Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

The lighting is amazing in this game. I dunno, it looks at least as good as u2 to me.

The only things I'd remark on are the aliasing (seems worse than UC2 from what I can remember) and some more slowdown (which I hope will be ironed out). Everything else seems better, especially the lighting as you say (more dynamic shadows <3, especially on the Chateau map with the trees).
 
I really don't even seen the downgrade in graphics everyone is talking about. Chateau looks just as good as anything in UC2.

Airstrip is just an ugly, brown map in general.
 
I definitely don't see the downgrade.

Quick question, how do you blow up the little shack on top of the building on airstrip?

It's a dynamic event where an airplane sweeps over and blows it up.

How do you get the treasure sets to unlock different outfits?
Click to expand...

when you kill an enemy, sometimes a treasure will drop over there body as well. pick it up and it might be cash or a treasure. You can also get them by opening treasure boxes.
 
This game takes forever for me to find people to play with no matter which mode i play.
Gaf add me to chat so i can find some guys to play with or friend list .
 
The graphics look better than Uncharted 2 but the jaggies look horrible.

Controls are no where near as smooth as Unchared 2 though.
 
I just got home from work. Are the freezing and framerate issues from last night fixed yet? I'd like to play the game now, but if it's still having those issues I'll just wait.

Seems to be fixed. I've not experienced any problems.
 
As a big U2 MP player from around a year ago, I think the graphics and the controls are great. I've played about 6 games after the patch and besides matchmaking not finding other people quickly (although it was late at night when the patch came out), I wasn't having any of the problems of being kicked out of games or having my PS3 freeze, like I was before.
 
Pretty much going through a repeat of UC2 mp here.
Start enjoying the good gameplay/ideas, but slowly but surely have the p2p lag double KO fest, laggy analog stick controls, magnet latching rolls/cover that just a tiny bit too often don't do what you were going for and disorienting field of view keep me from properly enjoying it.

Most of these are problems inherit to the choices ND made, but they are more than enough to keep it from being a properly relaxing, no compromise experience.
 
Man, paid boosters are fucking expensive. 20k for a booster? Thats like an entire match. 5-10k would be much more reasonable. As of right now, I have zero incentive to use them.

Maybe they are for people who have bought everything and are rank 99 or whatever?

yes
 
Just got home from work to try this out and this update keeps causing my PS3 to reboot? I've turned it on and off but no luck. Do I need to redownload the whole thing?

I thought so too and it's exasperated by the fact that the normal boosters are borderline useless. See the location of power weapons? See the opponent who killed you until they die (10 seconds later)?

Meh.

Wait 20 seconds before confirming the update.

The bullet damage one gives you a big advantage.
Was going 15-1 when I tried it, I'd rather not have it be in at all, just unbalances the game.

It basically works like the shit you'd normally expect in f2p games, only now everyone can get it (now and then)

W..t....f
So they DO have an increased damage booster?
And then it's a PAID Booster?! How does that make ANY sense? You really want to cripple the lower rank people huh ND?If they didnt add so many advantages for leveling up then they wouldnt have to try to handicap the winning team with powerplays. So when I get to level 50 and start spending my millions on damage boosters every other match...I'm basically going to be god?

Hey! I know a good idea! Lets give everyone paid boosters and make them so expensive so only the top players who have everything unlocked, and already have a huge advantage, will buy them.

I'm rank 13 and have opened a fuckton of treasure chests.

I have never gotten a treasure piece. It's always been 3 medals, or cash. Thats all.

3 medals, cash or a paid booster. They mention it in the tutorial video.

i'm level 11, just opened the one with a treasure piece so far on the Chateau, doesn't happen often but it does. Whether it's supposed to happen is a different matter....

Are you sure? I've watched and no planes around it just blew up. Also most of the time there is no sound building up to the event.
 
Got to level 17 in only a few hours, the G-mal is an overpowered piece of shit and the lag that is involved when the clock strikes "America time" is absolutely horrendous.

Apart from that It shits all over UC2 multiplayer, both in visuals, sounds and gun/gameplay.
 
I love how you can kill enemy players by falling on top of them now. SO awesome!

And second treasure set unlocked. Also only need 1 more for the Pisces and kickass fisherhat for Sully now. Addicting treasures.
 
My only complaints:
1.Shield guys do to much damage and its harder to knock them down.

2.The big guys with the shotgun has way too much health

3.The shotgun default reload speed s really slow.

4.Cursed sucks please go away.

That is definitely something I also really dislike. It happens way too often.
 
After messing around in normal Team Deathmatch, power plays and boosters really dont seem overpowered at all. And to that one post about a level 1 not knowing he was a marked man so he should probably stay mobile/away from enemies: Level has nothing to do with it, especially since Uncharted TV tells you whats up the first time you log in...not to mention it should be obvious to run away if you know you're marked.

What I dont like is on Airstrip or certain parts of Chateau, you can be in cover and still get hit by someone right next to you in another car/ taking cover by another stone wall. Also i'm guessing this is bullet lag, but at times i'll run around the corner, only to still take damage from bullets that shouldnt make physical contact.

There are sets of different treasure pieces. Once you complete a set, a piece of custom wear is added to your selection.
 
I feel that Power Plays shouldn't be enabled after one team passes 40 points in TDM. If you're stuck with some shitty player that becomes the VIP target, the other team can easily sail past your team and win out of sheer luck.
