As the week comes to a close, we wanted to come full circle and share some of the things we’re looking at based on the collective community feedback to Title Update 1.05 since it was released last week.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Friday February 26 2010

In the works…

Earlier this week, we blogged about how we are listening to the conversations in our player community about our recent Title Update 1.05. To close out the week we wanted to share some of the things we’ve been looking at and testing internally within UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer—all based on feedback from our community.

Just to be clear – these are some of the adjustments and refinements we’ve been talking about and we’ve been testing internally to date.

By no means does this mean any of this is guaranteed to happen.

And now the list…

Auto-shoulder switching
We’re thinking about removing this entirely and/or adding a toggle to your online profile.

Medals being obscured when you have been killed
If you happen to get medals right as you’re killed, the scoreboard comes up and you can’t see the medal and cash award. I think it’s safe to assume we’ll address this.

Limb damage
We’ve been testing out changing the hitboxes so that shots to the limb require require damage than torso hits or headshots to dispatch your opponent.

Grenades
We’ve been looking at different adjustments to grenade damage and radius to see how those adjustments fare.

Boosters
We’ve been playing around with balance adjustments to some boosters.

Glitches and exploits
This is a little bit of an on-going process, but addressing these are definitely things we’re working on and have been updating consistently over time.

When we’ve made more solid decisions regarding any adjustments or refinements to multiplayer, we’ll be sure to let you know in detail.

You do know that this is a stealth shooter right? You do know that there is cover right?

If you run out into the open without looking where your team is and deciding the best route, and you do not take advantage of cover, then you will die and that is your fault

9.1 - why should I have to adapt. I want the game I bought back. Games NEVER change THIS much after 5 MONTHS. Not giving the most loyal players a CHOICE on which to play was a mistake by ND.
Ive been playing the game and loving it since before it was even out.

I should at least be able to choose a separate playlist to play the old version. Not sure why ND and 1.05 supporters are so against giving it its own playlist(either one I dont care). I voted to “give it its own Playlist” because I had a feeling this would happen. We all should have voted for “I hate it” instead I guess.

But I was all for giving people a choice of which health to play with but those people dont want to give me the same choice. Im not happy about it but still play the game. I only wish I could have the choice to play the game that I bought on Oct. 13th, 2009 instead.

Why couldnt the other people “adapt” as you put it. Nooo they had to fix what wasnt broken. I just want a separate playlist to play the original game that over 3 million people bought.

I diont care about dividing up the already small community. Im 100% confident that there are more than enough people who want to play with the old health to easily find games.

Also when I tried to used situational awareness by not moving. It seems like it doesn’t even work by pushing the directional button up. I can’t even see or understand if it’s even working. All I say I’ve used awareness on my booster and it never worked as far as I can see. I’ve never seen anything happen when I push the button.

Posted by: whythehellcanti on 02-28-2010

Ummmm it only takes 1/2 a second to stand still, press it, then go on your merry way. Not to mention you could use it while in cover and while hanging on a ledge. So yeah, I wouldn’t call “standing still” a weakness.

Posted by: whythehellcanti on 02-28-2010

It only works when you’re seperated by a wall or less. For example, you wouldn’t be able to see someone on the other side of the map if there are multiple walls in between you two. Places like The Sanctuary, where the entire thing is pretty much one wall, is where SA is abused.

Posted by: SoLiDuS_187 on 02-28-2010

I forgot about that. But didnt it party you up with anyone from the game? I think I tried to use it to arty with my team after wining once and it put me with some bad player from the other team.

If they brought it back and you would only team up with people from your team it would be good.

Posted by: ZHX1138 on 02-27-2010

Actually in all levels there are places where players can hang through walls. Like in the fort and the train wreck and the lost city. I myself even uploaded some of the levels where players have gone through walls and hidden killing us players who can shoot at them when they are in the glich.

All I say as long as the adjustments make gameplay more enjoyable and fair. Which I totally want.

Posted by: fremio on 02-28-2010

How can we report people using the glitches? This is really pi$$ing me off these people MUST BE BANNED!!!!!
I Will post the youtube links in this blog of videos i’ve recorded. PLEASE ARNE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLAYERS!

WE HAVE TO GIVE SOME EXAMPLES so people play fare and respect other players!!!

Posted by: iHalfAsian on 02-27-2010

the 1.05 hp is just fine, however they need to do the hitboxing where headshots actually feel satifying. Honestly it still takes quite a bit of shots to kill someone, u can still have to time to move around. Before it was wa too much hp, too many bullets which sucks. Having another playlist wont be a good idea since it will spread out the plaers having lower ppl making it harder to find games.

Posted by: Muckman13 on 02-28-2010

Health… I can’t see why everyone has such a problem with it. The only issue is the hitbox. I know I’ve had some foot kills with the Sniper Rifle, lol. Just look where you’re going people! If I’m cruising along a wall and I see some fool running straight out the middle of a map of course you’re dead. Get it together and don’t complain that 6 bullets from a FAL can kill you. I still platform as much if not more, and I’ve been playing since the open Beta as well.

Posted by: TheSnake87 on 02-28-2010

well kratos is owned by sony. but do you really see kratos carrying AK and pistol instead of the athena blades??? that would lool weird, but would be funny to play woth him. other sony characters are ratchet & clank or maybe nariko from heavenly sword....

Posted by: sup_foo on 02-27-2010

@Ace-Deucey,

I laughed out loud when I read your post. I have squads I play every type of match with and we win much more than we lose. I/we do all of those things you say above and my KDR is not below 1, even playing with invalid. Nobody I play with has a negative KDR. To be honest, my KDR is not even that great, but at least I kill more than I die, even with using negative boosters. If you had skill you could do all those things and have a positive KDR. KDR and wins do equate to skill and you are ignorant for thinking different. I guess that is what you do to feel good about your terrible stats.

Posted by: Ace-Deucey on 02-27-2010

Wow. I bow to your absolute greatness. Lord of the Uncharted 2. I will erect a shrine to phenominal skills. LOL thats funny I hope it made you happy. I don’t know where that other guy that ratio from but it is actually 1.17(801-680) which still isn’t great - I agree. I conceded I.m not better than slightly above average. I just said that there were other mitigating factors to kd that you were apparently ignorant of. I guess you know these things and I am a complete idiot. And team wins do not tell that much about individual stats The teams you are grouped with before you have any friends might not be doing well either. And honestly when I was teens and twenty level getting put against teams of high 40’s, 50’s and 60’s it easy to see how my kd sucks. And once it is low it takes tons of matches to bring it out of the basement. I was just making a point in defence of the person that you were insulting that there other factors involved. I spent the first 40 levels doing completely awful which destroyed my stats, as well. If you think I’m ignorant because I think otherwise then fine we’ll just agree to disagree. At the end of the day I still sleep well. Maybe when I see my kd I should put a gun to my head because of my complete uselessness. If insulting people makes you feel good then we’ll just have to let it rest there. I apologize to your superior itellect and for my sheer stupidity. I wouldn’t want to upset the Uncharted 2 Gods.

Posted by: Moberz on 02-28-2010

Hmm, I prefere the update, but does that make me a noob? Myself and my other level 50+ freinds prefere it, we like some of you who say “We bought it in october” So did we. You need to move on with the times. The sign of a good player is not if he can get kills or not, but if he can adapt to a new style of play.

Sup_Foo- last comment you made, is right. The game needs some realisim, If you get hit by a sniper, in any part of the body, arm, leg anywhere your most likly dead. Remember the fact that you have artiries in these parts of your bodies.

And for your info, when i was not using my 2 negative boosters, half health, and half clip i had a KDR of 2. Now 1.4. my KDR has not changed since the realise of the new update, but i prefere it.

Posted by: fighter-strong on 02-28-2010

i have a message for those who cap: first ur are all cowards and chickens! second the reason u camp is because u know that ur weak and dont know how to fight my advice is for all of u who camp is to come down in the battlefield and fight like men stop hiding and sniping am sick and tired of u guys. u become even more especially after the new upgrade version! my rank now is 58 and i kill lots of ppl and i only get killed by snipers and chickent who hide and camp!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: idkmybffkae on 02-28-2010

you know what’s funny? I played you last night and you actually CAMP AND SUCK so now who’s the “troll”

just because you think you have so much skill? I’m sorry but you’re nothing; and did I say the game was for p*ssies? I don’t think so; so open your f*cking eyes dickhead. I said everyone ACTS like a p*ssy with the one-shot-kill weapons.

You’re not high and mighty so quit acting like it. You’re not good @ this game at all so quit bashing everybody else.

THANKS.

Posted by: iHalfAsian on 02-27-2010

i agree with you, ND knows that they dont have a huge amount of players online, but enough thats very playable. If you have two seperate playlists out of the avg 7000 ppl online, than it will take much longer to find games since it already takes few min too long, no offense, but ive waited 10min at one point. Also, ya it doesnt feel like a crazy hp change like the half health experiment. It doesnt feel like you kill faster unless u have a sniper or desert eagle. Ak kind of feels the same.

Posted by: M-Brother on 02-27-2010

@Geppo28: Single player took me 12 hours to beat when I tried rushing through Crushing mode, how much longer of a campaign do you really need when the storyline is so fun and charming?… Ohhh I see what you did there…

@xSlimjimmx: Excuse me, U2’s multiplayer has been my personal #1 favorite since the BETA, before any of the great updates (like faster matchmaking and loading). It sure as hell won GoTY for its multiplayer, in addition to its bar-raising singleplayer.

Posted by: bobbyduco on 02-28-2010

I agree! Played new maps last night. They’re hard. I never post on here, but felt I had to. The new gun and damage system is cr*p. Bring back 1.04. At least the gun and health damage. PLEASE NAUGHTY DOG!! All you need to change is to keep adding maps and “Uncharted” new skins. Don’t mess with the basics of the game. The mix of aiming, stealth attacks, running and gunning was perfect.

Posted by: Geppo28 on 02-27-2010

ND why are you making your job harder ? just make its own playlist , simple and people dont say it cant run 2 version of the game becuz they put it on the poll so.. Im pretty shure alots of people think the same way as i think *Just make its own playlist and stop fixing thing that doesnt need to be fix* There are prob like 50 people that complain about nade and theres like 500+ppl that dont like the 1.05 and still you need to listen to the 50 people instead of listening to the 500+ppl

Posted by: SmashBros101 on 02-27-2010

Join me americans, we will stand up to ND’s favoritism towards Europe and everybody post this or else Arne won’t catch attention.
If not I’m going to post it 20 times till he reads with some thought.

This must not stop ND needs to realize there are smart people out there in the US that know they’re being treated inferiorly, and thus I Lenny Yoo will stand to ND and do what they command me to do, just for the two characters.

How about you do this: Make your netcode function properly. I spent 60 dollars on your game. I bought your map pack and both your costume packs. Yet, you seem to be unable to let me play more than 10 minutes of your game online without a “connection error” popping up. It’s ridiculous. Your host migration is shot to hell and there has been little mention of that as of late.

If you’re going to punish your customers, at least warn us first. MW2 doesn’t have these issues, LBP doesn’t have these issues, Burnout Paradise doesn’t have these issues. Only you. Please fix them so I don’t feel like you took my money and ran with it.

Naughty Dog Read This.

First of all you should not put another play list because it will keep dividing the people playing and that’s a problem when it comes to find players, the auto switch take that away please players don’t need that, the health should be normal like it was in 1.04 the medals are cool they can stay like that the maps are awesome you did a great job with that.

I think that some players would like to have more weapons from the uncharted single player like the M79, Wes 44, MP40 and the Crossbow. And you should put the SAS in one more map if you can.

And if someone of Naughty Dog can read this message please i need you to do me a favor, in the lasts days i was playing I’ve had a problem with my connection and i loose like 120000 because it gave like 3 times the connection error if you can do something for me and give me my points or cash again ill thank you so much please.

Posted by: MajorxAdamska on 02-27-2010

Yeah I gotta admit the auto switching aiming kills me. Oh and by the way Arne, I would love an Eye of Indra pack for the US players. With Heist Eddy and Heist Rika (with the green jacket) Pinkerton in both outfits etc. With a Pinkerton estate map please, please.

“And if someone of Naughty Dog can read this message please i need you to do me a favor, in the lasts days i was playing I’ve had a problem with my connection and i loose like 120000 because it gave like 3 times the connection error if you can do something for me and give me my points or cash again ill thank you so much please.”

Sounds pretty ludicrous to demand money and points back; but i do agree this should be addressed. Their was one day where a crappy signal signed me out 6 times in a row. Thats a pretty good chunk of money; if you consider that, $40,000 is a fairly large chunk of daily gaming in the realm of Uncharted 2. I really like what they’re paying attention to currently, and agree the glitches should be considered above anything else right now. People who bitch about the 1.05 update are people with a very simple complaint - they dont like dying! who does? Move on and perhaps employ a different strategy.

I think besides the obvious glitches, these $40,000 deductions should be more closely monitored. Im surprised its been so seldom discussed.

Posted by: nicchae on 02-27-2010

Arne, I for one was against the majority of the adjustments made in 1.05 patch. However, after playing the game for a while even after the patch came out, I became used to a lot of things that ppl hate.

But I and a lot of ppl still have problem with some aspects of the adjustments that they simply cannot get used to -

1. Auto shoulder switch. - I know not a single person who is pleased with this.

2. Sniper rifle - Way too powerful. Level 10s and 20s camp and abuse sniper rifle like there’s no tomorrow.

3. AKs and M4 - Wish the power of this weapon is somewhere between 1.04 and 1.05 update [If ND does not plan on bringing it back to pre 1.05]

4. Grenades - I don’t know where to start with the grenades because they are so unpredictable, but I believe ND will find suitable damage for grenades.

I used to have much more complaints with 1.05 update, but now I am quite used to many of the adjustments made with 1.05 that I won’t bother listing anymore than what I’ve listed above.

Thanks ND

Posted by: mikex6989 on 02-27-2010

oh and one thing you forgot to mention is fal should not be 2 bursts to kill and sniper should definitely not be 1 shot kill unless its headshot....i even feel bad killing someone with the sniper because its a joke. its not fair. it requires no skill. its more powerful than an rpg or hammer. and ak47 should be balanced out a bit better too. you should not be able to die that easy with an ak47 in this game. revert back to 1.04

Posted by: mikex6989 on 02-27-2010

oh and one more thing...doing what i just said would stop people from camping so damn much! i played on the plaza yesterday and i have never played a match where everyone, and i mean EVERYONE was camping...same goes for the fort map...its not fun anymore....pleaseeeeeeeee change it back damnit

Posted by: Hochemo14 on 02-27-2010

Quick question Arne, is there any way that you can add more to the single player, like collectible pages of lost books to expand the lore of the game? I mean, it would be worth going through again, and a bit more in depth. Remember the focus of the game was the campaign.

Posted by: SharpPhoenix on 02-27-2010

This 1.05 needs its own playlist. Bring back the old health system please. We play UC2 to get away from the Modern Warfare games.
It was fine before, bring back the old health and get rid of the horrible shoulder auto-switching.

Also one more DLC character pack for NA. Baseball shirt Drake, the pirate and Pinkerton please!
Reward your fans from the beta days!

Posted by: M-Brother on 02-27-2010

I agree 100% with Sol-Train: “Naughty Dog: The grenades are the great equalizer in this game. They make it so no matter what gun someone has, if you have a grenade, you’ve still got a shot at killing them. If it wasn’t for this power, the hammer, the RPG, and the shotgun would destroy everyone.”

Also, I agree with Sharkspeare2: “I still have fun playing 1.05, but it’s no where near as fun as 1.04. It just seems as if now it’s just a game of who sees who first rather then actual skill toward the game. Before the update it was cool that if I was playing well enough, it was completely possible to run head on to multiple opposing team members and actually take them on… Like I said, I still love the game and have a tremendous amount of respect for Naughty Dog...”

Posted by: ChazzH69 on 02-27-2010

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned and I know i’m just going on like everyone else but here’s an idea..

Have the option in the profile page for a classic/1.05 Update.

After the matchmaking process the game could check which option everyone picked and have that for the match.

I know it would be very hard to implement (& test) but I know the NDogs could do it.

Posted by: jnco10999 on 02-27-2010

Naughty dog, do something about the people who are glitching. Magnum_gunz was exploiting the fort level, I have replay video as proof. Seriously revert his level back to 1 or ban his account entirely, how pathetic.

Posted by: Booyahinyourface on 02-27-2010

Finally, their discussing the grenades. But they’re doing it wrong. Don’t worry about the damage or radius Naughty Dog. That’s all fine. Just give the freakin’ things a fuse time. And I isn’t a separate playlist for the lowered health on this list?

Posted by: korgon117 on 02-27-2010

Well can’t say im happy to not see weapon damage on that list, but I would be happy to give the different damage depending on limb shot idea, would definitely at least kinda bring back 1.04. I bought da DLC, really love the facility and skins! But I do have a suggestion for Flooded Ruins on plunder. I think the treasure chests would be better placed at the 2 staircases instead of where they are now just because it pretty much goes to whoever has the one near the big dome, because they can shoot people on the other team with a fal right from their spawn and it just makes it feel a bit uneven, anyway thanks ND. And please FIX PARTY SYSTEM! I hate it when the game decides to pit us against each other for no reason, if u cant find anyone else to play, just cancel out the search. If I want to face my friends I will do a custom match, if I want to play as a team with them, I want to stay a team with them.

Posted by: bryankeith on 02-27-2010

i hope that naughtydog switches the shoulder switch which is automatic and not chooseable which is really anoyying. also the health is really fusterating,it seems like naughtydog changed the health 2 times, the first time they changed it, it was ok now they recently did another update 1.5 something like that or which ever one was most recent, this update with the health really sucks...(you know what). they should have left the health the way it was with the first health update. with the new health you cant do s#*@. it makes me not want to play uc2 anymore. i use to love this game but not that much anymore, i feel like trading it in but i just hope naughtdog will readjust the health the way it use to be and change the should switch back or let it be option. I hear alot of people complain about the new health issue and the shoulder switch, i agree with them it sucks. naughtydog if you get this please change the health back and the shoulder switch. those are the wprst updates ever! but good jo iwth everything else

Posted by: swavage415 on 02-27-2010

Ran into some cheaters last night in the first game i played. Guys name was Naughtydog and he and his friends could freeze my game and do whatever they wanted to me. Anytime they got near me I could not move, so they must have been really bad because i actually killed them 4 times. It is really sad to se people cheating in something that is supposed to be fun. Please dont have the hammer keep respawning, or at least spawn it in different places.

Posted by: APG on 02-27-2010

I have to say somedays I like 1.05, and others I wish it would go back to 1.04.

As many people have said before I think ND should implement the hardcore/crushing mode.

Deathmatch= 1.04 damage levels
Deathmatch Crushing= 1.05 damage levels

Except make it so for crushing mode you get more money for everything, so there would be some incentive to play the crushing mode.

Overall though ND, I have to say your guys online support for this game has been awesome. I’ve been playing since day 1 and I’m still addicted to this awesome game. Keep up the good work.

Posted by: Blueforce7 on 02-27-2010

I know I’m just one player, my opinion isn’t as important as that of about 50000 other players, but I think that 1.04 damage should stay however only for limb shots. Body shots should kill faster obviously. Not 1.05 fast, but faster. This here is what may piss some people off, but I think headshots should kill VEYR fast, Not 1 hit but definetly faster. This way, if you get shot in the back you’ll have time to evade & get into cover before dying. Because if you’re rolling, it’d be harder for the person shooting you to hit your back/stomach. This may be going a bit extreme, but I think bullets should lose power with range. Not a significant amount, but enough to stop campers. And my final wish is that the spawn time on Hammers Rpgs & Shotguns be increased. And that the ammo or those guns be lowered. If anyone disagrees with me, thats fine. Please reply, but don’t insult me. Just say nicely so we can have an intellegent convo about it.

Posted by: IcarianHeights on 02-28-2010

An option to toggle the auto shoulder switch off would be a great thing. Any chance for similar treatment with the auto weapon switch when one is out of ammo?

I think most peoples’ issues with the “random grenade explosion radii” is most likely attributable to lag. I would think tinkering with grenade stats now will cause more harm (and bring more grief) than good.

Guns with auto-aiming bullets while your character is in the air (superman shots) really kills it for me, any way to address this?

Reincorporating limb hit-boxes is the perfect way to fine tune the 1.05 changes, I would like to see what comes of this.

Right now steel-fists with the pistol are incredibly overpowered as only one blind fire pistol shot is needed. Truly throws off balance of CQC in game.

Respawn system in the Ice Cave is totally broken and can easily be abused by even semi-competent players.

Posted by: THE_LAST_STRIKER on 02-28-2010

First off, I gotta say, the new maps are great. Nice to have some bigger places to run around in. Definitely worth the money. Also, UDF Elena is the best character in the game. I love Elena’s voice effects, and the outfit is adorable. I’m glad to see you guys working to fix some of the small yet annoying things too.

And yet none of it makes up for what you guys did to the core of the game. I despise the new health/weapon power. Whatever you did, it’s awful. Uncharted 2 multiplayer isn’t fun anymore. I know it sounds harsh but its the truth. I don’t like 1.05, and I know I’m not alone.

Sorry for the previous double post, wonky browser.

One last thing, I always felt like the treasure bearer in Plunder games should have the ability to melee with the treasure. It would be a brutal swing, a two handed full circle swing, olympic hammer throw style. Lets say if using the heavy treasure one could knock down up to three or four players, but it would be VERY slow and would cause a momentary stumble before you could resume, so it couldn’t be spammed.

And also since it would be a knockdown effect, like one hammer shot, and the animation would be very slow you couldn’t kill the players you just stunned by yourself. You would have to have your teammates shoot them or they would recover from their stun before you did. This would add an interesting dynamic and additional incentive to protect the treasure bearer.

I know you guys could come up with a great animation for it (i love watching the characters different animations you guys do a top notch job on that).

“Auto-shoulder switching
We’re thinking about removing this entirely and/or adding a toggle to your online profile.”

THIS!!! FIX THIS!!! PLEASE!!!

I’m gone fore two weeks and you give me this finicky auto side switch, which can unpredictable and imprecise. I like having CONTROL over which way I AIM in a third person SHOOTER.

I love everything else about the update though (Lower health, new medals, etc.)

Oh, and that Limb Damage idea. That would be AWESOME!

Hey ND,

I hear that when you connect to multiplayer now it asks you whether or not you would like to purchase the DLC.

Why not ask future poll questions this way. That way anyone involved in multiplayer maps can be involved in the process.

Just a thought.......

Long time lurker, first time poster....see what 1.05 has resorted me to!
My 2 cents...personally prefer 1.04, but understand you guys are addressing a few things and made the changes in good faith and to keep things fresh?? It’s your game, you can do whatever you feel like, but if I knew the poll was going to change the game play, I would have at least voted. I’m a bit scared to take the current Naughty Poll, in case all the characters in the game are changed to Helghast.
1.05 really took the addiction out of me, my knuckles are returning to normal, I swear I played so much pre-1.05, it was like I had arthritis of a 70 year old and falling asleep at work!!
Don’t get me wrong, I love ND and the game and played it exclusively for many months since its release...but it certainly has lost some of its appeal to me now. Bought the DLC, and have given them a go, not as much as when The Fort came out. The Facility is a great map!
Pretty much everyone else has said it all, e.g. sniper big toe kills, auto shoulder switch etc, I’m sure “you’re listening”
But as for glitches, don’t bother fixing them, I think it’s way easier to just ban those that exploit it? Give those cheaters some pay back!

I hope the health will return back to normal, leg shots not doing the same damage as chest, FAL getting a major nerf. (This weapon was already good enough in 1.04 but you guys made it even better.) The biggest glitch I want fixed though is corner shooting. (It’s where you zoom with the fal behind a wall then move to the side to where the little red reticle is outside the wall. You can shoot enemies through the wall it’s dumb)

I wonder how many of you consider yourselves “hardcore” gamers? So far the only thing you seem “hardcore” at is whining.

How many of you voted on the poll? I voted for the health to be lowered(I’m not a “n00b” either; I’ve been playing since October.). The people who wanted a game where some stealth actually mattered won. Get over it. If you cannot handle it then I suppose just keep right on whining.

P.S. Any player who is 51 or above start using your badges.

Don’t do this playlist 1.04 and 1.05 crap, it’s only gonna mess up the community and matches would get harder to find.
I know, I’ve played since the Beta. It’s still the same, fun Uncharted 2.
People complain way too much these days…

But I would love to see some kind of health update, considering that the gameplay indeed has changed to mostly camping. It’s not bad, but, matches were a lot louder and crazier before. Something was different.

Posted by: Maeham247 on 02-28-2010

Naughty dog im tired of you guys messing up my game. I did not pay for this wack version of multiplaye its gay. You guys need to stop be insecure an leave shit alone. Most of the people that want lower health were tha people that suck an needed to play with some legos. u people need to change the game back r mack this wack shit a match type cause its gay and so r yal for this i rather play gow2 now thanks alot losers

Posted by: Pimtassilgo on 02-28-2010

My only complaint is about the new health. Seriously, don’t trasnform this game in a Call of Duty, It just doesn’t fit this game. The game changed drastically, for the worst. Please, put the older health “bar” back.

Posted by: iain13 on 02-28-2010

Hi Naughty Dog!
Love the game (: mulitiplayer is awesome. Even though i had to start from lvl 43 to lvl 1 but thats alright now
I dont know what to think of update 1.05
In some ways its good.. im some its terrible..
I really don’t want to seem rude but what possesed you to make the sniper a one shot kill. It’s like a campers dream...you sit in a corner and if someone is near you,you shoot them. From a campers perspective ovcourse.
But it’s happened to me alot and its just silly :/
But anyways i really love the maps and skins (: you guys are amazingly talented and keep up the good work (:
But honestly the sniper issue is really bad..and the grenade explosion damage range is not enough.. i’ve noticed a dramatic difference in it :( and also there should be a drop in drop out system? No penalties.. most of the time it isn’t even anyones fault that they have went out.. “connection error” anyone?

Enough of my complaints :/
I still love the game! Best game i have ever played
Multiplayer is addictive aswell and i love how you actually listen to people!
:D

i find it wierd how u are thinking about making changes to grenades when i barley hear any1 complaining about them and i still see that u are not thinking of making changes to the weapon balance.. which every1 was complaining about. i kno this list isnt gaurenteed so please take some of these comments in hand.. oh yea and one more thing u guys need to change the respawns

Posted by: Lionheart1707 on 02-28-2010

Hey ND its me again the one with the error syncing models thing. I was able to fix it, but there is a big problem I bought the DLC of uncharted1 for 5.99$.And when I was able to connect again it said that I didn’t have it. I have already downloaded it two times and still don’t have it. There must be something you can do help.

Posted by: losPrests on 02-28-2010

Fix the matchmaking please. Lately its EXTRA slow and always puts me in 3v3 or a 4v4. Lag in the game is getting worse for some reason. I think you guys should make the game like 1.04 again but add limb damage like hs killing within 3-4 shots brings even more skill and body shots like 9-10 and limbs take 15-over you guys decide but damage should be just like before but with headshots doing alot more damage cause hs are for the skilled players.

Hey Arne, i hate 1.05 but ive actually bought the new dlc and its great. The only thing i hate about it, its there just 2 heroes characters ,ive bought it cuz i though i could play eddy raja as a hero and navarro as a villain , because there like 2 heroes skin and 4 vilain skin . Eddy was a good guy in the Eye of the indra episode so i though if you could just switch him to heroes skin it would be great ;D BUT i still hate 1.05 XD

Posted by: swavage415 on 02-28-2010

Fix the f-ing glitches. I am seeing more and more cheaters to the point where there is at least 1 cheater for every hour of play. That is way to much for me to handle. The Fal is already stupid, so why to you have to hide behind walls and shoot through walls with it? My last 12 games had cheaters in 3 of them and my kd is beginning to suffer. I would be over 2.0 if it wasnt for bullshit lag and cheaters.

Posted by: Reyahwind on 02-28-2010

Arne
I think this sounds like a positive change.
If the hitboxes are used right then I think that the game will be at its best.

GRENADES- I saw someone say something about LAG AFFECTING THE BLAST radius the most (although this website doesn’t let me ‘reply’ to comments for some reason :S)

AUTO SHOULDER SWITCH - Just add a TOGGLE, it works for some but not others.

BOOSTERS - Are probably fine as is. Plus whoever said voted for the ‘limited Sit Aware use’ in matches is obviously not using it right. Don’t listen to him Arne!
Also I’d like to see some updates INTRODUCING NEW BOOSTERS.
Watch matches, see what people do, then apply it. That’d be interesting.

GLITCHES - I think the main one is ‘The Fort,’ definately. The common one near the PLUNDER CHEST UNDERNEATH THE STONE.
I also saw one last night where a guy had managed to stand ON TOP OF THE ARCH WAY way near the same places and was RUNNING ALONG THE SURROUNDING WALLS.

Since 1.05 i’m convinced that Uncharted online is being changed for the better.I respect ND for listening to us all.
It seems everytime I log on to see what’s going on, there are even more people giving feedback, I think you must already know how many people want this game to live for a long time.
(AT LEAST UNTIL UNCHARTED £ ;D)

Good Job Arne and the whole ND team
-Uncharted fan for life-

Hello Naughty Dog
I think it’s useless to say that this is really the best game I ever played. I play it everyday, and I enjoy it a lot playing it with my friends.
But lately… I was thinking that maybe you shouldn’t add too many new things, but make better the features of the game.
I mean:
- I STILL CAN’T UNDERSTAND why in this game Sully seems to be COMPLETELY forgotten. Ok, I can understand that about the story, but what about the multiplayer? Why the hell we’re playing as the model of Sully from Uncharted 1 ? You already have the character model of Uncharted 2 (the one of the Borneo level), ALSO his Winter version (at the ending). Well, we have 5 Drakes, 3 Elenas, 3 Flynns (!), 2 Chloe, and we the hell we have only an “old” version of one of the best characters of the Uncharted saga? C’mon. I’m sure that everyone would love to play as U2 Sully and Winter Sully. He’s not less important than Flynn, I think.
- Speaking about that, Heist Chloe would be awesome too. You already have the character model… is it really impossible make these characters playable in multiplayer?
- Instead of making playable characters who are not in the story (without voices), you should to improve the PRINCIPAL characters of the game.
- About the 1.05 update, I really miss the matches of the 1.04… that was SIMPLY perfect. And NO, I’am not a n00b, I don’t have kills problems, I’ve got a good ratio. But something si telling me that it would me MOOORE better if we could return to the 1.04 features.

Hope you could do something,especially about the Sully part, but don’t worry, this will remain the BEST game we ever played. Thanks a lot for making us so happy with this awesome game.

If you keep the weapons tweaked like this than you should make the respond 20 to 25 seconds if you change the damage back then the responds should be at fifteen because anything lower make it seem like there more players than there actually are

Posted by: zombietrooper576 on 02-28-2010

Keep the sniper rifle one hit no matter what or make a new one that can kill you in one shot also put the second shotgun into more maps and not just the plaza and could you add the the revoler gun and the defender too but make it were the defender doesn’t just have lowered accuracy but more stoping power then the regular pistol but not sure how the revoler would work but try your best

Posted by: zombietrooper576 on 02-28-2010

For some boosters try faster health regeneration, less bullet damage from two-handed and one-handed, more ammo in guns that aren’t affected by the already available more ammo booster and thats all I can think of for right now
