So when is voice chat going to be added so when I play one on one with a friend we can talk to each other?????????? We love the MP in UC2 but just don't play it because of proximity chat.

I might be a bastard, but yer a motherfucker. -_-

Voice chat isn't proximity when you're on a team. It's just regular voice chat.
Proximity is for opposite teams.
Sounds like you have a problem with your mics, or sometimes in the lobby it will glitch out and you won't hear a person until you're in a game.

Tried it for a few matches this afternoon. Loading times are noticeably shorter, too soon for me to notice if DTI went through an adjustment.
Cross game chat was delayed till next year and it looks like they're planning on making it a premium feature on PSN.Bearillusion said:

You misunderstand. We like to play private games of 1 on 1. We can't talk to each other while we do because of the proximity chat.

No you haven't. We can talk while the level is loading or if we are close to each other while playing. There is no such thing as free for all in UC2 as it is always team vs team that only supports proximity chat.

Why the hell do they feel the need to add Clan Tags, seriously?
Clans are so fucking stupid and don't fit the game at all. :|
Nice for people that want to designate where they're from (or use it for "ifurmom" like CoD kids do), but for the rest of us. This is pretty useless. :/
I rather them tweak the co-op reward levels. Grinding to 50 to get the last gun is getting so damn boring.

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the 1.03 update? My internet is working fine, so I think it's on Sony's end.
EDIT: Finally worked.

I don't know. Nothing seems different to me.
So how's the rematch system?
Do they just keep everyone grouped together until you (other another person) decides to leave and whoever doesnt leave just stays grouped with the others?
And the loading. Is it significantly reduced? I know that sometimes it only took like 3 seconds to load a map (it was very rare though). Happened like 5 maps in a row once though.

Fucking disconnections...
It was better, and now it is worse than ever.

They dumped the Party Up/Score screen and instead replaced it with the normal MM looking for players screen. Everybody who stayed till the end of the last round and hasn't turned off the game is automatically dumped together in the MM screen. For the first ~20 seconds or so the MM screen stays on the "found player" mode to give anybody who wants out the ability to back out. If a slot opens up during those ~20 seconds or if somebody left in the last round, the mm will kick in and search for a replacement player. If no one quits, you'll keep playing the same people until you back out to the lobby and restart MM.mr_nothin said:
Loading seems a little bit faster than before and the super long hangup loads seem to be gone now.

Yeah, it was a problem last night too. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.
Either way, I'm gonna power cycle everything to see if it is something on my side, because I moved my entertainment center around last night.
Another thing, plunder seems to be a 20 minute deathmatch now. I know I was one of the people who said during the first beta to up the points per kill, but I think it's detracting from plunder being played right. Everybody just seems to camp around the treasure and the few people who actually try and get it just get shot.
Maybe on an experimental weekend you guys could try tweaking the treasure to be double the points, and kills to be 3/4, or maybe half of what they currently are?
I gotta say how you guys have reduced the load times is fucking awesome.
I think it was on your end. You got logged out of the chat room during one of your dc's but remained connected to the PSN, usually when that happens to me its because the internet connection on my laptop is momentarily broken (my ps3 is using my laptop's internet connection).KilgoreTrout said:Yeah, it was a problem last night too.

The game will start to lag, then I'm booted out, logged out of the GAF chat room, & the IM client on my PC gets disconnected. All that happens while the system is telling me that I'm still logged on to the PSN. A couple of seconds later the connections either come back and everything is fine or I have to reset the wifi adapter on my laptop to get the internet connection working again on my laptop/PS3.

I'd suggest that any game with a team basis is suitable for clan tags.
The reduced load times mostly come in on the rematch option, which really isn't an option, it just sends you right to it, which I actually don't like that at all. Also I've had more connection issues today than any other since I started playing this game. Anybody else having that problem? Not to mention I'm getting a ton of 3 v 3s now, more than half the time people have quit.

It sucks sooo bad when one person quits and you're left with a 3 v 4 or something of that nature. That lack of extra manpower can be decimating.

So what the fuck is up with kick off/pull off? Does the game simulate a coin toss. I can't stand when I have a clear shot of doing either and as I do so I get killed. My favorite is when they're RIGHT FUCKING THERE and I just do the stock animation and WITHOUT FUCKING MOVING they get the easy kill. This shit is the worst fucking aspect of the game. Every fucking time it fills me with rage.
Don't even get me started with the shitty ass warp grabs. I can be in the middle of my landing animation after dropping off a ledge but the game decides to warp me back up to the leg of the attacker. I run at near perfect-perfect bars so I don't want to hear lag bullshit particularly on my end.

Sucks, because I always end up getting farmed. I just played 5 rounds, in the first it was 4v4 and one kid quit, 4v3 and farmed the entire round by one sniping with the dragon, another camped with the fal, another would run side by side with a kid with the AK and the Pistole and they just farmed for about 15 minutes while only capturing the final one with 30 seconds left.
The second round a kid quit immediately on my team until the very end when somebody quit on there team. The next two rounds kids quit on the opposite team. It's ruining the game, it happened with Resistance 1 towards the end. That one person makes a huge difference and ther'es not much you can do when you're getting farmed.
Since the new system I've been kicked from 2 rounds of the 10 I've played. It might be my internet, but has anybody else experienced that? It seems weird somebody has quit almost every round, it seems like they might be getting disconnected.

Not sure about the kicking. I'm about to play some tonight (ugh mic plz agh), so I'll let you know if I do, though I have not had any problems in the past.
edit:
ugh even though this is not a strictly Uncharted 2 problem, I am wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Whenever I turn on my console with my controller (by pressing the PS button), the system comes on ant takes me to the login screen, but my controller never syncs. This is only a recent problem and I have no idea what's causing it. I thought the battery might be low, but I charge it on up just fine. It has been happening for days. It is happening now. Is anyone familiar with this? If I hook it up via USB it works fine, but does not wirelessly sync. Sometimes works if I turn the system off manually and try it back on.

Kicking will pretty much ALWAYS win. Never, ever be afraid to just run up to someone who's hanging on a ledge...they will never get you unless for some reason you do an actual melee attack (because of lag, it's also very rare). That little animation where you see the person on the ledge come up a little bit like he's going to grab you, it's apart of the kick-off animation so dont fret. They did that just to keep you scared (as if the other person had a chance to actually grab you off).MoonsaultSlayer said:
For the above reason, never hang on a ledge and try to grab someone (unless it's lower ranks). Always stand next to a ledge and then jump on the ledge and just keep pressing square. That's the safest way to get a pulldown. Or hang on a ledge and then when someone is running towards you...drop down when they get close (they'll then probably try to do a kick off but get stuck in the regular melee animation) then you can jump back on the ledge and pull them down. That technique is a little iffy sometimes because of lag and they will warp into a kickdown from 10 feet away.
Also, about the lag. It seems "universal". It's like they add lag compensation for everyone so they can all experience the same amount of lag (probably to avoid host advantage). What I mean is...lets say you have perfect bars ("no lag") and you're going against ppl with around 2 or 3 bars. The game will effectively, add a few milliseconds of compensation/delay to your ping/lag or whatever you want to call it. They do this to even out everyone. So if you get shot through a wall, chances are that the guy that shot you also saw you get shot through the wall even though the actual data says that you werent behind the wall and you got shot just as you were entering the corner.
Sooo, GOOD for fixing host advantage | BAD for "precision"/accuracy
*That's just my take on how they do their netcode.

Updated today after my internet has been giving me trouble today. >> Loading times, I've noticed them a bit quicker before matches, but not by a huge margin. Mostly noticed it being rather fast at the end of matches. The Boosters, I haven't really noticed anything really different. Down The Irons might have less auto-aim, but I'm not sure. Clan tags, it seems as though even if someone else made a clan with the same name, then you can as well. I can see that causing a problem. The Clan system should be like any other game. Set up a clan, invite players, and be able to send all Clan members messages and stuff. I love the added "Rematch" system, so I don't have to worry about pressing O after every match, haha. Glad the problem with Double Cash not giving double cash for medals is fixed. Yeah, pretty good update, all in all. I look forward to future updates.

If 3.15 doesn't fix it for you, try resetting the controller. Use something thin to press the button inside the little hole on the back, then connect a usb cable to it and the ps3, and then press the PS button on the controller to turn the system on.

I didnt like the 3 versus 2 matches it sometimes setup, they can be kind of dull at times.
love the rematch system. My team went on a 6 game winning streak before I had to leave and I ACTUALLY GOT TO PLAY WITH SOMEONE who's just above my skill level. Now I'm not trying to brag, but in most modes, I'm usually the best on my team and I hate playing matches where my team has no sense of teamwork (so we lose). The rematch system allowed me to play with an above descent team and it was much more fun.
