Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

Anyone else put off by the great graphics? I can't really concentrate.

With the sun behind me in Airfield I was constantly shooting at my shadow projected onto other buildings. It's too crisp!

Why does that matter? You just need to download the beta. No one is going to delete it from your system.

Thought beta access only ran contemporaneously with PS+, which I don't intend to continue. Thanks for correcting my misapprehensions.

Me too.

I've been going nuts playing Hardcore. Only way for me. Though I should definitely try the other competitive modes out. Not sure how much I like the co-op compared to UC2. Overall, game feels great to me; I haven't really noticed the slow control issues, other than down-scope aiming.

The contrast is crazy in this game though.

That is nice but I actually wished the emblem editor would be more robust. At least I would like to move the different layers not just rotate and resize them. maybe I am just spoiled from Blops but I kinda expected it to be more like that.

Nah, at some point they will even open it up to everyone so you don't have to worry about anything.
 
So I finally got into a game, I kind of like it is a bit slower paced than UC2. I guess all stats will be reset once beta is over.
 
Installing the beta now. Will play it with a friend of mine tonight. We enjoyed Uncharted 2's multiplayer quite a bit. Came as a surprise. Hope Uncharted 3 is just as good.
 
Does anyone have any tips for the opening of the airfield as the villain team (since I seem to end up as them most times)? Is it worth going for the side entrances, or just camp out in the trucks?

You don't aim in close quarters, ever. You blindfire the Uzi and circle around the guy. Maybe throw in a punch after half a clip is gone. Done.

I always go for two punches and end up with us both dead, unless other dude has a Pistole or shotgun D:
 
So I just bought a slim due to my 60gb ps3 dieing, (which had a year worth of ps+ on it, could never get it back on long enough to deactivate my accounts :( ) and of course no welcome back for me either. Anyone have a spare code? Would greatly appreciate it Gaf! :)

Rush towards the side entrances, throw a grenade inside and jump in. With a bit of luck you'll have killed the person guarding it and made your way in. I managed a whopping 5/1 KDR in that part earlier.

I use jett's tactics (hence my endless collection of Fisticuffs medals). It's very effective in 1 vs. 1 encounters.

Why does my PS3 beep 3 times and restart every time I exit the game?

shits becoming annoying.


My PS3 also restarted 3 times at the patching screen, the third time I was about to get up and go to bed, instead I left it sitting on the screen and made a coffee, came back, accepted and it worked. Then I read that it stops being a problem if you wait 20 seconds. It's a really strange bug.

Love the new approach to multi, played a bit of all the different modes, my favourites are the buddy deathmatch and Horde. It's 5 am now. Lots of fun :) Really solid netcode, playing early morning from NZ with no noticeable lag!

Yeah same here... I had one total in-game freezeup last night too, but other than that, everything was really fun!

All that being said, I didn't think that any of the bugs are anything too surprising for the first 24 hours of any given much-anticipated console beta in 2011.
 
The lack of voices is really weird, I've only heard one character say something. Just doesn't feel like U2 MP without all the voices!

Also no BBQ medals either - you can't pick up and throw the propane tanks like in U2, right?

I like the buddy system (the HUD still needs some work) and the emblem on the map is a nice touch.

Last thing ND wants is penis's squirting cum all over the map.
 
I prefer U2.

The maps in this game are too big and I prefered the symmetrical design in U2. Also I don't like the loudout system.

I seem to be losing interest in MP games by the day. And it's reasons like this why. Making unnecessary changes to an already solid game.
 
Played about 5 games no problems except when I went to quit the game at the plane crash menu screen it restarted my Slim.

I have an Infamous 2 code for this I didn't use if anyone wants it just msg me.

Yeah, I'm going to have to try and get in a mindset to do that. Normally I freakout during close quarters, lol
 
I LOVE the shadows in Airfield, many times the shadows have warned me to the proximity of an enemy. I see what ND was going for with that map. I really like both maps now.

lolz you should play more. Both maps are of the same size as UC2's, you just don't know em yet. :P

Not that the game is bad - I like it besides the increased scale. I find myself running like a headless chicken too my times though. This wasn't an issue in U2. But that might have something to do with it I guess. Probably will need to learn the maps.

My only real beef is the power plays. Kinda wish they just wouldn't be there.
