WHAT GAMES MODES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PLAY?
  • Team Deathmatch: Nothing special here, 5v5, first to reach the kill limit wins.
  • 3 Team Deathmatch: New to the series, this game type pins 3 teams of 2 players against each other. Bring a buddy.
  • Free-for-All: New to the series, but a familiar staple in online multiplayer. 8 players per match.
  • Team Objective: Various objective type game modes.
  • Plunder: Uncharted 2's most played game type makes a glorious return as opposing teams fight for possession of a golden idol.


WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO PLAY ONLY COMPETITIVELY?
  • Hunters Mode (Co-op): "Two teams of two (2v2) are pitted against each other, one as the heroes and the other as the villians. The villians are aided by AI enemies and there goal is to stop the heroes from capturing any treasure. The villians start out weaker than the Heroes, like the AI goons. Medal Kickbacks are awarded to the Heroes for returning a piece of treasure while Hunters earn medals for obtaining kills, which allows them to pick a more powerful pirate or soldier to respawn as. After six minutes the teams are reversed. Spawn locations of the AI change throughout the match as well as more powerful gear becoming available as time goes on."

  • Adventure Co-op: Similar to Uncharted 2's.

Super-hyped to play this, especially now that we get some actual level of character customization. Never expected that I'd love the multiplayer in Uncharted 2, but whoa boy did I. Thanks free month of PS+!

So this is in the beta as well?

Should be, but they might lock it out (see: Infamous 2 full game trial on UK store). People will sure be pissed if they do, though.

In some of the interviews, when asked how people can get in, they said "everyone gets in." I'm not sure if they are referring to Welcome Back, or July 5th.

I can't blame you for using the best/cheapest/most unbalanced combo in the game -- well, maybe a little :p

I'll be using back in the saddle for impatient ol' me. I don't like any of the slot 1 boosters. That cloaked bullshit should be eliminated from the game.

PSN came back up June 3, so it should last until at least July 3 (30 Days) depending on when you activated your free month.
