, and I usually play in at least a small party (usually with some pretty good players, and I think a few times we played I was in a full party), so some raging is understandable lol. God knows I can't avoid raging about some of the morons that venture into Team Objectives...

I read that thread a few days ago, and I believe we should definitely have more customization options.

More options for hats, glasses, etc. I really hope there's a customization patch in the near future.

Co-op Hunter Arena is the worse. I've been trying to get Drake's cap, and it's such a pain. I've played quite a bit of plain Co-op Arena, and never got the last statue. So, I figured I have to get the last one in Co-op Hunter Arena. I was so happy when I thought I had got it, but it was just a statue that I've retrieved in Co-op Arena. Something really needs to be done about that, for sure.
