I tried replaying UC1 the other day, I had forgotten the loud noises it makes the BD drive do...so I stopped out of fear of my ps3 borking up.

Haha I know! Thought my disc was grinding.

 

[jett]

Just had a really stupid 2 vs 3 TDM on Airstrip, went the distance FFS. Anyway, I can confirm there are no more power plays after double damage.

 

[Haeleos]

As a Canadian, where can I go to beg for a code?

 

[alr1ght]

The AK is the best weapon in the game. I don't care what anyone else says.

 

[Rewrite]

No.

No I don't want to pick up a micro over the grenade next to it.

No I don't want to pick up the M9 next to the treasure.

No I don't want to melee the guy next to the guy I just pumped full of led.

No I don't want to go in cover in plain sight while trying to roll away.


No no no.

100% agreed.

Really? Is there a youtube video or something?

There was a YouTube video that displayed all of the hero skins, and they appeared there along with other character spoilers. It has been removed.

 

[H_Prestige]

Had a great game with the GMAL. Very precise weapon. This game is starting to grow on me now.

 

[C0D3]

You would think from UC2 they would have learned a little bit about proper button mapping.

 

[daxter01]

ND for love god add more stopping power

 

[alr1ght]

they still haven't fixed the pulldown camera issue...

looks like level cap is 75

 

[jett]

According to my stats I'm 20 hours in, holy crap. Anyway, I'm truly having a lot of fun.

 

[baekshi]

Oh man.. ND is forum is so hilarious, they are trying so hard.. lol

Can you blame them? They're trying to give away the remaining unlock codes via Twitter, where they get snapped up in seconds.

Of course, there are a bunch of complete idiots who think everything is a conspiracy theory, so...

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

im having a ton of fun, got two of my friends to join in on the subway promo. But damn, sometimes the shooting just feels so wrong. Maybe its because im still just level 16 and I haven't gotten to the good guns. But the AK sucks for goign into iron sights, and when i try to do my usual spray ak into melee like in uncharted 2, it doesn't seem to work that well. I cant get the AK hipfire perk till I level up more. Just seems there is a steep curve until you get past level 25???

But there are two different 75 emblems on the leaderboards, so they probably have some sort of prestige bullshit.

 

[NeoUltima]

Nothing like getting blindfired by the T-bolt. Infuriating way to die.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

I feel like all of those boosters would be fine and fair except for

1) Medal buddy - Getting the cash from the medals would be fine but getting the actual medal and it being in your records. Hell no! Earn that shit your self.

2) The mega bomb - One grenade on huge explosion. This was in the first beta but only in the Co Op section, taking that kickback would be hella cheap in the regular multiplayer.

ND: Now with this kickback you don't even have to aim with your grenades. Just casually throw it out and watch as you get easy group kills including your own death.

Guess since there's a hardcore mode, I accept the crazy boosters and kickbacks as just pure, cheap fun. No way that mode is meant for competitiveness with that amount of cheap shit going on.

Exactly my thought. I only started having fun once I played Hardcore exclusively. Those kickbacks and boosters sound bloody awful. I mean, heal wounds 70 percent faster and cluster/mega bombs? Noobs are gonna hate the shit outta MP cause they will be hopelessly out powered.

Had some awesome three team deathmatch games with gyrian yesterday. Here's a little video showing that aiming does indeed work in this game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g27lVD0p44&feature=channel_video_title

It's a shame that the youtube uploads are of such low quality, yet they're of a moderately high bitrate. I don't understand it. Edit option's really nice, it already takes enough time to upload these small snippets. You can even fast forward while you record.

It's part of the game.

Honestly I kinda get more frustrated on Hardcore than anything else. Health is WAY too high in that mode. I'll take the occasional quick boom/RPG death compared to the bullet sponge mode with no weapons.

No kickbacks, no boosters, no power weapons, more health, FINAL DESTINATION!

What's next are we going to have to count the number of times we grab the ledge!

 

[LowEndTorque]

Naughty Dog, if you are still following this thread:

Please, please, please don't change anything. The game is playing beautifully now.

I don't know exactly what changes have been made since the last time I played, but weapon balance feels perfect now, stopping power is perfect, aim/hit detection is perfect.

Please go on vacation now and don't touch the MP anymore.

EDIT: Blindfire is still OP though.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I wish people would stop picking legacy maps with recolored textures. Molten Ruins is fine and all but the news maps are a bit more enjoyable.

 

[jett]

haha kicking people off is incredibly satisfying

 

[Massa]

The game is great now, I'm loving it.

Played in some GAF games before. It was fun.

Seriously it is so fun. Nice video. I need to try and upload something. I haven't messed with it yet.

 

[Boombloxer]

Ok, have a fairly good grip on everything now.

Even though I can do it with regularity now, still have mixed feeling about throwing back grenades in general.

No I don't want to pick up a micro over the grenade next to it.

Yes, I would like Pickup priority. Insert Idol for weapon and it's the same thing.

Had some guys accuse us of using software after a few 5-0 Plunder stompings.

"You think we can't tell!? You think we don't know what that shit looks like?"

Apparently not.

Wife got reported because she went 58-12 one match. I'm happy with my 20ish kills and 3-4 captures. <3

Now that I can swing the treasure, it's like

Feels good.

There was an interesting glitch that happened to me yesterday. It was a Team Objective match in Yemen and it was Turf War. I was on my way to capture zone number 3, when I was being shot constantly. Anyway, I get inside the zone and there's a sewed off shotgun there someone had dropped. The instant I pressed triangle to grab it, I was sniped, but didn't die from the sniper shot despite me being in the gray screen when I was hit. Here's where it all goes wrong though...I regain my health, but I hear a heartbeat like when you're about to die. I aimed the sewed off shotgun since someone was entering the zone, and my character strafes toward and gets stuck in that animation while being a god in the sense that I couldn't die. So for the rest of the match, I was stuck in that strafing animation (couldn't move, couldn't aim, couldn't shoot) while being immortal. No one from the other team could capture that zone because I couldn't die. Guess what objective was afterwards? King of the Hill and guess where the hill spawned? In the place I was glitched at. The fucked up part is that this happened in the beginning of the match (had 3 kills, 2 deaths) and I ended up scoring the most points for the match despite being glitched like a fool where I couldn't move or do anything. :/

 

[alr1ght]

I had a FFA glitch before where everyone just died off one by one, and couldn't respawn. Was forced to quit out.

The best is when you spawn on a buddy, and there's a grenade, but it blows you up at your next spawn point, and the camera goes haywire.

Or, picking up the idol and it respawns right out of your hands. Or waiting for the spawn location to pick it up, and it spawns, only it spawns you elsewhere. Last one only happens within a few feet though.

Is anyone else controller stop working within the game? It'll be fine and then I can't move my guy etc. I can hold the PS button down and quit the game but it's getting annoying that I have to do that.

Holy fuck at the amount of character skins in the multiplayer.

There's a lot. They'll probably be some of the DLC skins, but dayyuuumm.

Here's a video that shows them all along with the MP maps, custom games options (which are severely lacking a shitload of options compared to UC2), and game modes.

Warning, the video does contain character/location spoilers so watch at your own risk.

The worst news ever for me:

Spoiler

4 skeleton skins. 2 for the heroes/2 for villains. they better be the loudest, Naughty Dog. BETTER.

I'm waiting for that Desert Village glitch to get fixed because it is WAY too easy to do it. I tried it once today just to see if I can do it, and I got it on my 2nd try.

Put up some blocking volumes there or something, Naughty Dog.

So what's the consensus on the best gun right now? Every gun feels a little lose to me. FAL was my favorite in U2...but there seems to be something wrong with GMAL though...

LOL, the KAL is hands down the best gun right now.

 

[EXGN]

Tried it for a little bit last night, was kinda disappointed. I played the U2 beta a TON and also hit the cap in the full game, and it just seemed like more fun to me. People feel like bullet sponges and with the new sprinting, it's really easy to lose someone after you've gotten the drop on them.

I'll play it a bit more to see if it gets better when I'm not level 1 pitted against all level 35 players.

M9 forever

Although the other day I was successfully rushed by KALtards, usually ends up with the both of us dead. Dumbasses.
