Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing
- Thread starter rdrr gnr
- Start date
Ok, after playing several more matches, I can say that I'm starting to warm up to the game a little bit. I still prefer Uncharted 2, but with Hardcore mode, I think this game will be fine.
The one thing I need to see changed to put me fully onboard is taking off the sprint and returning movement to the way it was in Uncharted 2. That is a top priority.
Also, I can live with the power plays if they just decrease the frequency. Maybe 1 per match, 2 tops.
I also still really hate that there are loadouts and you unlock weapons by leveling up, but I doubt they will consider changing that this late in development.
The health seems great right now, buddy system is cool, and some of the new modes are cool. I like picking up treasures in the match and customized outfits.

Still the problem with loadouts. High level players will have all kinds of crazy weapon mods.arne said:
But the thing that bothers me most is the shooting mechanics. Aiming/firing feels so slow and the hit detection is terrible. I have no idea when I'm actually shooting someone or not. Should have kept it the same as UC2 and increased the health a bit.

What does 'callout' do?
How do you get an assassin medal?
Also the matchmaking sucks, I'm lvl 19 now and the game keeps putting lvl 2-8s in the matches with me, they have such a disadvantage.

It's much easier for me to notice with the new hit markers, plus the sound it makes when you connect helps a ton also.H_Prestige said:
I prefer this over U2, it was harder to tell if you were actually connecting with shots or not.

So passive 3d spotting ...Killthee said:

Okay, yeah, they really need to add something else to get people to understand the siege objective.
Something annoying, like flashing the screen edges until you get there. Or big red letters when you kill someone outside the zone, like "YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY POINTS, YOU IDIOT".

Are you waiting for 20 seconds on the confirm patch screen? Maybe sit in the patch screen till you can hear the music of the beta menu start playing, then confirm.

I think it's a new firmware bug cause the Journey patch was also causing resets if selected too quickly.

Tried out the beta!
The beta is an absolute eyesore, was easy to get in a match - no hassles there. Might take advantage of the party system it has in the future because I got sick of being sworn at after 5 minutes.
I don't know. It's not as good as U2 and it is dreadfully dull compared to the Gears 3 beta.
Still, plenty of time to clean things up!

I played a bit of the beta. Maybe multiplayer isn't my cup of tea.

Not as deep as he thinks
One thing I would love is for the retail release...to have a co-op arena difficulty option. You know, like a Crushing playlist where the enemies are more powerful and deadly. I'd love that so much. It was one of the requests I made to be added to Uncharted 2's co-op arena modes.
Hardcore mode is so good. Seriously.

Okay WTF.
It plays fine until for some reason I can't move. There's a symbol that appears on my screen of a plug that is unplugged.
Am I disconnected or something? It takes forever for me to start playing again so I'm just frozen until I get killed.

Just won a match cause of a last minute powerplay. So fricken terrible, like I want to have my hand held to a win. Powerplays, paid boosters, experienced players getting better equipment and yet I STILL can't find a hardcore match. I don't know how people can go for this stuff, but if they like it they like it.

Are there load outs in hardcore mode? Please say no.

That mode is for fun. Hardcore mode is what you want if you're going to take pride in your accomplishments.PedroLumpy said:
Baby Jesus said:Same. I loved U2 because it was such a pure, mostly undiluted experience - its simplicity was a big part of its appeal. Just a standard load-out, a couple of perks and a run to the power weapons that created some really good standoffs. knowing who was packing what added to the intensity. Nobody spawned a tactical nuke in their back pocket halfway through the match.
Of course, it wasn't perfect and I didn't want the same game repackaged, but this feels like a bit of a sidestep to me; like throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the game. It feels a bit too much like every other military shooter of the day. It really reminds me of Black Ops.
It's still a great game thanks to the core mechanics, and I am enjoying it - the Buddy System is inspired. Very glad there is a Hardcore mode, though.
And, yes Epic Games deserve an internet cookie for sticking to their guns
I could not agree more. Simplicity is king IMO.

It's probably host migration.
With maps as intricate as UC3's, the Callout attachment is definitely a positive edition, even in hardcore. Creating a standardized set of concise verbal callouts is simply an impossible feat.

Well yeah, I'm just surprised I can't find a Hardcore match. That implies not many agree that powerplays, boosters etc. are silly. It's disappointing, but how does it go, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink?

3D spotting is never, ever a positive edition. If you're not capable of verbally letting your teammates know where someone is, why does telepathy suddenly become the next logical step?
