Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

RatskyWatsky said:
I agree with the whole list, but I wanted to highlight these ones in particular, as they're the ones I agree with the most.

The health really is perfect, so please don't change it.

Pulldowns are pretty glitchy. I could be like 5 feet away from the guy, and he can still pull me down.

It's a little CoD, but I like that you unlock mods, costumes, and things with every level you gain. You also earn medals for running, hanging, or climbing. Even if you aren't killing someone, you still get medals.

Custom soundtracks would be nice too!

I assume the Helen Mirren woman will be a villain skin in multiplayer, but one female villain skin doesn't cut it. The hero side will have at least two, with Elena and Chloe, so hopefully they can add at least one more. I'm sure ND will release multiplayer skins as DLC like in 2, but I just wanted to mention it. ^__^


Well, you couldn't just throw in a female villain skin for the hell of it since all the skins are story oriented. They should however allow you to customize the gender of your character loadouts that way you could play as the female villain you designed.
 
I enjoyed the beta quite a bit. The single improvement or change that I would love to see is to remove the sprinting and just up the default speed. I really saw no need for the sprinting and it made the movement very clunky when sprinting. I really wish 3rd person shooter developers would just make it so that when the stick is fully forward it would sprint and at halfway forward it would be slower. So simple and would be such a welcomed change.

I'm actually surprised to say this, but I don't feel like playing Uncharted 2 anymore in the state that it's in when it comes to deathmatch. I'll still settle for co-op since that's leagues better than Uncharted 3's co-op modes and more intense. The beta has really spoiled me. The painfully slow matchmaking...the quitters with no late joins or any joins at ALL, the spawn kills, the stupid fucking MUTE skeletons and MUTE skins, Situational Awareness, Down the Irons/Fleet Foot, the LOW health (this is the biggest thing that upsets me)...it's just not that fun like the beta was. The higher health allowed for much more traversal...it's back to being shot in the back and dying within seconds. :(

And the worst part is that there's no more support for it. ND hasn't supported Uncharted 2 in a very long time. There hasn't been another title update that fixes stuff like the glitches, the Crushing troll lab is still active after god knows how many months...it's been completely abandoned. There's not even cash events anymore. It's a barren wasteland when it comes to support from ND and it's a shame.

arne/ND, the least you guys can do is add a Lab where the health is higher. Please. Remove the Crushing lab and make a lab where the health was like it was in the UC2 beta pre 1.05. I don't know why you guys haven't done this yet, but please consider it.

Well ND did support U2 for two years.

As for U3 vs U2, I found U3 requires a slightly different skillset than what I'm used to in U2, not sure if going back to U2 would really help me in U3, especially with the less accurate pistol and the bigger environments, in U2 I'm always aware of where my teammates are, in U3 chances are that I'm much further away from my teammates than I'm used to in U2, not to mention I can no longer rely on purely the pistol for both long range and short range combat.

What I do worry about is how in U3 sometimes the pistol just doesn't fire as fast, not sure if it's lag, but sometimes I can fire as fast as I can tap the trigger but sometimes it's like one bullet at a time, the U2 pistol is so much more consistent.

Of course you could, just make a female pirate, do some voiceovers and be done with it.

If you want some extra points give her a more girlish animation set.

Ditto.

I tried playing a few UC2 matches with tachiSama tonight, and I was surprisingly underwhelmed. Besides the low health making the game a chaotic killfest where any attempt at traversal is punished quickly (and especially Plunder suffers for this), everything felt... janky. Completely different from what I remembered.

What about all of the random, generic 'pirate' skins? Those aren't really story related, aside from being the enemies you fight throughout the game. They could just add in a woman enemy type. Or we could just wait for the inevitable DLC! ;p

Katherine Marlowe is all you need. :P
 
I was just looking at UC2 and am still blown away by this day. Its kind of jarring how it dips as you enter UC3 multi. Hopefully all this will change once we get in some Single Player...

Sooo...if there is LAN, shouldn't be there a way to set up your own server somehow?

not necessarily, p2p can work over LAN too... unfortunately, you know no one wants dedicated server for online games more than I do, it's a shame 2012 is around the corner and devs keep pushing out p2p turds. For sure the best benefit of playing in a LAN environment is that the host advantage becomes negligible and the experience is way more enjoyable. If a LAN party can go online and they (the LAN players) grab host they would become unstoppable, the other team would only 'see' the bullets/shooting animations after they're dead lol.
 
I thought this might interest Uncharted GAF, It's a review of the beta by tripleWRECK and Eugenides on Rockshow's channel. They seem to share GAF's opinions on health and other stuff and it's pretty well done.

Intro
Part 1: The Good

There's more to come, so I'll post them when they go up.

It also reminds me that I never got round to giving my feedback on the ND forums.

wait WTF did I just see scrolling this old page and why hasn't anyone seen it or commented. Fuck I'm scarred for life over here.
I couldn't find another thread that wasn't locked or directed especially for a game event :/

I was wondering why no one was pointing that out. It seems like zlatko linked to some random site and they changed the image to something...very different.

I thought someone edited an old post to stealth troll and had someone else bump it on purpose. Also, ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

edit: OH GOD OH GOD I just went back to see the name of the user who posted it!!!!!!
 
somebody pm the dude, lol it would suck for him to get banned over that shit IF he wasn't aware.

or better yet get a mod to remove it first. DECONTAMINATION IN PROGRESS
 
I didn't see it. I'm not sure what page you guys are talking about. I went to page 1 and saw nothing.

Give me a hint sucka
 
the dude with the coletrain avatar who is now banned posted it.

In superior 100ppp format it's on this one, otherwise it would probably be on the prior page. Deleted post so you'll never find it dawg

I said it a few posts ago. I was joking that if it's chicks with dix, you probably saw it when it was new.

Was it posted on this page or what?

*Drakes Inception
it was. The guy banned on this page had it. Either it's a horrible and clever hotlink stopper or he put it there and then had someone bump the thread.
 
As someone said before, I cannot play Uncharted 2 multi. I went into the MP really fucking late, so maybe thats why? But I tried going back to it, and it's just......uhhhh.

I loved it when I first started playing it, don't get me wrong. But I miss things like the crosshair hit markers, the treasures, the higher health, the kickbacks, etc.

Do we have an idea on what day and time the October beta starts yet?
I didn't even know there was an October beta coming up. I'll only play it if it means I get something in the full game since the schedule of games coming out starts to tighten up around the same time.

It's not just a beta, it is the full MP, meaning everything you do will carry over. :O

Will we also get our bonuses from the beta or will we have to wait for the full game for that?
