[PS3] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[JayDizzle]

Anyone wanna play?

I can get on for about 20 minutes.

Dammit Rylo, you suck.

On in a bit. :shifty:

 

[Rylo]

Wow this is taking unbelievably long to load up....

 

[hoodyallen]

I'm on Chapter 18, still loving it. I tried one game of elimination and got killed every time...

 

[JayDizzle]

GG Rylo.

Gotta charge that mic up everyday from now on though.

 

[JayDizzle]

Do all of you who play online have mics? I've never really been much of an online gamer so I don't have one, but it seems like it'd be necessary for something like co-op matches. I've just been playing elimination matches since there's plenty of people on there without mics that I don't feel like I'm missing out so much by not having one.

It's not necessary to have a mic for UC2 but if you want to talk mad shit against some dude who was "teabagging" you 5 seconds earlier, it helps to own one.

That and when you and your team come back against the same team twice in a row, it's good to have something better than just the IM system PSN has. :stupidsmile:

Let any of us know if you want to put a match or two in because when that new DLC comes out, scores of people are going to be playing.

 

[JayDizzle]

Been clapping up scrubs online... I can't help if every five minutes a LVL 5 person runs in the way of a few shotgun bullets. :smh:

Trying to play with Griswald but haters be booting me.

 

[JayDizzle]

GG Griswald.

You'd think this is all he plays because MFer is so good at it.

Also, it was fun putting 20+ up in one game, going Nightmare Mode on the other team:

What modes are the best to play? I've learned/gotten as much as I can from the single player, in terms of skills that is.

If you can get a group of people together that you can trust, I'd go for Plunder or King of the Hill.

Other than that, Deathmatch is great if you can stomach the randoms that seem to spew absolute bile at your mother 24/7.

Also, Co-Op's fun if you want to level up quick and easy, moneywise.

 

[hoodyallen]

I have to add some of you guys, I'd definitely be down for some team killing...just beware of my horribleness.

Everyone was horrible when they first got this game... just get more than one kill a game and you'll be set.

 

[hoodyallen]

Alright, playing without a mic is intolerable for me, as soon as I get one I'm gonna hit you guys up.

 

[JayDizzle]

Good tear tonight Jay. I use my headphones a lot when I play, which is why you see me without a mic.... I really want to get a pair of headphones that has a mic built in, but I'm moving into a better place soon (more soundproof) so I'm gonna hold off. The whole reason I use the headphones now is because my building I'm in is so shitty and people are such bitches - at all times of the day. And sounds are so important in this game.. they are the eyes in the back of your head. I can't stand playing with the volume low.

I could hear you though... your "USA, USA" shit had me lauging pretty good. You were talking enough smack for the whole team, lol. Good shit.

I gotta turn my TV down too after around 11PM... sucks but you don't want the neighbors calling the cops after another round of "YEAH BITCH WHAT!!!11"

Also, I gotta say that trading in the [FOOT] tag temporarily for the [USA] tag was the best idea I've been a part of so far...

Especially after seeing countless [ITA], [FRA] and [MEX] tags.

Gotta represent.

Going in for an early day at work but I should be with DLC by the end of the evening.

I've also uncovered some interesting news as to how they're handling the new maps:

Purchasing either the maps or the bundle unlocks an option in your online profile, which is accessible by pushing the square button on your controller.

As you can see in this set of screenshots, the new option is called “Matchmaking.” The option has two available options: “Default” and “DLC.”

Leaving the option at “Default” essentially tells our matchmaking system that you want to get into matches as quickly as possible. The matchmaking system will then prioritize your matchmaking based on the installed content.

The matchmaking system will first attempt to place you in matches where all players have the new maps installed – up to 10 players in competitive modes and 3 players in cooperative modes. If it cannot find an open slot for you, your party or create a new full match within a reasonable amount of time, the matchmaking system then expands its search and attempts to place you in any match using the original on-disk maps with open spots.

This does mean that you risk the chance of not playing the new maps very often until enough players with the new maps installed have entered the matchmaking pool.

Choosing the “DLC” option tells our matchmaking system that you want to be matched with players who also have the new maps above all else. This means you are essentially forcing yourself to ONLY play with players who also have the new maps installed. This can potentially mean long waits if there are no open slots in existing matches or if the system cannot create a new match where all players have the new maps installed.

If you have a party of friends who all have the new maps, have the “Matchmaking” option selected to “DLC” and THEN a new friend joins your party without the new maps, the system will recognize this and only place your party in matches playing the original on-disk maps to ensure that your party does not have to break up.
