We just fixed a few known glitches on “The Fort” multiplayer map and we aren’t stopping there. We’re continually working on making our multiplayer experience increasingly fun and satisfying.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Tuesday December 08 2009

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!

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.

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.

Posted by: KJP831 on 12-13-2009

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!!!!!

Posted by: IcY_ on 12-15-2009

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.)

Posted by: HowlingWolf696 on 12-11-2009

i started playing uncharted 1 again and a great idead came to me (i think its great atleast)....you guys should add another map similar to the maze u guys have in chapters 18 & 19 were the dead spaniards come out of no where in the dark i think that should be fun & scary

Posted by: SoupnRice on 12-11-2009

what makes europe so special?! that they get all the cool stuff like the new eye of indra skins and the pirate and special drake???? WE ARE AMERICA!!!! I WANT NEW SKINS!!!!1!!!!!11!1!!!one.exclamation point eleven

HI ND,
there was a really (funny) glitch in the temple, this guy from my team in elimination died but he didn’t die xD, he just lay on the floor, not dieing, but he was killed, I tried to watch the video in cinematic mode but my playstation crashed when I did lol. (2 times)

WHEN IS THE PATCH GOING TO COME OUT FOR THE ERROR SYNCING PLAYER DATA I DONT WANT TO START OVER AGAIN PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM AND ALL THE NEW GLITCHES THERE R IT DUMB BECAUSE U GUYS PATCH THE OLD ONES AND NEW ONES R OUT

Posted by: brad1787 on 12-12-2009

Hey does anyone know how people are getting new characters? I played a game with a character that was a girl wearing a yellow shirt, and some random guy that was like in a white shirt? I didn’t know how people got them!

Posted by: Cristo127 on 12-12-2009

I would like to see in Coop-objectives (and everything else as an option for that matter) you be able to pick who ever you want to be, specifically, create your own player with the things you’ve bought in the store so you always have this unique character to play in any mode.

Posted by: majawii on 12-12-2009

Please ND help me--- after the newsest update ive got the curse of the “ error syncing player data “ , and i cannot connect online. Like many others out there waiting for a fix, i hope its soon. gotta feed that craving. ty ND

Posted by: Nosajk on 12-12-2009

I was Wondering when are u finally fixing the problem with some NAT Types, i can play with some friends but with others i cant, and i play other games with them and I can play with them, i was wondering when do you plan to fix this issue its really frustrating…

Posted by: Gsokrispy on 12-12-2009

Thank you for the new map, though its getting overplayed, you should make a warzone map....but main reason for comment is ahem *clears throat* Bring the comic bundle to the North American Store! I want Mr Pinkerton!

Posted by: BigmanW on 12-12-2009

naughty dog you are easily the best developer and even if uncharted 2 doesn’t win game of the year, (which it most definitely should), you definitely have best developer locked in. i only have a few suggestions. 1. add co-op dlc, 3 modes is a little too short. 2. add some type of free for all because i was playing a private match with my cousin and couldn’t talk to him when we played. 3. make it possible to buy Eye of Indra episodes with money from the game. maybe like $500 thousand per episode.

Posted by: NEMES1S_259 on 12-12-2009

Naughty Dog i dunno know if u r already aware of this or not but i m facing this error (Error syncing player data) like many others and it does not seem to work at all have been trying for days now and yet no hope.... Plzzzzzz help me i was on Lvl 46.... Plzzzzzzz gt a fix for this....... if any one has any solution please let me know........

Posted by: Atarikidd on 12-13-2009

Hi ND,
I think a great new 1 player add-on that
as can be multiplayer. The aim of the map
is where the player(s) would have to run a
Gauntlet. In each area you have to make your
way to the other end fighting/shooting.
And as you go though more area/rooms you
would have to rescue someone/collect to
unlock the next part of the Gauntlet. The
main objective is to see how long you can
servive the Gauntlet. Max 20 or so areas

Posted by: BigmanW on 12-13-2009

naught dog you are amazing and easily the best developer for any console. uncharted 2 is a pure masterpiece. i only have a few things you could add to make the experience better. 1. add dlc for objective co-op missions. i really liked the missions but felt kinda upset when i found out there were only 3. 2. add a free for all mode in which we are able. i say this mainly for private games. me and my cousin wanted to play against each other so we both went on a different team. there was one big downside and that was we couldn’t talk to each other. 3. make the eye of indra episodes purchasable with the in game money. i love those episodes and want them so bad, but am too cheap to spend $1 for each of them. you could make them a ridiculous price with $250 thousand for 1 episode and may
$1 million for them all.

Posted by: Darkwatchman on 12-13-2009

I love Uncharted 2 so much. It is my favorite game. Uncharted 1 i played through 4 times and platinumed it. Uncharted 2. I am on my 5th playthrough. Already platinumed it. Level 51 on Multiplayer.

I’m glad u won Game of The Year. U guys deserved it.

And word of advice. I hated the 65% health weekend. Itfelt like u guys were making the game more mainstream and appealable to the masses, Making it noob friendly. It was way too easy to kill people. I did well by putting forth no effort. I prefer full health. I don’t want Uncharted 2 to be another call of duty, or noobfest.

Posted by: sheyzok on 12-13-2009

oh SH** i voted wrong, i loved the lower health thing and i pressed that i dindt like it :( i got many kills and it got its hooks into me again, ill definately be playing this tomorrow and the whole week, but my TV is effed up so i need to get a new one.. D;

Posted by: skaterkid48 on 12-13-2009

I love this game, Naughty Dog did a great job. I have a couple suggestions. One of them is to add the SAS to a couple of more maps. The other one is to add the map at the end of the game on the boat from Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.

Posted by: AnDxTiLtOnE on 12-13-2009

Maybe make a map that takes place in Shambala and at a certain point the guardians come onto the map and attack people, kind of like the tank does OR maybe just have then out of map shooting at you with there crossbows. Either or, I like the dynamic maps and I want to see more of them. :D

Congrats on GOTY!

Posted by: THA_SNOWMAN8732 on 12-13-2009

Yeah they need a 2v2v2v2v2 but most of the time my teammates are horrible so their needs to be a(Every man for them self) playlist. Cuz no matter how good i am , if im up against 4 good players and im paired with 4 random garbage players. I’ll get doubled (most of the time trippled) teamed which will lead to a sure lost, which depends on ur teammates in the end.

Posted by: warhammer367 on 12-13-2009

i think that there should be
1. make ur own charecter.
2. guild/clan support
3.able to pay 99cents or something to change starter guns
4. more boosters
5. for christmas be able to play as santa
6. for christmas have a HUGE christmas tree in all the levels.

Posted by: newfounderror on 12-14-2009

I seriously doubt my comment will do anything but whatever here goes. I hate that Arena Survival is together with Gold Rush, I honestly don’t see how they relate so much that they have to be together. I think Survival should be in a category of its own because its so annoying when all I wanna do is kill NPCs and when I find 2 other players, there’s 2 Gold Rush maps to vote from and no Survival to be found. Only when you have friends you can make a game as Survival but that’s not always possible.

I also did take notice that Double Cash rewards wasn’t really making a difference at the end of a game when the money comes in and I did think to myself that maybe we aren’t getting double for the medals. Also, it would be really cool if Double Cash rewards weekends came randomly because holidays do not come often. It was cool and all with the Halloween and Thanksgiving themes (with the skins on Deathmatch) but if its random it will keep players on their toes wondering when is the next time there will be a Double Cash rewards weekend coming up.

Posted by: seriousfear on 12-14-2009

Naughtdog! :D
Uhm well I got two *glitches* you need to fix. One is in campaign in almost and bookcase if u hide behindthem and if the bookcase is next to a wall you can actually glitch right through the wall. Also on Survival the map Fort there is a major spawning error on one side of the map where usually one AI will get stuck and doesn’t come down for like 5-6 minutes unless you use a sniper and snipe him or throw a grenade. But yeah new DLC sounds great

Posted by: bluesteel007 on 12-14-2009

As a games reviewer I’d like to simply air a few thoughts - especially with regard to the ‘$40,000 fine’ and the subsequent ‘skill level’ decrease.
I, like many others, am becoming increasingly frustrated with being fined for ‘leaving’ the game.
Am I doing this on purpose? No. On every single occasion I have sat watching the same screen, listening to the same music (which after five minutes does become VERY annoying) while the game connects. I fly through the level selection and player search part but when I come to actually play the death match game… it freezes.
I’ve been fined $160,000 now which is leading to me very nearly filing Uncharted 2 in the black bin liner.
Great game, but - as with an increasing number of ‘multiplayer’ boasting titles - flawed.
I would urge you to ditch this fine and skill level decrease before you push so many people away from the title that there is no-one left to play the multiplayer games.
All you’re doing is pushing those people who want to play it away.
For the record my internet connection is fine. Any other title works great online.

Posted by: pappy8814 on 12-14-2009

No gripes here. Thanx for fixing the glitches too. I’m sure you know, but theres one in the Plaza too. You guys have really raised the bar in online gaming on the PSN. For what its worth, you have a lifelong fan in me. Keep it up! Cant wait for the next thing. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Posted by: Ron_Thunder on 12-14-2009

Played for the first time in a couple days and I kept freezing in deathmatch. I froze probably 10 times in a game yet my connection seems just fine. Makes the game unbearable when you are shooting and just freeze and get killed.

Posted by: Sup3rc0wbamf on 12-14-2009

Hey Naughty Dog! I just wanted to let you know that I recently saw a glitch on the Village map where somebody hung from the floor in one of the buildings and shot through the floor; can you please look into this?
Thanks You guys Rock!

Posted by: chioro_san on 12-15-2009

Last weekend I just got stuck on that high ledge in the central building in the Plaza. IDK if someone else has experimented this glitch but I just got stucked on there for about 1 minute, half of my body was inside the wall and took me lots of jumps to “unstuck” from there.

Otherwise, great work ND, love you guys and your games.

Posted by: pauxy on 12-15-2009

A mi me encanta de por si el juego y el modo online, eso si espero que hayan actualizaciones y nuevos retos, para darle mas emocion y asegurar el pleno rendimiento y satisfacer a los millones de seguidores de esta inmejorable saga un saludo

AWSOME I LOVE U NAUGHTY DOG AND UNCHARTED 2 GOT GAME OF THE YEAR ON VGA AND XPLAY!!! WOOHOO!!! CONGRATS!!!

what i like to see for future dlc and updates is to fix something for the “FORT” for survival and goldrush is dont make it drake,elena, and chloe instead replace chloe for sully it would make more sense since it takes place in uncharted 1 and since sully is only in the nepal co op mission.And change elena to her original cloths from u1.
New dlc maps: i would like to see would be 4 new maps one map would be Navarro’s ship from part one with some cool water effects and perfect for survival,next map would be a really dark cave type map were theres no lights at all every player just has a flash light on there waste,and the 3rd map would be a forrest type map were players would be able to climb trees and lots of water to swim to flank enemies.the 4th would be a map based on the chapter were flynn and drake rob the artifact from the musium.
next i would like new multiplayer skins like dhonut lazarvich,Navarro,Grabiel Roman,Eddy,enemy soilder (uncharted1),monster things from uncharted1 (lol),the guardians("scarecrows to frighten trespassers"), elena(orginal u1),drake dirty and beat up.

co op objectives 4 new

1. train scene drake,elena,chloe same train scene from story mode except 3 players getting through the train to get the dagger that luitenant draza has.
2. uncharted 1 scene with drake,elena,and sully going through the island fighting soilders then through a dark cave fighting those monster things from part 1 to find marco pollo’s body
3. enstrance to shambala drake,chloe,elena fight through gardians and soilders to find the tree
4. a brand new scene showing what the bad guys were up to and while chloe was a spy for drake characters would be Lazaravich,Flynn,and chloe going through the monastery fighting off the guirdians with those fake yetty look.
i would also like u guys have the option of changing the survival to 30 rounds having those monster from part 1 come in at round 18 and gardians come in at round 25 and round 30 would have a boss fight 3vs3 were its whoever characters u and ur team are vsing Lazaravich,Navarro, and either Eddy or Draza depending on the map it be epic
also if so put 30 rounds have 10 tries instead of 3.
and also fix cinima being able to remind instead of restarting the video and make it easier to send to friends and upload the videos to the ps3 XMB.
and possibly put people real kills,co op,competive wins from this website to the game.

NaughtyDog, Don’t stop producing GREAT games, this is one of my favorites, Great Job

Now, on the Subject of The Fort, Its an OK map, its lacking one of two things however, M32-Hammer / Sniper Rifle. In that area that up the steps with nothing in it, that would greatly improve the playablity of the map.

I enjoy all elements of this game, its challenging but enjoyable Keep up the great work!

Phoenix.

Posted by: CC_06 on 12-19-2009

I think one thing they should fix is the hand to hand combat. I have noticed lately that players are still able to hit you even if you are a great distance away from them. Also, if you are hanging from an edge, to ability to pull the other player down or kick them off does not work as effectively as it should. It’s failed on me many time =(

And I a huge fan of the DLC idea but not if it costs a lot.

Posted by: SystemOfDan on 12-19-2009

Speaking of exploits, there are some players who sign in to Plunder matchmaking and then never touch their controls (never move during the game) or just sit there and taunt for the entire game. They do this for game after game, racking up their team’s Captured points. This makes matches unfair because one team is effectively short a player or two, even if it looks like no one has dropped. Please make the game detect this (controls are never touched/moved in game after game) and ban the account for a day. Repeat offenders should have their accounts deleted or reduced to level 1 (take away all money). This problem seems to be becoming more frequent each time I play (more players have started to do this). Thanks for making a great game!

Posted by: swavage415 on 12-19-2009

Please fix the hit detection on melee attacks. It seems like guys are pistol whipping me from 10 yards away almost every match. Also when I go to stats I get 3 different stat numbers. They are different when I look at the game compared to the website, and then even more different when i look at weapon stats. So I basically have no idea what my
kd is. The game is awesome but can definately use some more patches and dlc. Launch man also gives people way to much ammo for the hammer.

Posted by: Colt_Gun00 on 12-20-2009

Ok i don’t know if this is because of the patch on The Fort. But when me and my friend play a Plunder match on the fort, we can see the treasure at the start, but cannot pick it up. then once someone scores the treasure goes completely invisible! i can see the other players carrying around and throwing invisible treasure! while is is funny to watch its also VERY frustrating. has this happened to anyone else?

Posted by: Colt_Gun00 on 12-20-2009

oh yea, great work ND love the game.
some ideas for some new DLC maps:

*OFFICE BUILDING - An indoor map in some sort of tall building with a massive stairwell, a roof for intense highrise gunfights, elevator maybe?

*JUNGLE - Similar to Borneo, with large shrubs to hide in and a campsite in the middle with all sorts of weapons in it, a few tents to hide in but can be shot through.

*DESERT - large open area with a few hills and maybe a campsite, massive palm trees to take cover behind. good map for sniping.

*ROOFTOPS - Similar to the last half of chapter “Desperate Times” or maybe the Heist chapter (forgot name), narrow bridges to cross, dangerous heights, great map for pull-downs. maybe some higher towers for snipers.

Ideas for Weapons.

*CLAYMORE MINES - To place at common “camping” areas. they are visible but you need to be looking for them to notice, small square things on the ground. can be disabled if aimed directly at and press triangle.

*RAPID FIRE SNIPER - Similar to the FAL however with further zoom and smaller mag. 10-20shots. ammo does more damage than FAL and AK47, maybe 5-10 shot kill, headshots are NOT one shot kill, however a headshot will lower health significantly

PUNCH AVOISION - Not a “weapon” but useful, and realistic. Every time i punch someone, the seem to punch back instantly, even if i sneak up on them. if the player taps triangle at exactly the right moment, they should dodge the attack. similar to story, but without slowing down time so it is more difficult, if that is too unbalanced, maybe you can only dodge if you are holding your pistol weapon or no weapon?

thats it for ideas, (well i have loads more but i need to “perfect” them before i will post) sorry for the massive post but, im just throwing ideas out there!
THANX ND!!!!!! IVE BEEN UR BIGGEST FAN SINCE CRASH BANDICOOT!!!!!(lol those were the days) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

DEAR NAUGHTY DOG, I was playing uncharted 2 this morning:it was a plunder in a village, while some enemy was “under the floor”, he pulled me down. JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIX THAT. i got so pissed off at that.

Posted by: Playcool18 on 12-23-2009

No, more important for this game online isnt the maps but yes servers in the game, playing vs a host of a far way country is too bad they see us first and they kill us much faster, this brings a big injustice to the players that suffer this problem.This is prejudicial for the gamers experience.

Posted by: Matthijs_17 on 01-16-2010

Since this post is talking about DLC I like to post some critical things I hope you guys take care of.

You said in some interview with someone I forgot that uncharted 2: multiplayer was meant to be fresh and new because of the climbing mechanics, well although I agree that the multiplayer is extremely fun, I think it could be even better.

The problem is that the MP maps rely way to much on shooting mechanics and search cover, the maps are easy to climb in, no hard jumps or many pits to fall into… the problem is, is that players that are good at shooting don’t need any skill at climbing because they don’t need it, they run around the map and kill everyone they see, without taking a single jump… So I hope the next maps (at least I think you guys are making maps) rely more on climbing skills, so that you have to be good at climbing to have an advantage on the other players that just shoot people, make higher buildings for instance, less amounts of ground to walk on, more diversity in hights, ledges to climb on the side of the building to the top from behind a map: just make some weird things, no symmetry in the maps, use poles to swing over gaps,take some risks!, after all this is a great opportunity to bring multiplayer to a whole new level…

of course I can understand this isn’t an easy task because you have to be carefull when it comes to making maps, the map must be balanced and the respawn points must be take care of, also one team can be in advantage where they start.

So I hope someone of you read this post and try to think about it, I know this is a single player game and I loved the single player, use this multiplayer to expertiment with, before this I never played multiplayer before, I hated shooting each other to death, but this multiplayer I have fun with, it’s not extremely agressive and no blood flying everywhere, I like climbing around the map and pull-down guys (best multiplayer idea ever), and with friends it’s nice to play, but the main point I want to say, this is you’re first game with online options, just experiment with it, with such a good single player, no one can say the game is bad because the multiplayer is bad, so: take risks!

PS: and a cursed spaniards survival mode would be cool, but that’s just an extra;)
