Uncharted 3 Lab Update: Team Objective T-Bolt and Pistoles Only

The new lab this week involves the Team Objective game types. You’ll be armed with a T-Bolt and Pistole only. The lab is available now. Load up the Lab playlist and get ready to crush those objectives.

We’ve made some live updates to Uncharted 3 Multiplayer. Matchmaking will now search for players within a wider range of rank. For instance, if you’re level 75, we will form a match for you looking for players ranked 40 and higher. This should help matchmaking happen more quickly.

We want to drop a quick reminder about profile resets. It’s a rare occurrence that’s been happening to a few players. It typically occurs after accepting the EULA when it pops up again. As we said last week, we can likely retrieve your account data if you contact us as soon as it happens. If you see your profile data has been reset at all, please don’t play past level 10 on the same account. Send us a direct message us via the forums right away and wait until we reply. Read full details on what to do here.

As always, check out the calendar on your stats page for other upcoming labs and multiplayer events. See you online!

Ping-based matchmaking NOW!

Please abolish this level-based nonsense.

Seconded. this game isn’t really worth playing at this point because of the terrible lag. matching by level has made the situation far worse.

Thirded. How are players going to have a better chance against teleporting, double damage, bullet sponging enemies than against a simply more experienced enemy? Based matchmaking on ping, and base team balance on K/D in kill modes, and plunder caps in plunder, and objective points in TO.

Why is ND so stubborn to admit their gaffe?

Seriously, it reminds me of the 1.05 fiasco. There must be some pretty HUGE EGOS in that company.

I think matchmaking should be based on Kill / Death ratio. Sure, they may be a high rank, but rank means nothing in Uncharted. That just shows how much time you’ve put into the game. I see teams getting dominated more than I ever have, since you tweaked the matchmaking. Even if you’re the best player in uncharted, you can’t carry a team that stinks so horribly, that you’re often getting. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve carried a team and I still would end up losing, with a K / D of 24-8 in a match. Please, do the matchmaking by Kill / Death ratio.

In any multiplayer game, rank doesn’t signpost how good you are. I’ve seen 5th Legacies with appalling statistics. As camgamejam98 said: Matchmaking should be based on Kill/Death ratio. Base it off of the statistics of the players to make a fair game. It will limit frustration - not just within the game - but within the community as a whole. On the plus side: I’m still enjoying the hell out of the multiplayer. Glad to see the T-Bolt being utilized in the Lab once again.

You guys should base it off of K/D for a while to experiment.  I hate getting the teammates with 0.3 K/D ratios while the other team is stacked with 1.5+.  Hell, I have a video on YouTube of me going 36-12 and LOSING because of 4 bad teammates.

Congrats to your K/D ratio.
Nevertheless you are on a wrong way.
Why do you think the UC multiplayer is only for pros?
My K/D ratio is ridiculous in comparison to yours but i have fun to play this mp.
I don’t care about my own stats - why should i care about yours?
My opinion is to have fun and this doesn’t depend on how much kills i have.
Obviously you don’t remember, you also have been a beginner in this game....

it wouldn’t hurt to give matchmaking by kdr a try. It’s more fair as there is no workaround in kdr matchmaking unless you intentionally tank a lot matches w/c I presume is not fun and more difficult to do than creating an alt account or refusing to legacy(wc is the loophole in levelbased mm). This will make matchmaking more fair, but it might not fix the lag others are experiencing.

and I think its about time ND’s site gets a mobile/tablet version. Do a month long xmas celebration, please nd lol. Complete w/ xmas themed costumes/acc, taunts, guns, treasures and maps too if possible.

After playing the epic fail that was the Hammers Objective lab, I wasn’t sure if ND could make a fun lab out of that gamemode, but hey, you managed to deliver the first fun non-Mesh lab in a long time. wink

Also, like everyone has been suggesting, go back to PING-based matchmaking or experimenting with KDR or W/L R. smile

You guys should make the good players play with the good players in CO-OP. I have beatean all the Uncharted games on Crushing but when I do CO-op for U3 Multiplayer, I always lose because everytime I join a co-op game I always get bad players that have more than 3,000 deaths than kills. Its really frustrating. Also if all players leave the game in co-op the 1 player left should at least get sum money and xp points from the match.
