good update, yes i think every one should have there rank symble next to there name too, and i saw a rank 60 carrying the treasher in plunder on there back! i was like how? lol so uncharted has some secrets…

Posted by: Jekahog on 06-02-2010

Hold up a 1 sec.... aren’t we suppose to have some kind of Reward for Reaching lvl 60 (X) and not something to PISS us OFF… It might be fun now but for how long??

Or maybe im wrong.. What do i KNOW!!!!!

Posted by: DRAGONLORD_LVL45 on 06-02-2010

I knew the FAL wasn’t changed. There has been talk on the forum about it, they haven’t used the FAL in so long that it seems like it changed. I think they’ve changed it a little without telling us before this update.

Posted by: Shadow-Man_4 on 06-02-2010

Nice update but still abit disappointed as there hasn’t been much changes :(

Btw arne, are you guys still working on DLC for UNCHARTED 2 or only updates?

Would really appreciate atleast a hint!

Posted by: arne on 06-02-2010

Mentioned this in our forums: It was already not working due to the SSL certificate expiring. We were going to update the certificate but noticed that the Twitter API is changing and our method for sending out updates wouldn’t be valid for much longer anyway. We wouldn’t be able to implement a different way of accessing the API with the current game code.

still nothing said about lag issues and earnings lost due to game freeze and being fined on top of that.time to buy supn new am over your BS!PS: i take it your partener (wildspeculation) either cant read or just doesnt give a shyat.posted several times over past couple of days only to be ignored.

Posted by: arne on 06-02-2010

We ran Double Cash beyond the stated ending date to account for the lost time. I didn’t know about that until today though, and I was traveling at the time, so I couldn’t make sure everybody was aware via blog/forums/twitter.

“Players with DLC and the DLC Matchmaking option selected in their online profile will find games in those maps more consistently”

I leave mine on DLC match all the time and hardly ever seem to play anything *other* than the DLC. Does this new option mean I’ll get a better map mix, or that I’ll get even less chance to play on-disc maps unless I switch the preference to ‘Default’?

Posted by: JanitorialDoody on 06-02-2010

Naughty Dog has released PLENTY of DLC. They treat their fans better than any other game I’ve ever been a part of makers have. The only ones who can really rival Naughty Dog would be Bungie or Epic.

Posted by: Furrikiller1 on 06-02-2010

it will really help if you fix the granade or put a booster that was “bigger granade explosion”

and also more DLC im dying to buy more siege is owesome and in the next Dlc could you put “GOLDSOR” and “SIR FRANCIS DRAKE”

doing great ND!!!

Posted by: DILLDOOE on 06-03-2010

They should delete the bull sh*t platzor… That costume is ment for 60 not any body else… There is no point to getting to 60 any more cause u guys keep making the 60 costumes but changing color.. WTF 60s deserve more then any body else.. That platzor just pisses me off… 60s NEED deserve more dammit!!!

“Improvements made to team balancing calculations”

It’s about time. I hope this really helps because I have been in some of the most hilariously unbalanced matches way too many times. I was in one match where every person on the villain’s side was under level 20 and everyone on the hero’s side was way over that level. The villains got massacred. I was under the impression that matchmaking was supposed to level out the teams so that the matches could be even and more fun. That is really the only problem I’ve ever had with the game so I’m glad ND keeps improving these things. I love you Naughtydogs.

Posted by: Mit- on 06-02-2010

Seriously. Every time a match is about to start I bet on what the teams will be. Here’s what I do every time: group myself with the four lowest level players. Guess what, I’m almost always right!

The only time I don’t predict them to be that, is when I’m the highest level player in the match. In that case, I group myself with the four highest level players, and am almost always right as well.

I had a few matches today that were very nicely balanced (even if half my team ragequit every other match, woohoo 2 on 5’s!), but still had a few that were the opposite.

Next, you all should implement a team balancing mechanic :O I suppose that might be difficult, having to load a different character model and all that, though. But it would be nice. Fighting 2 on 5’s or 2 on 4’s is lame.

Posted by: demonsgalore on 06-02-2010

unnecessary bullshit this “next to their psn id icon”

go play red dead redemption to see what a real arcade shooter has to be

no grenade laming
headshots possible not luck (with some delay...)
free for all death match

the gameplay is so much more fun…

you know to handle the ps3, you know how to make god storys but you dont know how to make a game without options to lame in multiplayer.

Posted by: scole303 on 06-02-2010

I have no idea what people are complaining about the grenades: They are perfect since the radius got decreased.

You just have to a) time it better and b) aim better and know when to use L1+R1 and when to use L2.

Everytime you are cover vs cover, all you have to do is L2 it on the egde of your enemy’s cover so it bumps off down to him.
Or use walls, they are so many possiblities for walls.
Or someone is chasing you or running towards you where you can surprise them… timing

Anyway ‘nades are perfect and I (and many others I guess) hope they stay the way they are.

Posted by: Mit- on 06-02-2010

Except they can just roll away from all of that and survive. The only time a grenade kill is guaranteed is if they’re stuck in position (like in a melee animation), you throw it at the floor when they’re chasing so it blows up quickly (likely killing you too), or they’re already injured heavily so the tiny amount of splash damage they get while rolling kills them.

Otherwise, seriously, your opponents are just incompetent if they’re getting hit by those kind of grenades. If you see a grenade icon flying towards you, roll away. Success, you’ve survived! They’re actually more useful for luring people where you want them to go so you can shoot them.

I’d like a grenade radius that’s halfway between the old radius and the new radius. FAL could also use a change that’s half as drastic as how it is now. Seriously, no one uses that thing anymore. It’s the same problem. Get one burst off on someone, they roll to cover or evade, no kill for you.

Posted by: Vrals597 on 06-02-2010

I am on the Sixth Nation of Gamers Forum and there is one guy on there, might have heard of him name of Endloslung, who got a perfect on The Fort by just using the FAL not to mention I pick it up sometimes and it is a very reliable weapon if you can aim it at the right spot and get off the six shots, it definitely does not help when people just take cover.

As for Grenades I don’t mind the decreased distance that much, an increase might help but idk, but what I do mind is that now people chuck Grenades like it is the 4th of July, I think there is a bitch of a glitch with Grenades sometimes but other than that it is pretty much fine, the knockdown sure does help a lot as well so it doesn’t really matter if you get a kill with a Grenade or not because it definitely opens the way for an easy, not a fan of using them like this myself though, I do remember one time when someone chucked a Grenade at me, damaged me, and then Pulled me down, now that was annoying, other than that and the number of Grenades that are being thrown I got no problem with the current Grenades

Posted by: Mit- on 06-02-2010

My issue with grenades can really be explained with one example that happened to me: A grenade has literally bounced off my character’s chest, and I was still able to roll away from it and not take damage. That’s a problem >_>

And yes, Fort is the complete exception to the FAL changes. That’s the only level I can recall anyone intentionally picking up an FAL in anymore. That, and it’s slightly useful in Village sometimes when you’re at the top of the high end of the level and have a large lane (like Fort) to look down and try and hit people from afar with it as they run up.

Posted by: Vrals597 on 06-02-2010

Yeah, I remember one time, it was like 1.05 or 1.06, I literally rolled over a Grenade so that when it went off my heart was right over it and guess what happened, I took almost no damage and I didn’t even get a knockdown

Posted by: scole303 on 06-03-2010

Yeah rolling away works fine vs grenades.

The trick is that they don’t see em coming. You have to throw the grenades not to them but to the place they will be when it explodes.

Like in the Temple when you are in the rpg room where one grenade spawns and there is 2 stairs to each side. I love when people are running up to you.

Of course when they don’t move you throw them to the place they are. Throwing it to the side of cover makes them quite hard to spot.

Posted by: Vrals597 on 06-02-2010

Nice update and all but did you have to include the results as well as the profile? Does not work for me anyway, btw are you sure that you fixed all spawn points because I was camping in The Fort today and someone on the other team literally spawned where I was, idk what it was but I would really like to get a spawn update, if I remember correctly you said that you were going to still work on the Plunder spawns when you said that the spawns in the other game modes had been changed

Posted by: arne on 06-02-2010

Try the following:

1. On the XMB go to the “Game” icon
2. Press up until you have “Game Data Utility” highlighted and press ‘X’
3. Select the data that says something like Uncharted 2 1.07 and hit “TRIANGLE” and delete it
4. Select the data that only says Uncharted 2 and hit “TRIANGLE” and delete that
5. Whatever you do, don’t be tempted to delete the data under the “Save Game Utility”!!
6. Launch Uncharted 2, connect to multiplayer and let it download and install all the Title Updates (this will take a little while at this point)
7. Exit back out to the XMB, go to your PSN download history and redownload all your previous DLC (paid and unpaid DLC)

See if that helps.

Posted by: Muhib786 on 06-02-2010

Hey Arne, I am having the same problem. Every time I try to sign into multiplayer it keeps on saying “Error syncing player data.” I have the same problem as majora96 above, and I have tried out the solution you posted above several times but it still keeps on saying “Error syncing player data.”

I had this problem before and you guys fixed it with a title update. Please, please, please, can you guys fix this problem.

Can you get back ASAP Arne.

Thanks! And keep up the good work!

Posted by: majora96 on 06-02-2010

Thats good. Anyway I stopped playing for a half an hour and I went back into the game and somehow it worked again. I don’t know how that happened but its fixed. Thank you. I hope your problem gets fixed Muhib786. Good Day to you all.

Posted by: roccoSH on 06-02-2010

hey arne sick update since 1.05(1.05 was my faorite) anyway, for june summer DLC can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Sir Francis Drake????? i swear ill buy the DLC 8 times if hes on it. PLEASE REPLY to the Sir Francis Drake question!

Posted by: sthaus on 06-02-2010

i guess us australians are in the dont care pile lol.pity because i use to love your game well both of them really as drakes fortune was great too.but as im having to many issues with the game online those days are over and your lack of interest doesnt inspire me any.

Posted by: demonsgalore on 06-03-2010

some explosions are just not real. for example…

two tubes with the hammer to kill one person ^^? ridiculous…

my suggestion… minimize the magazine to two or three bullets and make the damn thing to a one kill babe. in every map just one or after a time two super weapons…

in real life one grenade would hack everything in a radius of 25m +-2m. if you throw well you thrown a grenade up to 30m

my suggestion lower the throw range and restore the throwrange and reduce the throw speed....

Posted by: LiToDiAl on 06-03-2010

Everything is fine for me. Nice job ND. I do have to agree that the hammer sucks. 2 shots for a kill with a grenade launcher is just ridiculous.

I’ll jump on the “want more dlc bandwagon. Even if it’s skins once in a while. Investing so much time in a game does make for wanting a little more in shorter periods of time. Most games, I spend 1/5 the time on, I don’t care much about dlc. So I can understand why lots of people want more dlc. Even if its trickled to us 1 skin at a time....lol

Posted by: McAwesum on 06-03-2010

Cool. I like the fixes. Does the ‘Team Balancing’ fix take care of issues like: I would be in a party of 4 players total and there would be 4 other players. So one would assume that the game would put my party of 4 against the other random guys. But instead, one of my friends would get put on the other team and we’d get a different random player on our team. I mean it was funny the first time; but would this update fix that problem. Or has no one else encountered that issue before and you didn’t address it?

Posted by: DILLDOOE on 06-03-2010

I got board of this game. Add more boosters and something special for 60s and not a damb x icon. More like a booster or a costume you won’t duplicate like skelzor. There is no point to getting to 60 any more cause you guys pretty much gave away all benifits. After sixty I made 3 other accounts 2 50s and a 40. Then I got really freaken board so I bought red dead redemption. So give 60s the benifit of the doubt. Other than that good job.

Posted by: alexruler on 06-03-2010

Did anyone notice that it took like 20 sec. to download 1.08????? I have a friend that somewhat glitches and noticed that his favourite ones are gone, I WILL NOT TELL HIS NAME.
ND, are you suuuuure you did not increase the SAS-12 range, it seems you did. (1-shot-5m-blindfire-kill).

Posted by: Maxamilius291 on 06-03-2010

I like the feature with the lvl 60’s rank appearing next to their names - The platzor skin kind of took away the awesomeness of the skelzor skin, so ND has given them something else to make up for it Good job ND, keep up the good work!

Posted by: DpOblivion on 06-03-2010

“Players with DLC and the DLC Matchmaking option selected in their online profile will find games in those maps more consistently”

This is worrying me a bit. I haven’t had a chance to get on yet since 1.08, but I remember when the Flooded Ruins/Facility came out, it seemed like most of the time, at least one of the options in the voting was for one of the new maps, often times both options. I ended up turning DLC off at times just so I could play the other maps.

I have been much happier lately with the balance of which maps show up in matchmaking. I haven’t felt like anything comes up too often or not often enough. Now I am worried that this update will make the DLC come up too often again.

Just because I paid extra for the DLC does not mean I want to play those maps more often. They are all fun, but places like Village, Plaza, Temple, and Train Wreck are still my favorite maps to play.

That said, any update that provides additional measures against glitching is a good update, and I’m happy about the Level 60 badges showing up. Keep up the good work, ND!

Posted by: F__U__B__A__R_ on 06-03-2010

On Dogs You Should Have A Pole On Taking SITUATION AWARNESS Out Of The Game There Is No Need For That Booster Its For Garbage Players An I Hate To Say It But LV 60s Use It More Than Anyone U Think After Playing That Much U Wouldnt Have To Rely On The Noob Boost 2 Get Kills Just Have A Pole On It Dog Bet You No One Wants it In There Maybe U Can Make It Expire After U Hit A High LV Think Bout It

Posted by: Prototype_79L on 06-03-2010

The spawn system got worse since 1.07, it was good in 1.07, finally, now i keep seeing respawning people in front of my eyes AGAIN. It would be best to leave the game as it is, these monthly screwing with the rules is annoying now. Start working on U3

Posted by: VA_B00Gi3 on 06-03-2010

im tryna figure out who truly is a pro because i would really love to verse a pro to see how really good they are but if you are a true pro and you somehow read this message please send me a friends request so i can play you because a lot of people say that they are pros but they never can beat me

Posted by: demitrilowe23 on 06-03-2010

Can we get a new playlist, something like free for all? And can we go higher than level 60 because once you get to level 60 the game gets a bit boring, nothing to look forward to. And will there be a Uncharted 3?
Thnx xx

Posted by: BreasticalsIRL on 06-03-2010

Thanks ND great update
1 gripe is it just me or is spawns taken a bad turn........Atleast on Santuary they have been annoying.....
Great update otherwise

PS: Is Winter Sully going to be available anytime in the near future?

Thanks ND

Posted by: WigsZone on 06-03-2010

Two Issues:
1) DLC Map appearance is waaaaay too frequent. Balance was fine for all maps before on DLC. Now on DLC every single map that comes up is a DLC Map. This was PERFECT before and now its ALWAYS like Ruins vs Highrise or some combination of the 4 DLC maps.

2) Just not allowing players to change boosters in the last 2 seconds before the game begins is just lazy programming. Many times people actually change their mind last second and want a different booster on. You should be able to change this such that we can change boosters whenever we want during the countdown and not shut out at 2 seconds left.

Posted by: DpOblivion on 06-03-2010

Yup, my fears from my previous post were confirmed. Just played in five matches for the first time since 1.08, and in ALL FIVE matches, BOTH choices were two of the four DLC maps. Looks like I’m going to be turning off the DLC in Matchmaking so I can have a bit more variety.

Posted by: pritchy26 on 06-03-2010

think the games still got a few problems but like the 3 booster has been sorted.i think as soon as ur a boh situational awarness should be taken away. i used it a lot when i 1st had it but it pisses me of when a noob is around the corner waiting to punch me just because ive got glass jaw on. pisses me off even more when lv57 use it with half loaded whats the point. this needs to be addressed because i hate having to use evasion when u c some off the ppl in the matchmaking as you know they will all have sa on when that booster is better used as a boh. or give us a 3rd booster slot to use a boh so we can put evasion on to really piss the noobs off and get em when there looking up hahaha

Posted by: luigilow312 on 06-03-2010

PLEASE READ ARNE!!!
Please can you make a dlc with four player? Please! Then uncharted 2 will be the best game ever.THE BEST. I need this cuz when i have my friends over we got to take turns,and i am better than my friends cuz they dont have uncharted, or even a ps3. I will pay 20.00 dollars for this really,(well maybe not that much) and if you ppl agree with me post a comment saying 2 thru 4 player

Posted by: deltaravager on 06-03-2010

Naughty Dog, you guys are my heroes! Arne, you put up with so much on this forum and deserve a reward! I absolutely LOVE this game! The multiplayer is easily the best available on ANY console and it’s only getting better. I have one request though: Summer is quikly approaching and I was kind of hoping you guys would have a school’s out weekend, similar to the Halloween one, with double cash and new costumes. I understand if that won’t happen (you guys are busy after all) but I was hoping. Arne, please reply with your thoughts. Thanks

Uncharted 2 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: BxB-aLLeR16 on 06-03-2010

sup Naughty Dog i have been having some problems with the game it keeps saying connection error and it has been happening since the lab was added it has also been lagging a lot.This is really getting annoying and its pissing me off
