Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

I got the Five Not Alive or whatever medal so I went back to try and save the replay but when I view it, all I see are player names and arrows. Everything else is pitch black. Is this normal?

Fast forward the replay a bit. If it doesn't show after a while, it's probably broken.
 
Wow Yemen is fucking awesome! Most vertical Uncharted map yet, all kinds of crazy jumps and filled with nooks and crannies for awesome chases.
 
How do you guys like the power plays? I always get a rush of adrenaline when someone is the marked man and you run with him to protect him... or when you are the marked man

Yep, pretty awesome map. I never was that in to snipers but I just had an awesome game where we were all pretty much just using snipers.

It was 2min in U2 but I swear it's faster than this now.

I was in a match and left to get something out of the car, I know I didn't take more than 1min (felt like 30sec) tops and I came back to a "You have been kicked due to inactivity."
Maybe they increased the time via live patching. I measured it ~3 hours ago and it was exactly 2 minutes.

Well I can view the replay of the game fine and record the 30 seconds or so where I kill 6 people but then when I go to view the recording, it's pitch black aside from player names and arrows. Recorded it 3 different times and same thing. Sucks.
 
Yemen is pretty cool. Unfortunately, everyone I was playing with kept avoiding it. "Hey there's a new map guys. Let's not play it!"

I just quit out to the menu when that happens.

Co-op adventure is also pretty fun, I hope there are plenty of maps for it.
 
Agreed. Yemen is an awesome map. Very interesting design and looks gorgeous. I've just found some newspapers strewn on the floor in an alley....and they have Sully's photo on them. Very nice, Naughty Dog, very nice.

Ha, I would have but the guys I was playing against were awful. I actually managed to be the best player on my team a few times and we won. Posted a personal best of 18-7 against the other team.
 
Yemen is Awesome! My first kill was a BBQ kill, I love tossing that shit around and shooting it.

Syria Co-op was also great, <3 Elena. Although it was a bit short. Why can't we try Hard or Crushing in Adventure? Friendly fire is on in that difficulty, I predict many tears incoming when trying to save a team mate from a grab when shooting.
 
so I was doing co-op arena and someone left the game then it said unknown string and I lost all my progress grr

EDIT: just happened again joined a siege game no enemies were there then after I died said unknown string and d/c

Oh, well then it's just broken. Sucks, but it's a Beta right?

My first Five Not Alive ever in an Uncharted game did not get saved because I joined that game midway through ;_;

This needs to be fixed for retail.
 
Had a hilarious moment today. Got my RPG kickback, and saw that there were two people where I was jumping to, so no chance of surviving that! Pulled the trigger, got them both, killed myself in the process. Worth it to hear one of the players yell out "what the f*ck RPG?!" Awesome :D Happened on Yemen, which is a bloody great map. Such verticality to it, really interesting to play.

The co-op mode is damn fun, the little character quips help when you're not using voice chat! The vertical stuff... Nuts.
 
Yemen's so vertical and intricate. Really awesome map.

Co-op adventure is great too. The randoms I played with seemed to know what they were doing. I like the way that the treasures give you an actual objective whereas in Uncharted 2 objective mode you just fended off waves of enemies before moving to the next area.
 
Yemen is fantastic. I also somehow managed to have a 22 kill, 0 death match on it in TDM. The match of my life. It was nuts. I need to try some other modes on it though. I only tried TDM and FFA so far.

The adventure co-op is sweet too. That vertical part is really cool. I love that sniper-like pistol. It is really nice. I was hoping to get to be Elena, but I was Sully twice and Nate once. I always use Elena in Uncharted 2 multi. Hope I can be her later. I actually played with randoms and they all did a good job. I was impressed!
 
I'm starting to think that the netcode in this game is garbage... I don't know if the hosts are always in the US but I rarely win any head to head battles even if I empty the whole clip in someone's face from a close range. I'm getting killed in every melee battle too even when I make the first hit. In best case scenario I might be able to kill the guy first but somehow the dead guy manages to kill me too right after that. I'm just getting these double deaths all the time when me and my opponent both die (that was one thing that I always hated in KZ2) which is really starting to piss me off. I don't know, I'm mostly looking forward to the sp campaign now but hopefully the final mp is much better...
 
Having a really hard time adjusting to this patch for whatever reasons. Getting frustrated and crap, totally unusual. But hey Elena in Co Op! Groovy.
 
Chiming in that Yemen is totally great. Had a monster plunder match earlier this morning and really enjoyed everything that map has going for it.

Co-op adventure is alright. About what I was expecting, but I'm bummed it's just a tiny slice for beta even though I should have expected that. Only real gripe is that I hope ND somehow improves the heroes character models for the in-game cutscenes, since the MP models in the beta are pretty rough looking when viewed that close-up.

Oh, and the Syria map comes across as really dark to the point I can't see enemies in some sections of the map, but I'm guessing that's just due to the beta being early and lighting on maps still getting worked on.
 
Just got a chance to log in and play the Yemen map and holy crap it is intense in team objective. so chaotic and tons of jumping around to navigate the twists and turns of the map. so far the three maps we have seen have been very different from each other, I am really digging it and look forward to seeing the rest of the maps!
 
fuck this shit is easy. Even as a lvl 1 i was messing guys up. Great maps so far, no losses yet.

Also damn there is some dumb people playing co-op. First time in co-op with some lvl 10+ dudes and I scored double, almost triple the next nearest dude and they couldn't figure out where to go one time and this was the first time i was ever on the map :/
 
Ah Uncharted co-op is back baby, the story co-op is as fun as ever. That vertical section is boss, I hope sections like that are in in the campaign multiple times.

You've already come to realise that the majority of people playing this are as thick as a piece of shit blended with a brick.

Play plunder and watch in amazement as people fail to understand the objective of the mode :D
 
Syria map is a short but sweet preview of Co-op Adventure. It looks like UC3 could definitely give Portal 2 a run for its money as one of the better co-op games of the year. You still get a lot more cash in Arena though haha.
 
So, I tried to play some deathmatches with randoms hoping to check out Yemen.

First attempt: I join an ongoing match in Chateau
Second attempt: I join an ongoing match in Airstrip
Third attempt: I manage to get with people about to play a new game, Yemen wins in voting, I get unexplicably thrown out before the game starts, and end up joining an ongoing match in Airstrip

Make a plunder out of kill money?
Sorry for recycling this lame joke :(
 
Yemen and Adventure co-op are fantastic additions. Really enjoyed checking them out for a but this morning. Hopefully I'll have more free time to put into the beta this week.
 
I often get 'lost' enemies with Co op Arena, that don't come and attack.

Syra map glitched for me once, one of the artifacts just disappeared, followed by random spawning enemies.

Sometimes menus get massive slowdown when loading a new game (probably because a party member left).

Other than that, quite godly already, and we're only in beta! :D
 
I never played alot of uc2, but the three maps they have presented up till now are far superior to the ones in uc2.

ill rank em like this

airfield>yemen>chatau.

And i must say i love plunder. So much more fun than straight deathmatch. Finally a mode that forces cooperation.
 
Damn, should I be playing co-op adventure if I don't want to spoil location in a SP? I probably shouldn't. I'm not even sure I like that they've revealed so many locations which are bound to be in the SP.

This happened to me as well; the last artifact vanished. Although, I didn't encounter that glitch again. Those snipers and the riot shield guys can get pretty annoying, if you have a clueless team.
 
Gotta agree that the Yemen map is awesome. Looks amazing and the layout highlights what UC3 does differently from a lot of MP shooters with all of the vertical traversal areas. I would have played a lot more of the beta up to this point if it had been this map and Chateau to begin with. Definitely looking forward to seeing what else they have in store for the full game. Naughty Dog seems to have gotten really good at MP map design in a very short span of time.
