[Twigg4075]

Fuck yeah. I've been wanting to play this again anyway. Sweet.

 

[Twigg4075]

If anyone else starts playing can you let me know if you have any issues? I played one game without any problems. Then the next two games I got 'Connection Error' messages after only a few minutes of playing.

new map "Fort" being released today for free. also double cash this weekend with doughnut drake and doughnut lazarevic as playable characters

PS3 owners will want to stay home on Black Friday. Why? Naughty Dog is releasing the first downloadable content for Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode this Friday, November 27. A title update will add "The Fort," a brand new multiplayer map supposedly based on the "Fortress" chapter of Drake's Fortune. According to the press release, "The Fort is a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes." There's a shotgun in the center of the map and an RPG in the crypt (the inevitable resting place of people on the wrong end of that weapon). Best of all, this update will be free.

Once the patch goes live at 1PM ET, Naughty Dog will also initiate a Double Cash weekend. Teams will have special skins in competitive matches: Doughnut Drake for the Heroes, and Doughnut Lazarevic for the Villains.

To further the discussion (and usage of said Donut Drake), here's a little news I picked up this evening:

Good point.

Anyone feel like playing?

 

[Leftwich]

I have still have yet to beat this game. COD has really taken me completely away from this incredible game.... maybe one day this week I'll beat it.

 

[Twigg4075]

Just fired it up and I'm downloading the update. Sweet!

 

[Twigg4075]

I played two games last night and was pretty terrible. I just played my first game with the update and probably had my best game ever, 12-4. Plus I was Doughnut Lazarevic. LOL.

 

[Twigg4075]

Ha! Back down to Earth. 8-12. The new map is tits though.

i played a few rounds today and i realized i like this game so much better than mw2. mw2 is a great game no doubt but i just find this game to be a lot more fun. still havent played on the fort yet though

"Fort"... I may need to fire this sumbitch up to get a break from Dragon Age...er, Modern Warfare 2. :yep:

The Fort level on Uncharted 1 = Anger issues... I look forward to my blood pressure rising soon.

i also like how they prettied up the interface on the main menu for multiplayer with some of your game stats and leaderboards. and they fixed out all the kinks on their website for your multiplayer stats.

I agree 100%. I think I just like 3rd person shooters better as a whole.

yeah i think i like it better for that reason as well. its also a lot more forgiving and less frustrating than mw2 imo . i played 3rd person recently on mw2 and liked it a lot but everyone i always play with was like oh no this is lame we cant play this. i was disappointed

That's why there's always UC2... :shifty:

My only complaints after being spoiled from MW2:
-Game speed is remarkably slower; especially if you played a round or ten on MW2 and then switch to this.

I popped in the game one night and it felt like the game was set underwater... as a result, some new to the game had the unfortunate circumstance of getting murdered via neck snappage.

-No way to really "prestige."

You buy everything and that's it, no more... unless you pick up the new DLC.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

^ it is a million times slower but i like it that way. i do however like the wider selection of guns/customizations and kill streak rewards in mw2. how awesome would it be if you could unleash some demon sasquatches or control that tank from the village after x amount of kills. mw2 obviously has a stranglehold on the MP market right now but i like that naughty dog is continuing support for this game especially with free stuff.

I would play enough to reach Level 60 if I got to drive the tank... hell, if I can control the machine gun like the AC-130, I'd play that shit all day.

I'm happy that the Naughty Dog guys are keeping up with this too seeing as they amount of people who pick this up come X-Mas time will be pretty good.

Still, fighting MW2 is like this => :banghead:

Now I know that the actually numbers next to your name aren't your actual rank (that's what the purple numbers are for) but I've definitely seen some people with some weird numbers and symbols. What do they mean.

Personally I love the slower pace and LOVE the 3rd person view. I can see a lot more and I prefer that. Of course I also loved the slower pace (at least with aiming) in Killzone 2 and I know a lot of people hated that.

I played last night with a good group of guys. The one dude, ChrisRocker66, was fucking hilarious.

This also beings back to something that confuses me. I just turned on my PS3 to shoot some of those guys a FR. I went to 'Recently Met Players' and it's just showing the last MW2 players I played with, and that was three days ago. No sign of the Uncharted guys. WTF?
