Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

duffyside said:
For all the complaining people have done on what "ruins the game" (hip-firing, blind-firing, kickbacks, power-plays, etc), the thing I've seen just suck the life out of any fun for half the players is... parties. Especially a good party. Randoms have no chance agains a group of 5 level 30s all playing together with mics. Seen Plunder games end in like 5 minutes because of it, even if the other team has a few good players on it.

Not saying parties should be eliminated at all! Just pointing out how absurd all the whining has been considering this is the biggest game-breaker out there.

... It would be nice though if parties were matched up against other parties, provided the player-base is there.

I ended up in a party match against these kids on mics (and I think one of their dads) and I did probably too well against them (like I was running around the whole map and getting multiple medals, etc.). The dad's response at the end was "Let's make sure he's not in the next one..." Next thing I know, I'm getting assigned to another random TDM game. Then I went back to normal, 1 to 1 K:D and dying a lot lol.

My point is party matches have their place -- help newer players get better, help crappy players like me realize they are crappy, teamwork, etc.
 
I've also had it happen 3 times now when we get to 0 lives left in a co-op arena one of the other players will just run around and kill me and the other player. What the fuck is wrong with people.

And the difficulty jump thing I've had happen a lot, especially in Chateau. It gets ridic when you're out in the open for a siege and there's nothing but rocket launcher guys.

Anyone know what all the modes throughout the beta we had to play to get the unlocks for retail?

Free for all, TDM, HTDM, Objective, plunder.

I forget all the co-op stuff. :(
 
Whenever I see (especially if I have a buddy) a teammate not really contributing to our objective, but rather camping as a sniper for kills or what have you, I toss a grenade at their feet and kill them.

Am a dick, or a great humanitarian?

I loved this beta. Everything felt great, aside from a few bugs and other things. Is it me, or do some animations not seem finished yet? I know it's a beta, but I just want another person's opinion.

I've noticed this for a lot of the melee kills.
 
Plunder matches with randoms can range from really awesome to just horrible, dreadful experiences. Just had a match where we won in 4 minutes after I took the treasure to the chest 5 straight times without dying once. Only my buddy and I had mics, but everybody seemed to be on the same page helping out.

The next 3 matches, 1 teammate spent the majority of his time trying to snipe but not hitting anything, several teammates just camped for kills even as the treasure was right beside them and the chest not that far off, and another had this habit of going into a taunt animation at the worst possible time, usually in doorways or in front of the chest, inadvertently blocking me or my friend from advancing and often times leading to our death.
 
Stats are up and the beta shutdown has been pushed back to Friday!

Uncharted 3 Beta Stats!

B3sV0.jpg


As the rest of the team has been working incredibly hard on the remaining tasks to complete Uncharted 3, other folks at the studio – namely Jason, our in-house web developer – have been working really hard to allow you to view some of your Beta stats.

We’re glad to let you know that you can now view a LIMITED set of BASIC player profile stats and a summary of your game history, right here on NaughtyDog.com. To check your stats, make sure you’re logged into PSN on NaughtyDog.com and hit the “Uncharted 3: Beta Stats” navigation item in our menu above or click on this link!


We wanted to be sure that everyone who is looking forward to the Uncharted 3 Beta rewards (details at the end of this post) have an opportunity to check up on their progress. This will allow you to do that – the Uncharted 3 Beta stats allows you to check your level and go through your game history to figure out how many games of each gametype you’ve played.

We’ve thrown in a few more, basic, profile stats like kills, deaths, headshots, wins, losses and the time you’ve spent playing either Competitive gametypes or Cooperative gametypes.

We’re looking forward to the October and November, when the FULL Multiplayer mode of Uncharted 3 will be available – which will have a comprehensive package of stats displayed on a redesigned NaughtyDog.com.

Some of you have also been wondering what time exactly the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta will be shut down. The Beta ends at:

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 9:00 AM PDT
(what time is this in my city?)

If you’ll notice, that’s a bit after July 14 – oops! Now you have just a little extra time to hit those requirements for the Beta rewards!
 
So my brother and I were completely kicking ass twice in a row on a personal level. We both had 20+ kills and less than 10 deaths each, but we had someone on our team who had like 0-12 and he was a level 20. Wtf, how can you make it to a level 20 and still get 0 kills?

The one spot that really needs to be fixed is the little block you jump on across from the turret on the air ship level. It's dodgy and half the time you can't properly jump on it.

Lol it must have been embarrassing for him.
 
I thought it was just me too. xD I was like, why is my internet being unkind to me. I'll just check my stats tomorrow. Hopefully the site will be working then.
 
1.96 kdr, allegedly. 16 hours in competitive, 16 hour in cooperative. I've barely played any cooperative. Stats are not accurate.
 
The site is buggy as hell or something. Its taking awhile for me to even connect to it.

EDIT: Yeah, ND, I'm hoping you're still working on the stats. They weren't very accurate in U2 and they still aren't.
 
I have apparently an average of 15 kills per match. That's decent, I guess.

I agree with jett. There's no way I spent more time in Co-op than competitive.[/QUOTE]

Time was screwed in UC2, it's screwed here unsurprisingly. According to ND I believe I have played [B]-[/B]47 million hours of UC2 multiplayer.
 
Can't log into my PSN on the Naughty Dog site.

Keep on getting the message "Missing return url parameter" when I try to log in.

Edit: Managed to log on, but stats are showing up blank.

It's under heavy traffic, try later.

I think I might be missing one.

There have been 3 co-op types? I'll have to log on later tomorrow to play it. I played 10 of all the competitive types, but I must be missing one of those co-op types. The co-op types I remember were the type that had you and a buddy versus another pair taking turns trying to score treasures against a lot of AI enemies + the 2 enemies somewhere among them(think that was hunter), and the other was Arena I suppose which had the 3 alternating objectives with siege, score treasure, and survival.

What do you do in adventure?
 
So we have til Friday, eh? Awesome. I have class tomorrow from morning til 5pm but will be gaming after that.

EDIT - Anyone down for some co-op adventure, TDM, or Plunder should add me. I play Uncharted 2 occasionally as well and will be getting my copy of Killzone 3 back soon (have yet to play that online).

My PSN ID is the same as my username here.
 
I forgot how retarded some people are with Siege, ND should just make it so it's instant death after 30 sec when you're not inside the area. Make the enemies invincible and can 1 shot you when you stay outside plus 10 sec doomcounter. Otherwise they will never learn. Also give me cash for bringing in the treasure with gold rush, it's ridiculous when others get cash while they just go killing and I get jackshit for actually doing the objective.

That said, I fucking loved the beta , this and BF3 will be my main online games until their respective sequels.
 
My stats must be horrible although I can't check them right now. I have already forgotten my new PSN password (and apparently didn't write it down) and PSN Store's password recovery page hasn't been working for ages... Grrr, how long can a page like that be under maintanance, I mean WTF?!..
 
I'm getting some funky numbers like this one:
Date December 31 1969 04:00:00 PM
Map Chateau
Gametype Team Deathmatch
Win/Loss

I think they should be Plunder games, but for some reason they're showing up like that.
 
great news about extention of the beta, I may even be able to hit 25 finally.

Was nice to play with gaffers yesterday, Coop arena and adventure are much more enjoyable this way. :)

Will be up for some more matches this evening, I think I still need some 3TDM games and few coop hunter games as well.
 
Uhm, that match history list does not seem to be accurate, I deffo played more Coop adv and arena yesterday than I can find in the whole list.
