Warhawk has both publisher-hosted dedicated servers and the ability for anyone to run their PS3 as a dedicated server. At the very least Uncharted 3 can offer the latter. Rather than having a GAF Chat we can just have GAF servers.Gyrian said:
Yeah, it seems unlikely that they'd do that though 
You don't really have much of a choice. It's easy enough to get through 51 without using veiled since it doesn't help you much anyway, but getting through the levels after those will be much, much slower if you don't use invalid (invalid unlocks at 52, half loaded at 54, glass jaw at 56 and come get some at 58). With the lowered health invalid is especially annoying, but still worth it if you can get 10 kills a round. I think I've gone through 53 faster than I did 50 and 51 combined thanks to it.TripOpt55 said:

Man... I look at the leaderboards and see peoples levels and I wonder what the fuck else they do in life. Seriously.
I have a kid and even the handful of games a day that I play seems like enough and even before the baby, a dozen games was good enough. What keeps you guys going?
I'm not trying to troll those with too much time on their hands but part of me says "WTF!?" when I see some of the scores.
I guess the answer to that is the same as what makes someone cheat/glitch. Always just looking at the numbers more than the fun. This is why any dream of playing an MP game with people who want to play as a team is shattered.
/my exhausted ass rant. Sleep needs me...

GGs tonight guyz. I really like the museum map sooo gorgeous, but highrise... let's just say it's gonna take some getting used to. Siege is alright not any less fun, or more fun than regular survival IMHO.
After playing a lot of multiplayer games lately, I have to say that UC2 needs a join session option. It sucks having to leave somebody waiting in the lobby hoping to get in a full party.

Gotta give all my consoles equal loving if you know what i mean.Irish said:
If you played 12 matches a day averaging $10k per match since launch you'd be at $23,880,000 (level 56). If you did the same, but only playing weekends (weekend in this case meaning Saturday and Sunday) you'd be at $6,720,000 (just shy of level 51).MoonsaultSlayer said:
Considering it's pretty easy to get more than $10k a match (especially when playing plunder or playing any mode at levels above 50) and the fact that there have been numerous double cash weekends it's not really that hard to imagine that there are so many high level players.
I don't think anyone here plays that game for 'the numbers' rather than the fun. AT it's best this game was leaps and bounds above most other online multiplayer games. Half the time we'd just play private matches (which don't get you any advancement) all night and ignore matchmaking. Why do you think so many people left with the health change? They felt it wasn't fun anymore so they packed up and shipped out.

I don't play the game to level-- I level by playing the game. This game has been out, what, 6 months? If you played a few hours every weekend day (Fri, Sat, Sun) you'd be deep in the Roman numerals by now.
Most of the people I play with are Gaffers, and most of them are Roman numerals, and most of them are looking to play as a team... if you played with us instead of taking potshots at us you'd know this.
Comparing us to glitchers just because we're higher level is dumb. I have a full-time job, a commute, and a wife. I don't play every day. I'm a high(ish) level because when this game had me in its grips, it was the only game I played. I skipped Assassin's Creed 2, Heavy Rain, Darksiders, Bayonetta at launch, etc., because I was stuck on UC2.
Yeah, I mean the level doesn't mean too much to me so I'm not sure I'll use Invalid, but I see what you mean with not having much choice. I didn't realize until looking at which level they are unlocked. Maybe I will use it. I'm still on 50 so I'll see what happens when I get there.Yeef said:
I love the new maps. I saw a lot of people hanging and shooting on Highrise. At first I thought that was just due to the map maybe, but then I played on The Facility and people were doing it too. I'm guessing this has to do with the Tricky-related trophy. I can't bring myself to change my game up too much to go for trophies. That seems to be what's going on though.

lol I cant get The Museum for beans, I get the HighRise and The Facility and Flooded Ruins so much (And most of the time it is always one stage for both options to choose), lol.

I've been using Glass Jaw and Come Get Some lately... and yeah, not doing that great with it. Some rounds I'm getting my 150k with 10 kills, but others I'm lucky to even reach 5 kills. I have to mute people like crazy now cause they think I'm a bad player, even though they know I have two negative boosters. I'm having fun, though. Loving these new maps, and I think I'm pretty used to them now.
Triple cash is a nice surprise. When I got home I was still level 53 now after maybe 5 or 6 matches I'm a quarter of the way through 54. I'm going to try to get at least to 56 before the extra cash runs out. With any luck I'll get to 58.
It's weird though, I'm playing better with Invalid AND Half Loaded than I was with Invalid and Sure Foot.
I still need to go back and finish FFXIII before Red Dead Redemption and Mario Galaxy 2.

There are actually a lot of places where hanging kills are more useful than going for head-to-head kills. I've seen a hand ful of people going for hanging kills in stupid places and every time they only survived long enough to get one or two at the most and then once we realize what they're up to they never get any more.TripOpt55 said:
Yeah, I mean I use them at times too, but some of these spots were silly. On highrise I could see some of them being good spots, but some of the ones they were trying on The Facility... they were just asking to die and they did. They kept trying though. I don't know. Might have just been a certain group or something.Yeef said:
Also, I played a match on Museum and I think 4 to six people quit so much so that the match ended at 25 or 30 kills... whichever it is. You figured people would be happy to play the new map. I mean maybe there were connection issues. Not sure, but it kind of stunk because I wanted a bit more time on the map. I got like half a match.

Something is up, definitely. Every match I played today, except a few, had one to two people leaving. I don't see how that many people could just straight up leave, so I'm think it's connection issues. Either Uncharted 2 is having problems, or a lot of people's internet is acting up.TripOpt55 said:

You'd think people wouldn't glitch because of the replay feature yet they still do. Very annoying.

I don't/can't play everyday. I'm halfway through level 44. I know i came across as complaining but I was mainly commenting on people glitching to acheive higher levels instead of playing for fun. In my lack of sleep rage, I made the mistake of lumping everyone at the top of their game as glitchers or people with nothing better to do. I'm no one to make that kind of judgement as a gamer myself. Sorry if anyone was offended =].

Shoot, I haven't played for a month and I'm still somehow ranked like this in the leaderboards:
Kills: 4,904th
Money: 5,067th
Wins: 1,691st
That shows you just how much time I've put into the damned thing. It also means I'm a sad little man.
When you're playing with the Diverse group of GAFfers like we do, it's almost impossible to leave after just a few matches, whether you're liking the game or not. It really is a ton of fun.

The game was released last October. Even if you JUST play 1 hour a day on average, you can have accumulated a lot of kills over the past 200 or so days. I've played the game for less than 1 hour a day on average, and my numbers are relatively high.
Now... the people who have played the game for 50+ days, that's a different story. That's too much. 50 days spent playing is 25% of the time since October. If you factor in the time they spent sleeping, eating, and using the bathroom, that's the majority of their day.

19:00 - And this game turns to shit!
Every host is American, the lag is unbearable and in true American style they have no idea what lag is when they're winning :lol
Also about the glitches, I've been playing for around 9hrs straight today (day off) and haven't seen a single glitcher, before 1.07 it was every other game.
But to get my point across...........FUCK LAG AND FUCK THE INTERNET FOR BEING SO DAMN SHIT!!!

Well thanks to Come Get Some its excessively easy to max out, lol.
Hopefully trying to do it again, though for plunder it made the last 8 minutes of the match dull since none of the money is counted

High-Rise too. We were flanked about 3 seconds into the match, we still beat them 5-2, but still, unless there a shortcut, that's not possible.
And not playing for while, still getting the hang of certain things--like my almighty grenades now merely knock people down. I got lucky with a few grenade/BBQs, but I wish the radius was the same as before. I've thrown shit at people's feet and they've escaped.
Other than that, I'm digging it again. Still have Batman:AA to finish, but this weekend is all U2, get my ass to 51 at least.

Bought the new DLC and I still have not tried the new maps... Every time I join one game only the old ones appear. Am I doing something wrong? :lol
