Yup, maps are shit.
These feel like just about any other shooter's worst maps. Don't even feel like they belong to Uncharted.

They lack symmetry... UC3 started this trend.

I find the maps amazing, the 3 lane philosophy works really well.
Yep, Team Objective is a must for me if I'm gonna be playing this a year from now.
I feel like the maps in U4 are basically TLOU maps sans the interesting/intricate interiors. Basically, they're all way flat with a few lanes and choke points.
I was pretty stoked when I saw U4 would have all brand new maps, but after playing them... I'd rather have had 8 remakes tbh.
River and Pirate Colony are the closest they got to getting it right (they also have swimming!), they're the only ones I'd consider keeping.

I'm convinced it's better than UC2 even without a classic mode. The maps are designed to accomodate constant traversal at a good pace. Whether it's swinging, sliding, climbing or swimming; the momentum is almost always on point.

I'd need like every UC2 map remastered, honestly. Having only a handful of them would just make me hungry for more. Some of those maps were so damn good, and so much more interesting than the UC4 maps.
I mean...yeah, I guess they do what they're supposed to. Map flow and angles are super predictable though, and there isn't enough crazy vertical shenanigans and more intricate routes. UC2 + the DLC was Naughty Dog's peak map design.
They're great for doing laps as you track spawns, sure, but they don't facilitate strange "unique to Uncharted MP" moments as much, at least not without the rope coming into play. One of the reasons I loved UC2 multi so much, even in basic TDM, is that you'd constantly find yourself navigating maps where you'd stumble onto people at strange angles. There's much less of that here with all the funneling, and straightforward sightlines, and lane based design, and less layering.
Also, where are my

I dont notice any difference with the blindfire but then again i'm using Nadine's fossa and Rafe's para and they both have blindfire accuracy and clip capacity so... Feels the same.

I really dont care about the downs I just included it because im sure some people would consider classic mode not having them.
Grenades IMO is a non issue. I would have 0 problem with people throwing more grenades... especially if the sidekicks and mysticals are removed.
IF they decided to add a classic mode, my preference would be random and unique game mode rotation that changes every match like they had in UC2 (and maybe UC3?) TDM, Plunder, command or whatever, pistols and grenades, snipers and pistoles, hardcore TDM.... Just rotate everything so every match is fresh.

I have unlocked a sidekick modifier but dont see a way to enable it ,please help.On the loadout screen "None" is selected and cant change it .
Press triangle over it in your loadout after selecting it? Like adding a mod to a weapon.

I'd mainly want Uncharted 2's maps, my favourites being The Fort, The Village, The Plaza, The Sanctuary and The Highrise.

Honestly, I think Rooftops may be the most Uncharted map out of all the new ones. It still suffers from the 3-lane design like the rest, but there is a lot more vertical variety overall.

To me, the maps are all good, but none are great. Hopefully in a future DLC we get at least one great map.

Um, yes. If they actively hurt the team they're on? Fuck yes. Who gives a shit if their party got split? Play the fucking game or drop out of it. I've played tons of other games (Rocket League being a recent one) where I got split from my party, and guess what? I just played the game normally. It was fine. It can be done!

The maps aren't amazing but they're all good IMO. Tons of flanks and paths to escape. Too much verticality would make the mystics and sidekicks extremely unbalanced. The maps work for what the game offers.

Just joined a game of Command that was already in progress (yay) where AKyemeni and maybe other GAFers were on the other team. Needless to say that was an ass stomping on their behalf. Getting sick of joining games already in progress and being on the losing side.

It's not like anyone asked to be split from his team... why don't you pester ND to fix party splits? Staying in a corner and not playing is not a bannable offense.
You cannot tell anyone to quit the match... you can quit the match if you don't like it.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
The ranking system pairs you with people far below your rank but doesn't allow you to party up with people who're "three ranks below you." Really flawed matchmaking imho.
I got 35 long guns left
And 16 pistols...
I feel like I've wasted 50k relics on this... but I want them alol anybody finished unlocking them yet?
I got 8000 from the app invested in themy and all my game relics I haven't bought a vanity chest yet...
Getting 21,400 more relics for this feels nuts...

You got a long journey ahead.
I finished the vanity chests and now I'm just saving up for more vanity chests when they come. Got 3,500 relics stockpiled right now. I can grind for hero weapons.
Yeah its really stupid and I have a bad feeling that it'll never get any better. Tlou's matchmaking never seemed to get better.
Btw, first match with a gaffer on my team and we won 700-245 in command.

Forget about adding some pointless number next to names and focus on a mode sans all the annoying garbage please ND. No revives. No sidekicks.
Yeah I want everything
so I started with what seemed to be the longest one first.I'm over halfway done with the hero weapons but still got that much to go

I'm in the exact same place.
I've actually lost my drive to keep going now that I have all the vanity stuff. Hope more gets released soon.
I hate that I'm a sucker for something so trivial.
They didn't buff the sniper rifle at all? It is so useless in a fire fight.
Also, will I ever leave bronze ranking purgatory? I got stuck here when I was new and now I can't play with any friends or ever move up because people at the bronze level don't cooperate at all and I can't win every match.

I just play for a bit every three days, do my challenges, and then quit. I figure I'd get too sick of the maps otherwise.
How are you guys getting so many relics?
Don't tell me that app. That app is so boring. I'd rather grind playing fun games than waste a weekend with that app.
I am too once I finish hero weapons next up is vanity... long road to go cause by the time I start vanity there will be more items D:
App it didn't take long... lol you can't get more than 5000 relics out of it now and 15 of each 1 time booster. I got more than 5k before they added the later maps now it's impossible... UT yep that's part of the answer other is trials. I comolested them all.
I'm debating downloading it to my friends iPhone to see if I can get the rewards twice.... I also now that I'm at 100% was debating deleting the data to see if I can go through it again....
The app does have other nice things though.
I don't even think you can get the tophat outside of the app. [It was updated last night for those unaware
it looks awesome] I got it this morning pics shortly...That app. I like puzzle games now and then.
Got it this morning
Did they update the app with the last puzzle set?
edit: no they haven't. How'd you get the hat then? Did it just show up?
Yup
Got it early this morning went at it till I got me hat.
App auto updated for me on android last night...
Just a sec I'll post a pic.
I'm a completionist
So yeah it should be available I guess? Did I just get lucky?

Any tips? I switched this on today and holy shit, haven't enjoyed a multiplayer shooter so much in so long. Everything just seems so...balanced and nice. Really surprised how much I like it.
Any advice on unlocks and stuff. I'm really low level. I've bought Elena's winter outfit and some vanity packs but unsure if I can unlock weapons etc. or what hero weapons are......

I just noticed that they removed Deep Cover* from the final game... why ND?

Deep Cover
U4-deepcover1 Increase your ability to fight while in cover.
Rank 1:
Damage wobble is decreased by 20% when you're in cover. 1 1
Rank 2:
Damage wobble is decreased by 40% when you're in cover.
Weapons reload are 25% faster when you're in cover.

Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
Anyone else hate these two things:
1) you're trying to get into cover, but your character absolutely refuses to get into it and just stands there like an idiot.
2) you can't climb up something because your camera angle isn't focused straight to where you're trying to climb up. I move my camera a lot to see if there's any enemies and it's so stupid that I can't climb up because I don't focus the camera straight in the center of my character....
Never had any of these problems in past UC MP games. Oh yeah, I just remembered this. In UC3 MP, holding circle while you jump somewhere will always cancel your character grabbing on to something, but it doesn't seem to work here sometimes because even if I hold circle, my character will still grab a ledge even though I don't want to grab it.

I wish there was some kind of controlled decent thing like in the recent Assassin's Creed games. There are many times when I'm trying to get down somewhere quickly, but rolling off a ledge usually causes the character to grab onto the edge, and jumping straight off usually results in the character jumping too far and falling to their death. You have to go at it really stilted-like.

It's nuts how often it happens. I get that finding and fixing stuff like this must be hard, but damn
And the times when someone's taking cover and there's more than enough space for you to take cover next to them, but it just won't work
You can take cover over a buddy in singleplayer, so what's the deal

You should unlock vanity items with the relics first and then unlock the Hero weapons by trying new loadouts and using leftover relics. It's a much better use of your relics since you can unlock Hero weapons by just playing the game, and it'll also extend your interest in playing because you'll be trying new playstyles every week or so. That's what I did and I have everything unlocked now.

You can get more than 5,000 relics. Even though there is a limit, they still transfer, although this is happening on my account that already had over 5,000 before I updated the app. Maybe if you start completely from scratch you are truly limited, but it's not even possible to get 5,000 relics with the new payouts now. I downloaded the app on a second iPhone and I have 2,000 versus 7,375 on the non-updated app.
Also, I saw a few people using the top hat a few weeks ago. Either they were the developers of the app, work for ND/Sony, or the hat was a preorder bonus in some region.
When you go into custom loadouts it tells you what's required to unlock weapons, Mysticala, Sidekicks, Gear, Heavy Weapons, Boosters, and Loadout points. Without knowing your play style my advice would be to stick with a weapon you're comfortable with and always have either the Para .45 or the Pistole equipped. Since you're new and don't know the maps as well, I'd equip the Savior sidekick to help you out in case you get downed away from teammates. I'd also urgently advise you to equip Explosive Awareness 3 as soon as you can. It allows you to disable Mines and C4. I'd also have at least two loadouts that have Mines and Grenades in them--in case the other team has Explosive Awareness 3, you can quickly switch loadouts to use a Grenade instead. Lastly, stick to your teammates until you get comfortable with the maps and your shooting abilities.
Hero weapons are special versions that have two mods on them (you're normally allowed one). They're unlocked by getting a certain number of kills with each weapon.
#2 is sort of funny when it happens, especially when you're next to a teammate who's doing the same thing. You look like a pair of clowns. #1 has killed me at least once every other match and is infuriating lol.
