MP has been really infuriating for me the last couple days. I think i'm gonna take a break, possibly until ND tweaks it.
Edit: Just saw above post. Guess i won't be. :lol Sounds like good changes.

I am loving the looks of the 1.06 changes, thanks for posting that. Been playing a lot of Uncharted 2 lately, so I am looking forward to these changes.

Wow that was quick.
The things that they're working on (FOR FUTURE UPDATES) is pretty good.
I hope they would consider putting the health back to where it was but maybe the FAL/DTI nerfing/Leg dmg fix will offset that. Idk how I feel about the FAL being nerfed but its all for the better with the new health. I loved the 1-2-3 flow of the FAL but then again, the way you pretty much insta-die from across the map because all of the bullets hit you pretty much @ the same time...wont happen as much.
FYI: The top 2 are the changes for 1.06 and the rest are for a future update.

* Removed automatic shoulder selection when players click the thumbstick to zoom
Hm, seems confusing. I don't zoom in that often, but when I did, shoulder position never seemed to have mattered. They probably should have made it an option when doing basic aiming or removed it entirely.
* Delayed the appearance of the scoreboard to allow time for players to view any medals received simultaneously with player death
Sweet!
* Adjusted hitbox attributes so that players will take less damage to the characters legs
Hell Yes!
* Decreased kill radius of grenades by 1 meter
WHAT THE FUCK!!! Fuck you GAF, grenades were perfect before. Seriously, didn't you guys look at my picture? 6 Squares with the 7th being the stun area.
* Decreased accuracy of Down the Irons by 15%
Awesome, hopefully the bullshit side-effects have been decreased by 100%.
* Reduced rate of fire of the FAL by 10%
Probably not necessary.
* Reduced rate of fire for the Dragon Sniper by 10%
Was totally needed.
* Collision and geometry changes to The Fort to prevent intentional glitching by players
Now it's time to fix the Ice Cave.
.
Also, grenades.
alr1ghtstart said:fucking awesome. DTI, grenade, and FAL nerfing. Hitboxes are back for the legs.
Similar to what I asked for (nerfing DTI, FAL and Sniper except it's rate of fire and not damage.
Hopefully you'll start playing again.
No more shoulder-switch is HUGE for me. So annoying having to anticipate which shoulder I'm shooting from.

Update sounds awesome. I just started playing again last week after a looooong break because I couldn't resist the charm of Eddy Raja, and I've HATED what the game had become. Hopefully the update restores some of the fun I used to have with it.

Arne, I remember when the game was launching you guys said that new Co-op missions would be impossible, due to the amount of assets needed to make one of those levels (or something along those lines). Then shortly after that I remember reading that new Co-op missions were still a thought. Was there ever a final statement on this?

To be fair it's not really the blast radius that makes grenades in this just so shit. It's the fact that they require barely any animation before a throw, infact the throwing animation may as well not be there because the greande flies out of your waist instantly anyway. And always in the direction of the camera no what what direction the character is actually facing. Or how bout how the grenades have a shorter detonation time the shorter distance you throw them? Yeah that makes sense. Run round a corner and into two guys? No worries, press forward on right analog stick and press L2. Blows up isntantly and two kills. So cheap it's laughable. Worst grenade mechanics I've ever seen in a MP game.
The reduction in blast radius would certainly help a little, but isn't the route of the issue with the grenades. It's a welcome change tho. Especially for playing late night where it always matches you with US players and gives them host making it borderline unplayable. Wont help with bullets flying miles passed you on your screen yet you just suddenly die when you get round a corner or into cover. *sigh*
And they reduced the speed of the Sniper? Great, it's still one hit kill. And glitches on Fort? How bout on The Temple, had the most frustrating game ever today, Sniper only on Temple, I'd spawn, step forward and get shot through the scenery constantly until the game ended. Or shot while I was in cover. Or how about Ice Cave where we were getting melee'd to death in one hit by a guy on the other side of the map?
And the fuck the spawn system in this game. Kill a guy and 10 seconds later he shoots you in the back.

After I initially beat the game, I never got too into the multiplayer portion. I just logged on for the first time earlier and I gotta say, it's a blast! Even as a noob I got a fair amount of kills for my team and leveled up fairly quickly (I'm at level 9 ). I can't believe I've been missing out on this! Definitely going to go at it again tomorrow or even tonight.

Rockin', man.
Those updates should bring back the fun pre-1.05. Glad to hear those glitches are in focus now.

Not as deep as he thinks
The new maps are really fun on Survival/Gold Rush. Gold Rush ESPECIALLY in The Facility is such a fucking bitch in Round 9 and 10 because the enemies spawn where the treasure chest is at. :lol I hope they NEVER fix this because it makes Round 9 and 10 so intense. You're like rushing in hoping you don't die with like 15+ enemies in front of you. I absolutely love it._RT_ said:
Grenades were awful. I'd personally be happy if they made it so you are unable to tap L2 whilst getting shot to death.Irish said:Maybe not for you laggy Euros.
Seriously though, the only times I die from a grenade are when I either jump on it or roll into one. (You'd be surprised at how often I do that though.)
changes look good though.

Yes. What have I missed? Just read it again and there's nothing about changing the cheap grenade mechanics apart from blast radius which I mentioned. Nothing to decrease lag while being matched up with US players and them getting host all the time. Glitches are being fixed on "The Fort" but not on the maps I mentioned. There's the hit boxes for the legs but Snipers would still be one hit kill everywhere else. To be honest I'm not too bothered about the snipers, yeah it's annyoing dying instantly especially with them being so easy to aim, but I can live with it. The other issues like the awful spawn system which I also didn't see anything being mentioned about are a much bigger issue for me. What points have I missed? I am posting on an embarrassingly tiny Acer Notebook right now so it is difficult to see.
Irish said:
don't believe that sorry, everyone dies by insta-nades be it in the middle of a close encounter (the closer the faster they detonate) or when you're capturing a zone, there's not enough time to roll away from them, at least with laggy American hosts where you can't even see the animations.

I'm with you on this, one of the most welcome tweaks for tomorrow. :]
Well, one last night with the current rule-set to enjoy.
I'll be on, hope to see some of you still.
