Title Update 1.06 for UNCHARTED 2 will be released on Thursday, March 4, 2010, at 10:00 AM PST (6:00 PM GMT).

The Title Update just has a couple of minor changes, but we will also be making some additional tweaks to our multiplayer game at the same time Title Update 1.06 is released. Hit the jump to get the full set of changes.

Title Update 1.06 will be released on Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 10:00 AM PST (what time is that in my city?). After that time, you will be prompted to download and install Title Update 1.06 when you connect online to UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer.

Title Update 1.06 includes a couple under-the-hood fixes we needed to make that don’t affect gameplay. Beyond that, we’ve also made the following updates:

Removed automatic shoulder selection when players click the L1 shoulder button to aim
Delayed the appearance of the scoreboard to allow time for players to view any medals received simultaneously with player death

At the same time the Title Update is released, we’ll also be pushing live updates to other aspects of our multiplayer. These updates include:

Adjusted hitbox attributes so that players will take less damage to the character’s legs
Decreased kill radius of grenades by 1 meter
Decreased accuracy of Down the Irons by 15%
Reduced rate of fire of the FAL by 10%
Reduced rate of fire for the Dragon Sniper by 10%
Collision and geometry changes to “The Fort” to prevent intentional glitching by players

We’ll be keeping an eye on how these changes work out in-game and, as usual, through your comments, forum posts and Twitter. See you online!

I only bought this game because of the multiplayer but now the mutiplayer is pure garbage. All they had to do was change the health and weapon damage back to the 1.04 update. The 1.05 update was playable but now this update killed it for me. DID I BUY A GAME OR A BETA?

Posted by: diuqil on 03-04-2010

So far so good ND. Keep up the good work! No more panic grenade deaths. But may I suggest something? Grenades are noticeably underpowered and sure foot seems kind of pointless. Why not replace the 1m of blast radius removed with 1m of knock down?

Posted by: whythehellcanti on 03-04-2010

My thoughts:

Grenades:

They’re alot weaker. People can just walk out of the grenade’s radius now. I was hoping ND would’ve reduced the radius just enough so player’s with fast reflexes could escape, not reducing it so much that anyone could get away.

Limb Damage:

Nothing wrong here. Nice job ND.

Removing Auto Shoulder Switch:

Omg. Thank you.

Down the Irons:

Whatever. People with superior aim will still dominate so this change isn’t a big deal.

FAL:

When shooting from long range it’s still pretty good. Obviously slower but still powerful. But at close range it’s horrible. It doesn’t stand a chance against the AK at close range. You’re better off switching the FAL for the pistol for close combat. Instead of reducing the firing rate, why not just have the FAL kill with 3 bursts rather than 2?

Sniper Rifle:

Better than before.

Overall:

Except for the grenades, nice job. You guys improved 1.05. But the weapon balances in 1.04 were better. The gameplay before 1.05 was more fun and exciting, and for the most part, everything was balanced. Please change it back.

Oh and did you guys increase the shotgun’s range with 1.05? The blindfire on that thing kills from farther away now.

Dude dats genius, why haven’t I thought of dat…
Free 4 All deathmatch…
10 Players 1 Map, each one one fighting for their own lives..
Oh man, that would be CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: theklassklown on 03-04-2010

I KNOW THE FAL WAS PERFECT TILL U GUYS CHANGED IT. IT IS COMPLETLEY USELESS NOW AND THAT BECOME MY FAV GUN WHEN 1.05 WAS ISSUED OUT MAN BUT THAT IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT PLEASE ND CHANGE IT BACK THIS IS MY FIRST COMPLAINT SINCE THE GAME REALEASE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON UR SIDE BUT WITH THE FAL I JUST HAVE TO DISAGREE

thank u for listing (if u even read it)

Now thats not really fair. Naughty Dog has been trying to catch up with popular requests and complaints. Just because you want a 2 v 2 doesn’t make it “boring” but you are entitled to your opinion. I just think they deserve a little bit of considerarion.

Posted by: auntpolgara on 03-04-2010

ND, you’re hearing, but you’re not listening. I will say it again, you removed the FUN from the game!!! I WILL SAY IT AGAIN!!! YOU REMOVED THE FUN FROM THE GAME!!! Do you need me to say this one more time? Apparently! Because you’re not listening! You removed the FUN from the game when you CHANGED THE CORE MECHANIC! I feel like I’m having a conversation with my three-year-old. Changing the rate of fire on the FAL does not address the core issue of the fact that it still takes 2 hits to be plastered by it. Delaying the appearance of the scoreboard does nothing to address the issue that you DIDN’T NEED TO MOVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! Trying to adjust the boosters doesn’t address the core issue that you DIDN’T NEED TO CHANGE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! I didn’t see anything, there was a conspicuous thundering absence of addressing the crappy spawns or an absence of addressing the lowered player health which is still an issue because IT DIDN’T NEED TO BE LOWERED IN THE FIRST PLACE! I didn’t vote for the *&(& thing in the first place and I wouldn’t have voted for it anyway, yet you forced this *(*(&( choice on me and messed it up. Now the changes are tweaks here and there......... ****, people, all you have to do is put it in it’s own **** playlist and do your **** changes to the new stuff. I didn’t have an issue with the grenades, I’m actually pretty good at them, so you’ve decreased my ability to have fun with them. So, I’ll say it again, you RIPPED OUT THE HEART OF MY GAME. I’m not saying I’m adaptable, because I can. But it’s just not fun, guys. I don’t know who thought this stuff would be a good idea, but I’d like to introduce him to my friend Fist. Seriously. And please don’t get on my back about not being happy or whining. I had no complaints or reason to say anything until you broke my game, and alienated a good gamer. I wonder, are you waiting until most of us who are angry, heartbroken, and disgusted with you leave and move on, so that whoever is left doesn’t know any difference? That’s a great marketing tactic, ND. Really great. As great as what’s going on in the rest of the world. Why can’t you just add a new playlist with the old/new side by side? I seriously doubt you’re going to have a problem with ‘splitting the fanbase’. Oh, wait, I’m sorry, that’s already happened. So, then you have nothing to worry about, do you? Ya know, seriously, I was thinking about checking out the other ND games, but not now. No way. Because you guys apparently haven’t learned to LISTEN to your fanbase. I just want a separate playlist, that’s all. I was afraid this would happen and it is; keeping the crappy update and adding other crappy things trying to ‘fix’ it, but never going back to your roots. Please listen this time, guys. I was proud of you. I was happy with the game and having fun because my skills were increasing and I was getting better and better. Then the sky fell. I can’t thank you for listening because you haven’t. Sorry.

Posted by: theklassklown on 03-04-2010

I have to disagree with everthing u just said except the FAL which is now useless. i mean if u change the health back i wont care if it the same i dont care but when the FAL got messed up that made me mad i have no probloms with the game EXCEPT that the FAL Firing rate has been lowerd now when i cry to kill somone with the FAL i cant cause how slow it is gives them a chance to run away of fire back AND it seems like the fAL jams.

Oh and this is off topic but sometimes when i play online my guy will freez and every thing still moves and that gives them a chance to kill me. It only happens for a few seconds but i usally still get kill from that

Thank u for listing (if u even read this comment)

Ok....forcekeeper427 no need to swear!!! jeez you people take things too seriously!! its a game for petes sake!! the way your’re speaking its like you never go out of your house for some fresh air!!!

You do know people have more than ONE psn account!! On one account im on level 40 and the other level 54!! And just cos i PREFER the old 1.04 dont make me a noob!! Man....now i know YOU were one of them that musta cryed cos you couldnt get the kills in 1.04!! HAHA! Regardless of how many kills or times i die....i play this game for fun not for some dumb old kill-to-death ratio!!

And I have to say update 1.05 removed the fun in the multiplayer!! now that i have tried 1.06, i can say it isnt much of an improvement on 1.05 only that the auto-shoulder switch is gone!! i can still kill people as quick with the FAL as before update 1.06 so no biggy!! FAL is still too powerful with anyone who has half a clue on how to aim!!! Man the games in the forst map are like a FAL war between the 2 teams!!! BORING!!!

Nerfing the grenades...dont mean much to me cos i rarley use them!!! And yes naughty dog is doing a great job by supporting their game but the way they drastically changed the multiplayer reminds me of how insomniac games ruined reistance 2!!!

Posted by: jerry5345 on 03-04-2010

Again reducing the firing rate of the dragon sniper isnt gonna do much as the sniper is still a one hit kill, even on a players foot!!! Again rubbish!! The sniper should be a one shot kill ONLY on the head or torso and a 2 shot kill anywhere else!!

Posted by: Muhib786 on 03-04-2010

the sniper is a 2 shot kill on the foot now i think...as i just played the game and got shot on the leg by the dragon sniper but didnt die..but still sniper is way to powerful to the extent you can use it as a shotgun and run and gun at times!!!

Posted by: dazmeister1 on 03-04-2010

Abso-*-lutely. “Nerfed the grenades."WTF? The grenades are crap now, you cant kill people unless it lands right under their ballsack. You got more chance of a nuke falling on your house than you have of ever getting a sexy triple kill with a grenade. They are supposed to be more powerful because you only have 2 to 3. Update 1.05 was fine.

Posted by: peteepedro on 03-04-2010

i agree with these guys...these updates weren’t necessary and the over all feel of the game has changed completely...i think you guys should have a little more faith and pride in your own creation. it almost makes no sense to listen to random people on a website most of these people don’t know what it takes to makes a game good...you guys are incredibly talented at making games and designed the maps and mechanics so skillfully to encourage a certain way of balanced playing and discourage camping and it was such a unique multiplayer experience...im just not feeling the magic anymore all because you guys didnt stick with what you guys actually knew would work best for YOUR game...honestly with the way you guys run things over there im surprised you haven’t told each other that a lot of things about the game suck now...so take control of your game and set things to the way you know will function seamlessly with the map design and gameplay mechanics...1.06 is an improvement over the last update but its still not quite there...and im sure you wont stop until its just right so props for that

Posted by: Handa-1 on 03-04-2010

Subtle? Subtle? There is nothing “subtle” about it. Especially considering if you played the beta from the beginning the change is not subtle at all. So you’re complaining that you had to use a whole clip to kill someone, funny I never had to. Maybe that’s more an indication of your aim. A cheap kill is a cheap kill especially when you get shot in the back, there is no “strategy” that will save you from it especially now. Please tell me how these updates are better simply because you have to use less bullets to kill someone. Why does that make it better? Why does it have to be like other shooters? For the people who like this update I never get a precise list of reasons why these updates are better. Only that it takes less bullets to kill and that it takes so called “more strategy” now.

Posted by: Handa-1 on 03-04-2010

Would you explain why he’s a troll? He’s stating his opinion and giving what he feels are legitimate reasons for it. If he’s a troll than it’s better than being a mindless idiot who just throw out internet meme’s without a single thought in his head.

Posted by: Handa-1 on 03-04-2010

So if someone points out their displeasure and gives a reason why they do, that makes them a crybaby? By your definition anyone who’s ever had an opinion/input(which is what the blog is for) is a crybaby? You are an idiot with no real independent thoughts of your own, who mindlessly scarfs down whatever Naughtydog force-feeds you.

Posted by: jnco10999 on 03-04-2010

<<<<<<<<<<Like some poster has said before, situational awareness is an extremely overpowered booster. I would know, I’ve used it. It’s extremely deadly when paired with a camper. There should be a recharge each time it’s used, like a cool down timer before your able to trigger the action again. Give it some thought Naughty Dog.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Posted by: elsencillo on 03-04-2010

wow Now you guys made the FAL completely “USELESS”.. WT* ND? why are you guys doing this??? why are you guys taking this path?? How hard is it to bring back the old weapon balance or health from 1.04?? Now the FAL is useless.. WE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEALTH/WEAPON BALANCE, not the FAL.. That’s is man, I’m moving ON to another game.. YOU GUYS WON’T LISTEN TO US, AND NEVER WILL...if you guys would of just bring back the old weapon atrributes or health everyone would be happy… you guys really F_CKed up your game, is a shame…

Posted by: Jonavoly on 03-04-2010

One grenade nerf too many, please put it back, the people complaining that its too big must be kidding… even with a crappy ping you can roll away from a grenade back in 1.05…

I tested them now… you litterally have to be one nate drake wide away from the grenade for it to kill you… They are now pointless…

Please fix!

Posted by: Dean_Buzet on 03-04-2010

what the hell are you doing with this game ND?
this was my favorite game but i dont like it any more.ONLY THING THAT YOU MUST DO IS PUT AWAY ALL THE GLITCHES AND LET THE GAME BE THE WAY THAT WAS BEFORE. Victor GOD DAMN Sullivan

Posted by: shosho1019 on 03-04-2010

WOW I JUST PLAYED THE 1.06 PATCH AND THE GAME UTTERLY SUX NOW THANKS AGAIN FOR SCREWING UP ND. I PUT MY UNCHARTED 2 COPY ON EBAY THIS GAME IS RUINED BY IDIOTS NOT GIVING PLAYERS WHAT THE WANT. THANKS FOR 4 MONTHS OF FUN. TIME TO MOVE ON CUZ U SCREWD THIS GAME NOW WITH STUPID UPDATES

Posted by: MiLaD731 on 03-04-2010

I installed the new 1.06 like an hour ago, and now I can’t get into any games! I tried to play after that and I keep getting kicked out of the game and it already cost me $200,000, cause the moment the game is about to start I get kicked out, so technically it counts it as starting the game and not finishing it up!!!! Any one else have the same problem?

Posted by: TwilightZone13 on 03-04-2010

Nothing but a bunch of babies. DEAL with it and adapt. Dont bother looking up my stats...I`ll tell you they suck but I am improving.I camp...I run and gun...I kill...I get killed....I have fun.Sometimes I really suck, and other times I totally own.QUIT YOUR BITCHING AND ADAPT TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. This is just a game. Stop threatening to leave or quit...do it.
When the game is kill or be killed...you do what it takes to adapt to your surroundings.(except of coarse you losers who need to use glitches).

Posted by: Ace-Deucey on 03-04-2010

I will have to play this update before I can intelligently comment however there was no comment about fixing the bad spawning. I must get killed 20 times a night from bad respawns. Last night I spawned in the middle of 3 enemies. I don’t mean there were in the area. I mean I was in the middle of what looked like a football huddle of enemies with us all touching each other we were so close. I did the only thing I could. I dropped a grenade and killed them all. Then they complained that I dropped the grenade. Like I’m going to whip out a gun and kill all three of them.

Posted by: Rosewood1984 on 03-04-2010

Hey this is just a suggestion of mine i wanted to share with Naughty Dog and all online players for a future update, that to me i think would take the fun factor of the game to a whole new level, How would you feel if some of the boosters for example were combined and made into a super booster? cause as you all know there are so many boosters that add great effect to your gameplay and its a shame that you can only choose 1 from each booster slot, let me show you some examples of mine of the possibilities of how these individual boosters can greatly be of some significance to their intention.

1: Careful Aim: Basically Down the Irons and Sure Shot put together.

2: The Art of reloading: Rapid Hands and Juggler + New ability that allows you to switch from long gun to hand gun more quickly or the opposite.

3: I hate Ninjas.. : Evasion + Walk softly + Possible new ability that when you have killed an enemy player, his teammates will not be able to see where he was killed.

4: Pain Supression: Scoped in + Sure foot

5: Rambo : Point and shoot + From the hip

6: He must work out.. : Fleet foot + Monkey Man

7: Turtle on Steroids : Hell blazer + Turtle + Treasure Bearer + new ability that allows you to move faster when carrying propane tanks.

8: Art is a bang! : Explosive expert + Launch man + Rocket man + Revenge

9: Lock and loaded : Bandoleer + Scavenger + Keep firing

10: I see dead people.. Situational Awareness + new ability that allows you to see where your teammate was killed dispite enemy having ( i hate ninjas.. )

And since some people are arguing about how they feel some of the badges of honor are useless now due to the new patch and how quickly you can die/or kill people etc. Here is some suggestions on Super Badges of Honor!

1: He’s good… : Come get some + glass jaw

2: Do i feel lucky punk? : Half loaded + Veiled

and this concludes my suggestions, i understand some people will completely disagree with me but ive always wondered about how boosters could become much better than what they are now but meh. Thank you for reading and understanding.

Posted by: FireFistAce11 on 03-04-2010

ND, I like the game the way it is. It’s awesome that sniper rifles can kill with one shot, otherwise nobody would use them. Slowing it down also helps because it doesn’t work well for close range combat.

Posted by: irishdave1 on 03-04-2010

All you guys who keep going on about going back to 1.04 need to wake up. They ain’t going to make themselves look like idiots by going backwards so get over it!!
If you are going to make a suggestion make it constructive - something they might change.(make the match making faster!)
Personally I still love the game and generally the changes have been good.
Hopefully most people can see the game offers a better balance between snipers and run & gunners. Personally I like to do both depending on what mood i’m in and what map/gun I have.

ND - WELL DONE ON A GREAT GAME!! Just hope you don’t get fed up with all the negativity out there and give up on Multiplayer for UC3!
Come on all a big more love for ND! Maybe you should pull the Multiplayer for a week to remind people what they would be missing! Ha Ha

Posted by: BrutalMutilation on 03-04-2010

WOW! I feel like breaking the fackin disc in half! I cant believe you guys manage to make it worse! screwing up the FAL! WTF! HOW FAKIN HARD IS IT TO MAKE 1, JUST 1 PLAYLIST NAME IT CRUSHING DEATHMATCH, SO THE NOOBS WITH NO AIMING SKILLS CAN PLAY, AND CHANGE THE GAME BACK TO 1.04 SETTINGS GEEZ! you guys make it so difficult… i giving up hope.

Posted by: Wesker1984 on 03-04-2010

I was happy with 1.04, I was happy with 1.05, I’m no longer happy with this game at 1.06. Nerfing the FAL has ruined it (no I’m not a camper), goodbye ND, this game was good, with a burst assault rifle that was awesome but had it’s weaknesses, very well balanced the FAL was, now it’s just weak and I’m not happy. I even bought the DLC I was so happy with this game, now I’m trading it in next week towards my Final Fantasy XIII. I suppose it’s too much to ask for my money back for the DLC, Naughty Dog? Naughty developers more like....

Posted by: StoopKid410 on 03-04-2010

good news… u cant screw up the game any worse after this update. Just dont touch the game any more naughtydog, leave the game alone. the game was fine befor the rebalancing. i wouldnt hav bought this game if i knew you were gonna tweak the gameplay so much, im pretty sure we bought the game cuz we liked the gameplay how it was. idk what your trying to acomplish by reducing the fal and sniper fire rate by 10%...what the hell

Posted by: Marvel_89 on 03-04-2010

Wow. The biggest glitch in the fort remains unfixed. Naughty Dog, you should consider creating a reporting feature so that you can see how people glitch from uploaded videos. Use the space you give us to take note and improve game play based on what actually occurs in multiplayer.

*************************************************
Also PLEASE can you allow us to disable shoulder switching via the L3 button? This is something I THOUGHT you were going to address this update. I’m a level 55 and still sometimes accidentally shoulder switch while shooting and DIE because of it.

Posted by: Mckloud on 03-04-2010

ND, Im sorry but you guys dont know how to adjust things right. Why dont you listen to your online games, and stop taking things under your control. Listen to us. You have destoyed a really nice online multiplayer game and made it garbage.
I usually dont comment or say anything, but I loved your game and know hate it, good luck keeping your players, you’ll need it. Good-Bye All

Posted by: BanditDawg on 03-04-2010

I’m digging this update so far. Easier to kill FAL campers. I am finally not dying constantly by cheap crap. My K/D is finally approaching .5. I am usually a decent gamer so I am glad the cheap stuff was fixed in this game to make it more fun. Keep it up.

Posted by: HighNooN7918 on 03-04-2010

i just played a match of 1.06, the grenades can no longer kill unless its right at ones feet pretty much, good job naughty dog, im better off throwing a bag of beans than throwing a grenade. and there are talks of reducing the grenade perimiter by 1 meter, haha u guys are funny. so what was learned from beta?

Posted by: mikex6989 on 03-04-2010

dear naughty dog,

i think the people who are in charge of the multiplayer are on drugs. i signed in today and downloaded the update and went straight into a custom match to see exactly what was changed/tweaked.

first off i want to know exactly what glitches you changed in the fort? because every single glitch in the map that people used are still there. when i got in them i was in shock that you people didn’t patch them up. if you say your going to fix the glitches in one specific map then i would assume at least one of the glitches would’ve been patched up. you need to look further into this.

secondly, i would like to say that the ak47 is still too powerful. there should’ve been an adjustment between the 1.04 and 1.05 update.

thirdly, i see no difference with the rate of fire between the sniper and fal so i don’t understand what you were trying to accomplish there.

on one plus side i have to applaud you for changing the limb damage to two hits for sniper and four hits for fal. but still i feel the sniper requires no skill due to no need in trying to get a headshot. in all shooting games the headshot is the most rewarding and in the game now its not even needed to try to get one. so still not completely satisfied along with many others. also i was surprised when the arms weren’t considered limbs and are also 1 shot. i thought arms were limbs....

i can’t see how this update is going to change gameplay that much over 1.05. but hopefully your headed in the right direction?

Posted by: Johnnyboy551 on 03-04-2010

wow!!!!!!! naughty dog you guys suck!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.05 update sucks!!!!! 1.06 update sucks even more 1.04 update is the best i will trade in this game if you cant fix this crap i know so many people that traded this game in because you guys cant stick to one update this ain’t game of the year no more you guys messed it up this is the trash of the year all these people that say 1.06 update is good don’t even play this game but once a week i want to see 1.04 update back if not i am done mw2 beats you guys at least they stick to one plan and are not confused.

Posted by: cristler3 on 03-04-2010

have to say one thing..!!! uncharted star to sucks..!!! first ur live..!!!!reduce and sniper u died by one shot...!! and know this version sucks so much cuz if u are level 60 and i used to use the fal know its like if u use the ak and kill faster.!!! sucks sucks sucks cuz u can much that faster...!!! have to do somehting about it plz plz do or change that live and fal...!!!! one more its like if u are level 50 over and u get kill by level 1..22..33...and its not fear that sucks when u guys are gonna change to normal live like it used to be plz...do something about it..!!!! and i can tell somehting about this game that its very very important now.!!

Posted by: xgus-busx on 03-04-2010

well once again i adapted powned like i’ve always have and im not a camper for those of you who only know how to complain play with me anyday and you’ll see happy with the hitbox since those noobs can no longer kill you by bursting bullets all around you so know my good aiming is finally being tested happy overall fall is pretty much the same but i rarely use anyways so i dont care, sniper is better just fix the AK too powerful but thanks for the update happy overall

thank you ND

Posted by: joshcast505 on 03-04-2010

This game is always challenging and rewarding. The gameplay is much more fast-paced with the updates. Seems like most people are upset with the way certain people play rather than the changes themselves. If you don’t want someone using a weapon, then police it. You know where they spawn. Don’t be such a pussy. Some players are really good. If you hate campers, then find them and kick their asses. I think camping is really boring, but if someone wants to spend their time looking at the side of a box, then have a blast. Don’t be surprised if you see someone like me coming up behind you and punching your ass to death!

Hi guys,
Im having real problems with this new update.
I’m getting Error syncing models, My friends are playing multiplayer and it says they are in single player and the worst thing of all is if i manage to get into multiplayer and search for a match it keeps searcing and no matches appears.

Posted by: Xenomorph-_- on 03-04-2010

Thank you so much naughty dog, i have been with you guys since your crash beginnings and I’m proud to say your one of my fav dev teams...now a 2 on 2 would kick ASSSSSSSSSSS and a jak skin to play as in mutiplayer(come one now...you know you want to, then take that skin and make a whole beautiful game...)thanks for being so involved guys.

Posted by: x403forbidden on 03-04-2010

Dear Naughty Dog:

Neither I nor a few of my friends have been able to join a game since the 1.04 update. You can connect to the server, but anyone who tries to join your party/vice versa ends up getting booted to the main screen.

I have emailed you and sony help and have received nothing in reply. BEFORE it didn’t matter if I was on a type 2 or 3 connection, it did it both times. (However, I can play a game alone (ie plunder) and it showed up on the naughty dog stats page that the game was played.

Today I downloaded the 1.06 update in hopes that I could finally play again. I instead can’t even get into the game and get a “cannot connect to the authentication server” error.

I absolutely loved this game and I’m going to keep faith in you that you eventually fix it for us.

Love,
x403forbidden

Is funny to see people writing comments like “ADAPT, I still pwn and run and gun like before” when you fail to realize that the game was made easier for you because you guys fail to kill someone without taking a whole clip. I don’t understand what was so hard about this game before 1.05?? I seriously would like to get inside a noobs head to see wtf they are thinking when they decide to blind fire across the map and expect to kill someone like that..

I like everything you changed in this update naughty dog but you should nerf launchman as well. I think the game would be better if respawns for weapons were changed up a bit and sniper shots to the toe didn’t kill. It is funny to see all these kids whining about you balancing the game and leveling the playing field. I think i had more fun in 1.04 but I am not going to complain because some of these changes needes to happen. Yesterday I was killing people with the ak and fal way to fast when I was shooting there feet which I thought was stupid. Please everyone stop crying, next you’ll be complaining that you can’t glitch into a wall.

I’m very glad to see that they did the fixes for auto shoulder and scoreboard. It is better.

>Adjusted hitbox attributes so that players will take less damage to the character’s legs<

This is very much appreciated. often, I will almost get away but sum1 gets me in the leg while I go to cover, thus ending my life. Thanks, this easily gets rid of most cheap kills.

>Decreased kill radius of grenades by 1 meter<

Um ya, this is a Grenade guys, its meant to be powerful. I’m against this decision. The grenade is purposely meant to spread pretty well, but maybe if it was cut by HALF a meter, then It would make more sense. In my opinion, bad update and should of been HALF a meter, NOT a meter.

>Decreased accuracy of Down the Irons by 15%<

This is fine. down the irons is too much and you did exactly what was needed to fix it. i agree with yor decision Naughty Dog. Good decision.

>Reduced rate of fire of the FAL by 10%<

I may be just defending myself, but i find this really unneeded with the FAL. its already hard enough to find the guy. its not a weapon thats cheap, its just used more efficiently than a player who has trouble making this weapon be utilize at its best. in short, its a bullshit fix bcause enough ppl find it difficult to CONTROL a FAL. its harder to fight a darn shotgun than it is to fight a FAL. I’m Against this update strongly.

>Reduced rate of fire for the Dragon Sniper by 10%<

Now It makes sense with the dragon sniper, I agree with this update. I agree with your decision naughty dog to reduce the rate of the sniper. Snipers are not a fast pace weapon (usually) so it makes complete sense to reduce it. I do suggest though to instead of reducing rate, make it more effective on certain parts of the body for now. It would be great to have a few more shots though...(bandoleer perk needs updating, its not enough when using this gun, unlike the other guns. same goes for shotgun)

>Collision and geometry changes to “The Fort” to prevent intentional glitching by players<

I entirely agree with this update. the fort is flawed and it needed to be fixed. Infact, most people i played with at this map have found this to be the most unsuitable place to play matches. The place just simply “didn’t work”. Again, thank you.

What I do suggest is to
>create respawning propane<
>reduce rate of fire of the Hammer by 10%<
>get rid of your placement for respawning (trust me, ppl go cheap on this now that they know the pattern for respawn, ill let u know more by what i mean if asked)<

This is all my response to the update. Thank you for reading my response. oh, and sorry for taking so much comment space:D.

Reply if curious of my opinions. (FYI, i said all this w/out touching the game, this is a assumption, not a result)

I personally hate 1.06, but that’s just me. When I first checked out what they did to the Fal, I finally knew that Naughty Dog is great at screwing up great online. I cried for it. ND ruined a great gun. I love ND, but they killed it. I can’t get ANY kills with it. Not one. This is HORRIBLE! What the star star star star did you do?

Posted by: FiZZiT_ on 03-04-2010

This is horrible. I loved the Fal, I honestly cried for it. I mean, what kills am I supposed to get. Naughty Dog, you’re great at ruining amazing online. In my opinion, keep 1.04. Keep reppin’ 1.04 those who agree. Fix it ND! You can do it, you rock.

Posted by: MagixAdept on 03-04-2010

Ok let me break down the foolishness of one of the biggests comments I see…

~Looking back at these old videos before the new update has me see just how ‘superhuman’ everyone was. No matter how well-placed a shot I had, certain maps with many obstructions, like Lost_City, made earning points ridiculous~

You dam right everyone was superhuman which is why it actually took skill to get a freaking kill. You couldn’t just spray your AK willy nilly and pray you hit something. You had to track down your prey and make sure people died. AIMing was actually key to the game. You couldn’t just blind fire with a sniper and kill someone like the ridiculous crap I see now.

~Aside from situational obstructions, these ‘tanks’ roaming around would also avoid certain death without making a single evasive maneuver (dodge, leap) due to their resilience to flaming ammunition~

Um I still see cases where laggers or other odd people take 4 shots with the FAL to die. At times it seems like there are sponges in battle. They absorb massive bullets and don’t die. I’m not sure why my friend had to shoot a guy with a FAL 3 times to kill him when he had Invalid on. I thought the damage was supposed to be increased. Thank you for replay footage so counting the bullets actually made it possible -_-

~That’s the whole point of the Circle button, and for barricades and walls: to use caution with your life. Having buffed up health sort of defeats that purpose~

Yes and having lowered health (stronger guns) adds realism to the game that doesn’t need it. If you want realism and dying faster then guess what you should play. Call of mother freaking Duty. This game wasn’t meant to be real that added to its originality and fun. Being able to recover from gun damage and switch it around on your enemy makes you feel like a pro. It’s a skill the Veterans of the game masters and the noobs of the game eventually must learn.

~Some people seem to want to play on a very basic level, which is understandable, since some prefer to just spray in a head-on confrontation and hope they hit more than their opponent does, settling with that “Oh well” death~

This game has gotten tons more basic then it was before. Like I said the skill is gone. Kills are easier and getting killed is also easier. That seems like the basics to me. Like-wise there are still ridiculous people that rush you blinding with their now overpowered AK trying to kill you. It happened in the 1.04 before and you merely just laugh at the noob. Now that it happens the person now has a chance to kill you because of those super penetrating bullets.

~Or maybe they like having more health to give them even more time to toss a grenade at the floor before they die or run away~

Once again still happens. Revenge is and always was a pointless booster because people usually toss a grenade right before they die and it still happens now

~But in a skill-based game, such as this, the new update (1.05) encourages people to… yeah, actually aim better in those head-on confrontations. To stop blitzing me when you have a gun in your hand though you try to melee me. To use better situational discernment and such~

Fail once again. You barely need to aim if a person dies in 4 bullets from a AK. Just spray and pray and hope your bullets land a hit. Naughty Dog seems like they are Nintendo now. They are trying to appeal to the casual gamers while the hardcore veterans drop their jaw wondering wtf happened to the game they loved

~A booster is exactly that. A ‘booster.’ It is meant to simply aid the player with what they regularly do, not perfect one’s ability at something. I happen to be a pistoleer, but Down_the_Irons, as it is now, seems to remove any handicap that would hinder the player while aiming instead of lessening it. I feel that (blue) offensive boosters should simply assist performance and not completely correct errors. People do well off without it, from what I’ve seen, but again, people seem to enjoy playing on a basic level and haven’t noticed that yet. Reducing the booster should be no big deal, lol, calm down~

Can’t really disagree of agree here. I can snipe people now with the ridiculous OP AK and I use Rapid Hands. People complaining about Down The Irons seem to actually just be pissed that they are getting owned from afar by a AK. Why are they getting killed by the AK? It’s because Naughty Dog foolishy raised the power of all guns and is making a have assed attempt to fix it by decreasing Down The Irons. I can snipe without it so I’m sure many other people will still be able to do it

Continued…

~And for the FAL rate-of-fire adjustment, that also seems ideal for the sake of balancing the new update. The FAL already has very impressive range, accuracy (heh, when scoped in), and rate-of-fire. Mixing all those elements in with the 1.05 update makes it even more favorable. The 1.06 update keeps its range and accuracy, but lowering the rate-of-fire is certainly a more plausible decision. Besides, if you FAL users could aim so well before the 1.05 update, then a shortness of a mere 10% should not be very troublesome~

If you played any type of RPG game you’d know know 10% is a huge deal. Yes its not gonna take away your aim but that slight delay in bullets will just mean the people with automatic weapons or that fast ass pistol are gonna get off their shots way before you resulting in a double death or the FAL user with a death from the raised damage. They wouldn’t need to try and fix the FAL if they once again just left the game alone. You can’t fix something thats not broken. They are doing a good job of clearing out glitches which were the only flaw in the game

~Don’t let the boosters/guns dictate how you perform. When the game is balanced like this, only your skill and experience should dictate the outcome of confrontations and situations, not tweaks and adjustments brought by updates. That’d be rather silly~

Once again how the hell is the game now balanced? People rush you and no scope or blind fire kill you with a sniper. AKs can now beat a shotgun in close range and can beat FALs in long range and can nearly freaking beat a sniper XD. The balancing was simply fine back in the days of 1.04

~NaughtyDog, I know you love your gaming community and I clearly see that you all are doing a fine job with addressing matters in the game, and I appreciate you taking great interest in what we all have to say. I don’t mean to be rude - this is just an analogy - but you don’t give candy to whining babies. I hope that the complaining gaming community can support their claims instead of pleading and possibly having you all change a truly great thing~

Why did they change the truly great game in the first place? I’m sure if this 1.05 crap was out and about when Uncharted 2 was getting their reviews by IGN and other site it would not have made game of the year. I’d say a 8.0 out of 10 at the best. I believe Naughty Dog is simply trying to reach the casual aduience of gamers that were simply getting owned when they first turned on their systems and didn’t “adapt” to the original style of gameplay. Thus Naughty Dog appears to only be looking for more money. This doesn’t seem to be working because for those that still try this game they would have noticed the huge 30K drop in daily players. I wonder what that could be about? Also I never knew “whining” or “complaining” was considered to be voicing your opinion. If you want something changed then you talk about it. You don’t sit there and let your teacher call you Dick all year and your name is Richard do you?

I respect your opinion though and everyone elses I just can’t see how so many people don’t see the wrong in whats been happening. Naughty Dog you were the perfect puppy I brought home that didn’t need training. You fed yourself and needed no assistance when it came to me walking you. After 5 months thought I noticed I let you out for your walk and you just wouldn’t go. I thought maybe it was too early but minutes later you took a huge crap right on my Playstation 3. Naughty Dog why are you doing this to me? I loved you so much D:

Posted by: StoopKid410 on 03-04-2010

These comments dont even matter.. i lost hope in them changing the game because i remember the one article i read titled “We’re listening” and i was like “yea finally they are gonna change the game back to the way it was!” because all the comments that they were suposedly listening to were complaining about the change in health. 3/5 of them comments on the 1.05 update article were complaining bout the health.. so wtf were u listening to? there might hav been one comment on the grenades and u change that shit, u changed the fal that everybody was happy with, wait come to think about it we were all happy with the original online gamplay and u changed that. If NaughtyDog really made all these tweaks and junk based of that bullshit poll then i suggest u do another poll cuz there is alot of unhappy players that did not want any of this.

Posted by: roseofmayix on 03-04-2010

It seems that the update to the Fort didn’t go so well. I still see glitchers running rampant all over the map.

*sigh*

The only thing I like about this update is the removal of the automated arm switching thing.

Posted by: SNAPS_24 on 03-04-2010

thank god the grenades are weaker those thinks are in dodgable lol made my own word when you kill a guy and roll or he threw a nade across the map and you see it and roll and your like 10 feet away and still blow up so god dame annoying and the fal so got dame strong now its crazy 2 taps and the bullet lags behind and you still die im happy they are changing some of these things

Posted by: Enmax24 on 03-04-2010

Naughty Dog you should put back the update 1.04 the game was amazing with everything back then.

People from level 50 to 60 was hard to kill because they are “experienced” people that knows how to play, and when you lowered the health or increased the guns power someone from level 1 who kills everyone think they know how to play because of the noob update

The point of the game is that good players kills the most not the players that don’t know how to play.

(The best thing you can do right know and believe me please is to put back update 1.04 with the new medals and putting back the guns like they were and letting the hit boxes from update 1.06 and NEVER EVER update again except for a new map or new skins or new weapons).

DO THIS AND EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WILL PLAY AGAIN THIS GAME LIKE THEY DID WITH THE UPDATE 1.04 AND I BET THAT IF THEY DON’T COME BACK TO PLAY YOU CAN TAKE TO LEVEL 1.

BTW I’m level 53…

Players who are with me, in every comment that you’re going to type put my PSN ID so naughty dog knows what we want.

Posted by: roccoSH on 03-04-2010

u * up this time NaughtyDog. * this game. i dont see why the * u would reduce the FAL. keep 1.05, im telling ALL of the people on my friends list NOT to PLAY THIS GAME. it * sucks ass and ur team is a * up after this, i STILL KNOW 6 GLITCHES AT THE FORT, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE GUNS THAT WERE ALREADY PERFECT, FIX THE GLITCHES. Down the Irons was PERFECT, why the hell would u decrease the accuracy on a * accuracy booster. im pissed now naughtydog, u * up too far this time. * this game

Posted by: nurse85 on 03-04-2010

hi ND! i am a great fan of UC2 since the release and i love the multiplayer, its the best shooter ever! i think you guys do a great job and the update 1.06 is great, you are listening to the community. the fal was too strong in 1.05, now its perfect, i also like the new strength of the grenades, now you need more skills and the “grenadenoobs” have no chances^^ keep the weapons in this balance! i love u ND

Posted by: Christopheee on 03-04-2010

good job ND, I like the idea about the limbs part, the grenades looked fine so far for me though (though buggy at times), I just updated the game and gonna give it a shot!

and to those whinning about the 1.04 and all and not being like the beta.. well no Uncharted 2 ISN’T a beta anymore, that’s the whole purpose of it! to evolve and improve!

Edit: after a game with 1.06 (except the fact the game freaking froze and I had to reboot the PS3!) I can say I liked the limb change, it does show, though the grenade is overdone, I survived 2 blast that would have killed me but I missed 3 kills also with mine, I’ll try to get used to it!

Posted by: elsencillo on 03-04-2010

IMPROVED? THE GAME WAS ALREADY PERFECT WHEN IT CAME OUT ON OCT 13 2009… THERE WAS NOTHING TO IMPROVE IN UC2 GAMEPLAY.. ND SHOULD FOCUS ON FIXING GLITCHES THAT’S IT.. SINCE WHEN ND BEEN WORKING ON A MULTIPLAYER??? NEVER, THAT’S RIGHT ND IS INEXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO MULTIPLAYER, SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE TO A ALREADY WONDERFUL, AMAZING GAMEPLAY? WHY? WHY?? HAS INFINITY WARD CHANGE IS GAMEPLAY OVER THE PAST YEARS? NOOO, HAS ZIPPER CHANGE IT’S GAME GAMEPLAY(SOCOM) OVER THE PAST YEARS?? NOOOO… SO WHY ND?? WHY YOU? WHY FIX WHATS NOT BROKEN?

Posted by: BeKuki on 03-04-2010

some suggestions: u shud allow us to change characters during the fight at respawns, i dont like being the same guy for the entire match...and please can u make a hiest chloe since drake and flynn both have hiest attire, thank you

Posted by: Ace-Deucey on 03-04-2010

Ok I’ve played the new update. 1.05 turned a diamond in the rough into a minor turd. The new update took the only two things that gaveplayers a chance with the lower health the Fal and the grenades and messed with them. It should go back to 1.04 because a turd can’t be polished.

Posted by: korgon117 on 03-04-2010

Well although i do agree that the fal is useless now, this update is really good! its much more action packed since people actually dont just camp the entire time! If I could make a suggestion on the FAL though ND. I think you should make firing rate back to normal, but make damage take 3-4 FAL bursts to kill someone. Or just leave it either way Im happy now and this update is at least a step in the right direction. NICE WORK ND, 1.06 >1.05 by a long shot!

Posted by: TrustNot on 03-04-2010

@MagixAdept
perfectly said and i agree 100%.

ND i have pretty much lost all hope in how you guys can support a MP. five months in, and you change everything, and like i said in my earlier post; why have 2 MP demoes and not change anything when the game was released if it was so bad that it needed the changes that came with patch 1.05? just admit you messed up and revert it back to 1.04 and/or work to make it its own playlist. that will solve everything and you wouldnt have such a backlash with the community. but i guess you guys could care less, otherwise this would have been done in the first place.

with all of the crap going on, i am not looking forward for U3 which is inevitably coming. and if i choose to play it, ill just pick it up from gamestop, because the way you are supporting this game now, why would i ever want to give you more money to screw things up again. and i really regret buying the map pack, even though it was only a few bucks, i just feel like i got screwed hoping that all of this crap would go away eventually. but from the looks of it, you guys (ND) will just continue on making stupid mistakes trying to fix something that was not broken in the first place.

and from the looks of it, you guys are well on your way in causing another huge negative response from people for this patch. like i said before, ill give this patch a week or so but it looks like ill be heading to gamestop some time soon, because i am fed up with all this crap you guys are doing.

heres a few ideas; quit making such drastic gameplay tweaks and concentrate all your power on fixing connection issues, glitches, and other efficiency issues. i am fed up with getting dropped from a game and losing 40k, not being able to connect to people on my friends list, and running into people that are glitching. get your priorities straight. quit trying to please all your fans by bending over at every complaint and just do what you guys do best (well maybe not anymore) make original games without trying to be like every one else and hopping on the money bandwagon.

TrustNot

I don’t like the 1.05. I was away from my games and I come back and half my fun is killed because everyone runs around with the AK rather then switching things up. This makes it a skilless game unless you want to sit on some corner and take shots but thats not the sort of game this is. Now I also feel that the perks can be overpowering but thats acceptable(just makes it harder for new guys). I was looking at their poll and they didn’t read it the way they should have. The people that didn’t want it and the people that wanted it as a special playlist should have been grouped together because they obviously didn’t want their entire game changed so. I guess I can live with it though but the melee still needs to be fixed. Now I guess its time to practice till I adapt.

Posted by: WolfJayFlywheel on 03-04-2010

Am I playing a damn beta? How many updates must we endure? Resistance 2 hasn’t received half as many and it was released a year and a half ago. Every couple of weeks the game changes. How does Naughty Dog expect to keep a dedicated fanbase when the game is never the same. Reducing the rate of fire of the FAL was terribly detrimental to the game’s balance. Now I squeeze off one shot and my target takes cover. There’s no longer any penalty for standing around like a goon and making a target of one’s self. It feels like I’m playing * whack-a-mole! The other updates were tolerable; they didn’t significantly change the gameplay. The latest update, however, makes it seem like an entirely different game and worse at that. I may have to quite playing competetive and dedicate myself to cooperative...or simply revert to Resistance 2. Don’t worry. I won’t threaten to sell my copy of Uncharted 2 (wouldn’t make a difference). I still love the game. I’m just asking for consistency.

Posted by: JAXEVANS07 on 03-04-2010

Unbelievable. ND you are showing great support, but this FAL decreased by 10% makes it pretty much useless. My favorite weapon is a joke now. Can’t adapt to this update, since my ‘trigger’ finger hits the button faster than the gun could shoot out. ND, you kinda screwed the people that have played the game for hours to increase their ‘skill’. I hope you guys will simply fix the fal back to the way it was. Until then I have to do the unthinkable ....don’t play Uncharted online...... :(

Posted by: Nitroatyou on 03-04-2010

WHY didnt you fix the servers everytime im in a match im killing someone then they lose connection also why didnt you fix the “cant move” lag its getting really annoying and the lowered health is awful since the half health and glass jaw boosters are a free $20,000 and $15,000 to the wear so please everything back to normal and Please please fix the “cant move” lag

Posted by: TheRob1983 on 03-04-2010

Another update, another big mess you’ve made of this once fantastic multiplayer experience. 1.05 ruined the game, now 1.06 has ruined grenades. I could care less about the FAL changes because I never use the weapon, but Im sure there are those out there that dont appreciate such a change. If you really want to please your fans, GO BACK TO 1.04. REVERT TO 1.04 OR MAKE ANOTHER PLAYLIST. 1.04 WAS PERFECT.

Posted by: jnco10999 on 03-04-2010

Naughty Dog, despite your other shortcomings, you have hit the nail on the head on grenade radius/damage. It’s perfect now, keep it that way. Now everyone has ample opportunity to survive a thrown grenade, nice job. Really =)

Posted by: Jei4Del on 03-04-2010

LEAVE THE GAME ALONE!!!!
I USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING THIS GAME DURING MY FREE TIME FROM COLLEGE OR MY SOCIAL LIFE!

THE GERNADES SUCK, THEY DON’T SERVE ANY MAJOR PURPOSE ANYMORE!
MY FAVORITE WEAPON, THE FAL, SUCKS AT LONG DISTANCE AND ESPECIALLY CLOSE! ANY WEAPON CAN EASILY BEAT YOU WITH YOUR FAL ON!!
THIS ISN’T UNCHARTED ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DID YOU ALL DO THIS!???
IT USED TO BE AWSOME, NOW I REALLY CAN’T ENJOY MYSELF ONLINE.

I USED TO LOVE THIS GAME :(
PLEASE FIX IT........AGAIN
I REALLY WANT TO PLAY UNCHARTED AGAIN DURING MY FREE TIME, BUT I JUST GET ANNOYED AT THE SO CALLED UPDATES.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX IT, ALTHOUGH I DO SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY GIRL, A GOOD GAME SESSION NOW AND THEN IS A NICE STRESS RELEIVER FROM MY SOCIAL LIFE, COLLEGE, AND WORK. NAUGHTY DOG REALLY MADE A GREAT GAME, BUT PLEASE DON’T ALTER IT TO THE EXTREMES YOU ALL JUST DID.

PLEASE GIVE US THE OLD UNCHARTED BACK
THANK YOU 4 YOUR TIME...IF YOU ALL DO READ THIS

URGENT PROBLEM!

Every time I start up Uncharted 2 now, it says I need to install the patch. I try to install it, and the system restarts. If I try to start up Uncharted 2 again it just repeats this process. Somebody help!
