Uncharted 3 Map Packs now Free + Patch + Reddit AMA

I loved UC2 MP and I was pretty dang good, but when I got UC3 I just got my ass whooped lol. I'll definitely try it out again though now that I can have all the maps :D
 
I really enjoyed the purity of UC2..no cluster grenades, no turning into spiders, just straight forward shooting. I remember there being a 'hardcore' mode that was like that in UC3 but it wasn't a very active playlist. People love their spiders.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid, the community asked for the Classic Playlist but hardly anyone (that is, the people who actually somehow *like* the abusive shit) plays it =\.
 
Nerfing powerplays and removing deathmatch from TO (what a horrible way to determine the outcome of matches that was) sounds fantastic. Heck, most everything about this update sounds fantastic. Maybe time for U2 GAF to give this a second chance?

You have my rifle!

Because most people like the shit they claim to hate. They hate it when it kills them. They like it when gets them kills. And when it's not there at all, there's less to blame, and it's less exciting.

Sprinting, grenade throwbacks, boosters, gun mods, kickbacks, buddy spawning. This stuff is just the flavor of UC3. It's much faster paced than UC2. And UC3 was designed to have all this stuff. Classic mode tried to pick and choose what would stay and what would go to make it more like UC2 but it it just doesn't work like that. It's all or nothing.

And for what it's worth, most of these changes seem pretty good. Lack of gun variety is currently a huge problem in UC3, as most everyone settles on M9 or Dragon Sniper, but this patch should alleviate this issue and bring more playstyles back into the fold.
 
The multiplayer must be pretty popular if they're still issuing out balance patches and new content for it. Haven't tried it since the beta, but maybe I'll give it another shot.
 
Well, doing well in Uncharted 2's MP certainly relied more on skills than UC3, but that can be a turn off for people.

It actually reminded me of SOCOM when I first played it. In fact, a good number of my friends who I played SOCOM II and CA with back on the PS2 would play the Elimination gamemode of UC2 constantly for over a year.
 
Is for the full game also.

Go to the Store in the multiplayer mode.

SCEE regions have to wait to tomorrow.

Ok Cheers bro :)

Havent play U3 MP since launch month, this is a really nice suprise from ND, wish more companies would follow suit on DLC maps being free eventually passed a year.
 
This is what i get for paying for a season pass 2 years ago XD, naw U3 season pass was worth since i enjoyed the multiplayer and im glad to see ND still supporting the Multiplayer
 
I am not even that into UC MP but god I wish more developers thought like this.

I am absolutely ok with developers selling map packs in the first year or so. After that, MP DLC should always go free. It helps keeps the community alive and strong instead of fractured between have and have nots.
 
What's the health like in U3 ? Is it closer to what U2 was before they fucked it up or after ?

After. Add in sprint.

Too little, too late for me. I knew they were going to do it after Uncharted 2, but the F2P not grandfathering in paid-for online-pass players and removing the online pass from the store to get people to buy a F2P pass for both is just stupid.
 
Kinda late but the thread didn't get alot of attention but I got a question...

What's the difference with these skins? Can the Drake one (the more expensive one) be used with other modes or something...? Cause mine is already unlocked without purchasing it?

Suited Drake is unlockable in game, but it's available to purchase for early access. The Flynn skin is DLC. I don't recommend buying ANY of the DLC that you can easily unlock in the multiplayer just by leveling up and using your in-game cash.

Kinda what I figured but wasn't really sure! Thanks for the reply!
 

Because, combined with the mobility options of the game, you actually have to plan to get kills (and can escape with quick thinking), rather than just getting free points because someone ran in front of your vision. That also has the effect of making matches dynamic and action-packed in general, because you don't need to camp and can make use of the full geometry of the map.

Now I've heard that the health here is closer to pre-patch Uncharted 2, and that classic mode exists to remove some of the mechanical bloat, maybe I'll give this a shot...
 
Wow, first time I've seen these patch notes and I haven't played UC3 for ages. They seriously upped the recoil on the M9 and reduced it on the FAL-SS? Geez, what a joke. Glad I don't play MP anymore after hearing that. Might play some coop soon though, that was always fun.
 
Didn't want to make a thread so I figured I'd ask here.

If I download the PS Plus digital version of Uncharted 3, will it add another set of trophies a la the shitfuck Singstar app?
