Uncharted 3: Subway's Deception Multiplayer Discussion [New Patch Released]

Power Plays seemed to have changed. Now if the losing team takes advantage of the Play and gets close, it pops up "Rallied!" and the Play ends. And there might be a limit of only one play per match, or one Power Play per side per match.
Despite my last-hours-of-the-night attempts, I can't find like four of the maps in our list. They haven't come up yet and I've played like 20 matches. Tried different modes and everything.
TDM and Plunder look like the only modes that currently have many people playing, but this will probably change over the weekend. Hopefully.
And holy shit, there are treasures. My favorite part of the multiplayer... now ruined with a SHITTY SUBWAY CUP. No, I am not kidding. What, did you want a cool little trinket resembling an actual archaeological finding? Maybe later, kid, right now you get a big shitty Subway cup staring you in the face. Probably the biggest fucking "treasure" in the game. SO GROSS. I never hate in-game-ads either, but Uncharted has always struck me as having some class. GROSS. SO SO SO GROSS.
Hopefully that shit is only for the month and goes away ENTIRELY in the full-game. Like, even if you get everything, too bad. You ain't carrying that garbage over. Fuck, I HOPE.
HAY GAIZ! Did you hear that Bioshock Infinite is going to have a gun in it that shoots Zunes at enemies!? Better put up your WhopperTM shield!

works only 30% of the time since they are now fast enough to roll away, I like how you can throw the grenades back out now though

The Rallied was in the later stages of the beta. And I'm pretty sure I had more than one power play when I was getting my ass kicked by a full party. I don't think it would make sense if there was only one per match either as Marked Man always kicks in with a 5 kill difference so there wouldn't be any other power plays in the game.duffyside said:
I truly hope someone can post some proper direct-feed screenshots of this game. It seriously feels like the game has gotten a good graphical bump since the previous beta, chiefly in the IQ department.
Also just tried the Airstrip map, and it looks so much better now with the changed lighting. It also feels like the shadow filtering has been improved; it doesn't stick out as much now when you run under the fence shadows.

This is a bad thing? The amount of unpredictability in Team Objective is mostly why I love the mode so much. Since the maps usually allow players to choose from 3-5 "entry points" to an area, and moving objectives require player movement unless you enjoy losing, I find that camping is 99% nonexistent. The only reason it turns into a mess is because of the super good grenades coming in from every direction. If grenades were tweaked or made as pick up only, the mode would be perfect IMO. Then again everyone starting with nades allows for a constant push on objective areas so...good with the bad I guess. Still my favorite mode.
Im sorry but no. If you can't live long enough to escape getting hit once or twice, you arent going to be able to evade or do much else. Low health killed capture the treasure and other obj modes. If you wand low health there are plenty of other shooters that satisfy that itch.TheExodu5 said:

Yes, it was the map design that made Uncharted 2 1.04 so shit not the increased weapon damage.TheExodu5 said:

Traversal can be granted with proper cover from allies, given the right map design. The maps I'm seeing in the videos so far seem to have very little thought put into them. They're essentially big arenas, lacking in choke points and strategic points of interest. There's no team work required or encouraged in controlling the maps. The maps just encourage mindless run and gun, a la CoD.

Too much unpredictability eliminates the possibility of making good educated guesses and leads to more luck-based encounters with regards to positioning. Completely random spawns + big maps + near-limitless traversal routes + no map/radar = a clusterfuck.
Maybe fun if you enjoy that kind of mayhem, but I prefer something more strategic and controlled.
Edit - and yes I agree about the grenades. Game needs something like Black Ops' Flak Jacket perk.

I'm about level 8 now and I have to say WTF was changed from the beta!?
It feels off. Like its a little too fast or something...

Subway MP - no custom games, but custom games in retail game + there are more maps on the way, some for later in Oct, others for retail #fb
Looks like my dream of at least 12 maps is going to happen. 9 so far (apparently, even though I've only seen 6), "some" for Oct, so that's at least 2, "others" for retail, at least 2 more. I'm guessing 14 total, which will be AWESOME. U2 launched with too few maps, but U3 is totally over-delivering.

Well, TDM and Plunder are more up my alley. Both teams basically control half the maps so spawns/traffic routes are much easier to predict.

Well, on the maps that I'm guessing most of the people playing have played the most of, being Airfield and Chateau, I've been on teams and played teams that have controlled capture points to where the other team just couldn't get in on them no matter what. Maybe it has to do with people not being familiar with most of the maps. Syria in particular has a lot of lines of sight that people aren't used to yet.
As for TDM and Plunder being more controlled, that's just the nature of the game modes. Sometimes I'm into that but coming off Gears 3 where most of the modes are about map control, Team Objective is exactly what I wanted. Not one second of downtime.

Yeah, movement speed has been increased way too much. I was just playing Plunder and moving with the treasure almost seemed faster than with Treasure bearer in Uncharted 2.FantasticMrFoxdie said:
EDIT Have they increased TDM time or added more rounds in Team objective? That was usually too short for me in the beta.
Ha I remember you. It's what happens when you run into the regulars lolLyonaz said:
I have tons of things to say already, so I'll try to put them down in the next day or so. Probably shouldn't have even downloaded this thing, I have WAYYYY too much work to be playing this shit.
Already at level 24 in 7 hours...
One quick thing I'll say though is that this MP is quite different from the beta in so many ways. Some things have completely changed, some things were taken away, etc.
It boggles my mind that every single time Airstrip or Chateau popped up, they won the vote easily when it's the first night and there's tons of maps people haven't played. Hell, I wanted the sandstorm map to win the one time but lost the vote again and called it a night. It's sad that so many people want to play the same maps over and over again just because they're familiar with them and won't suck as much.
This is one game where you can guarantee you'll suck in the beginning against the higher ranks since you don't know the maps yet. So I want to mess around in all the maps and have a good time without caring too much about getting my ass kicked. This game is hard as ever to get used to early on since it's so different but I'm confident I'll get back to whoopin' ass like I was in the beta.

Yes, although according to some Americans in the voice chat I was lagging pretty badly. We need more Euros playing.sorlin-g said:

stage is so damn awesome!!!
Naughty Dog PLEASE turn down the general speed of the MP. It feels too arcadey and too fast paced.

All the guns seems worse than in the beta. Or maybe the hit detection/netcode is just fucked or something.
