That's one of the only things I like about the game.Metalmurphy said:
But it's balanced better and everything is awesome and cinematic and epic epic EPIC.jett said:
This beta completely convinces me that Uncharted 2's 1.00-1.04 multiplayer was so great, fun, and balanced because it was a FLUKE.

hey Killzone 3 features 3D and split-screen coop and it looks amazing, even better than KZ2 in SP... so it must be something else, like some filter or whatever, U2 looks a lot more crispier and 'smooth', U3 feels 'heavy' and the airstrip map lighting is atrocious, that map doesn't live up to the ND gfx standards.

Completely. After playing U2 today, I'd estimate the health bar is 2x - 3x as large.

Wow, people already condemning the beta to be shit and it only came out a few hours ago.
I love how fickle we are.
I say to the people who think it's shit "Don't play it than!". At least the people who are enjoying it can have a better chance to play the beta.

smh at graphics feedback. Beta does not equal demo/retail code, that shit is always polished later.
Performance issues are a different story. Someone mentioned dedicated servers, and it is interesting that it doesn't have it.
Not going anywhere near that far. I'll play the beta, and see how I feel about when the full game comes out--I'll have to make a decision between this and ACR, which comes out 2 weeks after.

Sigh, take a deep breath, GAF, its a beta. This is why you're playing it.

If you guys are using AK's, then yes it'll take people more bullets to drop, but you gain an automatic rifle. The 3 burst gun drops people in I believe 4 hits, and if you aim at the head it's a lot faster. Also, playing hardcore team death match the bullets felt perfect on there.

I STILL can't get on. "Error downloading config file."
Help?

It's just that to get the weapon damage of U2, they made it so you have to use bullshit boosters and mods to make the weapons what they once were.AwakenedCloud said:
So I'm not the only one who had this game playing in slow motion for them, am I? It was nothing but motion blur the frame rate was so bad. I mean, TERRIBLE. Unplayable.
Yes, yes, it's a beta. But I don't know how they expect us to test anything when we (or at least I) cannot play. I'm sure they'll fix it but I just wanted to be sure that I'm not the only one experiencing like worst slowdown of any online game ever.

what's with the lighting on the airstrip map. I can't see shit. My brightness settings are fine for every other game. What's going on ND?
RyanardoDaVinci said:
Well unlike you I still like Uncharted 2 MP.
Yeah it's a shame what happened but I adjusted. I figured you might like the beta, considering the increased health was your main complaint in 1.05. alr1ghtstart said:
In a way, it's brave that ND has gone down this route. I imagine that won't be the last time we hear that complaint.
I personally really like the health in the beta.It's NOT like Killzone 3 where the multiplayer is an unfun piece of shit. U3 beta is good fun when it's not plagued with server issues, it's just very different from U2.
RyanardoDaVinci said:
if it was a fluke why did they take 4 patches to 'ruin' it? I guess they gave in to the pressure of the CoD crybabies... too many bullets to kill... maps too big, I want to spawn 2 feet away from my enemy so I can get an easy payback...
lol, now seriously, same as Killzone 2, if not for custom games (7 v 7 with assault class banned) KZ2 standard mode (32 kids rocketing each other while boosting around in a laggy p2p mess) was/is atrocious. The custom variant made it the best online FPS this gen.

I get what you're saying but it just seems so much slower than 2 did. I'm sure once we adjust games will go faster, but at the moment, it seems like it's possible to run away from even the worst type of situations due to the extended health bar.zlatko said:
After playing some more matches, I gotta say I'm liking this more than UC2.
The gameplay feels slower, and more strategy oriented - yet the core shooting and cover elements what made UC2 multiplayer 2 so good are all there.
Playing with a buddy is a definite plus thanks to the increased emphasis on teamwork, buddy medals, and spawn on buddy, which is always how I played UC2 anyways with my friend.

It wouldn't be that, it would be cost of servers over the long term impacting the cash flow for future projects, things like the break even point, etc.
Also, while I can't speak for what our actual policy will be on when the matchmaking, etc. servers that are necessary will be shut down, it's less likely they will be shutdown because of the expense of keeping them running versus player population. I'd like to think we'd go so far as Halo 2 for example, which had the servers up for nearly 6 years. That becomes less viable if the expenses over time are much larger.

Touche.jett said:Well unlike you I still like Uncharted 2 MP.
I've adjusted to it as well, but the changes just show me they have no idea what they're doing.
Boombloxer said:
Dedicated servers cost more money to run than P2P correct?
They would be nice, but I doubt that will happen.
But for me personally, I'm liking the beta a lot, I had some performance issues on airstrip and other then the connection issues, it's been fairly smooth for me.

It's been bugging the hell out of me. I think ND must have forgot.dralla said:
Calavera520 said:
Yeah, that's probably the least impressive map in the beta. I think the color vibrance/hue is way too high, feels like the color pallete actually takes away from the map.
On the plus side, I'm loving the layouts and extra climbing. And the vault/jump/climbing transition is quicker and smoother.

Health is perfect indeed. One of the things that irks me the most about U2 is that you have no room for maneuver. The window of time you get between "oh shit someone's firing at me" and "FUUUUU I'm dead" is so small, you hardly ever have the chance to bail out or look for cover.Chamber said:
In the beta, you have plenty of time to get out of harms way and start planning how to counterattack. Gives cover and actual tactics a meaning they had lost.

all these hard resets are scary, one user over at the ND forums has said his ps3 wont turn on anymore. I think i might wait a while.

I finally finished a match...I love the lady announcer, 5 kills left...nobody die, or something, always makes me chuckle.

Spawning on your buddy is broken.
You can spawn on them when they're 10ft from any enemy even if they're being fired at, I did it multiple times this morning.
