I know exactly what you're talking about. I've experienced this with a few games. I think Uncharted was one of them. Just wait until 3D TVs are commonplace...that will be insane.

I'm sticking to BFBC2 beta until it ends then go back into Uncharted 1/2 again.
Shit we got crushed by the other team in that plunder game 5-2, I think we kept shooting at the same target and we were constantly getting flanked, other than pwnager who was positive we were all minus 16-20, I think me and Ryanardo took the brunt of the beating, it was pretty brutal, we could probably use better team work but I guess towards the end most of us were just trying to stay alive, the lack of aggressiveness probably got us killed even more.
I think I took out my anger on the next team we played in the fort, anyway gg.

The most annoying teams to play in multiplayer are those who will be down 20 points and then just begin to soley rely on the Pistole, Desert,and that other gun to win. It is so cheap, and rediculous lol.
ALso another booboo , on Plaze if you are in cover by the pillars scattered around and you kill someone, then you end up getting stuck in the middle of the pillar and must kill yourself with a grenade to get out. happened to me today

how do you view the online games - or send them once you've uploaded them? I've got a pretty awesome plunder game where near the end, I ended up with a SAS, ran to the enemies and blasted 4 of them in succession, enabling us to put the damn thing in.... and getting that trophy in turn. I want to send the video to someone else. How to?

Interesting. Though they should give us double cash this weekend too 
since we are lab rats.
But anyway, 65% lower health on every game type, Micro will be my best friend all weekend then.

This is correct, Plunder Only is a permanent addition to the playlist roster in matchmaking.
kilgore! does this mean you're coming back now since we've added Plunder Only?
as for double cash, we're working on the issue still, so not this weekend. I'll post an update to the blog when I can provide a bit more info.

when I saw 'Plunder Only' added over 'Deathmatch Variants' or 'Crushing (All)', a single-tear rolled down my cheek

true, true. I'm going to enjoy playing this weekend. I haven't been playing much in the last week or two, but the damage alteration is as good an excuse as any to get back into the game (I missed out on last weekend double cash weekend, which reminds me, I need to check out the new map).arne said:

I know neogaf loves anything hardcore so Crushing on multiplayer looks heavenly to some of you guys but you do realize that Crushing will make the multiplayer a game of who sees whom first ala MW2, right?
Before if you had the skill you could kill the person who started shooting first now you just won't be able to. Not to mention that with the lag the end result of two players who started firing almost at the same time will always be the same as the punch outs: both dead. Overall it will become more casual.
Be careful what you wish for.

Yeah. I couldn't even stay away if I wanted to. Regardless of how broken DTI and FF seems to be, it's still my favorite multiplayer experience.
Why is Crushing not the same type of Crushing in custom? Afraid people won't play it without boosters?
Oh, and server-side updates FTW.

I think most of us were hoping for it to have no boosters.

Okay, so I've been thinking I'm going to "turn a corner and the game will end" since
. I keep expecting to enter one more area and then have a final confrontation, but the game keeeeeps onnnn goinnnggg.. Not that I'm complaining, I think this game seems a million times longer than Uncharted, and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODMeisterJ said:
They did the wrong one!!! Take boosters away :'(
I'd rather have a no boosters mode than 65% health.
Now DTI will be even more effective. BLAH But I guess this means 1 hit melee deaths? That should be pretty awesome!
The whole reason I wanted a crushing playlist was for the no boosters + less health (moreso the "no boosters" part)
Plunder only should be cool though
Heh great..now there are coop griefers.
Be VERY careful playing coop gold rush. This guy I'm in a game with is refusing to even try looting the treasure after everyone has died.
Thanks to pathing problems on the new map, he can effectively lock the game forever by sitting there and not moving at all.
And since Gold rush has no time limit in a conventional sense, this guy basically just forces us to watch him for an hour or so while he runs around doing nothing all round.

The community is small enough that it'd probably be worth it to post the guy's name. There have been plenty of times where, joining random games, I'd run into randoms that I'd played with earlier in the night. I remember one time I was in a GAF party and we ran into some guy named icedurth like 5 times in a row.

I did the same thing. Well, I was hoping for Deatmatch Variants. I loved it in the beta, and I would play that instead of pure Deathmatch like I do now.Rez said:

Mehhhhhhh @ reduced health. I don't want this to be Modern Warfare 2. They need a NO BOOSTERS playlist where people start playing like they did before unlocking the good boosters. The lower level players that actually used cover, and played more carefully made for some great battles. The more I play, the more I see people just running and gunning the whole time which means no one is taking cover, climbing, or flanking anymore.
People suck sometimes.

yeah, basically. it's great because grenades are usually not present at all in, say, Shotty Sniper matches, there's also no bullshit RUN FOR THE SHOTGUN/EXPLOSIVE WEAPON AND THEN GET FREE POINTS, as everyone starts and ends on equal ground. It feels fairer. I get the feeling sometimes that grenades, shotguns and even rocket launchers are just included for the sake of tradition in vanilla multiplayer deathmatches, or because they're present in the single player campaign/other multiplayer games. When you look at the game on a base level, all they serve to do is unbalance it, which, while super-fun for the person wielding the weapon, can get a tad frustrating for everyone else.Dedication Through Light said:
I can deal with losing, but when it's because of an explosion that I had no fair chance of avoiding, it really gets me down.
But I'm splitting hairs, the levels are just so well thought out, a lot of the time their design negates the feeling of frustration.
oh, and this isn't a "FIX THIS SHIT NAUGHTY DOG" post, as I'm willing to concede that I'm probably in the minority on this one. A lot of people who play the game way more frequently than myself undoubtedly love all of the above elements.

Rocket Launchers only, Sniper Rifles Only, and Pistol Only matches. I know those weapons are laying around in maps and stuff, but it was cool that everyone had the same weapon. I had such a ton of silly fun in Rocket Launchers only matches. Oh, good times indeed. Though, not much people liked that match, but I sure did.Dedication Through Light said:
Ughh that weekend change sounds lousy. 65 health? My timing will be all off when it comes back, w/e I guess. I didn't agree with the donut guys either, I felt like the hitboxes were all off.
Either way been playing a ton. How often does gaf play? I'd like to hop in for a few rounds with you guys. Any games as epic as the old resistance nights yet?

Well, just beat the game finally. Felt 10X longer than the first game, but who knows how true that is.
Chloe still has very ghoulish eyes, in general a scary face. I hate to see it, but I really like Elena's voice actor.
Cool game in general, really wish the area of
was longer, that's the sort of area that makes Uncharted's graphics really eye popping, especially the bit where it was raining and you were in that trench-like area. Really awesome stuff.. (Some of the music
was awesome as well, and much more).
I think I like both of the games equally, but I was turned off by some aspects of the story for 2.
A game like this would have really entranced me and been something I could scarcely imagine when I was a child. This is everything the future of gaming should be.

Didn't see it answered in the first post of the thread, so I'll ask it here. Since the manual that the game comes with is crap compared to the first game I didn't find a single bit of info about importing stuff in from the previous game. In another thread (stuff about gaming across save files) someone mentioned you could import things from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and I found the button to do so. The only problem is when I click on it, the game says No Uncharted: Drake's Fortune trophies found. I have 35% of the trophies and a completed save game file. Is something wrong here? Can anyone explain? Thanks (just started the game, finished the first chapter and called it good for a night).
Once again I come to GAF for guidance. I have read only the OP since I have not completed single player (got game yesterday). I wanted to try the multiplayer and right now I am rank 4. Oh boy am I in a little over my head. I'm like a headless chicken out there. I can't turn my back without some skeleton dude (wtf?) blasting my face off or meeting my end to a 'nade. I keep getting into matches where everyone averages rank 40+ (hardcore thieves must play at night).
From my initial impression: The AK seems useless at any sort of range. Try aiming with L1 and as soon as you pull the trigger the spread is insane. I feel like whipping out the pistol and trying that. At this point I dash for the FAIL as soon as I spawn or I'm 100% useless. It seems that learning how to navigate vertically through a level may be very critical to being able to survive and combat far more skilled players than myself. Skeleton people? What? Killing people while hanging off edges, shooting down at them is so satisfying. Even more satisfying would be a takedown from a ledge (I've only received that one). I'm definitely vibing with the game and I will keep playing multiplayer regardless of how much I struggle.
So GAF, any multiplayer pointers?
Edit:
I am in the same boat. What the hell?

lol. Only at like 20%Kittonwy said:GG yall, crush u quitter, u didn't hit 50.
You seem to be doing fine for your level and I'm amazed that you know about pull offs and kickoffs. Most new players don't and go "WHAT" over and over. Simply walk up to someone on a ledge and press [] to kick them off or if you're hanging off a ledge, press [] to pull them down. Another great but hard to do melee is the head slam. You need to be at a level where someone is holding onto a ledge and the ledge itself is at least waist level(The middle building in The Village) is a good example of this, the one with the shield. Your character will grab their head and slam it for an instant kill. Hard to do as most times they'll pull you off first, but God is it satisfying.Niblet said:
The AK is my standard weapon and one you should stick with as you always spawn with it and it's rather powerful due to fire rate. I had the same problems as you in the first beta, turning down sensitivity helped me in that regard. There's also Down the Irons which you can get to improve your accuracy(GAF glares at me >_>).
Lastly I recommend Fleet Foot as your secondary base. You move MUCH faster when aiming and prevents people dancing around you or you being unable to keep up when aiming!
Feel free to join the Gaf crew, we play around the clock and have tons of fun. Just stay out of my way as I'm Legendary
As for the money thing, I believe you need a completed save file no?

Signed...Mr_Nothin
I agree with everything you said right here also. Grenades are bs (i wont go into that any more)...shotguns are dumb as hell. Im shooting a guy half a dozen times while he's running at me and BLAM!. Anybody have problems aiming at a guy with a shotty that's running straight at you? It's like WHY THE HELL CANT I HIT HIM!?!? (only sometimes) And grenade launchers/rocket launchers should at least spawn in random places so nobody knows exactly where to run at the beginning of the round. I feel like, if I dont go for 1 or the other...i'll be killed by 1 of them at least once and probably multiple times (especially if they have the hammer booster). Like I said before...UC2 is a "if I dont do it...it'll be done to me 100 times over". You're forced to play like the rest of the idiotsRez said:

I'm not sure what to say =/ I never even used the feature. You'll end up with tons of money quickly anyway, but I can understand you. Maybe someone else knows, or you can ask Arne?rhfb said:
NP. You guys should join us for real though, could always use some good players unlike BrokenNoogy said:
I even put my disc of Uncharted: DF back in my PS3 and started a hard difficulty play though and finished chapter 1 and then created a second save, made sure I had logged in to PSN and connected to the multiplayer on U:AT and then tried to import and it still didn't work :|
And I doubt I'll end up with tons of money anyways as I will probably only ever play a single multiplayer match to get the trophy.

Good to hear the health reduction decision is only experimental for this weekend. For a second I thought it's permanent. And who knows, maybe people would prefer it over the current health system after they actually try it out; I expect it to force people to make more use of cover and play more tactically. Oh, Plunder Only =
- Chloe while throwing a grenade: "hey! sit on this!"
- Drake after melee-killing someone in co-op: "no children for you"
- Flynn while picking up a weapon: "aww so beauuutiful, come here"
- Flynn after surviving intense shit: "pheeww, okaay!"
