for the easy way to jump, get onto the front part of the truck
the gunplay is better. M9 is pretty great for killing.

Not giving this game dedicated servers was the worst decision Naughty Dog has ever made.
I kill someone, but the kill doesn't register until 3-4 full seconds later. In those 3-4 seconds of delay I end up getting killed myself. It's bullshit.
Lag complaints aside though, I'm still having fun. Overall I love the game and I think it's fun as hell, but there is no doubt that the July beta was far superior. Especially with regard to the mid-long range gunplay.
All ND needed to do was keep the beta code the same and just keep adding more spit and polish instead of making such drastic changes to the gameplay. Pretty much everyone was happy with the beta so if it ain't broke, don't fix (ruin) it. Whatever....with so much hyperbolic bitching I doubt they will listen to any of us anyways.
One other thing I would love to see is the ability to customize the color of the aiming reticule. I find that white doesn't stand out very well against the background sometimes, making it difficult to aim. I think the option to change the reticule to a more bold color like red or lime green would help with my aiming a bit and add a bit of fun customization like the custom red-dots in blops.

I tried that once and fell to my death, lolz. In the previous beta the jump from truck to plane was easier to pull off...

Agreed, little has changed in the big picture. Long-range shooting is still absolutely awful unless you pick up the T-sniper thing.

It's weird but if you try to jump when your close to the railing they hang over the edge. Jump from a bit further inside the truck's trailer and they should jump onto the railing and up to the the plane.jett said:

the airstrip platforming seems exactly the same as the beta to me. I don't usually enjoy that part of the match too much, but I'm not having that problem.
I think G-MAL is easier to get kills with now thanks to stopping power. It does still seem like it's easier to get kills with AK-47/M9, though.
I look forward to future improvements, but I'm in the camp that at no point was this game "broken", the hyperbole here is insane. I always had fun with it.

theres a grenade on the yemen map near the heroes chest that you can't pick up. I'm trying to get the explosive expert perk and damn, it pissed me off.

thanks to the guys at ND forums I found the explanation for the framerate stuttering during the first 20-30 seconds of every match and when the scoreboard is displayed at the end... as dumb as it seems it's related to the leaderboards, the higher you're in there (be it in kills, points... whatever) the most likely you're going to suffer from this issue, if you switch to an alt account with 0 or very little playtime the problems go away... so ND, fix this shit!

Thanks Evan, please take the time to check your forums there are a bunch of threads discussing this under the "Uncharted 3 Subway experience" sub-forum.
We're already a bunch of people suffering from the same issue, playing on a different account with a low level character the performance reverts back to perfect from start to finish, loading is quicker and everything seems "smoother", even less laggy (a bug where the client keeps communicating with the stats data server and upload bandwidth/latency become affected?)
then if you play again on your main account the framerate issues, hiccups, slow loading, lag peaks and the "double beep" from the PS3 when you exit the beta client to the XMB are back in full force, as we all have tested this never happens playing a low-medium level character with average stats.
Could it be there is a computing-intensive process running in the background (exchanging info with the stats server) when you're high level + lots of medals and stuff? and of course this would explain the loss of performance.
Thanks again Evan.

God the grenade spam online is crazy.

I can write this and I will write this. You need more than one bullet for steel fist to work, except shotguns and sniper rifles. And I know this because many times I've calculated wrongly the amount blindfiring bullets I've pumped into an enemy only to punch him and have him not die.
I don't think there's a worse experience than playing Plunder on a team that has no interest in even attempting to score a treasure. Then on the flip side, getting hate mail because you scored the 5th treasure and "robbed" them of the chance to spend 10 minutes farming medals.

that could be me trying to get my explosive expert medal
so far in the last play session. cleared sunday stroll and frag em (so got explosive expert + the sprinting booster upgraded)
moved onto doing deposit/expansion now. I think I've cleared all the booster1 categories I want upgraded.
Not sure what the criteria is for taking over a expansion area but it seems hit and missy. But I've gotten 2 so far so its works. Very frustrating when idiots don't play team objective right.

So it looks like the new patch did some good? I've been skimming the official forum, there are still complaints but people seem happier. I rarely play betas because I like waiting for the final product, but I love reading any impressions about the progress.

to Evan and those affected by the "high level character + multiple, different medals and treasures" loss of perfomance (framerate, hiccups, lag peaks, slow loading, hard resets...)
full report from the tech-savvy guy @ ND forums who has taken a lot of time to investigate this issue:

Only play with Friends for this exact reason. Wife and I on Plunder is like cheating.
So after playing some more I'm a bit more displeased. I've only been rocking the gmail since I liked its accuracy in the beta but now I can't hit shit long distance with it. Also, explosions seem to have a small blast radius as grenades seem pretty useless unless your standing on top of them. Mostly everyone is just running around with the Uzi and punching which makes for a pretty boring game.
Love that London map though. The train stuff is a lot of fun. Not too keen on the sandstorm map or the nighttime one. They have kind of an ugly layout.

Well I can play the MP now without my console freezing up.
But, like the post Sara quoted above, I've been experiencing some massive framerate drops in all the games I play (maybe 20fps?). What's weird is that it doesn't last all game, just in pockets. It's also really noticeable when games end and the scoreboard comes up. The screen locked up for like 5 seconds, but would then bring me back to the lobby.
Also, once, when my console actually crashed, I lost all of my cash/medals/exp/etc that I had earned in the past hour when I rebooted my system. Which is ridiculous, since stats are saved on the server side and are not local to the console.
Anyways, on the new update.
The bullet slowdown is a start, but there isn't enough of it. Also, close range fights are still pretty common, since the sprint speed wasn't reduced (only the endurance). Aiming with the AK and GMAL feel the same to me compared to before.
Tuning the kickback cost of the RPG to 10 was a good call. But did the shotty and sniper kickbacks cost 10 medals before? If it didn't, then 10 is too high for those.
Finally, a lot of the stuff I mentioned earlier I still feel needs a look. Don't want to repost the entire thing, so you can find it here. The new tweaks make it closer to what's desirable, but it's not quite there yet.

played for a good while again and its slowly feeling like U3 summer beta again, sprint-melee-blindfire needs to be tweaked some more because people are still doing the same shit (albeit less successfully now).
hit detection doesn't seem to have changed much, plenty of people just running straight past bullets like its nothing.
got my kd back to 2 again after it was raped when playing with US, got 700k in the bank
too, hopefully the final game has some decent stuff to spend it on

yep massive host advantage US have over EU (same stuff as UC2), I wonder if the opposite is true. For all the praise ND guys deserve they should also be reprimanded a bit for being stubborn and not setting dedicated servers, p2p is just too laggy, too old and too awful for such a quality product they're making.

Did that happen in Syria? I spawned in the middle of a column or some shit and had to suicide as well.Fuzzy said:I spawned at the beginning of a match inside an object and couldn't move. I had to commit suicide with a grenade to get out.
For some reason, though, the game apparently registered me as walking or running all the time I was stuck, since I got the Sunday Stroll medal shortly before killing myself.

Exactly.
Without them, I will always feel like the multiplayer is a huge waste of incredible potential.
iNvidious01 said:
What an absolute shame. If ND was serious about making this a competitive "go-to" multiplayer game for the PS3, dedicated servers should have been a top priority.
oh well... bitching isn't going to change the fact that we aren't getting them, but I just hope ND is well aware of how upset most Uncharted multiplayer fans are with the game-breaking lag.

No dedicated server? What is the psn pass for this game about then?

If I don't get to keep my (still in progress) 35 rank by the time the game gets released I'm going to be very upset.
Very, very upset.

I have to agree. Honestly the only part of MP that I've been able to play from the Uncharted games have been the co-op. And although it's excellent, I want to play what I paid for and that is the competitive MP.
