And I can say, personally for me at least, that I'm not playing U4 as much as I thought I would... or as much as I have past Uncharted games. It's not just sidekicks, mind you... their entire PvP suite feels very light.
Lack of Team Objective is killing me. For everything UC3 did wrong, Team Objective was a blast and could potentially be even better in this game with grenade cooldowns (and better mechanics, obvi). To launch without that is just o_0

I'm right there with you dude. I need team objective. But I want them to get it right. Don't give me U4 Team Objective that's like this thing they're currently calling Plunder. I hope they simply straight rip the U3 Team Objective match parameters, because they were tuned close to perfection over the life of the game.

All the new additions aside from the rope will change Team Objective, BUT because it's a rotating objective gametype, that can be curtailed a bit since the matches wouldn't be predictable enough to completely change the feel of them (the way mines and brutes can totally wreck the flow in UC4 Plunder)
And let's be honest, part of the draw in Team Objective was how chaotic it could get anyway. It was the right kind of madness.
All the new additions aside from the rope will change Team Objective for the worse, BUT because it's a rotating objective gametype, that can be curtailed a bit because the matches wouldn't be predictable enough to completely change the feel of it (the way Mines and brutes can totally wreck the flow in UC4 Plunder)
true. mines would be most effective on turf war where there's typically a lot of solo capping and nades would still be best in KOTH/Chain Reaction. or best period if you're a good player
Indra spam would make everything a clusterfuck though, that thing needs nerfing.
Even before the reload mod, it's very good. Like another poster mentioned, it's a good support weapon. You'll be popping people's heads while they're trying to revive their team mates. You can mark people from a distance if you have the marking booster or finish an enemy off who is very far away at a safe distance. All you gotta do is play it smart and you'll see success with it.
It's times like these I wonder why my team never uses their gear. I got a quad kill earlier as well under similar circumstances. Shit should be a staple to every build.
So is this game balanced? I tried the MP after finishing the SP tonight and I really loved Uncharted 2 multiplayer, but not sure about this at first glance. I'm not a big fan of the whole CoD buying upgrades mid-match thing seems. Just seems like it rewards the winning team and makes it even harder for the losing team to come back.
Also are any of the modes co-op like U2's co-op MP? I only tried the team deathmatch so far.

Even if the game mechanics would cause snowballing to occur, that wouldn't mean it wasn't balanced.
The most successful competitive games played right now are based around that.
I think individual elements, despite costing money accrued over the course of a match still have risks associated with it and by killing sidekicks or the staff you get quite a bit of money.
I'm still extremely torn on the MP in this game. When the connection to everyone is stable it's some of the most fun I've ever had in MP. When the lag/delay is in effect it is one of the most frustrating to play. Hope it gets better going forward.

Pretty much this. As long as ND fixes the white plug of death, this will easily be one of the most fun MP game this gen. The Last Of Us Remastered doesn't have this issue, so, hopefully, ND can fix this soon.
That's how it is with most popular games with MP, I just live with it and grumble when they don't even brother reviving me when no one is around lol.
The MP is fun though even when I sucked in the beginning being inconsistent. But it's fast paced and action 24/7 with so many awesome moments(just got 1st rope melee today and boy did that feel good.
Folks can add me if need warm bodies, I'm decent
Psn same as on gaf
I'm in Malaysia, so my timezone is GMT +8. An hour behind, but still pretty close. Feel free to add my PSN account if you like. Please type "GAF" if you do send a request.
ID: Silencerx98
P.S. I can only play on weekends, though. College life is brutal so far and I'm only in the third week.
I use combat marking so when I get downed I usually tag about 2-3 enemies moving in, and people still come and try to revive me only to get downed. Appreciate the gesture, but use your head folks, lol
I added you back, won't get a chance to play today or tomorrow, but I'll see if I can squeeze a session in around 7 pm onwards tomorrow. Will just send you an invite when I get online!
Dunno if this has been mentioned but the little details Naughty Dog put in for no reason make me laugh.
My PSN is the same as my ID here so naturally I have to have my characters wearing a mask.
The audio when selecting a character and anytime they speak is muffled as if they are speaking behind a mask. Hilarious.
Soooo...basically if one just understands better, they wouldn't suck so much. AKA git güd.
When you hand wave away someone's opinion with "If you only just understood!" you're coming off condescending and dismissive. As SonicAaron pointed out, some folks just don't want AI in their PvP. And that's OK.
I didn't say it wasn't okay not to want AI in PvP, I'm not sure where you got that from. In my first post to him I said if he just doesn't like the AI then that's fine, but he portays them as if they somehow break the game, even going as far as to say that he fights AI more than he fights other players. His initial post also suggests using that as a representation of UC4 MP to other players, as in, he believes that his conclusions extend beyond his own experience, standing as a representation of UC4 multiplayer as a whole.
Given that context, I don't think it's unfair for me, or anyone else to say that his experience on UC4 stems from a misunderstanding of the games systems. In either case, Sonic did not present a coherent argument for his dislike, merely a video claiming to represent the manner in which the game played, most of the time. I don't think me saying that video is poorly representative of the UC4 experience and thereby miss leading is at all unfair, and I also don't feel that it's unfair to suggest that he might enjoy the game a bit more if he was more aware of the options available to him, to beat the AI. I don't think these fundamentals are a matter of 'getting good', they are explicit mechanisms built into the game for every player to easily access and understand.
It's you that is putting that stupid 'git gud' remark as a means of arbitrarily dismissing what I feel is a reasonable line of argument. I didn't say his dislike for AI wasn't valid, he didn't even present an argument against them, just a silly video purporting to represent the UC4 gameplay experience. Which again, I will say I believe is miss leading.
Okay cool, I saw people coming in to ask for friend requests and I asked in the official thread to no response so I thought otherwise. Maybe we should get that added to the OP.
The shotgun is so much ass in this game, BUT I unlocked the blindfire accuracy mod for it and holy shit it's a game changer for sure. It downs people like crazy now and actually makes using it fun. Definitely is the attachment to roll with for it. With it on, it's just incredible how easy downs come your way. It's nice to know my suffering to get 80 downs with it paid off.
They need to add some more heroes, I can think of Schafer, Jeff The Cameraman, Marisa, Rika Raja could be a hero too, but it could go either way.
For villains, the two guys from Golden Abyss (can't remember their names), Draza from 2, Pinkerton from Eye of Indra, and maybe some more high ranked guards from the other games. I can't really think of other villains, I think they're mostly covered.
Once they add in most of the Uncharted characters, I'd be down for a PlayStation heroes and villains pack.
For skins, there's a lot of stuff they could add if they really want too. UDF Drake's wetsuit, a bunch of Sully's outfits from other games, Eddy Raja's Eye of Indra outfits, UNCHARTED 4 ENDING SPOILERS
I hope they add that skin Nate was wearing at the end.
Plus I'm sure they'll add Nate's old outfits for everyone eventually.
Edit: forgot to add for skins, stuff like Reptilian Rafe is great. I hope they add more pre-set outfits.
I can't think of anything for taunts, they did amazing. Maybe some nods to older games, like the Crash taunt. Or maybe the little dance Jak and Daxter would do in TPL when they found a Orb.
Only thing I can think of for mysticals would be a UNCHARTED 4 SPOILERS
A mummy you throw that causes a big explosion... Or maybe ghost pirates!
For Weapons, maybe a Desert Eagle gun, the Flintock, a new shotgun... Can't really think of anything other than that.
Can anyone please advise me on the best method to get past the section where
the car is in the wooden lift (chapter 15 I think?). You are hanging on the side of the lift with the car in it, halfway up in the air and guys attack from all directions, using RPG's and grenades as well as guns. Are you supposed to stay o the lift and take them out or move around the environment? I am struggling to progress.
