Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

thuway said:
My PSN username is thuway2, I'm officially Level 17 and am starting to get either 1st or 2nd place in most of my matches.

These are my revised opinions:

* ND needs to make the game feel less clunky.

- The speed of the game has to increase. People have gotten used to the slowed down pace, but quite honestly, most people will be turned off by it. Increasing the speed a bit while keeping the sprint button can be a viable option.

- Figure a way to map the sprint button to a button other than R3. Clicking R3 after 15 minutes makes my thumbs feel miserable.

Fast how? You mean CoD/most current FPS games fast? If yes, DO NOT WANT! It already feels faster than UC2 and I thought UC2 was just perfect for a TPS game.

We must not be playing the same game.
 
Yesterday I was playing regular Team Deathmatch on the Airstrip with another party who was destroyed in the previous game. They forgot to back out and the match started. As it started, one of them began to quit after another and I must have been forced to see the intro cutscene about five times. It was hilarious. Plane sequence, character gets into cover in cutscene, black screen, plane sequence character gets into cover...rinse and repeat. :lol

I also managed to get that medal that requires you to get a kill with every bullet of the T-bolt Sniper. Sooo gooood.

I love the Cluster Bomb. It's my favorite kickback. <3

One thing I'll say that has annoyed me is when Powerplays kick in near the end of the match where the score is ridiculously close towards winning. It's bullshit that we're in the lead by five points and a Powerplay kicks in and we end up losing the match because of it. It just feels like a really cheap win for the other team. I've actually joined a game in progress with a Powerplay (it was Marked Man) active towards the end where my team were behind a few points...I joined the match and killed the Marked Man 3 times and won the match. The other team was so pissed. I would be too.

Someone also killed me while I used the Creeper Crawler kickback too..don't know how that person did it because there was no grenade, but it is possible to kill the swarm of bugs!
 
Played a few matches last night and I noticed I started using the sprint quite a bit. It does make the game move faster. I don't like the camera getting closer to character when you sprint but I guess ND wanted to put in some sort of disadvantage when you sprint.

Anyway, I hope ND updates their gametypes pretty soon and maybe add a new map?
 
I must be mistaken then, it's been a while since I played UC2 MP. I do agree that UC2 controls were just perfect, they shouldn't have messed with that.

Smokebomb is by far my favourite kickback. Cheap, evades death in 90% of cases and allows you to keep linking kills up and earn highly rewarding streak medals.

I just used this in Three team deathmatch. Got cornered on Chateau, threw down the smoke, and spawned just behind the enemy team that had cornered me. The kills I got from them ended the round, to add insult to injury. I can't imagine it stays like this.

So cheap. So fun.

Do they intend to allow us to try the Syria/Middle-eastern map in the beta?

You mean, Yemen? It's supposed to be in the last week of the beta. Some got to play it even earlier because it was accidentally unlocked when FFA was added. They removed it shortly after.

free for all is still there?

Would like to know this too.

Ah alright, thanks. It looks pretty fun, can't wait to try it out.

Nice, but what are the modes?

Saw chain reaction, king of the hill, deathmatch, territory


Yeah, Hunter isn't so hot, though the idea of it sounded neat. Maybe just gotta play it with friends.

Can you elaborate on how it feels fast to you?

Eh, Chain Reaction and King of The Hill again? :/

Thanks for the response.
 
do we have to play 10 matches of team objective to get those extra goodies when the game comes out or was it just the original game modes?
 
reKon said:
just played 1 round of hunter, ok this mode is awesome.

My partner didn't capture any treasures when we were heroes and when we became baddies, the other team quit cause we were owning them. lol.
 
Played 3 games of Hunter and it seems that most people just ignore the objective and use it as a chance to rack up kills/medals. Not fun at all :/

i got lucky with the people I was playing with. The mode is great when people do the objectives. ND is going to have to tweak what you get for kills though so prevent abuse

Yeah, there is no reward for scoring objectives. If they fix the scoring, it should be a good mode imo.
 
Damn. Figured I'd try one of the new modes, and lo and behold, I get paired against an entire team made up of GAF'ers. Wasn't a very fun game, I can assure you :(

Interview on IGN about the beta

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1180460p1.html

One surprising thing is that 600k unique users played the beta.

I'm not sure if thats a good number or not. 600k is a fuckton. But also, this beta was pretty much available tens of millions.

What's funny about that is - I really get the feeling a lot of people don't really know about the Welcome Back program - based just anecdotal things like the the number of codes that were handed out during the past week, the number of codes I've been asked for, etc.
 
I've gotten use to this slower speed. I mean the speed seems fine since I'm spending half the time jumping and leaping around places, especially in Hunter mode when I'm playing as the people preventing them from getting treasures. I didn't really feel slow when I was moving around like that.
 
BeeDog said:
Not really, no. As soon as the enemy can be seen on-screen, I press L1 and adjust accordingly.

Interesting... I know there have been a lot of complaints about the sluggishness of aiming, but I wasn't sure if people were aiming like I do or if they were staying down the sights the entire time.

I can say I have never really felt hampered by slow turning speed or so. I feel like it's the recoil bobbing that does me in in duels instead of the actual aiming.

When are we getting Plunder back arne?
 
I wonder how do they look up for the best plays of the week.
Do they search the kill logs for several kills by the same player in a short lapse?

If they do it weekly. Oh man the trailer editor is going to have a lot of work after release!

Did any GAF'er end up in that video?
