REMINDER: The Lab – Sniper Extermination
Don’t forget to log into UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer this weekend to check out the next episode of “The Lab”—Sniper Extermination.
By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Friday June 25 2010
Welcome back to another episode of “The Lab” and the episode which concludes our first month of this very special playlist. If you’re looking forward to what’s coming up after this weekend in “The Lab” – and we don’t blame you one bit – we’ll be posting the July schedule early next week.
“The Lab” is open from TODAY, Friday, June 25, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?) through Monday, June 28, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?).
This episode of “The Lab” is Sniper Extermination, which features a snipers-only race to see which team can exterminate all the other players first. Get exterminated by an opponent and you’re out for the remainder of that round. Exterminate out all your opponents and your team wins the round. Best of five rounds wins the match. Find some key sniping spots, make sure to watch your six and be very, very careful peeking out from behind cover, lest you be exterminated with one well-placed headshot. Can I say “exterminate” one more time? You bet.
The active maps for this weekend of “The Lab” are:
- The Sanctuary
- The Train Wreck
- The Plaza
- The Lost City
Oh, and we’ve turned off Boosters for “The Lab” playlist so there’s no fools with Situational Awareness messing with the deliberately tense environment of an all snipers, sudden death match.
Do us a favor and log in to UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer next weekend for a little something special. Yes, I said next weekend.

How are you?

Yeah, they had a bit of an ‘oops’ and released some of the new code that wasn’t supposed to come out until next week, including 20 new levels. They are going to be posting an additional update patch to the game later on today I think, and posting details of the new update on the blog here ahead of schedule to catch up with the leak. At least, that’s what I gather from the forum.

Whatthahell is going on on Uncharted 2,
They’re joking us
You need 300 million to be level 80
I have calculated that need 100 WHOLE DAYS to be level 80
I said to my friends, nobody likes it anymore now.
Maybe if there was ‘Double Cash’? I don’t know..
But it’s also shit for players: Shoot 3 times with AK47, and hit with your hands, your dead.
Don’t give this update to 300 million, much less

I’m level 59 [53 million] It’s 1/5 part of 300 million

Naugty Lords of dog, I am totally disgusted with the last actualizazion, I I can not spend hours and hours playing your game in order to have 300 million, I have a life, work and friends, I’ve bought all the maps, and characters, but for me this is already so horny update staff and more to get to level 80, I haveis crossed the line, here a user who is very, very angry, do not buy any dcl think more, and I will think about buying the uncharted 3, that for me this is a stabbing.
Sorry for my English, but I use google translator, I’m from Spain and my friends think alike.

You don’t have to play if you don’t want to, you know. Nobody’s forcing you to do it.

Nobody is forcing us, but we want to be the highest level, which is totally impossible. Some of us were so close to level 60, which was our goal and now to have to play 5x more is very annoying.I’m level 56 by the way, and was planning to get to level 60 during the summer but with these new levels, being level 60 is pretty much useless......

Also, I totally agree with anyone that says these levels were a mistake.

Hey Arne,
As much I was looking forward to this lab, I’ve come to find a few issues with it. The removal of the pistole was a great idea. My biggest issue is that the combination of lag and hitbox detection has turned this mode into a crapshoot. I was reviewing my cinema files and found quite a few of my deaths were from phantom bullets. These bullets were at least 1 foot from me, but took me down. A majority of the time the shooter didn’t even have their reticule on me. I don’t know if things can be tightened up, but this issue has reduced the enjoyment slightly for me.
Otherwise, great work, loving all the new additions.
p.s. Consider putting the 9mm as alternate weapon in the lab?
