Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

Man, either the people seriously suck or having UC2 experience makes some kind of massive difference, since I literally have a 3-5 K/D ratio in each and every game :\. I'd be afraid to see what a GAF/UC2 vets team could do to an opposing team of randoms.
 
Gah! I bring an idol almost all the way to our base and get taken down. Teammate picks the idol up and then carries it the wrong way and throws it away from our goal, giving them time to regroup and take the idol for a point.

how about 20-2 three team DM?
 
Man, just played a pretty cool and very fun game of plunder. Played with and against randoms that actually wanted to win. Only 1 person on each team had a positive KDR - me on my team, and a guy on the other. I think there may have been one dude who was 13/12 on the other team too, but really it was a bunch of people who were 15 - 17, 18 - 13, etc.

Plunder is just so great when people care. I hate TDM on Airstrip because it's so hard to find people with the map being so big, but with Plunder you know always whereabouts to find the action.

And, it's really fun to see them constantly trying to put it in the wrong chest. It's like, I really don't get some people sometimes.
 
I understand the frustration when it comes to playing Plunder with randoms. Rarely do you get a good team playing with randoms, but when you do get a team that cares, it's really a lot of fun. imagine playing Plunder with shitty team mates in Uncharted 2 with it's awful health. I seriously raged so hard in the UC2 days. At least in UC3, you don't die the instant you pick it up. To this day, the Protectorate trophy remains the greatest trophy I've ever unlocked since I didn't boost for it and got it by playing with randoms.
 
Caught some guy named "deadly-warrior6" shooting through walls earlier tonight. Also, in the chateau map, I've seen people climb to the very top of that one building by the turret, but I don't know if they're cheating or not. I couldn't seem to find a way up there, unless I wasn't looking in the right place. The building I'm referring to is the farthest one from that vehicle. It would be the one on the left if you were facing the chateau outside in the area between the two turrets.

Has anyone else had problems uploading video?

Watch one of your replays and it will show you how they get up there. I did this, as it becomes my mission in life to disrupt those fuckers any time they go up there. Anything I can do to ruin their good time. Wish this game had land mines...
 
Regarding reviewing your matches, has anyone elses PS3 freeze when they tried to rewind multiple times at once?
I initially saw this in GiantBombs quick look and it just happened to me.
 
At first I wanted the game to have lower health, people like to complain about bulletsponges in their SP but in MP is okay?. But now the game is clicking way better with me.

But is such bullshit to have people just blinshooting + melee attack, unless the person is several meters away, aiming in this game is useless, just shoot the damn thing get close and melee, fuck good aiming skills.

Also the sniper rifle should kill at close range in one shoot, WTF. No wonder almost no one weares it.
 
WOW! I just had a few matches of Plunder and I had a blast... it just felt very balanced (or maybe I was just playing with very good players?). Really it's the most fun I've had so far in the beta

I think you answered your own question. :-P

But yeah; me too.

Wait... people are seriously that stupid? I thought they was trollin'
 
Wish I knew what the unlocks for playing 5 and 10 were. I mean, if it's "your Pirate's sunglasses will be slightly more silver" than dude, WHATEVER.

If it's "Chloe bikini top" then I MUST KEEP PLAYING.
 
Lucentto said:
Wow, I was actually starting to like the MP until the weapon damage change. Once again proves how pure garbage will always be garbage. Just stick to Single Player ND and save yourselves the trouble.

Glad that they ND doesnt just listen to a Lucentto.

I and a million other love the multiplayer, rock on ND.

Can you afford to take the risk?

The only time I got up there was when I spawned on my buddy as he was climbing into the window directly beneath it.
 
I keep running into so many people using map exploits now it's really killing things, good thing we get yemen tomorrow, new map to learn.

The entire enemy team was exploiting just now on airstrip, it was terrible. So, Naughty Dog needs to a good job of looking at the maps that AREN'T in the beta rotation because I'm going to guess there's exploits on those maps too and I'd really hate it if we had to wait till a month after release to see them fixed
 
krypt0nian said:
Yeah me too but I'm getting better and have ridiculous fun every match.

How can I live without this once beta ends? How?

Yeah, I just started last night and was pretty crummy for the first couple matches (I had like 5 kills to 12 deaths my first time out, lol). I flipped it around by the end though, usually ending up within top 2 for kills. Hardcore mode (ironically enough) is probably the way to go for beginners. Don't have to worry about perks and all that nonsense.

I love when people go up there. You can snipe them back with the gmal so fast from the room across the way. Racked up 15 kills in a TDM that way.

Is there a way to mute certain players? I'm tired of hearing people's delayed game audio in my headset
 
Just had a run in with what I guess was a group of cod players. All low level and camped together at same spot on chateau near stairs with snipers and gmals. Just camping there lol

Anyone playing right now? My PSN name is Polyhedron, come join me

I'm done for the day but can add you for some games some other time if you want.

I actually came here to post that I'm seriously impressed by some people's skills from the week's top plays videos. I actually think that's a neat and welcome feature.
 
well I don't know what's going on with this beta but as the other night it has happened again early this morning to me and two friends playing in the same house (Spain), people dropping like flies with a couple of shots, AK, MAL, pistol... whatever, this time I'm not blaming a certain patch or ND tweaking damage/health values as they clearly stated after our comments that they never changed those and certainly yesterday afternoon it was all feeling back to normal again except for the ridiculuos AK hip firing accuracy. I don't know if this is a low server load issue, an alignment of stars, me getting host constantly along with playing in a party of friends in the same house or a combination of all four... but it's a day-night difference. I will try to upload the cinema replays today so everyone can see them.

Is it lag such a major factor that it can change so radically the way the game 'feels' and the amount of bullets you need to kill / die ? yesterday after this happened for the 1st time I was convinced 1.04 changed the game, then the ND guys came and made it clear what was changed and what wasn't, now I really believe it's nothing but lag (or the absolute lack of) messing with the game, definitely getting host in a party of players in the same house = ultra quick kills and much more responsive gameplay...

btw is FFA coming back? I never played it and want to complete my 10 games.
 
The only game mode that took a considerable amount of time to complete 10 matches was Plunder, being in a party of 2 and having 3 randoms was a nightmare.

9 out of the 10 matches would consist of a team getting 4 captures then insist on not capturing the 5th just to get kills....IN A BETA, WITH NO K/DR.........AND NO FUCKING LEADERBOARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck this generation of online gamers :\

well that's no worse than the people glitching and cheating in this beta just for kills game after game... to be honest they are usually 12-14 year old kids that most probably will not be playing U3 but the new CoD come November.

Thats my hope, i like cod and will be playing it myself also but the shit that goes down in objective games in uc3 is annoying as hell. If you finish with a massive + kdr in objective based games then you are nine times out of ten playing it wrong.

Cluster bomb them all. Oops.
 
So I went into a TDM game about a half hour ago only to find that my Treasure Hunter's normal white and brown ensemble had changed into a bright neon green that would make Kermit the Frog jealous. Upon finishing the match, his clothes returned to their normal level of drabness and I was intrigued to discover that that particular color of green isn't even a normal color option for clothes.

Undaunted, I went looking for another round, which wound up being on airstrip. Things commenced as normal with the heroes racking up an early lead, but then I noticed through my scope that the runway was no longer moving in relation to the plane, even though the trucks were still advancing and receding as normal. After about 10 seconds, my Treasure Hunter's neck was broken by an invisible enemy, the respawn prompt failed to appear, and the camera began to spin uncontrollably as my poor treasure hunter's body was stuck halfway inside the cargo plane, dangling above the still-eerily-stationary runway. My PS3 crashed.

Based on this, I have come to the only logical conclusion. My PS3 is haunted. Anyone know a good exorcist?
 
Played my five matches of Co-op hunter, and I'm just not a fan. We won all five matches, but people kept quitting because of it. I really, really hope a penalty is instilled for people who have a history of quitting matches.

Exclusive Beta Decals 1 and 2.

So I guess, extra stuff you can create your Emblem with it in the full game, and not anything to wear.

Lol I just played with Lince, Pwon and some other guys yesterday, it was a massacre.

ah yes those games yesterday, good games indeed, we're so used to decimate the other teams that sometimes we rage as you could see if we win just by 6-7 kills... lol, thanks for joining us anyway! I remember on Airstrip after the 'plane hijack' opening we were leading 20-1... and playing as villains of course, I think I've only played as part of the 'Heroes' only a couple of times since the beta started... is this something to do with playing in parties and high ranks ?

i fail to see the over reactions you speak of

There's plenty of them in the thread, you'll see such things as people claiming that traversal is useless now, that they're selling the fanbase out for call of duty, that they will not be buying the game, or will only now play things like plunder. Tons of people have egg on their face, all because of these supposed changes like reduced health and the gmal change that make the game 'unplayable'. But people who get owned either say nothing and try to stay quiet or claim it didn't happen,, that's how these things go.

Well, if you kill the VIP multiple times you have no choice but to end up with a massive K/D ratio. Usually I almost always get around 20 and above kills and 10 or bellow deaths but when I kill the VIP it can go as high as 110!

I do go in negatives too, especially when I'm trying to do the objective, and it's quite chatic near "capture the zone" type areas. And most of the time, people are spamming grenades left right and center!
 
People talk about high KDR being bad for objective based gameplay so here's a test. Every plunder and team objective match you play /played, look at the overall KDR of the teams and see who has higher KDR overall, winners or losers.

ok Zen we got your point already, I got embarrassed and overreacted when the beta started acting up on me (same as this morning btw, OMG OVERREACTION) and I posted about it, then the ND guys came and all was good in the world again, can you please stop posting over and over the 'lol GAF overreacting' shit in every damn page please? really, we got it already, I was plain dumb and jumped to conclusions when I noticed the huge difference from 1.03 to 1.04, at the end of the day it wasn't the patch but the complete lack of lag for some reason, anything more you want to hear before putting this damn thing to rest already?

where's the egg on my face btw? I'm hungry lol

But people who get owned either say nothing and try to stay quiet or claim it didn't happen,, that's how these things go.

lol, how old are you? I got 'owned' yes, yet as I posted somewhere in this thread earlier I had very valid reasons to post my impressions and support what others said, then when the ND guys came and explained things and I played 5-6 hours of the beta yesterday myself with my GAF friends so I had nothing much to add on top of what the devs posted, did you want an apology? oh man, stop crying, here it is...

'Zen I'm so sorry I was misleaded by the lag conditions on my end and posted some impressions about health/damage that were proven not true, I really didn't want to hurt you, please forgive me.'

And do you guys feel that the AK47 blind fire is overpowered?

blindfire I can't really say since I'm on the move all the time, I spend almost no time behind cover... but hip firing the AK is ridiculously overpowered now yes, even while jumping.

Aside from when everything was initially said, I've only posted in response to a few other people commenting on it and not in some groupthink affirmative statement to someone else going 'haha that's funny', fair enough? Full disclosure, it really annoys me when people flip out over small changes and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon, because more often than not I think people end up at a place much further than what actually happened, and things just get plain silly (as this was a perfect example of), so I'm venting a bit, but I'm not actively looking for posts so I can go 'haha', either.

And I've said it twice on this page apparently (100 posts per page, baby :p)

Also, the conversation has pretty much moved, so, it's not like me making what is probably like the last post about it in the thread really matters all that much.

you can't let it go can you... ok, whatever, I'm not bothering anymore.
 
I've played hours of this with each update and I'm still not impressed. It's not bad but too often there are these little things that constantly pop up and annoy me and make the game worse.

I'm still excited for coop adventure and the Yemen map. Plz be good.
