So just because the single player out shines the multiplayer its just an add-on? Naughty Dog had TWO teams working on the game. 1 for the single player and the other for the multiplayer. Uncharted 2 has LOTS of diffrent modes. (i heard it has 15 from ign). all you guys have played is a beta that feutures 2 maps and 3 modes. sure the multiplayer isnt ground breaking but so what. ground breaking games dont come out as often as you would think. if you think that uncharted 2 multiplayer is just a add-on then what would gears2 online be? at least uncharted 2 wont be released with a lag fest multiplayer that just made the game unplayable and host cheating or w.e its called. the first gears had a better multiplayer then the second imo. the only reason ppl dont call gears2 multiplayer just a "add-on" is because the single player is just not good enoguh to out shine it. the only thing i liked about gears 2 is the horde mode but guess what uncharted 2 has the same mode also.

just look at this Video...does that look like an "add-on" to you? does that beutiful graphics, beutifill level design look liek an "add-on" to you? what does gears have that U2 doesnt? a chainsaw? ok...U2 has stealth kills, platforms to climb, a live feuture that allows the devs to update the multiplayer without the use of a PATCH, so when you think you know where somthing is, its going to be moved somewhere els, that way it keeps the game fresh. a cinema mode like halo 3 but better. perks to use, skins to unlock, and more...

so please, the critics have played the multiplayer and had NO negative things to say about it.

MP of any kind is an add on. Unless the game is only about MP (TF2, Counterstrike etc.) MP is just something there to increase the replay value of a game.

Theres really nothing about the multiplayer that makes it any different from what we've seen already. Theres *no* reason to drop your current fav multiplayer game for Uncharteds one.

There is nothing about it apart from perhaps being able to clime stuff and hang off things that will drag me away from more unique FPS like TF2.

Having been part of the beta I can say this is not a selling point for the game. I will enjoy the singleplayer and probably never play it again. The market has to many amazing online games to waste time with this.

This is getting out of hand really.... I know it's your opinion but if a game is fun as **** what the hell does it matter? It bothered me when cows claimed Gears 2 does nothing, it bothered me when everyone says MW2 does nothing, and now with Uncharted. Sheesh :lol:. --- Uncharted will be a unique experience to an extent. No TPS has gameplay that revolves around platforming, cover, run and gun, and extensive melee mechanics in one package. And the cinema mode is the most fleshed out in any game to date. On top of that the co-op. Point is: It's enough. --- Now if it doesn't pull you away from another favorite game of yours then that's something else. The game stands out more than enough, even in this shooter drenched market.

They have two separate teams working on each component (MP and SP). It won't be an "add-on". Some people may not find UC2 multiplayer "fun" though. But it's definitely not an "add-on".

I'm not saying U2 is definitely better than all other TPS out there (Ex. Gears). But UC2 is definitely unique and fun enough (yes I've played it) to stand with the top tier shooters. I will say it again: Uncharted 2 has UNIQUE GAMEPLAY. As for Socom 4, Zipper will bring the franchise back to it's former glory and reign supreme :P.

Not exactly in every case. Games like COD, Resistance 2, Halo, and KZ2 do NOT have 'add-on' MP. They have 'two components', a single player and multiplayer. In the case of these games, more attention and resources were actually put into the multiplayer components. This yielded great results for longevity in these games. --- Now, games like Dark Sector, Bionic Commando, and Condemned 2 unfortunately have 'tacked-on' multiplayers. --- Of course you have games like Team Fortress 2/ Warhawk, which does multiplayer only (and perfectly). But on the flip side you have MP only games like Shadowrun and Socom: Confrontation. Great games on their own, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're better than the MP component of Halo 3.

I think MGO was a ad on (a very bad ad on) and it seems like there where a lot of people that had fun with it.

MGO was developed to be an entire game on it's own (and it actually is). But since MGS4 and MGO release dates were very close together they decided to give MGS4 owners a stripped down version. MGO is really special. The online structure Konami implemented REALLY hurt it... BAD. I know they won't be doing that any more :lol:.

I think it's because of how drakes fortune didn't include any MP so it was played purely for it's story, the same maybe thought of uncharted 2, people want the story over the MP. Still there are a lot of online features so if anyone does consider the MP an add on, it's one big and free add on.

IF MGO was released on its own, it would be the lowest scoring Metal Gear game ever!
