Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

The smoke bomb is insane.
With 7 medals you get a smoke bomb that allows you to respawn elsewhere... and leaves you with 6/7 medals, meaning you'll only need one more medal to use it again. And again. And again.

I expect everyone to start using them very shortly.

error, authentication failed

same...

I guess ill have to re-DL later tonight :( got some good matches in this morning
 
How do you go in and view treasure sets? I've got a few now and wanna go view my stash. :)

Oh and Airstrip needs a lot of tuning, especially the first part, its just not much fun the way it is now.
 
The beta is awesome, but the game won't stop disconnecting, and freezing on me. Error authentication message is popping up again. >:[

Seriously what the hell is going on.

Either they are trying to prevent us from connecting or their servers are in trouble.

Seems like I'm getting my day 3 impressions within the 1st few hours and a lot of the stuff I'm hearing confirms my fears about the game. (SO FAR)

I'm wondering if health will start to seem much lower when ppl start leveling up. Nowadays, its like the more the community plays...the less health everyone has because of all the boosters/upgrades/mods/etc that you obtain.

Gah,
This sounds like just what I figured it would be. A fun multiplayer that I wont care to stick around for. It'll be fun at 1st and the wow factor will be there but when that point comes when I want to start playing competitively....I'll be disappointed to no end. TDM 5v5 sounds like a big clusterfuck so far and people havent even gotten all the booster/etc yet. Hell they dont even have all of the boosters/kickbacks/powerplays in this beta and it's already sounding like a clusterfuck.

Im looking forward to hearing more impressions about the changes/additions. They dont sound too hot so far.

Health seems pretty decent. Definitely more than in UC2. I wish they hadn't messed with the controls, is all. I'm having fun though, that's for sure. Or maybe it's destroying Uncharted newbies that is making the game fun. :P

Carrying only 1 grenade by default is really lame though.
 
Got to try a quick game before heading to work (thanks again Hanmik)..
Pretty damn fun by myself. Can't wait to get some friends together and play, especially if there's split screen.. Might even try that tomorrow.

I'm still getting used to the sensitivity and the buttons. It does feel like a lot to process at first, but I'm sure I'll get used to all the controls after a couple more games.
I ended up going 10:8, helping a few teammates in a couple battles and even got a couple double kills.

What's this about people not wanting to see ratios? I didn't see any kill stealing/camping so why should it matter?

Everyone is using melee at random times, haha.

The sprint feels clunky as hell to me, doesn't give you a lot of control, and you need to reclick the stick in to stop on a whim. I've gotten "stuck" in it a few times which lead to me dying in an annoying fashion.
 
Wow I'm finding the coop really boring, death match is horrible and certain kickbacks are really overpowered. When trying to play a team death match a blank screen came up and did not know what was going on so randomly started shooting, next thing I'm kicked out due to killing team mates. No idea what's going on with this game but not liking what I've played so far, yes it's a beta but can't seen ND making too many changes up until release. Felt the same with brink when I played that last year and was right. :(
 
lol the cursed powerplay is funny, killed 2 teammates , loving the changes ND but its wierd under the friends list you don't know who is playing UC3
 
Whose PSN here is Somnium986 (or something like that).

Gray-Fillabuster here. We played a match on airstrip. Never heard so much whining. No offense dude, but everytime I killed you, I heard you on your mic talking shit about how I killed you. I wanted to tell you to STFU, but I was too lazy to put on my mic. Not sure if you thought I was cheating or something.

Unless I was mistaken somehow.
 
Finished a game of plunder and my ps3 didn't freeze, shocking! I never even saw the result screen to this point, the game hasn't given me a single piece of treasure until now because of that crap.
 
This is one of the most frustrating betas I have played in a long time (worse then the Socom Confrontation beta).

The gunplay is meh, guns don't kill fast enough, sensitivity is shocking low even at the max, the choice of guns is low and none of the suit the levels (close combat is awful, sniper is useless due to incredible zoom level, pistols rarely get used).

The graphics are great, animations are fluid, maps are well enough designed except the start of Airfield which is great on paper but annoying in action.

Hopefully they will increase the damage of the guns (also add some more and fix the sniper), make the quick grenade throw a bit less accurate, reduce the number of power plays per match (and remove so of the stupid ones like that skeleton one) and remove the double kill melee-off.

If the do that the game might be less frustrating then it currently is. Will play some more until I get frustrated again but so far I'd rate it 4/10

:/

That's gonna get patched reallllly fast.

Later, I'll just dress in Black, start vanishing over people after I taunt them.
 
The treasure didn't let anyone pick it up on the plunder match I just had on Chateau. Then my game froze again! Fuck it, I'll just try it again later. Really negative on the whole thing so far.
 
Haven't run into any problems myself yet apart from one or two bits of lag but I guess that's to be expected.

I hope they don't increase the bullet damage because the last thing we need is this turning into a third person COD. I man it's well on its way already with all of this crazy shit going on.

Is the beta up to DL yet for USA?
Not yet.

About the shotgun, I have seen only one spawn point in Airstrip (
small office on the second floor of the main building
) and zero in Chateau. Is this correct?
Anyone?

How is it compared to U2 Multiplayer though?

Well I was getting lag and kept spawning near the enemy. I was whining more about your team than you to be honest. Plus I've been having problems with this beta all day, so I wasn't in the best of moods. I knew who you were during the match, but did you seriously just post to whine about me? :D Kinda uncalled for.
 
Teknoman said:

I personally think it's the same. There's glitches and the maps are pretty thin but it's not bad. Co op is pretty monotonous if you ask me, I'm hoping to see something more like the UC2 co-op where you play through a level. This is more of "find the treasure, keep the treasure, don't die". But that's just my opinion.

There's a wall in the Chateau map that you can climb through, so that obviously needs fixed.

My favorite mode so far is 3 team deathmatch.
 
Jocchan said:

Hopefully.

I haven't seen a shotgun on Chateau, just the RPG and pistol. I guess there's a sniper somewhere but I haven't seen where.

Teknoman said:

I loved UC2, it hit an odd sweet spot for me. I dislike evey single change they've done in 3 so far, they added way too much CoD bullshit, and even if you play on the modes without a lot of the new stuff you still deal with weapon mods and such. I NEVER felt so disadvantaged against higher levels in UC2, but now I'm a 5-6 right now and feel like I have no chance against the 15s because of the stuff they have unlocked.

Yeah, the constant freeezes killed the experience for me. I don't know, I might d/l the client from the NA store and hope it somehow fixes the issue.

Upper floor, side corridor. It's leaning on a wall in the middle

Are you people getting crashes using the Facebook feature? If so, try disabling it.

No offense Somnium, but you always bitch about lag. Every time you get killed it's because someone out there was lagging, it seems. :P

Yeah, I don't think you realize how the laggy you were in those GAF games the other night. XD Everyone noticed that you wouldn't die right away.
 
Yeah found where you can view your treasure sets! Woot! For those wondering you need to look under 'Records' from the main menu and then select 'Treasures'. Love this idea btw, I've got a few sets on the go.

plz, everyone is lagging according to you. only pwonager is worse than you.

No, I don't even have a facebook. I get disconnected after the match and when I try to connect again, it freezes halfway through. Must have restarted my PS3 a good dozen times already.
