Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

thuway said:
I do agree with posters who want to eliminate the Sprint Button. Get rid of it altogether and make us a whole lot faster :D.

I think I'd like sprint more if it was a dash, press it once to sprint forward a bit but don't make me hold that button for any longer than that.

I've only used the thing once to test it out. Don't really see the need for it.

But... I saw in the menu, and I replayed my last three matches and changed ilumination and depth of field stuffs... ._.? I mean it's called cinema, even if it isn't fully featured (what it seems like).
Its not supposed to be fully working so I guess thats one of the features thats not in this beta.


And I agree about the sprint. Its useless. Just the characters a little faster.

I never thought UC2 MP was "ND levels of good" anyway. It was almost like a completely different looking game compared to SP.

Do you remember the Nepal Co-Op Stage? Jaws were dropped. Come on ND, seriously.

No! Now you can actually chase people and catch your enemies. It is also good when evading gun fire.
 
I honestly wonder if the console is taking a beating every time the beta forcefully restarts it. Kinda scared to continue playing until they sort that out.
 
RevDM said:
Is your guys ps3 restarting when you exit the beta?
Yep, it's normal. When you exit, the console reboots.

No, I have yet to face a problem after installing the patch
He meant when you exit the game completely, not when a match ends.
 
I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but why is my PS3 restarting after I try to install the 1.01 patch? It pops up, I click okay, it said "Please Wait" for some time, and then the system restarts.

known issue, try not clicking anything for 30 seconds when the patch 1.01 press ok appears, should work if you wait

edit: does anyone know what callouts do for weapon mods, they have 0 descriptions

Wait 10-20 seconds and then press X. Should work.

Beaten again :(

i believe they make the enemy in your crosshair available to be seen by your teammates (via red triangle).
 
playing a lot of Coop Arena

They need to do something about the siege game mode. More often than not there's a guy who either doesn't understand or doesn't care that the entire team needs to stand in the zone, not just to get points, but to advance past siege as well and get anything done for the rest of the match.

3 games I've left now because some retard kept jumping around the damn map and never entering the bloody zone.

They should have the announcer lady remind you that you need to get inside the zone if you are outside it.
 
Just faced the most retarded Pirates duo in 1v1v1. I took them both down twice on my first life, plus a Merc. Fucking brilliant. They still won though, lol
 
So I've played probably over 20 matches, and I'm in love with this game. I've been playing tons of U2 lately, and a bit of Codblops, and this is a great change. I've had 2 matches where people stopped respawning, and a couple co-op games where an enemy couldn't be melee'd, multiple matches on Airstrip where the treasure on top of the building couldn't be collected, but no other issues so far.

-I LOVE the G-MAL. It's so much better than the FAL, which I don't like much.
-The AK needs more spread it seems. I typically feather the trigger, habit from U2, but it seems like people that just stand at a decent distance and hold the trigger can kill me quicker than I can kill them by actively trying to counteract the recoil.
-Hardcore mode is awesome, it's nice that they still have the old style.
-The medley style co-op is great, but there are too many stupid people online. Stay in the fucking square people!!
-I really like the added customization, and I really don't mind the progression system, since there is still the Hardcore mode.

I'm sure Naughty God will get the bugs worked out in the next 5 months. Unless they completely jack it up, I will be playing Battlefield and U3 for my multiplayer games the rest of the year. Yes, the U3 beta has sold me and I'm skipping MW3 because of it. Thank you ND!

He's not really a rug merchant.
 
This game is a little strange as a team deathmatch shooter but the co-op stuff is still excellent (spent much more time with that in Uncharted 2). Are they going to roll out some objective modes over the course of this?
 
The beta has been running smooth as butter for me since the update. The game is really growing on me. I like the kick back system. They just need to reduce the amount of medals needed to unlock your kickback. Also, why should I have to forfeit some of my medals to switch load outs. The menu system definitely needs some work. I can't figure out how to customize load outs ingame, if thats even possible.

also, what is the point of paid boosters? I read somewhere that they can only be used once. Some of the boosters costs $25,000. I don't see any benefit in paying that much for one game.

Lastly, has Yemen been taken off the map rotation? That was my favorite map.
 
Playing this beta froze my PS3 (slim) more than once. And reading this thread with reports on bugs that restart PS3s, friends lists disappearing. I don't know how this passed QA and certification.

The graphics are not as good as UC2 and framerate drops. Not a ND effort I usually admire.
 
Damn, wished I had a code :/

Anyways, the restart + double-beep was a bug that occured during the beta for Uncharted 2 as well. Strange that this beta has the same problem...

Wouldn't you just be able to get it under the PSN plus month that was free for everyone?

Some retail games exit and restart the ps3 as well. I wonder if it isn't some trick to eke out a few more mb of ram.
I believe it simply means the title does not have information for quitting properly (such as auto saving, dump info, etc.) so the system is left to completely reboot itself instead of passing through directly to XMB. I used to know more about this when I worked as a tester but it's been too long now :P

Check your PMs.
 
Also, a friend of mine with a really old IGN prime account that wasn't active apparently got a code when signing in. People might want to try that if they need a code.
 
Would anyone be able to hook me up with a NA code?

I just got a PS3 yesterday and would like to do some UC3 beta this weekend.

Thanks in advance!
 
thuway said:
I can't believe how disappointed I am with the downgrade in graphics. Come on ND, you fostered us on your tech :(.

The shitter graphics are there to allow splitscreen support, Uncharted 2 didn't have splitscreen support.

Honestly I'd recommend you NOT to play the beta, seeing as it's pretty rough and shouldn't be your first major impression of the PS3. :P Play Uncharted 2 instead.

I got u, check ur pm in a minute.

Thanks, brah. Best-GAF, represent.

Well, I plan on beating UC2 first...

Same here seems to be a common problem
yeah same thing happens to me

althrough I tried to exit through the MP screen instead though the "press start" screen thingy, then it worked fine
but maybe that was just beacose I had the game on for 20s to test this instead of playing some matches then testing it
