http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/07/15/uncharted-3-multiplayer-beta-concludes-is-largest-ps3-beta-ever/

Sadly, theUNCHARTED 3Multiplayer Beta came to an end earlier today,racking up over 1.53 MILLION unique playersparticipating! This makesUNCHARTED 3the LARGEST online beta to appear on the PS3. I cannot describe how awesome everyone in the Naughty Dog studio feels about hitting this milestone – we couldn't have done it without you, our fans and community!

Below, we've collected some jaw-dropping stats from the Multiplayer Beta. You guys were busy!

-Total unique Beta players:1.53 million people

-Total kills:1.9 billion

-Total Cash collected:1.4 TRILLION dollars (that's greater than the gross domestic product of Spain, the eleventh highest GDP in the world!)

-Total shots fired:48 billion

-Total matches completed:22 million

-Total time played:More than 362 years worth of matches

Just to keep the spirit of the thread, here are some Gears 3 beta stats

http://majornelson.com/2011/05/18/gears-of-war-3-pre-order-top-1-million/

Over the course of four weeks,1.29 million players played more than 11 million multiplayer matches.Here are some of the other interesting stats:

- 145 different countries participated in the beta
- 249 years worth of matches played
- More than 11 million matches completed
- More than 927 million kills recorded
- More than 131 million executions performed
- More than 23 million deaths by chainsaw
- Nearly 23 BILLION bullets fired
- 4.9 billion ribbons and 291M medals earned
- 435K people earned the Beta exclusive Thrashball Cole skin to use in the retail game when it launches in September
- 234K people earned the Beta exclusive Gold Retro Lancer to use in the retail game when it launches in September

Jus saying. Seems like cows were actually PLAYING the beta, and not just "snatching it up cuz its free" then not touching it again, like some implied here.

For those of you who didnt get the just of this thread, Uncharted 3 players, despite having only 240k more players, they still doubled the amount of matches played, players killed, shots fired, and most importantly have spent over 100 more years playing the Uncharted 3 beta.

Wow! Thise are incredible stats for this game. I wish I can try it one day.

I snatched up both because they were free (last week of the beta, someone gave me a Gears 3 code thanks to the share the beta phase Epic did) and didn't play much of either :P.

I'm just not a big fan of either Uncharted or Gears.

Holy crap do people like to bullet spam or what. Chill out guys, you're meant to look down the sights and shoot bursts at most, single shots are prefered. My god...

I know I played the hell out of it. Level 30 baby! :PUCF_Knight

[QUOTE="UCF_Knight"]I know I played the hell out of it. Level 30 baby! :Ptormentos

But I think I was lvl 32 or something. But I cant f***ing check because I dont remember what I changed my PSN password to, and Sony still hasnt put back up their password recovery page after that exploit was found so I cant recover my f***ing password, meaning I cant log onto Naughtydog's website to check my stats. :roll:

Best beta i ever played

Why is it only showing my kills? :P

lol still comparing an open beta to a closed one.

Holy ice cream on a driveway in the 4th of July, people cannot aim at all. Luckily I used the Dragon Snpier, so no spray and pray for me :D.

Nice to know that so many loved the beta considering...

I'll probably never touch the multiplayer for Uncharted 3.:lol:

I only played one match lol, yea i'm waiting for the single player

Just incase any of you guys missed it, the first quote is Uncharted 3 beta stats. The second quote is Gears 3 beta stats. Somehow,despite Gears beta being longer, anddespite Uncharted's beta beating out gears player count by only about 200k, Uncharted 3 players still managed to more than DOUBLE the amount of matches completed, as well as more than DOUBLING the amount of kills and shots fired.

All im saying is, people were saying that PS3 owners were just getting the beta cause its free, but it turns out they are actually playing that s*** as well, not just DL'ing it for the hell of it.

:/. Oops. Does this still hold true for the AK? Lol, I probably accounted for a **** of those bullets. I got to Rank 30 and was pretty decent though.

Multiplayer was a lot of fun for me. This is going to shock people, but I'm buying U3 more for the multiplayer than the single player....I know its shocking for me to say that to lol. I just had a lot of fun, and I can see U3 being my multiplayer game of choice for a long time coming. Theres one piece of bad news though. In my opinion, U3 is so much better than U2's multiplayer that I'm having a hard time going back to it. I liked U2's multiplayer a lott, until this beta. Now I have no multiplayer games to play :(

[QUOTE="Grawse"]

[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"] Lol, Uncharteds beta only had a 240k lead. How did it then, still manage to more than DOUBLE Gears 3's amount of matches completed, player kills, and its shots fired, as well as racking up over 100 years MORE worth of playtime? Not only did it have more players, but it had a disproportionately larger amount of time spent actually playing the beta than Gears did. Why were people playing Uncharted's beta so much more, considering Gears players had more incentive to play since they had to actively go out and pay for the beta?

The fact that the beta was open means nothing. There were roughly the same amount of players, only 240k more, yet the matches played, player kills, and shots fired, were still double Gears 3's, as well as the time spent playing the beta was much higher. 1.3 million people is still 1.3 million people. Doesnt matter if its open or not. In fact, that just stacks the odds against Uncharted since people have no incentive to play it again because they didnt pay for it. You could just as easily expect Uncharted players to just DL'it, play for an hour, then not touch it again.

when I do dive in I'm going to get owned hardcore.tomarlyn

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="Grawse"]Your stats are all based on UC3 being an open beta. The first week of the Gears 3 beta was for Bulletstorm owners and VIP. While everyone on PS3 had access to it. Can`t make it any more simple. Let`s compare the stats when the games release. UC3 will get stomped because 7k people will be playing the MP after a month like UC2.

It was fun for a bit, kinda got boring fast, but that's probably because I've played UC2 multi. :P Shame I missed the co-op though.

Beta slightly dissapointed me. Besides the co-op and graphics, almost everything was an improvement. But it seemed to be missing something. As long as the single player is real good I won't care.

average of 24 bullets to kill a person in each game :P. It also seems that uncharted is much more fast paced than gears. Oh well.Androvinus

[QUOTE="Grawse"]

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"] Look at it this way : 1.53million UC3 beta players vs 1.29million gears beta players. Whether it was open or closed has nothing to do with the number of matches played or total kills._Cadbury_

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="Grawse"]I`m curious how many of those kills were co op.

[QUOTE="Grawse"]

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"] Probably none. they've never included co-op kills in any of their stats on their site. But either way total time spent playing is the more interesting statistic. shows how much people must have loved it._Cadbury_

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="Grawse"]Probably a lot. They never tracked co op stats on their website? Really, then what is this

You're assuming that both beta's had their max number of players for the same amount of time.

Did you ever consider that UC3 due to how it was released (to anyone with a PS3 and net connection) could've had more players during the whole course of the beta and that because of the Gears 3 code giveaways later on in the beta, had less time with the bulk of the people who had access to it?.

I got to level 28 and found it actually gets better the more you play. It's unfortunate they only included three maps and like two main characters. More people probably would have continued to play it if they had included a little more. Having to wait until level 20 or higher before you start to unlock skins and emblems was also kind of dumb.

i missed it, i was visiting family :( :P
