I was in that game. I was not happy. Haha.

Finally completed a treasure set and got a bunch more matches in all modes in today. Just need to do some more co-op and hit 25 to complete the bonus challenges.

Haha. I was trolling hard tonight. There was a game where a guys PSN was Cowboysfan or something like that and I kept talking shit about how bad they are everytime I'd go taunt his dead body.

The game is a lot of fun when you play with friends and the bull shit deaths like a grenade across the entire map or a melee from 30 feet hits you.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Please have hardcore plunder. Please have hardcore plunder. Etc etc.

Damn man, you're so awesome.

 

[zlatko]

Damn man, you're so awesome.

Talking smack online is the best part of online games. I seriously wish party chat never had come for 360, because of how much less involved games feel without people running their gums. On 360 I made like 3 buddies a month playing Gears of War 1 back in the day when you jump into games talking dumb shit for giggles and to get in the other teams head.

Sure some people take it too seriously and can't handle a little tongue in cheek potty humor, but that's what mute options are there for.

Speaking of which, how do I mute someone on my team in game in UC3? It sucks when there is a little kid yelling or someone playing music. ; ;

 

[Haint]

probably: Sony decided to push 3d which leads to tradeoffs in 2d if they aren't going to down res

Haven't been following previews or interviews or anything, but are they claiming or aiming for 720p 3D?

 

[Gr1mLock]

One big criticism i have. Up close..this game is a mess. The mobility is laughable. If you're getting shot in the back that's prettymuch all she wrote. Its like im swimming in damn apple sauce. Why is everything so long winded? can i roll without having to jog for fifteen minutes after to 'recover'.

Press Select to bring up the leaderboard, use the D-pad to highlight the name of the person you want to mute, and press X.

Hm weird. I swear I tried that and it wasn't going over to the names. Thank you.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

I hope level 3 weapons expert it something good because getting those triple threat medals is not easy. Level 3 Daredevil was really disappointing.

You get two mod slots for the rifles.

Mal with Accuracy and Call Out.

 

[zlatko]

What does level 3 daredevil do ?

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Even more ammo...

 

[zlatko]

Even more ammo...

WTF? What does level 2 do? That sounds awful. I might have to just pick something else in that slot.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Level 2 gets you ammo and a grenade.

 

[zlatko]

Level 2 gets you ammo and a grenade.

Oooh grenade is nice. Hmmm. Is there a link yet to what each does at level 2 and 3 ?

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Hmm, not sure. I do know that level 2 Weapons Expert makes you instantly switch to your other gun when aiming and tapping triangle.

Still a WIP, but they seem to have most of the stuff down: http://uncharted.wikia.com/wiki/Uncharted_3:_Drake's_Deception_multiplayer_beta

Awesome. Bargain level 3 is pretty sexy if you couple it with smoke. That'd make it only 5 to be able to start teleporting around, and the 3 from a chest makes it super easy to have that kick back fast.

 

[LaneDS]

Press Select to bring up the leaderboard, use the D-pad to highlight the name of the person you want to mute, and press X.

This reminds me of a problem the game has currently: sometimes (all the time?) when I've got a kickback ready to go and I am navigating menus (usually in co-op arena between rounds) pressing up to go through the names on the list will also burn your kickback.

That, and not prioritizing throwing back a grenade with triangle over picking up a weapon on the ground are two things that I hope are resolved before November. The grenade throwback thing especially.

[Fratkabula]

This games feels special. The last time it clicked this much, was only in cod 4.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Thanks Rewrite for the complete domination in Three TDM. First games I actually played in that playlist. Highlight for me was in one of the early matches on Airstrip, we both saw a guy in front of the center warehouse and instantly put him down with one perfectly placed G-MAL burst each. That, and the failed brofist on top of the Airstrip container

Definitely. It is a problem and I also keep accidentally muting my friends too.

Good games tonight Xtortion! We didn't lose a single match! Hahaha!

Don't forget my grenade throw on top of the warehouse too killing that guy who was camping and destroying the building. So goood. We worked fantastic as a team.

 

[Shadow of the BEAST]

You know what this game needs?

Some sort of minigame you can play while you are waiting to connect to a game. Like ridge racer on psx.

Give me a simple shmup or arkanoid clone or something.

Or y'know, just connect faster.

I'm hard pressed to figure out what the game is doing when all 10 slots say "PLAYER FOUND" but I'm still waiting 3 more minutes before the match starts. Then even after everyone's names appear, there's ANOTHER wait before voting as if people didn't have enough time to fix their crap already.

It's funny how every game tries to incorporate stuff from Call of Duty except one of the features they do best- lightning quick matchmaking.

There's a cost to having great animation and that's it. The rolls, climbing, running, hurdling, etc., etc. all have to look natural and realistic. Uncharted is ALREADY pushing how quickly these character respond to stuff like running in the opposite direction from a full stop to the point that the game would look extremely weird if frames were cut out.

 

[The Xtortionist]

And it makes no sense why the game seems to drop everyone after a match concludes, only to make a new game minutes later with the same people. There's no reason why it shouldn't start a new voting countdown right after returning to the menu.

YES. I can't even count how many I've said "Gotdamn everyone dropped, now I have to wait for a new set of dudes" only to find the same guys in the next match. The matchmaking process has got to be streamlined.

ND, trust me when I say NOBODY will be angry that the game cut them off before fixing their loadouts or the color of their hats, more so in Hardcore where loadouts shouldn't even matter. Connect people faster, 30 seconds of vote/preparation time, then start loading the map. If your fancy "show off the characters" menu system is slowing it down, cut it out or change it.

...

It's 6:06 AM. I have been working on this thing for the last 30 minutes while recovering my hearing slowly from the Paul Van Dyk concert. How I even can draw such a masterpiece at this ungodly hour is beyond me.
I decided to draw my favorite moment (as I remember it) from the Airfield map in the beta. The enemy in orange takes leap of faith while he still had that green aurora from his kickback in mid air. His brain is spattered though due to my amazing mid-air headshot from the grey tower. I'm the little dude on the far right of the tower thingy. Pay close attention to my beautiful emblem which I'm quite proud of. Happy blood face ninja (looks really good in the beta). Notice the realistic skybox with different shades of blue and white fluffy clouds. I've also put great detail on other finer things like barrels and such, much love.

Good night.

thanks a lot sir you're a true gentleman and a scholar! the first two requisites (complete X number of matches) grant rewards only for the beta right? or do they carry to retail? the other two I've already done and surpassed (10+ treasure sets and level 32).

No problem at all, you're very welcome.
Nah, they grant rewards for the retail title only. But yeah, goal is to get all those here to. But 10 FFA matches. Bleurgh.

Otherwise, I just need 1 more treasure to get my 4th complete set. Need to find the last Pisces. I want a fishinghat!

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Didn't like the game for the first couple of matches, the pace seemed weird and my whole team was being wiped out consistanly.

After a little practice and some free for all, I was making headshots and collecting treasure, won a FFA match. Yay! Then won a very close team deathmatch and did my first buddy fist-bump. I'm starting to really like this game, but I'm worried the slower first impression might put off the COD players that ND are trying to attract. Although that may be a good thing for the game's community... I'll be there as soon as I finish Single player on the retail release.

Where from? Sounds like your ISP isn't playing nice with downloading the beta. Took me less than 30 minutes.

Please add me guys, level 28 here.

I've always had some issues with PSN, XBL has been great for DL though.

 

[CozMick]

Corrupted downloads are usually caused by a slow wireless connection. Maybe try wired?

If you're wired, then I'm stumped.

 

[Drac]

Are you supposed to get a message or something once you fulfill one those conditions ? I'm pretty sure I did 10 matches in every modes but got nothing.

Anyway I'm usually not a fan of multiplayer, I played this beta mainly to see how the game looks in 3d and well, after some difficult first matches, I'm now up to level 22 and loving it. The front melee is bullshit and I'm part of the problem on the health (I don't want one shot kill but we seriously have too much health, I wonder how i survive some situations sometimes) but the rest feels good and solid to me. Seeing how much fun I'm having on only two maps, I guess I'll make it worth my time and get everything I can from the beta

 

[CozMick]

Nope, you're gonna have to count old skool

 

[Drac]

ok that reassuring then I don't want to touch Free for All again, coop and 3 teams death match all the way now !

 

[subversus]

I decided to give MP another chance.

Well, it's not as bad as it seemed to me. It just requires more skill, patience and strategic thinking than Uncharted. It feels almost like a competitive game. One match and I'm dead tired. But it's rewarding at the same time.

 

[Willeth]

Someone on another forum posted something he ran into with split-screen and I thought I'd cross-post it here where it has a chance of being noticed by a few more folks:

--

Has anyone other than me used the split-screen mode much? I have been playing alot of this beta with my cousin on the same PS3/TV using the sign in second profile thing. I played a few rounds with my brother then when he was done we signed him out and signed in my cousin. My cousin's PSN name appeared as the second profile fine but it was my brother's character and Emblem instead of hers. I figured we found our first bug ,not properly clearing data for a second profile when signing them out. We decide to quit out and switch local profiles (the ones on my PS3) and sign me in as the second player. Crap thing was my cousin had to remake her character and emblem because she still had my brother's for some reason.

tldr; when switch to a different second PSN account for split-screen the first PSN account character and Emblem data may hang around and overwrite the next split-screen partner

 

[madmaxx350]

does anybody have the schedule for the new gametypes ?

In the OP, under Game Modes.

 

[CozMick]

Complete 5 matches in every mode of Co-operative Multiplayer and receive the Exclusive Beta Decal Pack 2!

I still don't quite understand this, does it mean reach level 10 5 times or just play 5 games until the game has ended?
