Live updates have been made to Uncharted 3 multiplayer. Continue reading for full details.

By Eric-ND | Twitter @ericmonacelli | Thursday January 19 2012

We are able to make running live updates to certain aspects of Uncharted 3 multiplayer and have made the follow tweaks active today. You should see your version number read as 1.03.019 now.

- The FAL-SS weapon power has been changed. It now takes five bullets to the body to kill an opponent. It previously took four bullets. It will still take three bullets to the head to take down an enemy using the FAL-SS.

- Death planes on certain maps have been changed so that map exploits are no longer functional. In other words, we’ve removed hidden tricks that were allowing players to hide and take out opponents without the possibility of return fire.

We will continue to monitor our play tests and your feedback and adjust what we can with the end goal of making your gameplay experience more enjoyable. Let us know your thoughts and we’ll keep you updated with news as any future changes roll out. See you online!

I have a problem with the treasures too! I´ve been playing Plunder since last Legacy (i´m level 75, 3rd legacy) and i have 3/4 treasure for Flynn´s M9! I jsut kill the guys with the Flynn´s M9, but is always the same treasure...Plz fix it…

dude, one shot may not seem like a lot, but i is. i dont use the fal often, but now i can escape it or go head up with someone who is using it that much easier. you’d be surprised. i definitely agree with olivier even though i’m not a frequent fal user

Posted by: TheExtracter on 01-26-2012

Dont listen to the naysayers they can’t come up with an excuse for there lack of skill so they blame the weapon. Seriously i saw some people saying that elenas g mal is overpowered. btw can please input an option to turn off dlc i mean dont get me wrong u guys did a great job with the maps but sometimes i just feel like playing on uncharted 3 maps thanx in advance.

Posted by: DaPrak on 01-26-2012

I really doubt that it players are just making an excuse. I’ve noticed a difference in aim when using the GMAL (or any long gun) and aiming is definitely not the same (there is a noticeable difference). There are multiple players making posts about how the aiming feels different POST-1.03 patch. I think something is definitely up.

Posted by: MagixAdept on 01-25-2012

My team has also done the same tests. We even tried after the changes to the FAL. It’s still the winner at the moment. Not complaining much cuz the 1 extra bullet does help a bit. For now my team is trolling in plunder or Co-op. Just waiting for that true TDM experience again. Beta ftw!

I’ve been trying forever to get cat ears for Elena!! Them treasures aren’t dropping! I still have 0/2 of the necessary treasures! I JUST want to put the ears on her!! Why is the game not dropping the treasures??? *crying*

Posted by: DaPrak on 01-25-2012

I know, after the update my numbers have dropped so much and I can’t ever get a straight on kill anymore. It feels really different to me. Try scoping in with the G-Mal, it’s not the same at all. I have no idea what ND did, did they unknowingly do it? Whatever was changed, is really frustrating.

Posted by: georges113 on 01-25-2012

hey ND i like the change u made it actually makes a different i think the FAL-SS is perfect this way, and any gun is good if u like it and use it well i use g-mal and i can kill a fal-ss (now) so the gun is perfect this way please dont change it anymore

Posted by: Kayyay on 01-26-2012

what is going on with the gmal? 2 bursts and I’m dead! I don’t even have time to figure out where the shots are coming from or sometimes I can’t even tell that I’ve been shot until I’ve died. Its just frustrating.

Posted by: ZeeMUDBUTT on 01-26-2012

You guys are cracking me up. First it was the KAL , then it was the dreaded FAL , now everyone is crying or starting to cry about the GMAL. You all remind me of that bum on the street who asks you for some pocket change and you give him a dollar. Then he asks you for a cigerette.

That one bullet they added makes a very big difference to a FAL user. It just seems to me that a weapon that is a one shot burst or a 3 shot burst should be more powerful than a fully automatic weapon. That’s the trade off, it seems like common sense to me. I get it, and according to SQUIIDX.. I’m the dumbest person on the planet.

All this doesn’t matter to me anymore, cause I haz Eddy’s AK now. See yall this weekend.. pah chu! pah chu ! ^___^

Posted by: Au10tic on 01-26-2012

something feels odd now - i cannot put my finger on it yet but something feels weird while aiming not only with g-mal but with every other long gun. I was playing some matches yesterday and it was hard to get kills with g-mal, so i switched to AK no luck then tried M9 and got some kills.. but it seems like on all those matches people were just blind firing and getting better scores than me..

Posted by: DaPrak on 01-26-2012

Touche (if anyone still says that lol). Naughty Dog needs to see if anything got changed and how, because I definetly notice a different. Plus there’s people blindfiring more than usual now cause of that. Strange.

Posted by: Bovrillor on 01-27-2012

Regarding the more recent comments in this thread;

* Gmal still takes 3 bursts to kill, not 2. It may seem powerful, but it still doesn’t come close to the ‘damage per second’ of the FAL.

* The masses have only switched to Gmal because of everyone saying ‘OMG FAL nerf WTFBBQ’ etc.

* The ‘feedback’ when you’re taking damage is too subtle, there needs to be a better visual representation of player damage. This is why the Gmal seems overpowered - burst weapons give very little feedback compared to automatics/semis.

* People claiming the M9 kills in 9 bullets - really? Seems more like 15+ to me. Half a clip on average for torso hits. Pathetic compared to FAL.

* I’ve not noticed this change in aiming some people have spotted - if anything my aim has improved recently. Whether this is due to patching or natural skill increase, I couldn’t say.

* I still think the FAL should get it’s damage restored, and Rate of Fire reduced instead. Rapid semi-automatic weapons + laggy netcode = not much fun. I quite often get hit by 3-5 bullets simultaneously, which results in insta-death for me… and I have a fast internet connection. If anything, the FAL seems to give an advantage to laggers - my entire clan has noticed this.

Posted by: Au10tic on 01-28-2012

@ Bovrillor - how was your aiming/killing before this update? mine on an average was like 15-4 now is like either 8-7 or 6-11 (lol, really) i mean im not a pro cus i’ve played or seen better players but now seems like i get killed easily by AK’s or M9 from far away, i’ve watched the cinema and see how i got killed and when i put the view on their side, they’re not even aiming right like they’re shooting all over the place and i get hit/killed by a couple of bullets, so now i switched to either M9 or AK myself and get better results.. Gmal now feels like the FAL getting stuck if you press the shooting button too fast, which wasnt the case for me before.

I have an issue and have nowhere else to post. I am unable to log in to the forums, it keeps giving an error about my email already being in the system. This is the only place where I seem to be able to login. Logging in here does not carry over to the forums page. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried all available browsers, clearing caches and active logins but nothing works.

I am already tired of playing cooperative venture, I’ve played many, many times the same, and no pick up the treasures of Marco Polo, Sir Francis Drake, Drake Doughnut, skelzor. I really want to catch them all, but I could not, it is very buggy, I never get the treasures, and when there are treasures repetitivos.Espero useless and can clean it as soon as possible, because I’m about to give up!

They could also remove the sensitivity of the weapons, it really jumps up, it is almost impossible to hit those shots, one hit and totally lost the sight, when he returns to target the enemy already ran longe.Muito bad it should be equal to Uncharted 2 !

Posted by: nikelite7 on 01-29-2012

Ugh...Ok let me start off by saying I’m all for what you guys do to improve this game; and tweaking the FAL-SS from 4 bullets to 5 bullets (in the body) didn’t do much in my opinion. After testing the changes and comparing what it is now to what it was, I feel it didn’t do much for me due to the fact I don’t count the amount of bullets I shoot to kill an opponent, rather than shooting until that opponent is dead! On average players take an extra shot without even thinking. So 4 to 5 nice change to reduce the over powering but not a huge impact on it. But, I want to take a side track here and ask, where are the cinematic intro you’ve done for a selected few maps? I love them; I feel it’s a great idea and a nice spin on the multiplayers gameplay. I felt when you guys decided to introduce it in the beta, I thought it would have been on every map if not most maps, and especially for the new map packs to come and so far with the latest map pack I’ve got nothing.

hello naughty dog i m not glad with this update because now its takes five bullets for a kill! If our enemy have m9 at faster rate we can do nothing because of the FAL-SS rate of fire if you want to do this increase the rate of fire of FAL-SS…

Posted by: SarabJit771 on 01-29-2012

Naughty Dog can you please fix the cop glitches like syria,london-underground I had never get the wrathful mask for skelzor in syria from that cluster bomb guy its a glitch or what? and that RING from hammer guy… I heard many peoples to say that if you pick up the treasure 2nd you get the ring but i didn’t get it? PLEASE fix it!

Posted by: DA-Rising_Legend on 01-30-2012

I completely agree with him, ND seriously sort out the CO-OP glitches already, me and him have been trying to get Skelzor for a long time and it is glitched. You guys aren’t really doing as good as you did back with Uncharted 2, i remember the good old days when we used to have issues, you guys used to solve the problems right away but now it is just getting on my nerves because you guys keep focusing on other things that aren’t even important. Like the Fal-SS and Quickboom who cares if it is overpowered or not, I just use the M9 or the G-MAL and as for quickboom it was better with 7 medals rather than 10 considering there are some players like myself out there that are currently using negative boosters, 7 medals for quickboom just somehow felt more rewarding. Also to be honest the FAL-SS is good as it is because it is more of a challenge for us in a way and you unlock that weapon at rank 50 so of course it is suppose to be more powerful than others and the rest of other stuff in the uncharted 3 multiplayer is just cheap and pretty much noobish. I’m probably just going to rank up to 75 in 3rd legacy and then stop playing the game as it’s getting old.

Posted by: Connor_mufc_1985 on 01-30-2012

Despite what some people on this site , the forums , and other internet sites Uncharted 3 multiplayer is near perfect Naughty Dog however the one and only thing about your game that SUCKS is the level cap who’s dumb idea was it to make it so easy to rank up we could max rank within a month? Can you at least confirm that theirs going to be a level cap increase because im sick and tired of having 12 million xp and being max rank and im sure thousands more players are , noob move Naughty Dog , noob move , SMH

Posted by: rocknrocker8 on 01-30-2012

The fal was over powered it still is a bit but the gmal matches well with it and you can kill them. It all depends on your aim and if u know how to straf or not you can’t complain about every single gun that beats u head up like are you trying to get the next best thing for better players nerfed just cause u get 3 unluckies every game with like 3 kills just learn how to play the way the better players do watch cinemas… and aiming the Kal-7 even if i knew how to do it i wouldn’t the gun is shit and i’ll kill that best plays of the week dude if he is aiming the kal 7 with any gun.. kal-7 is for blindfire thats why the recoil is horrible the game is pretty even ppl dont use the fal much anymore just learn the guns and how to shoot them… its not just press the button you need the right rhythm/ trigger finger then you can get kills all their is to it and some ppl complaining about grenades its all fundamentals using walls or corners thats it

Posted by: Seven-VII on 01-30-2012

Honestly to one of those who used the FAL-SS it has made a massive difference, Elena’s G-MAL is now the most powerful weapon in the game. But to be fair I can’t really play because I’ve been sat here for the past 40 minutes trying to connect online, only to get every type of error message going. ‘Error ticket’ ‘Error Sycning levels’ Honestly, whatever you’ve done to the server part, I can’t connect these live updates have really done one over on me. Can’t even get online. I’ve quit the game and come back in, but that crashed the ps3 and forced it to restart. I’ve turned the ps3 off and on again. But still every error going. Fix it, please.

ND when are you going to address the problem with the glitching that goes on in the game. I heard and watched the glitch of invisibility on YouTube and have realized that more and more people are using it. Most of my friends that have enjoyed the Uncharted series are no longer playing competitive because of all the glitch, lag, and cheating that is going on in the game. The Fall ss fix is great but it seems like you guys do just enough to keep people somewhat happy. I have not played competitive mode in more than a week and i do not expect that I will be going back any time soon due to all the cheating. I have always played fair and I have never cheated to get to the rank that I am and it sucks that the people that play legit lose out to those that want to cheat to get to their rank, and than act like they are good when they either quit any game that they are sucking on, or use some cheat that people have come up with to get an advantage in the game. I not only spent the $60 to buy the game but I have spent the extra $24.99 to be apart of the Fortune hunters Club ( and did it when it first came out, not after you had to sweeten the pot to entice more people to spend their hard earned money ) I want this to be a fair game and I am not complaining about the weapons or anything else you have done to try to make this a better game, the only thing I hope that you get out of this post is that I am asking ND to please give us a game that we spent our money on that works and you don’t have to spend you time backing out of games because of UR team splitting which I thought you fixed after the 2nd update, or get EXTREMELY PISSED OFF @ all the glitch lag cheaters in competitive mode that have made this game a co-op/campaign game that is lacking BIG time in on-line game play that people only want to cheat their way to the top. Please reply to my post and let me know what ND is going to do to make this right and a long time gamer happy to continue with this and any other series that ND brings out in the future.

Thank you,
xICEMAN73x

MAN STOP CRYING ABOUT THE SPAWNING IN A COOP THAT NO ONE PLAYS AND PLAY REAL COOP! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WHO PUTS ON CAPS LOCK TO BITCH ABOUT HUNTER ARENA IN MY LIFE!!!! NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THAT GAME TYPE, AND YOU MY FRIEND, ARE A SEXIST CO-OP HUNTER PLAYING PIG. (take me 1v1 if u have shit to say)

Posted by: devine_mortal on 01-30-2012

Hey ND!

Another suggestion which I think would not be difficult to implement. Please add “Random” as on option for Player skins. Multiplayer skins are growing and growing and it’s difficult and frustrating to keep changing the skin after every match if you want to play as another “Hero” or “Villian”. A small but hope a useful suggestion.

Posted by: Raggar94 on 01-30-2012

ND!
* I believe you should make the GMAL a 3 burst kill than a 2. I don’t know where people are getting the idea that it takes 3 bursts instead of 2, but the reason i say it should take 3 and not 2 is because since that FAL patch, many of the players in the community have switched to that weapon and ever since i’ve been getting into gun battles where there’s 2, even 3 people with the GMAL and they take me down like nothing (I use the M9 by the way). OR maybe just lower its ROF just slightly (not to the point where its useless of course).

* Furthermore, I believe you should remove the ROF mod for the M9. The reason why i say this is just because there is no real reason to have it. I mean the gun’s ROF is good enough, there shouldn’t be a ROF mod for the M9.

* Lastly all i have to say is just look into the treasure glitches and i hope you get it fixed soon.

Thank you, ND

Naughty Dog There are a lot of people unhappy with certain changes. For me this multiplayer is the perfect online experience and I stand by that with all the glitches in the game. But obviously you want to fix the glitches because they happen to me just like everyone else. I’m just saying It happens little to me and keep working at it. By the way the gun’s are perfectly balanced it all depends who is playing the game against those who are not able to play.

Posted by: x0xave on 01-31-2012

I’m So pissed, I’ve been trying to get the “Jade Ganesh” Statue to unlock Elena’s G-MAL and I haven’t. I’ve been trying since bloody NOV 3rd, I’m so livid. It’s a giant glitch, because I’ve leveled up my Treasure Hunter Booster twice, and I’m Legacy 2. Please ND, you do so well. But this is insane. I keep trying, but always get a red or blue one, It’s such a joke trying to get this treasure......

Posted by: RodrigoUFC on 02-05-2012

Just give up my friend, it’s Glitched for some players (like some can get Skelzor, and others never could since the beginning). I’m included in this Glitch, I’m in the last legacy and Gold Treasure Hunter and just cannot get this dam “Jade Ganesh"… Sometimes the blue and red ones drop 6/8 times in the same game, but the last one just wont drop… And for the record, I have an 3.62 K/D ratio, so I kill a lot in each team objective games (up to 30 kills or more), still, never comes out… It’s just ridiculous, I’ve lost the count of how many matches of T.O I’ve played in this last month, till the point I just gave up… Now I’m using Flynn’s G-MAL…

I am so glad I traded my Uncharted 3 in for Battle Field 3.. I am not a fan boy, a hater or anything else like that, in fact, I am one of the regular Uncharted 2 players online that have played Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 for a long time...Uncharted 2 was awesome, I ( like many of you ), got to level 60, then 80 when they raised it.. Uncharted 2 was awesome online.. then came Uncharted 3… what a joke and a crappy game online.. Uncharted 3 is just so choppy of gameplay and you all know what I mean.. If you guys really want to play a great online shooter type game, please buy Battlefield 3.. It is a 1st person view game, and believe me, I come from 3rd person games like all of you, I was used to Uncharted 2, remember.. but after I got used to the whole 1st person view.. WOW is all I can say.. Battle field 3 is like an epic game for sure.. if you think there are lots of options in Uncharted 3 to change weapons and such, you have not seen anything at all.. Battlefield 3 has to many real life weapons, all of them have 10 core accessories you unlock, everything fro suppressors to scopes , and Battlefield 3 just got new maps to download from the store, comes with 4 new maps, and 10 or so assignments ( things to do to unlock even more weapons ).. Battlefield 3 is the most fun game I have ever played and the grafics are amazing.. the maps are so huge and its like a real life war simulator really.. I have never played Call Of Duty or even other Battlefield games in the past, And I have played Uncharted 2 & 3 in the past and had many friends from there go over to Battlefield 3.. It is well worth buying for sure people..You have no idea how good Battlefield 3 is online.. They have team deathmatch, squad deathmatch, Conquest ( where you actually drive tanks,jeeps, jets, helicopters and more.. the grafics are the best you will ever see...Watch some youtube vids and you will see how powerful the grafics are.. Dice uses the Frostbite 2 engine and it paid off big time.. This should be the game of the year for sure ( hope to see you on Battlefield 3 soon...)

Posted by: Next_Dragon on 02-01-2012

Hey ND, I have found an issue that is small but still needs to be fixed. While playing CO-OP adventure or hunter arena by a custom game if you are not the party leader you can not get any Hot Potato Metals. I am not sure if this is true for any other metals but my friend and I noticed this last night when trying to get our kickback endurance to level 3. Great job so far with this Game!

Posted by: katarina66 on 02-04-2012

@ohioguy452 you don’t have to come here to talk shit about U3 and advertise for BF3 this website is not made for that.
Anyway just as x0xave i’ve been trying to get the lords of the obstacles for a REALLY long time I’ve got treasure hunter on level 3 and I’ve been playing team objectiv for a long time now, and before i’ve tried to get the Jade mothers and I’ve in legacy level 3 now and almost the whole first and second legacy I’ve tried to get Jade mothers and after a while I realised that it would be impossible for me to get Lazarevich FAL-SS and I also realised that I didn’t even want to have it because I didn’t want to look like a noob..
Also I think that it’s WAY to rare to get the hard or crushing treasures on co-op adventure I’ve already got genghis khan and sir francis drake but I’ve been trying to get marco polo for a long time, when I started to accually try to get him I had 2/3 treasures (only the antique pipe left) and since then I’ve killed and picked up Eddy’s , Flynn’s and Lazarevich’s treasures about 100 times. 100 times naughty dog! and just got the treasures for normal and easy..or ONE time a got the ottoman ring but that is the only one.
Also when I’ve tried to get Skelzor with a friend of mine I’ve got 1/3 and he’s got 2/3 and we both have microphones and we have never got the hard/crushing treasures at the same time so if he pickes up the wrath treasure set I pick up the elaborate amulets.
The FAL-SS is still to overpowered as you might know because of the earlier comments.
Please naughty dog it’s so many things that you have to work on FAL-SS is the thing that almost everyone thinks is to overpowered, but it’s not the only thing that you have to work on slightly. Those things are starting to piss me off and I really love this game, I love all the games in the series and will buy the last of us as soon as you can buy it but there are still some things that you really need to work on and then it will be the perfect game.

Posted by: darthgrievous184 on 02-05-2012

Thanks ND, Only 1 shot more, the ROF is OK, I dont understand why the people is fighting so much, they want that the people that uses the FAL losses every sinle time because they just use it, Just I more shot and the ROF fire is OK

Posted by: iSEVEN-UP on 02-05-2012

I think they should change the rarity in the treasures for the 4 skeletons. Genghis Khan is easy but its almost impossible to get Francis Drake or Skeltzor. Obviously Doughnut Drake is impossible to get. Lower the price on the Treasure Hunters membership. All in all this is one of the best multiplayers ive played in a long time!

Posted by: holysniper305 on 02-09-2012

i think you guys should make 1 major patch that fixes the fal-ss prob and other weapon problems plus in the patch fix the maps a little also i know this is milking it but you should add more guns to the game because personally ive with every gun and they have gotten boring for me anyway if you add me ill play some Uncharted 3 with u guys PSN name- holysniper305 Rank- Legacy level 16
