those asking for more variety, this is not all the maps/modes

 

[Jocchan]

I just realized that, even though I absolutely loved the July beta (after a few patches) and I'm feverishly anticipating the full game, I only had a chance to play the current multiplayer once the first day (got to level 11) and I'm not missing it one bit.

 

[ionicbluebird]

Is anyone actually enjoying the MP yet?

I actually just started enjoying it tonight. Seems they have tweaked a few things since the beginning... it feels to me a little closer to the summer beta.

 

[jett]

Here's the thing with kickbacks and "cinematic" moments in multilpayer, my opinion is that Naughty Dog included all that crap solely for the sake of game reviews. "Cinematic moments the franchise is known for transcend into multiplayer, with maps made up of moving trains and airplanes, exhilarating stuff. 9.5/10!" *game reviewer never plays more than 45 minutes of MP*

Anyway, I don't know who ND is developing this game for, but certainly not for gamers.

 

[Samus4145]

Screw the haters, I quite enjoy the first sequence to the airstrip and train maps.

Is anyone actually enjoying the MP yet?

I think its addicting, enjoying it as much as I did the beta and UC2. Theres some modes I just wont touch (hardcore, plunder apparently, seems people found ways to make it annoying just like when they would farm medals and money in the past game), but Objective is fun.

 

[electroshockwave]

I certainly don't miss the cinematic stuff when I'm playing objective modes or hardcore. The plane and train intros are the sort of thing you see once then you get over it, perfect for reviewers like jett said.

I saw the

frozen Facility

as my background. So, I presume the 3 more maps we'll get are it,

Spoiler

the fiery ruins and evening Highrise.

Also, I know the M9 was useless in the beta but to me it seems like it's been buffed a little too much for extra damage (not sure but it is the one value they haven't given for guns). I'm frequently outgunned against it at distance when I'm using the G-MAL and that shouldn't really be happening. Unless I'm just shit.

 

[left_senseless]

I'm enjoying the beta. the blind fire/ melee is annoying but if you catch them early and walk back enough your bullets start to slow them down. at first, I was happy about removing the ability to drop a quick grenade before death, but with blind fire being op, I think I wish it was back to balance the runner and gunners a bit.

 

[Facism]

g-mal seems to handle better, but that may be me being used to how shit the ak is and changing

 

[RDreamer]

I learned that the AK isn't quite as shit at aiming if you remember to zoom in every time you use it. Really shouldn't have to zoom in to get non-shit aiming, but it's something. I got quite a few decent distance kills yesterday and had some great games once I learned that.

 

[Loudninja]

ND -

I love you.
I really do.
However, I want to make one suggestion-

Please delay this game. The game is an absolute mess.

Where is my -

1. Variety? I want my Rockets only matches. There needs to be games with some sort of level variance in the games. Snipers only, Rockets only, and Pistols only matches in the original Uncharted 2 definitely were awesome fun. Imagine a match were speed is increased by four or five.

2. The climbing is still a bit clunky.

3. Echo all the rest of the shit about blindire- etc.

You have to be joking right?

Sometimes ppl forget their is a month left for the game to release and most are playing the mp for free

Hyperbole @ the game delay comment. The mp game can always be patched. What a bunch of crybabies.

This isn't what I want to adapt to, though. I miss seeing a more controlled chaos in battles.

 

[Duffyside]

Right on. A lot of people think that games only cost $60 too, but I'm glad that a person like you understands that you have to pay for sales tax, gas to get the game, food that refills your own body's tank from the energy you have to spend to go get the game, the electricity bill for playing the game, the wear-and-tear on the hardware itself as you're playing which ADDS UP, the money that your'e losing by not doing something productive instead, and don't even get me started on this whole "need to breathe oxygen" thing.

When all is said and done Uncharted 3 is going to cost 784 billion dollars. Naughty Dog and Sony should be ashamed of themselves, and I'm glad there are people like you, Rebel Leader, who are fighting the good fight in bringing this cause to the public eye. #OccupyReason

 

[jackb2424]

I guess Im in the minority here but i'm in love with this game. Its just fun to play. I played the summer beta and enjoyed it then and think they have improved. I'm not that big into multiplayer games so I don't pick apart everything thats wrong with it. The only gripe I have is the recoil and thats all. Also when the desert storm arrives in the desert stage that is pretty damn cool.

The game will be gold in a matter of two weeks. They aren't going to break anything. The reality is, they need to flip a few switches and iron the kinks out.

Hey! I know you're being facetious but UC2 is the game that gave my 40 phat YLOD! >:l Had to shell out an extra $250 just to get a shot at playing UC3 lol

[Downhome]

I must be a moron. Where do you put the code that is on the cup? It isn't long like a normal PSN code.

 

[left_senseless]

I understand where you are coming from and I enjoyed the hell out of the summer beta, but it took a bit of adapting for that to click too. as a gamer I have come to expect a level of adaptation with every new game. granted I end up with complaints here and there, but overall I think ND have crafted a solid experience. they might be able to tighten up net code and possibly initiate player movement reduction a bit sooner when it comes to blind fire/melee abusers. who knows though? that might ruin the traversal mechanics...

edit: this was in response to moonsaultSlayer. who I attempted to quote, but failed miserably.

 

[Downhome]

Ugh, found it. I am on my phone and it wasn't showing up on the Subway site for me.

 

[Pachterballs]

well, ... yeah, you don't accumulate XP past lvl 35 - despite what seems to be the game giving you XP on screen. I finally caught on to it when it seemed to keep going up to 695k again and again. The bar fills up; but because you don't level up, it resets to whatever it was before.

so... disappointing!


2 assassin medals down - 3 to go. Man, these are tough. I can only get 1/match and that's in a 20 minute plunder game.

The afterlife medal is even harder to get. I have the booster on but its practically impossible to get. just wow.

lol well they can keep doing what they're doing. i love this game
although i will agree the intro to london underground and the airstrip don't really add much.

[Rikyfree]

Fucking idiot KDR whores play Plunder.

We're on Syria, the idol spawns on top next to the lower sniper and the random on our team is just fucking sitting there trying to snipe. So I says to Mabel, I says "Yo guy, you're right next to the idol, throw it down."

*guy sits there*

"Hey whateveryournameis, throw down the idol!"

*guy sits there*

:l *I nade his stupid ass and get the idol myself*

----

We did have one really good game of Plunder tonight against another party that knew what they were doing and -- amazingly -- not exploiting the buddy spawns. It lasted ~15min, trading off captures until we managed the final two in the last 5min. Everyone ended up with about 30 kills a piece.

I feel the exact same way. I don't care if you're on my team, I see you pulling that shit, you're gonna get TK'ed.

@electroshockwave: I have all the DLC maps, so I can't really know. However I have seen all those backgrounds as well.

 

[thetechkid]

Ran into a whole clean of all lvl35 players and it was the worst game yet.

 

[Grisby]

Started playing this last night. Kinda meh on it so far. I love the vertically styled layout but other things seem off. Maps look nice aside from that nighttime one.

I'm only lvl 8 but I think its really cool to be playing the MP a month before release so thanks ND and Subway!

 

[darkwing]

if it was me, I just get out of that game lol

 

[la flama blanca]

If they scrapped this and replaced it with launch Uncharted 2 MP, I'd buy two copies of the game.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Game is fun. That's it for me.
The sooner the people, who are not enjoying themselves, move on from this, the better.

[Zoibie]

I don't understand why so many people complain. I am addicted to the multiplayer.

Well it's not bad, but it's really baffling that ND would make these changes when everyone loved those aspects about the beta (well, apart from the sprinting being a bit useless.)

 

[Darkatomz]

Can somebody who regularly uses the AK check something? I picked one up by accident during a match, and I think ND changed the recoil and aim reticule back to what it was in the beta (basically what the M9 is now).

Also, I'm fairly sure the blindfire accuracy has been reduced since the first day, but there's no way to check that.

Also curious is that if changes are indeed being made, the patch version isn't changing. It's been at 1.04.14 since the MP started.

Nothing has been changed. What you probably picked up was an AK47 with the accuracy mod.

It makes the AK more manageable, but is a far cry from the beta. Fuck, if you want to do anything with that gun, you will need the accuracy mod for it.

W.T.F ... there is no Rockets only match any more???????? NOOOOOOO

I just downloaded it last night and would try it tonight...but don't like what I am seeing in this thread ...has ND lost its way?

How does this compare to U2? If you liked U2 MP would you like this?

 

[DigiMish]

Rockets only games were available via the Lab in UC2. Seeing as how successful it was in UC2, there's no reason to think it won't be in UC3 when it ships.

Also, you can make private matches for your rockets only games.

RPGs-only used to be on the regular playlist. I'm not sure if it was removed, ND did a playlist refresh last year. Sadly they never added the awesome pistols-only plunder mode to the regular playlist.

If you're reading ND, please don't do that for UC3. Your pistols fucking suck dick now.

 

[Uno Venova]

I don't understand why so many people complain. I am addicted to the multiplayer.

It's a noticeable step down from the beta to a lot of people, I don't see what there is to not understand.

 

[Papercuts]

I loved UC2 MP(before the health change) and find this to be some of the most unfun MP I've ever experienced. Maybe you'll like it, but to me it feels nothing like UC2.

 

[gibration]

I always thought activating a medal kickback took away the cash you received from those medals so I never used it. I feel so stupid now. All those times an RPG could have come in handy.

 

[Facism]

Pretty much. The game was close to godlike when the beta ended, only needed a few more fixes or balances.

It's not terrible in it's current state, but it definately feels like a game that suffered from being exposed to the same Sony focus group that shaped KZ3's mp.

 

[darkwing]

missions dont work either right? I'm doing them and no money adds up lol.

it seems to be just some that I actually complete and it derps like i did not.

which mission specifically?

 

[Pachterballs]

when you complete a mission it will say:

eg

fisticuff mission complete and $9000 awarded.

I always thought activating a medal kickback took away the cash you received from those medals so I never used it. I feel so stupid now. All those times an RPG could have come in handy.

lol.

love the kickback rpg. I always seem to miss though. :'(

 

[firehawk12]

I feel the exact same way. I don't care if you're on my team, I see you pulling that shit, you're gonna get TK'ed.

I ran into a clan going for kills on Plunder. Some members of the clan got matched on the other team, so they also avoided killing each other.

I really wish there was a way to say "Don't play with people who have clan tags".
