“The Fort” exploit fixed and we’ve got more things on the way
We just pushed a live update to everyone that fixed a few known glitches on the “The Fort” multiplayer map that we’ve monitored being exploited.
That’s all for now, but we have been actively working on a bunch of things big and small to support our multiplayer fans. We wanted to take this opportunity to give you an idea of what is still to come.
Just like what our update to “The Fort” today, we’ll be addressing exploitable glitches in other multiplayer maps in the very near future. After those go through, we will be keeping a very close eye on multiplayer games to see if any new exploits arise that need to be addressed.
Speaking of “The Fort,” we’ve got more than that currently in our downloadable content pipeline. Many of us at the studio have been feverishly working on more DLC for multiplayer since UNCHARTED 2 went gold. You’ll be hearing more about our plans in the future.
Our past two Double Cash weekends were great successes, however throughout both weekends you weren’t receiving the doubled cash amount for Medal awards we intended you to receive. That will be addressed so that the next Double Cash weekend everyone will be receiving the full extent of Double Cash. We may just do something special to make that weekend even sweeter!
Of course, we’ll continue to have Double Cash weekends in the future, along with the special in-game events – like our recent Halloween and Thanksgiving events – and we’ll continue to explore other ideas to keep things fresh.
We also wanted to thank everyone who played during our Experimental Weekend testing out multiplayer with lowered player health. We take your comments and feedback seriously, so if you haven’t told us what you think yet, be heard by voting on our front page poll and leaving a comment on our Experimental Weekend blog post. We appreciate all of it, positive and critical, so thanks!

Naughtydog!!! i was wondering if you guys an add a new game mode, I was thinking like a 2v2v2v2v2; its called wingman in gears of war 2. I think this game mode is very fun and was wondering if you guys can maybe have it on your next experimental weekend (if there is another one).
Oh wow!! That is a really good idea!! Naughty Dog, please do the 2v2v2v2v2 mode!! That would be really fun!! Also, I know you guys are always busy and but I can’t wait to hear about a full map pack coming out. I really hope it’s soon because I can’t get enough of this game and I really can’t wait to see more things that you guys put together on the multiplayer.
yeah it’ll be so fun i just can’t wait for the more DLC map
New DLC. thanks ND cant wait
For each major holiday naughty dog should make a map with a theme of whatever holiday it is. Like for christmas you could be in a toy factory. You get the idea.
Yeah that would be really fun to do a 2v2v2v2v2, it’s a great idea.
to that a good idea but they should put a twist in it so it wont be like gears
I like this idea, but how would they do the teams?
Drake shooting Elena wouldn’t seem right.
Well I have an Idea: The Players would be unable to select characters due to the fact that that would create much more categories to choose from and would have to alter the teams in other games so first team: Nathan and Sully or other non-skeleton heroe (Characters may vary depending on the map; Second Team: Villains w/ face showing; Third team: Villains w/ Armour; 4th team: Dead Explorer; 5th Team: Skeletons.
it could have you play as villain’s only.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUCK.
2v2v2v2v2 would be sick. i always watched the fort for anything blindfire so i could hunt the cheaters down. better that its gone. Maybe you could put glitches on custom maps, that could pack me a few wins. Another idea for multiplayer maps are the courtyard outside of the temple in the game, the borneo campsite, and the museum. some characters to add are the heavy soldier, the tibetan soldier, doughnut zoran lazaraveic, the yeti, chloe black and orange shirts, elena dirty , drake dirty ( add to multi ), and lost city guardian. you could also try making the money process faster if you add more characters. also wondering if the add on map will be in psn store soon. Just want some more expansion to the greatest multiplayer of all time. oh and 2v2 would be sick. also a good mode would be race, for multiplayer, nvm that’s dumb
If you’re talking about The Fort level, it’s already out. Start the game, download the patch and then you have the map.
The museum woulb be pretty sweat
i would so love that
especially because i got a little bored of the current modes at level 54 and i have alot more to do
70-75% health is the best way to go!
the 2v2v2v2v2 idea is great, naughty dog you should really look into it
and i was thinking, as an update, i would like longer death matches (as a separate playlist of course) cuz 50 kills goes by WAYYYYY to fast… and also, i think you guys could make killer money if you guys charge 99cents or something for a few new gun types (that you start out with) like new gun type Arctic wolf sniper, 99cents, i would buy it! so yea…
that would be awesum, maybe as new skins tho, tha gaurdians would be sweet, and crossbow and wes 44 would be nice add onz.
Please don’t take plunder only away. Would it be possible to have an online board to make it easy to find players who like to play honest rounds? It’s frustrating when you have players who don’t move, quit, or throw the idol away once you get to 4 captures.
yeah, itll be nice to try out new modes, even if its for a weekend to see players’ response
on a side note, so snowman costume for christmas weekend?....oh btw, please have the eye of indra as a bundle in canada, like what you did for the europeans
i second this idea!
im a big gears of war 2 fan, but lately ive been persuadeing my clan members to buy ps3’s and your excellent game! i cant get enough of it,to hell with gears, long live UC:2!! and yeah, clan addition would be a great thing.
keep up the good work, ND!!
I’ve never seen a company support a game as much as Naughty Dog have since the games release.
By the way thank you ND for the 2 new multiplayer skins in the motion comic pack, sadly i’ll have to wait till tomorrow to get it as I’ve got work now. It’s going to be a long shift.
2v2v2v2v2 sounds like an awesome idea and would definitely bring something unique to the table compared to other games out there. Also, like others have said, a clan system would be a welcome addition, if not an obvious one to add in the future. We definitely need more FREE maps though, no offense to naughty dog, but the community online is very small. Future maps that are priced isn’t a good idea, seeing as how the not everybody will buy the dlc in the first place, which means that small community just got even smaller for the p2p maps.
2 v 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 would be pretty awesome. the lowered health system was really great. HOWEVER, it should be given its own playlist because U2 is different from all the shooters out there and killing someone isn’t just bout 1 bullet. thats what is great about u2.
yeah that sounds cool and make new guns like the wes in multi player or the mp 40
cool hope we can get skins
You should be able to customize maps that are already made like the plaza or the fort.
Ya thats a good idea here is another idea, in MW2 they have a free for all mode, that would be amazing for Uncharted 2. Picture this 10 people in the Sancuary, all trying to kill each other this is a amazing idea!!!!!
Yeah a mode like wingman would be sick, also another map
i wouldnt mind free for ALL.. tha’d be sweet or maybe a 1v1
uncharted 3.....
No 2v2v2v2v2 team deathmatch or deathmatch(free for all)
I totally loved the exp.weekend. And i have to say that 70% health is th best setting!!!! Just add 5% to those 65% and you have a health system that suites everyone!!! And many thanks for fixing The Fort glitch, have to say though that in The Village there is 1 more glitch where you can shoot trough walls!! Looking forward to your new DLC, i love you NDI
Your Biggest Fan
JT
Please tell us how many players are actually active online at a given time. Is the Players Online counter not accurate?
I also get flipped when your friend comes online and its impossible to get him in your party maybe a refresh button would be nice
A new double exp. weekend sounds really good. I do hope you keep your promise and give us the right amount but i wont doubt you since you promised =D
I really do hope you fix the 40000$ penalty because it reacts on multiple ways on “HOW” you leave a match!!! When you disconnect with a “DNS” error that you know doesn’t come up “WHEN” anybody wants, thats where your 40k system fails..
Please fix this =)
yes ND plz fix that i lost 240K because of DNS error
and sometime it disconnect for the playstation store
Indeed please fix penalty for and internet connection failures .
Fix your connection
I really liked the lowered health. It felt just right. Weapons like the FAL and the Dragon Sniper were a lot more useful with the lowered health. Also, thankyou so much for the Plunder only playlist!!! That is me and my buds’ favorite game mode and now we can play it whenever we like. I love you guys and I can’t thank you all enough for all of the time you spend listening to all of us. You guys listen to us better than any other studio out there!!
I second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too
i agree with ultima12
Same here. Lowered health made it a better game.
yea but like 70-75 % health would be perfect imo because then it dont take to man bullets to kill some1 and you also can take cover or maybe turn around and kill the guy if you’re better.
and if you add a new playlist with 50% health that would be awesome too.
ND does a great job making multiplayer very fun, haven’t senn another game where they care as much with improving, adding new feutures and having these special weekeends to a game! (:
And what about adding new boosters? That would be awesome like a booster where you have higher fire rate or a booster where you run faster or like a booster that makes you walk slower but you’ll get cash for killing 5 people with it (like invalid,come and get some etc.)
lowered health was the best made the game more fun.
lowering the health makes long range weapons more effective but shotguns, pistoles, and uzi’s less effective. It’s more about camping now, and in levels such as temple or lost city, you won’t see people using the shotgun.
exactly it´s about camping which makes it boring.I prefer running around killing people than having to hide and wait for someone to pass by.
Absolutely agree.
Absolutely agree
agree completly
just a few suggestions.
1, clans. up to 10 players.
2, a map pack in the psn store that can add maybe 3 new maps. perhaps using the rainy trench towards the end of the game. or expanding on the area with the huge fight towards the end of the game, using the sap instead of propane tanks.
3, christmas weekend… santa’s (sully) vs snowmen?
4, sometime next year, as DLC, a story add-on playing as chloe and/or flynn in some action prior to uncharted 2.
just tossing ideas out there.
Sully needs his cigar online. But seriously, excellent work ND. Uncharted 2 is the best.
Could you maybe experiment with a SP guidelines plylist though? No boosters, the awesome game soundtrack that comes on dynamically, the running punch animation from SP, and finisher animations like dropkick and superman punch and slidepunch using the same system as the ledge pull and kickoff, limited and fading HUD, all game modes and variations.. Please tell me if this would be possible. Thanks. I feel the gameplay of the SP is already perfect and a playlist being more closer to SP would be awesome. Thanks again.
Some of these sound good!!
BUT Clans up to 10 Players - They wont do that in UC2!! Maybe in UC3 =)
You could have Sully as Santa and a Green Flynn as the Grinch LOL
i also think you could remodel each map bigger. that would be sweet. Car chase would be a sick game with one on the top and bottom drive n fire, i was thinking of a STORY COOP 3P mode
the Clan thing is realy great, i wish naughty dog will do that!
Santas and snowmen would be sweet for cristmass
if it was 10 man clans then the clan would have to be split in half for u 2 play a match
This was a very well known exploit surprisingly. And you guys have astounded me, no other company fixes mistakes faster than you. And I would like a clan type of thing, make it easier to get together with friends. Level 45 signing off to play your game!
UC2 is fantastic, by far the best game release on PS3 to date. I wondered about the double cash weekend not giving up the dough! Didn’t like the low health weekend, just cuz I was sucking but it did make it seem more realistic. Can you please fix what appears to be random death scenarios with grenades? Standing on top of one and I don’t die, then about 10 feet away behind a barrier or steel box and I die!! looking forward to new maps and the next double cash weekend - Cmas anyone? Santa Sully’s vs Snowmen would be hilarious! what about santa vs the grinch? How about Deathmatch RPG’s only matches to select? Just when you are the mood to blow people and sh*t up at any given time! Keep up the Great work!!
Oh yea! Fix the glitch if you are standing to close to someone your FAL is sticking through their body and shoot past them!! Then they punch you out - i guess i should just crack their neck or snap their backs!
what i think would be awesome would be to make a new map that uses the other guns in the game like the mp44 and the pob maybe using them to replace the ak and the 9mm or even to replace the degal and the m4 or something and maybe use the crossbow in there as well insted of rpg or hammer or something on those lines or just with all those guns that would be awesome or even add new guns that where not in the game or something
Can you please add trophies to some of the DLC’s? I would love a trophy called “Bam, Kitty Got Wet”.
The Lowered health is great. You should make a Crushing tab, so we could play any mode we want with that health. Plus you should take atleast 5-10% percent off the normal health. Plus make a Deathmatch Variant playlist and new variations. (Hammer and Wes-44, FAL and Micro, M4 and Defender, AK-47 Only, Shotgun and Desert Eagle) LOL, At least consider and Thanks I LOVE the multiplayer.
ooohhhh yeah, clans would be a nice touch. i REALLY like the idea of the melee animations being like in the single player portion (drop kick, superman punch, etc.) aside from that any other gameplay tweaks i think are unwarranted. the game plays SMOOTH and its very balanced. its near perfection!! regarding the balance issue though, i think some of the boosters are WAAAAAY more useful than others and maybe there could be some additions and deletions in that area??? just a thought
me and some friends were thinking if you all could add some characters from uncarted1 into uncharted2. Such as the gremlin type thngs towards the end(or the gardians), that evil vellin guy,and add fat lasaravic in the character DLC. O yeah add sir francis drake to(from story mode)
Naughty Dog, you guys are the best.
So any word about the “error syncing player data” problem that many of us have been having?
Great job ND for fixing the bugs in the multiplayer. For the experimental weekend, I did not play that much because the lower health just made all the fundamentals of uncharted 2 become obsolete. There were no skill at aiming, climbing to just about dumb, command roll is useless during the lower health. You had no chance at using you skills to be successful in the mode. It was just first see first kill. But I would say that put a Crushing playlist for people who likes to play that way and a regular playlist for us vets. Can’t wait to see the new DLC in the future.
Hoping y’all will put the weapons in new locations soon and a moving train map like in the single player (crossing fingers). Keep up the good work though ND.
Lol use vets way to go casanov..btw what level are you?
Thank you, I had read about this glitch and I appreciate how fast you’ve responded! It is one of the reason why I tell others that U2:AT has really delivered more value than any other game I’ve played this year.
I have some feedback on machinma/cinema mode:
- please implement a reverse play/frame button: it is ridiculous to rewind from the beginning when you overshoot a point in time!
- can screen shots also include a toggle on/off which include the player name/icons and the running events (team dropped the treasure, x killed y, etc.)? I’d like to illustrate that I took out player X on the other team, it earned me a medal, etc.—just as a I view it on camera and in the game. The screen shot strips away almost all information!
Thanks always, Naughty Dog has rocked the world!
It would be awesome if we can save the videos that we edit cause its pretty useless right now to change it and it doesn’t stay that way. Or a way to edit the video with the camera on different players and download them to our consoles.
also, it would be nice if you could see the aiming reticle during videos
it would really be cool if you could do that. Then I could have high quality clips to post on youtube rather that the compressed capture care footage I use now.
Thanks ND, but please BAN users who have cheated their way to the top of the leaderboards through exploiting glitches.
I don’t care about leaderboard positions, but I really wish they’d ban people for exploiting the glitches.
However, I doubt ND will start issuing bans when they’ve never came out and stated that you can be banned for glitching.
It seems ND is more concerned about fixing glitches than punishing people. However, it glitch uses becomes prevalent and they don’t bother to fix them as fast as they’ve said they’re going to, then by all means they should start banning folks.
As for this past weekend, I could not tell much of a difference in the amount of bullets needed to kill someone or the amount needed to kill me. I think the health needs to be lowered a lot more in order to see a discernable difference.
Banning users is probably the worst idea. Imagine how many players we would lose. There is already such a small amount players to go against since MW2 reduced it to half. Maybe like taking away $40,000 or something would be a better penalty but i doubt they would do something like that. And please put back the lowered health!!!!!
your an tard rosey
Thanks ND!!! I’m excited to see what you guys have in store for us. I would really like some more mulitplayer maps and maybe some new modes. Other than that, I’m good. Thanks GUYS!!!
Nice job on fixing the glitch on Ice Cave where you went underground/in the wall. I know some more glitches if you’re interested. PSN: TheMnm
I don’t want people reading it on here and using them in matches.
Thanks. I was wondering why I cannot play Survival by myself. Is it because certain enemies grab the player and without a partner there would be no one to make the enemy let go? I also think the ship from the end of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune would make a great DLC map. You could scatter cargo crates and boxcars around the map; players could climb these and take cover behind them. You could also make it rain during the level, so it would be like a nice counterpoint to the Train Wreck level that came with Uncharted 2. I missed the Thanksgiving Weekend Event. I was playing God of War Collection. Will there be a special event for Christmas?
Yeah, the ship would be a awesome map!
No ND, thank you.
I love how much you care about your games even long after they are released. More game developers need to pay attention to you guys.
I also like the first comments idea for some 2v2v2v2v2 or maybe even a FFA when you don’t have friends on, or don’t have friends period.
Not sure how easy that is to do though.
Looking forward to what other maps you guys dish out, I have a feeling we’re going to see something very special.
And if we’re not going to stay on 65%, maybe a “All competitive gametypes - Crushing mode” playlist?
Thanks.

I think the ship from the end of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune would make a great DLC map. You could scatter cargo crates and boxcars around the map; players could climb these and take cover behind them. You could also make it rain during the level, so it would be like a nice counterpoint to the Train Wreck level that came with Uncharted 2. Using the technology you developed for the train level in Uncharted 2, you could make the ship tilt and undulate. It would be great.
If you needed to make the map bigger, add a few boats around the main boat that you can get to, also you can have the helicopter crash halfway through the game.
Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Place a few life boats along both sides of the ship; people could hide in them. And your helicopter idea is great. It could crash during the match just like the plane does during The Fort. If the map isn’t big enough, allow the players to go below into the hold.
I love you guys. Please dont make me fat again for christmas, I didnt enjoy being fat as much as I enjoyed the skeleton costumes from halloween. It just ‘seemed’ like everything was slower :(
But also I have a question, if you are going to make maps purchasable, then how would you make it a good deal for people? Since you cant chose what maps you play, and I havent even played the new map yet :( :( :(
Just wondering in case thats what you decide to do, but I hope you decide against that and instead give free maps but let us buy costume packs that come with new boosters. That would be cool.
The only thing i think that really needs to be fixed on the this game is the headshots and thedamage of grenades. It takes almost just as many headshots to kill as body shots which is bull, and the grenade launcher take 2 shots to kill someone? thats bull its a freaking grenade! I think the damage ratio for grenades needs to be uped and heatshots need to kill way faster. Other than that i think everything is ok, no need to drop the health down 65%, not my fault most people suck and cant aim…
there are two glitches in the village map that need to be fixed. one is that when going towards the heros first spawn point area the building in the middle on that half of the field if u jump onto the one ladder with the walla all boreded up really badly behind it and u let go really fast u go thru the wall. the other is that if u hang on the pillar just in front of the middle building when the tank runs over it it pushes the player under the map while still hanging onto the pillar and they can shoot players with a pistol or pull them down if they run over top
Hey guys, enjoyed 65% health weekend, was loads of fun. very happy about plunder been added as a seperate option too.
I’d say between 65% and 80% sounds about right for health.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to whatever you have in store next.
You guys should have the survival mode single player or split screen because when i play multiplayer they dont even try. also look into 2v2v2v2v2
thanks ND i was really upset the first time the fort glitche happen to me. cant wait for the next DLC to come
Balance the weapons for christ sake! The coward-weapons shotgun/pistole only needs you to push forward on the stick then press fire-button: woops, one easy kill and thats NOT skills. Lowered health means easier for cowards to use blindfire and have you killed. The more skill, the more the fun AND thats what makes you want to play more, not to play as a noob etc. Tnx
Improve spawning time, 10 sec sucks!!! Why does it had to be 3 seconds wait when you had 65 % healh-weekend?
so when is the next double cash weekend?
@TinFTF: You serious about making the nades even stronger?.. They are like mini-nukes already. If anything they should weaken them.
But I do agree that people who put shots to the face need to deal more damage then those who spray to the body.
To make the next weekend even sweeter, give us 2 more Doughnut characters, like elena, chloe or flynn.
Wow, it’s nice that you guys are listening to our feedback--that’s something not a lot of game companies seem to do nowadays, and if they do they don’t really recognize it. So, thanks a million, Naughty Dog!
I, for one, loved the new health, but I do feel that it was a tad low. I’d say around 70%-80% would be best. When it was lowered to 65%, it was just a little too easy to kill other players, though the same can be said for other players killing you.
Before I forget: grenades. They’re just a little bit too powerful. I don’t mind it when players use them as a last ditch effort to take their killer down with them, but they don’t even have a chance to get away because they explode so quickly. And the blast radius is so broad that you don’t really even have to be near it to die from an explosion either. I’d personally say increase their time to detonation, and make the damage radius smaller, though keeping the stun radius isn’t that much of an issue.
