Uncharted 3 Multiplayer News in GamePro Magazine

Yeeeeah, baby we got sumthin' to hold us off('till the BTS video) :P

-They want Uncharted 3 to be the "go to game for PS3 multiplayer"

-More emphasis on multiplayer in U3. They felt like U2 mp couldve been a lot better if they had more time to work on it.

-Staying tip lipped on multiplayer, but the director cited Red Dead Redemption, Assassins Creed Brotherhood as influences.

-One thing they learned from U2 mp was that damage/health should be "the same or similar to single player". In other words, it's going to stay CoD-like with low health and quick kills. Perhaps to cater to noobs? The game felt more strategic and skilled when it took more bullets to kill, but unfortunately this will probably never come back in U3.

Well Naughty Dog, it

I don't mind the changes in regards to kills. It was pretty clumsy having to waste an entire clip with each enemy. While iI know it takes more skill like that it was barely near impossible to take out 3 or 4 enemies if you encountered them head on with just an AK47 or M4. Thats why the Shotgun got spammed pretty hard and everybody rushed to the power weapons at the start of a match.

I feel like they should let us customize our own characters/skins and as well let us choose our won starting weapons. A Free for All, Zombies/Yeti modes, destruction abd vehicles ala Bad Company 2 since it fits most to adventure games like these.

Thoughts?
What do want to see improved for UC3 Multiplayer

All Im gonna say is U2s multiplayer had a sense of balance I havent felt in many online shooters, probably why I went back to it so often.

Naughty Dog better not ruin it.

I just got Uncharted 2 and I'm new to UC2 online and they're already planning 1 upping it? :P
Olny thing I detest is the matchmaking system and the ugly texture pop-ins online...

and not being able to coock grenades (pull the pin out)

Add a bare bones team deathmatch and I'm good. Tired of scrubs running around with Pistole, Shotty, Rocket Launcher, Hammer etc.

I already find UC2 to be the go-to PS3 multiplayer so I'm sure UC3 multi will be pretty badass.

Meh, UC3 won't be anythign special, I don't et the hype.

"more strategic when it took more bullets to kill"? LOL at that. How is it "strategic" when you can practically take an entire clip and keep on going? That's neither strategic nor is it realistic. Count me as another one that hardly played this game online, but to me it seemed silly I could unload almost an entire clip into another player, then they would "roll" over to me and go *tap tap* with melee and I'd be the one dead. I'm not a COD fan, but that style is definitely more strategic.2Chalupas

I hardly say it's more strategic to kill someone in one hit in the back while you're camping from a mile away. When it takes many hits, the person being shot can react and win if they have superior aim. All the shooters that require skill take a lot of hits to kill...

Then update 1.05 came along and it was CoD in 3rd person.

I can't wait, however I didn't like the health after they changed it with 1.05 in Uncharted 2.

it felt perfectly balanced with the original gameplay, and I got to level 60 with it (which took a lot of time, considering the most you could get a match was 50k, and you needed 64million.)

Nobody wants a cod system, but geez, it shouldnt take 20 shots to take someone down. Then again, i could take on 2 or 3 at the same time and win if i had a m4.

I hope they have the same HP as the beginning of U2 MP, right after the beta, and then never touch it again. I hated how they changed things so often. Also they need to work on them glitches.

[QUOTE="nervmeister"][QUOTE="tonitorsi"]They want Uncharted 3 to be the "go-to game for PS3 multiplayer"Cherokee_Jack

We already just got news about Starhawk or Warhawk 2. I definitely can't wait to get it, Uncharted 3 will have a hard time beating out Warhawk 2 online. Let's also not forget Resistance 3 here, that's also looking to be an awesome shooter and the future Halo killer (:P). This sounds great, with April just starting, E3 is only two months away! I can't wait to have Uncharted 3 blow me away this E3 like Uncharted 2 did in E3 2009 showing off that level in the hotel with the helicopter. Uncharted 3, Starhawk, Resistance 3, TLG, and Godfield 3 :D.

No, that's what they meant about less health, it's going to be like how it is now. It was way too much in the beginning of U2 MP, it took a whole clip to kill someone and they could easily run away. It felt like the guns did nothing, it's much better the way it is now. You can kill people with a fair amount of bullets, but that person can also escape according to the situation.

Some people charged for the grenade launcher and RPG.

I charged for thee M4

Guess who got more kills.8)

love that gun. and the pistola

uc2 online has the most unfluid gameplay ive ever seen in my entire life

its like... gears of war but 3x as fast so its even less fluid AND NO SHOTGUN battles for actual skill.

theres a reason no ps3 exclusive has or ever will be MLG standard

Well I loved UC2 mp so something better is not a bad thing at all.

I found UC2 MP hand over fist better then Gears MP. Its was more fluid,much faster and the platforming witin made it even more fun.

Shirokishi_

This more or less. Very scared by this info :?

my biggest gripe with the MP was:

the unbalanced teams(why is it in every room lvl 50's vs lvl 8's lol)

the "matyrdom affect"

the different gamemodes that were picked ALL the time....we all know which ones(pistole and sniper and rpg)

EDIT: what scares me the most is the fact they feel like the MP was lackluster.....which means they are probably gonna change up the interface completely....lil nervous

They mentioned RDR and ACB. Not sounding good right now.

The MP in RDR isn't the best in turms of competitive MP modes. Never played ACB. ND don't F this up! And if they have an auto aim system like RDR I will never play the MP.

I loved RDRs online; killing a poor sap just minding his own business trying to get EXP from like a mile away using a super powered rifle with complete autoaim and then spawn killing them whenever they spawn is really fun actually.:D

exactly my point son

I hope they make finding a match in UC3 a lot easier than UC2

Lol, actually reading that is lulz worth, they basically said "A bunch of CoD fanboys were complaining that it actually required this concept called "skill" so we thought we'd eliminate that nuisance and copy CoD's nooby gameplay. In addition we decided we'd make our multiplayer more like two of the worst designed MPs there is. Even though UC2 was very highly acclaimed and everyone loved the multiplayer, we decided we'd completely change it up, as there's always good feedback whenDevs completely f*** up change the good, core,basic, gameplay mechanics."

Gears' MP was awful, it felt like you were controlling a tank (it's common sense Gears lacks any fluidity if you've playedo ne match), and you have only one life; most of the match consists of watching dull sniper stand off.

I'm not trying to act like UC3's online will be good (it'll probably be horrid), I was just sharing how RDR's not all that bad, but it's hardlya MP you com back to and enjoy.

Agreed. Uncharted 2 was one of my favorite MP modes I have played this gen easily, so hearing they are changing it is very dissapointing. Who knows though, maybe ND will surprise me :P.

[QUOTE="StealthMonkey4"]

[QUOTE="Grawse"]lol you always try sound like a Gears expert. Care to provide your GT since you always say UC2 is better?

Edit: Also how can UC2 be faster when you can't even sprint? UC2 is probably the slowest game around.

I don't know what mode it was, but you only get one life per round... so, it's you who doesn't have it I guess. YOu can check my GT, I haven't played it much (I actually played most of the time with my brother on a separate account), but I've played GeoW.

cloudfinal7 that should do it for my 360 account. I have played and I do own gears 1 and 2. I dont play much anymore online on my 360since I find live a waste of money. The game im awaiting for my 360 is ME3 as of now. The game just feels much more flued speed while gears is like controling a rusty tank. You can like gears as much as you want im not stoping anyone from likeing it. Its just imo uncharted 2 mp is just a all around better mp experiance. All I see gears has over it is the bloody violence which is pretty dang neat.
