Playing a little bit since the update. Feels much better but AK still seems useless from long range. The game's not where I want it to be just yet but its a good step towards the feel of the beta.

ND vision for the multiplayer doesn't necessarily needs to be focused on long range firefights, I believe all clues (small maps, blind fire, powerful melee, sprint...) lead to think they want a rather action-packed experience based on close/medium range encounters.

 

[Raonak]

played a few matches; I used to be pretty good in uncharted 2 mp. but dam, I got steamrolled. Shooting moving targets is so damn hard. I wish this had move support

 

[LowEndTorque]

Game feels a little better right now, but still not close to the greatness of the beta.

The G-MAL, which was such a blast to use in the original beta, is still complete and utter shit.

On Yemen I was on a tower and spotted an enemy just standing still holding a turret. I aimed down the scope with my G-mal (which was equipped with increased accuracy, no less) and lined up a perfect headshot. Pulled the trigger and... nothing. Not a single bullet landed. He stayed there standing completely stationary, so I re-aimed and fired again.... nothing. Not even a single hit marker. The target then runs away and disappears. I rage quit. I think I'm done for tonight.

It's funny that whenever Uncharted 3 shows up on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, nobody in the audience seems to give a shit lol. Great series but it has a long way to go until it's really one of the "huge" ones.

What games series are the "huge ones"?

 

[Always-honest]

What games series are the "huge ones"?

mario, call of duty, etc.

 

[Loudninja]

Hmm so people actually want auto-aim?

 

[Always-honest]

only if you can turn it off

 

[daxter01]

Hmm so people actually want auto-aim?

no auto aim sucks but when aiming mechanics, speed and gun recoil dont match game speed i think i rather have auto aim

 

[Pachterballs]

as if autoaim in a MP game selectable by choice isn't going to break the MP game more than all the other things you guys have spent the last xtheenth pages complaining about. If you can't aim; someone else can't aim either

 

[Loudninja]

Ok makes sense.

 

[Finalow]

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.

ok, how many bullets? 2-3, maybe 4? It doesn't change anything. This thing has to be fixed.

 

[electroshockwave]

There is no way I'm ever going to level up the scoped in booster. To get a The Long Ranger medal, you need 3 kills from a certain distant. You need 8 of them to level up the booster. I have 0 medals and I don't know if I'll ever get one considering how awful the sniper is.

Edit: woah, I was just in a match in the airstrip and it booted me off the game, but I didn't get any message or anything. Just saw the ring spin and I'm back in the lobby lol.

Yeah, I use the sniper a lot and I don't have a single Long ranger medal. I think may have gotten some in the beta by sniping guys out of the turrets on Airstrip but I don't even know what 70 virtual meters is. Is it possible to get it in Syria, Chateau or desert village, for instance? The only way I can see me levelling up scoped in is by camping as far away as I can from the action.

The medal doesn't even realy make sense for Scoped in. If I'm 70 metres from a target then I probably don't need scoped in.

I use the sniper a lot too and I don't see how it's possible to get one, yet alone 8. I can't even judge the distance that is required to get one of those medals. Some of the maps don't even lend themselves for that distance either since all the action happens in certain centralized places. Camping out at the opposite side of a map and waiting for a potential kill isn't my idea of fun and goes against my whole play style. And even IF you do camp, it still takes two or three shots to kill someone and with the speed of the players and recoil of the sniper...good luck trying to get successful kills from long range.

Tonight, I finally experienced the bugs people have been mentioning here and on the ND forums where the beginning drops in frames (runs like at 20fps) and on the Airstrip, the moving cars are all fucked up. In addition to the fucked up cars, there was constant black screens too and people wouldn't respawn back. This only happens in the 'cinematic' experience part of the Airstrip. In Syria, when the match began, I spawned inside of a rock and my screen was constantly shaking like crazy. I couldn't move or anything so I had to kill myself with a grenade.

 

[Thunderbear]

mario, call of duty, etc.

So Mario and COD would get bigger reaction from the Jimmy Fallon audience?

I somehow doubt it...

Seeing a museumish level with what appears to be an Egyptian sphinx on my matchmaking screen. There this and the earlier burning desert ruin map.

* aHhh expansionist medal = 5 captures in a game. No wonder its hard to get

Hm, it's pretty easy, I get it quite often.

 

[Irish]

i think i grip the dualshock too tight, i used to love this thing but then i got accustomed to the 360 pad and its much better. hope sony redesign this thing next gen

Nuh-uh. Small handed people are the ones who need to be catered to... and I'm included in that group.

Yeah, all the Uncharted 2 DLC maps seem to be in the game. I presume if you didn't recognize them as Museum and Flooded Ruins you don't have the UC2 DLC?

 

[Facism]

hoping we see some stock U2 maps too

 

[Pachterballs]

I've don't recall museum but I know I got the submarine and flooded ruins one...

* yeah lvled up deposit. trying to do treasure hunter now.

 

[Oni Jazar]

ND please put auto-aim back in, at least allow us to enable it. A lot of people frown on it, but honestly its necessary for a controller. Try aiming in real time with a 360 pad on New Vegas for pc aka can't hit squat unless you use VATS. All the people complaining about tracking enemies and hit boxes have to do with no auto-aim.

Also need to bump up stopping power, too many times someone runs through my bullets at mid range- hip firing and melee combo. Its really frustrating when you unload half an ak mag onto an enemy and they still kill you with the hip fire melee.

Agree with these. Especially the stopping power. Pumping some guy full of lead while they rush up to you and punch you dead is rage inducing.

 

[mikeybwright]

Here is a code

bne9-82nd-52d5

Hope one of you guys can use it

 

[Willeth]

Is Highrise in this yet? Went to a PlayStation event last night and they were playing Highrise and Desert Village only. Highrise is one weird map - hard to find anyone on a lot of the time, and when you do they're sniping.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I finally gave up on the L1 button and switched to the spray and melee method with the arm micro (blindfire accuracy mod) and the revenge booster. I won 5 out the next 7 deathmatches I played. I had only won one before with my UC2 methods.

The multi is severly broken.

 

[Grisby]

If you get any future codes visit the code sharing thread. Also, make sure you PM them so lurkers don't snag the codes up. Just for future use, .

Played some more games last night. Having more fun but going to try my Subway AK to see if that isn't a water gun like the gmail.

 

[Pachterballs]

acquistion medal. ARRGGggh.

that is all :O

You just made me realize that hardly anyone uses the turrets anymore. Dead center of every map is where the majority of action takes place. The sniper nests in that one map are rarely used compared to the beta. I can cry at the fact that it has been changed. Not that I'm a sniper, but because I prefer using the whole map and getting the drop on people, not just running into a firefight, spraying bullets and mashing square.

Don't believe so, it'll probably be added on Monday.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out additional updates to the full competitive Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience, including new maps and level cap increases. To kick off the second week of the promotion, we’ll be adding two brand new maps to the multiplayer experience on Monday, 10/10. So you’ll have a total of 8 competitive maps to explore! There also will be more videos with tips and info that will help maximize your Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience. Consider them your field guide and survival guide during the Subway Taste for Adventure and into the full retail release of Uncharted 3.

In-depth details about upcoming updates, the profile carry-over and its finer points, will be forthcoming as we roll up to the launch of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception on November 1st. So stay tuned to the blog for the latest info and good fortune hunting!

 

[Loudninja]

Oh thats cool so they goign to roll out content each week I guess.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Is there another PSN text chat for U3 multi? I entered the beta one but found it empty. I want to join you guys, to ride on the crest of your gaming prowess and look good in the process.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Oh wow just got the kal-7. No wonder the above 31's are so good at spraying and praying! :0

 

[iNvid02]

wait until you can add blindfire accuracy mod to that, exactly why it needs to be fixed asap

the new content sounds good, but i hope their main focus is listening to the fuckton of
feedback they're getting

 

[jett]

ND has crossed out sprinting from their bugfix list. I hope they aren't done looking into that...but it really does seem like they enjoy that crap and how the game currently plays.

 

[Pachterballs]

upping level cap? :OOO

fuck yeah

upping level cap? :OOO

did i miss something?

Indeed, i rather see shoulder switch on that button

 

[RDreamer]

Even though it's not quite where it should be yet the recent changes are like night and day compared to what it was to begin with. I was actually hitting and killing things from a distance with my AK!

Wait, how many maps are they adding in? Right now we have 6 right?

London
Syria
Yemen
Desert Town
Chateau
Airfield

Did they say how many there will be in the end?

 

[Pachterballs]

RANT:

just completed a level where i picked up 4 pieces of treasure but didn't get the acquisition medal. why? Because 2 of them were the same. 2x2. grrr

Nope, however we do know that there is highrise, museum, facility and flooded ruins to look forward to.

Also whatever map this one is. Appears to be modeled after a UF area

 

[alr1ght]

^ that's flooded ruins

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ok, cool. Thanks.

Btw, Jesus, the MM is usually good, but this one time was fucking horrible.

It put a party of 4 people who were all level 35, and put it against me and my team of 2 level 1's, a level 7, and a level 13.

It was a full out fucking massacre.

 

[jett]

It's a map from UC2, modeled after a UC1 area. They've shown I think 4 remakes from UC2 so far, all from the DLC packs. High Rise, Museum, The Facility and The Flooded Ruins. Well technically Museum and The Facility have only appeared on the UC3 demo menu so far, but it's an easy guess that they're maps.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Jesus, was the beta released somewhere recently? I'm getting stuck with greens constantly.

 

[jett]

btw you can see how Flooded Ruins looks like in UC3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViPiplipXu0

Not really all that flooded anymore.

 

[Rikyfree]

I really don't think that background is flooded ruins. I've seen the flooded ruins background in the demo more than three times already. It looks nothing like that.

 

[electroshockwave]

Flooded Ruins is definitely on fire whenever I've seen it in the background. What does it look like for you?

Everytime i watch something with Nolan North in it i laugh.

The same. But the picture I posted was definitely not flooded ruins.
