The Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception 1.03 patch is now deployed and will be rolling out across all regions globally over the next 24 hours. The patch notes to update 1.03 are as follows:

Available: January 12 2012

· Users in the largest party in a game room will no longer be designated as Villains a large majority of the time
· Cutscene viewer audio issues fixed (3D only)

Patch 1.03 contains the necessary technical hooks for the playing of upcoming DLC. Full details on the DLC content will be posted by January 17th.

Please note: Patch 1.03 must be downloaded in order to play the upcoming DLC via online or on LAN Party.

UPDATE:

We can make live updates on certain aspects of the multiplayer game and the following changes have been applied:

- Creepy Crawler Kickback - now requires 17 medals to activate (previously 15 medals).

- Quick Boom Kickback - now requires 10 medals to activate (previously 7 medals) and a 5 second decrease has been applied to its duration (now 15 seconds, previously 20 seconds)

We are working on balancing and tweaking other aspects of the multiplayer gameplay such as the FAL-SS and other elements. We'll have an update about upcoming changes as soon as we can make them available.

Yes! Finally, I won’t be playing as a Villain most of the time! (Although I do enjoy playing as Donut Talbot). Also, you’re not fooling anyone with that picture. That’s a throwback of The Ice Cave, with a jungle theme.

Have you tried deleting your Profile file in the Saved Data Utility section of the XMB?
I had the issue where my option changes wouldn’t save until I deleted both my U3 profile file and my U3 beta profile file.
All is good now.

Great! The map pack comes out next week (17th). Confirmed maps are Lost City, Sanctuary, Fort and Cave.

Out of curiosity Naughty Dog will us Europeans ever get the Beta DLC I’m still waiting since the 16th November for my DLC.

Posted by: arne on 01-12-2012

We’ve heard from our colleagues over in SCEE that we’re in the final stages of getting the Beta Rewards out to everyone that has qualified for them. I don’t have a timeline, but there’s one last list they’re getting and looking over before the e-mails/notifications/rewards go out!

Posted by: a_randay92 on 01-12-2012

arne, it isn’t just over in Europe that people haven’t gotten their beta rewards. I also haven’t gotten mine as well, along with many others from other places. I’m from Canada and I didn’t get my email either.

Posted by: abbasman47 on 01-12-2012

where did you read the confirmed maps? , and how did you know they are coming out in Jan 17th?

because i only see , “Full details on the DLC content will be posted by January 17th.” in this post.

oh and do you know how much it will cost for this DLC ? i would love to know.

cheers mate!

Posted by: CrazyFoo3000 on 01-12-2012

Great find! Why would it be so hard for ND to just give us this information already?! If they’re so ashamed that the first Map Pack is just re-jigged old maps then they shouldn’t have started out with it.

Posted by: QenTox on 01-12-2012

Guys, I hope this isn’t everything what is included in this patch?! There are so many issues posted on ND forums, that needs to be fixed… Glitch On Dessert Village, where you can leave the map and then see all the players and shoot them down easily… Spawn system on the train in London Underground… Plane sequence and train sequence are so laggy, that sometimes it is just impossible to play them… When arriving on London Underground map, sometimes some players see black screen and nothing else. And that is only just few of the bugs, that needs to be fixed.... I hope you will fix them soon! Some of them are here for a months now!

Posted by: ts8lemonade on 01-12-2012

Lol wow, two months and this is all we get. The largest party being villains bug is a great fix (finally btw, this crap has been going on since October), but gameplay issues aside there are still a lot of bugs/glitches that are yet to be addressed.

Blank treasures being dropped in co-op adventure and co-op hunter, donut drake’s glitched treasure, parties being split in matchmaking, horrendous lag. I mean I can understand at least if you guys think the game is ‘balanced’ (which it’s not), but these are bugs/glitches that have been going on since October and still go on unfixed.

Posted by: indigodomino on 01-12-2012

please fix the map sorting selection!

I always end up playing desert village, london underground, or the facility, I can’t even remember when was the last time I played other map besides those 3 I just mentioned.

Posted by: SuperSonicEX on 01-12-2012

while I’m glad we’re finally getting a patch, I’m a tad disappointed this patch doesn’t seem to include a fix to the treasure glitches people (including myself) seem to be getting in co-op. I understand this may be a harder issue to fix, but I hope a fix to that comes in a later patch in the near future.

I am glad about the Villain party fix however, now I can play as the villains more often.

Posted by: Trick_2092 on 01-12-2012

ND, can you at least confirm or deny that there is another patch being worked on that addresses many of the balance issues people have been having with the game for awhile now.

Fal-SS nerf? Quickboom nerf? and parties are still getting split up.

Its great that I get to play as my Hero more often though

Posted by: darthgeek8 on 01-12-2012

So, uh, what about the dozens of technical issues being discussed on the forums? To name a few:
A) Party splitting
B) Doughnut Drake Skull bead glitch
C) Out-of-map glitches
D) Smoke Bomb
E) Hunter treasure blanks
F) Stats-quitting-exploits
G) Skelzor Wraithful mask glitch
H) Splitscreen issues galore
I) Airstrip + London opening sequence hit detection + grenade markers
J) Bargain + Paid Bargain stacking
K) Incorrect booster readout on “Killed By” screen
L) Options not saving
M) Occasional freezing after the end of a Museum match
Do you want me to go on, Naughty Dog?

Posted by: ZeeMUDBUTT on 01-12-2012

Oh my goodness, Will many of you please get the sand out of your panties. I’m sure ND is working on all the other issues, these things take time. Im sure ND doesn’t want to have to make a patch for a patch for a patch. I’m guessing many of you are “only childs” in your family.
The FAL is not that bad. It needs to be more power than an automatic weapon, because that is the trade off. You are trading rapid fire for a single shot weapon. NOW, I will give you that the damage is a bit too high; maybe lowered just a hair. Also, I would suggest a RANDOM special character animation for the FAL jamming up if a player has a tendency to go crazy with the trigger. Animation could be of a character turning and shaking the weapon to get the jammed bullet out of the chamber. I am a fan of this idea, because I would pee my pants from laughing. ND has their own MOCAP studio.
Anyways, stop the crying please. If you are a fan of ND’s work than don’t bish so much. Thank you ND for the new patch, me and my other butt-buddies will enjoy getting to use skins other than villians. d (n.n) b

Posted by: a20198610 on 01-12-2012

That’s all? Really? Aww at least is a good start. Thx for remeber about us guys!
But what the hell with Over power power bs like FAL SS, Quick Boom KIckback and Rate Of Fire mod for M9?

FAL in current form:
- 4 shots to kill in chest
- 3 shots to kill in head
- 7 bullets in less 2 seconds (just tap R1 as fast u can)
- in mid to close range where most of the gun fight have place in this mp bouncing recoil can even give headshots/ insta kills
- in Hard Core mode we have actually 5 bullets, but thx to stopping power (who slowing down our strafing AND no boosters like Fleet Foot lv.3) after two first shots we are stucking like in mud and die almost same fast.

Quick Boom in current form:
- 7 medals cost
- with Bargain lv.3 and Paid Bargain only 4!
- it’s a sneaky kickback! NOT LIKE RPG OR HAMMER kickback (we don’t know how someone have him ready to use - unless we saw him like he activated him few seconds ago)
- thx to timer person who died few seconds after activated and use this kicback once can kill us again.
- in 2v2v2 i have at least 2 (sometimes even 3) times this kickback activated WITHOUT USING ANY BARGAIN! - and with only 7 medal cost for me.

Pls ND fix thise things by for example:

FOR FAL SS:
- add one more bullet
- slighty discrease Rate Of Fire speed by ~7%
- descrease stopping power while we strafing against them by ~10%

OR:
- do not change hit demage
- slower down bouncing recoil by ~30% - there should be reason why we have Scope In option for this gun.
- descrease stopping power while we strafing against them by ~10%
- AND, slower down Rate Of Fire speed by 50%!

For Quick Boom:
- increase medals cost to 12
- timer is over after death!!!
- 2 nades are max! Add just one grenade if we have one equpied before- and nothing more - even when we gonna have Paid Grenade Slot and Explosive Expert lv.3.
- give for us warning by for example icon of QB when we aiming in guy who already activated this booster, or he aiming in us.

Last to fix gonna be M9 with Rate Of Fire. The worst thing after FAL & QB in Chetau, Syria, Dessert Village, FFA, Team Obj. and Plunder. (Beatiful hipfiring and cheap kills in mid to close range while aiming) Yes ammo ending very fast but u can just using Daradevil, Ammo Award or even just pick up other guns.
- just make recoil harder to control just like with KAL7.

Thank U .

Ok.....if I don’t see fixed weapons for all to be close to equal or glitches on start of the game that you’re stuck on the wall, I don’t give a damn if these maps come in.

Maps are great, however weapons and glitches MUST be fixed now. That’s before ANY DLC should show up.

Posted by: ID-69 on 01-12-2012

Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm because I expected more. I’m not too excited for some old maps from Uncharted 2 which I already have paid beforehand. We want new maps! Being Villains all the time wasn’t even bad thing imo, Harry Flynn FTW!
I’ll be waiting for the next big patch.

Posted by: teh-gamer on 01-12-2012

Thank you Naughty Dog for the maps but sadly I will not be investing in this as you have no increased the level cap and until you do I will not invest in any DLC for Uncharted 3.

Also why haven’t you Naughty Dog fixed some of the Multiplayer issues which include;

FAL SS (rate you can jam R1 at lowered so it isn’t as eaisly abused)
Stealth animation
Random times you pick up an opponents weapon instead of thier revenge grenade
Quick Boom timer continuing after death
Spawn “trapping” on London trains
Party split up
etc

Posted by: emeraldus on 01-12-2012

As others have said, there’s going to be a fix for matchmaking? When I add someone to my party and we go into a Co-op Adventure--and even Three Team Deathmatch--my partner gets shut out of the game and on their end they think we’re both still waiting for a game match. Run and gun accuracy also needs to be cut down, or at the least the stopping power of it diminished.

When do we get Dry Docks???

Posted by: FromTheDutch on 01-12-2012

Nice I can’t wait for the DLC that hopefully will fix all off our problems. Btw when the mappack comes out can we then also download the maps per one? I don’t have a need for the remade maps namely (there already are 4 in the MP) and only would like too buy new stuff…

Posted by: geddesmond2 on 01-12-2012

Not to sound like a big moaner but if it took over a month to make a patch that only contains fixes for 3D problems that affect a very small fraction of the Uncharted community and fixes for parties getting split even though most of the people I played with have moved on well then I might as well move on myself.

I mean competitive mode has been near unplayable with all the Fal SS users unless you use a Fal yourself like that old saying, If you can’t beat them then join them and if it took over a month to fix them then how long to fix issues that matter. Jesus its the Uncharted 2 1.05 patch all over again.

At least tell us this is a prep patch for the DLC with a few small fixes and a much bigger one is coming in a week. Lol its like when ND split into 2 teams all the good devs that cared for the community were put working on the last of us and we got stuck with the people who don’t care about the game and just want the money

Posted by: DaveedT13 on 01-12-2012

Thanks for this first patch after your (well deserved) holiday ND.
I understand you need to get the game compatible with future DLC and the “group/vilains” bug was mentionned by some forumers so it is appreciated…
...but I really hope the “party/split” (player/s left in the lobby behind) will be repaired soon...and then after the Fall and QB adressed...soon because I want the game to be a success but more and more players are quitting among my “online friends"…
Please ND don’t give up on communicating with us, your fans! That’s all I’m asking!

Posted by: Nomad40 on 01-12-2012

Are these the full patch notes then? Is there a bigger patch coming before the end of the month? Some nice little adjustments and apparently some minor fixes that aren’t mentioned in the notes, but I’m just curious if there’s more coming bug, glitch and game balance fix wise after this. Thanks for the update though and keep communicating. Some more frequent on site updates rather than twitter and facebook would be nice!

Posted by: Aron_Blake on 01-12-2012

Nice work ND There are still more issues important…

What about the FAL and Quick Boom?

-> The fal ss is too powerful.. :(
-> Quick Boom increase medals cost to 15, with Bargain lv.3 and Paid Bargain only 4 !! to timer person who died few seconds after activated and use this kicback once can kill us again :(

Posted by: CrazyFoo3000 on 01-12-2012

What’s even more frustrating about this is I’ve noticed all new glitches in the last 24 hours - music cutting in and out in the lobby and during matches, player boosters and rankings not showing up on screen, character models freezing in the lobby and for the first time my character got stuck inside a wall today. But just as long as the villains aren’t the bigger team and the 5 people in the world who own 3d tvs can have some fun with that i guess it doesn’t matter…

Posted by: RAIDEN-WARB0UND on 01-12-2012

Hey guys! I must say, the FAL just owns everyone. Was playing TTD (three team deathmatch) and no one wanted to go near the guys with fals at Legacy 3, level 75 with star. The score were ridiculous. So I managed to team up with the third team in the third match to take them down… and they agreed. Overall, its a good game.

Also, the skins we bought on U2. Will we be able to use them on U3??? You should bring them in and make Co-Op adventure stories for those characters and how they tie in with the Uncharted world. eg. Maybe Cole from Infamous and Drake work together to bring down some organization????

Would be awesome if you could get other characters in the mix like Solid Snake, Raiden, Ghost but it must cost alot to use them and what not… hmmm. Anywho, my main main point is paragraph 2.

Posted by: MaryJaneParker on 01-12-2012

At first I thought the Fal ss was too powerful, but that’s because it was in relation to how the FAL handled in U2. After playing with that gun for a while in U3, I don’t think it’s as unbalanced as everyone says. I could be wrong…

I do, however think that melee is really clunky and awkward and -not sure if because of lag but - during melee attacks, people don’t die when they should’ve and vice versa. Takes me out of the game, really.

Posted by: holdendude2626 on 01-12-2012

I say to hell with this multi player, it isn’t as good as UC2 and in my personal opinion the story line was crap compared to UC and UC2. Yes ND have not gotten as far with the patch as everyone would have liked but get over it, give ND a break they are also working on The Last of Us which seems to be much better. Hopefully all you others that are disappointed because you didn’t get what you wanted in the patch see that they are busy, and I’m sure that the development of The Last of Us is more important than fixing the bugs in UC3 multi.

Posted by: balboa316 on 01-12-2012

1. We’re all fans, ND.
2. It’s nice that you’re finally throwing us a bone.
3. COME ON. Seriously. You updated U2 like every other week with SOMETHING new. Even if it was just the Lab. You did that all the way up until the announcement of this one. You haven’t done anything since U3 came out. Not even fix the bugs with the game. You missed the entire holiday season. Admit it, you’ve neglected U3 because you’re busy with YET ANOTHER zombie game, right? You really think that’s a good business move?

Posted by: aimlesscents04 on 01-12-2012

I agree that it is not a good business move. In U2 didn’t they Give us a new map for Free? Wow! Because of that, I purchased every single dlc that came out after that even though I didn’t really want some of the skins. I was so impressed by that and the fact that they really cared about keeping the game interesting, they played with us, communicated with us and fixed things that were not quite right, that I wanted to show my appreciation. Now, because of loyalty and blind faith, I drove 30 miles to make the midnight release and I have spent close to $100.00 on U3 game, handbook and fortune hunters club. But, it is not the same. It is quite disappointing. I am not just talking about this patch or any single problem. I mean the entire experience. I am not going to quit playing U3 because I did spend that much money on it. But, I won’t be blindly buying The Last of Us or U4. I doubt that I’m the only one who is unsure about Naughty Dog’s seemingly waning loyalty towards their fan-base.

Posted by: aimlesscents04 on 01-12-2012

Could someone please just acknowledge the fact that they understand that there are Two Major Party System Problems??

1. Some members of a party are placed in a match while other members of the same party are left looking at the finding players screen.
AND
2. IF your entire party gets put in a match together, some members will be placed on the heroes team and other members of the same party will be placed on the villains team.

It seems that people are referring to both of these problems as ‘parties being split-up during matchmaking’ which is misleading perhaps.
The first problem happens much more often than the second problem.
However, the second problem has happened much more often than it did before it was ‘fixed’ in the previous patch.
Thank you.

no es por ofender ni nada de eso,, pero ustedes ND, donde creas tu personaje solamente hay aspectos de gringos, o piel morena o piel asiatica,. mucha gente quiere hacer su personaje con aspecto LATINO.. eso seria muy bueno..tambn traigan denuevo al Chimera Hybrid, Nathan Hale y a los demas personajes!! otra cosa.. por que decidieron colocar los mapas mas feos del uncharted 2 en vez de aver puesto los mapas mas mejores como el TEMPLO, PLAZA, LA ALDEA, .. tambn estaria muy bien si en algun mapa del multijugador le pusieran agua y que los personajes pudieran disparar de ahi o nadar debajo del agua estaria muy original como en la historia. saludos

Posted by: Hitman3315 on 01-12-2012

ND—
My biggest concern overall with any future updates is that you don’t make it suddenly easy for people to unlock items that have previously been extremely (or near impossible) to unlock or drastically weaken parts of the game that really aren’t as bad as people say they are.

I’m mostly referring to the skeleton skins and unlockable guns. I grinded in Co-Op for weeks to get 3/4 skeletons, and while it seems that the mask for Skelzor is truly glitched (I’ve played Syria hundreds and hundreds of times and still haven’t finished that treasure set), PLEASE DO NOT affect the treasure drop rates in Co-Op Adventure so everyone in the world can easily unlock skeletons without all the hard work that me and my friends have put in.

The same goes for gun treasures. I grinded for weeks for a lot of the guns, and it felt like a huge accomplishment when I finally got them. If I saw everyone else running around with these after putting in minimal work, I’m going to be very disappointed.

Posted by: Hitman3315 on 01-12-2012

Similarly, I’m also somewhat disappointed to find that you’re changing the FAL-SS, for multiple reasons. I’ve admittedly been using the gun for a solid month now. I understand everyone’s concern over that gun being overpowered versus an M9 or G-MAL, but PLEASE do not totally kill the effectiveness of this gun.

I just grinded in Hardcore for over 3 weeks to get the best performing and best looking FAL-SS in the game (Talbot’s), and I’m going to be really disappointed if that gun is totally rendered useless because of everyone complaining about getting killed. That was me at one point, but rather than rapid hipfire with an M9, I started using the gun and got good at it, and really start liking it.

Again, I understand why people are concerned about this gun… If somebody is truly skilled with it, it can defeat just about anyone 1-on-1. If you can truly make it BALANCED (i.e. where elite FAL-SS users will be evenly matched with skilled M9 users), that’s fine. But please do not completely weaken this gun because everyone’s complaining.

My point in all of this… It’s one thing to fix flaws in the game and truly BALANCE it out, and I hope that’s what you do. But please don’t cave in to all of the complainers and WEAKEN major components of the game or nullify all of the hard work some of us have done to unlock items that are rare (not glitched).

Thanks.

Posted by: fenykh on 01-13-2012

totally on your side. read my comment further below. don’t hate the skilled shooters, if lvl 1-20 guys get set up against lvl 50+ guys it’s not an issue of the FAL it’s an issue of matchmaking. the FAL is the best long gun and it should stay that way. i mean there is a reason you only unlock it at lvl 50 right? and at least FAL-users are aiming and BOUND to aim compared to those just run-and-gunning with a KAL7, since you really cannot run and gun with a FAL.
if you hate getting killed by the FAL learn to use it yourself!

Posted by: Hitman3315 on 01-13-2012

Thanks. Glad to see I’m not alone on this one. And again, I’m not opposed to any true balancing without drastically reducing the effectiveness of any gun. If the FAL-SS fire rate was infinitesimally slower OR maybe if it took one more body shot to kill someone, I think I would be okay with that. But if it took 2 or more additional shots or if they make the ROF significantly slower, it will keep anyone from ever using that gun again. That would be a real shame, since the FAL has a great feel to it, OP or not.

I’m all for listening to the community, but I’d hate for a weapon to become obsolete because of excessive complaining. It’s really not that bad.

Good point with it being level 50+ as well.

Posted by: ScottRock79 on 01-13-2012

Good on you man. I tried farming for a day and got over it, so congratulations on powering through. As much as I want those guns and skeletons I understand your point of view and I’d be pissed off if everyone started playing with them if ND made them easier to acquire. That said, if everyone had them it would balance the game out a little more, which would appease the people who complain agains said weapons, but I don’t think this game is meant to be about balance and fairness, that’s why there are different weapons and kickbacks to choose from and achieve. Anyone who wants balance should be playing a different game.

Posted by: angelspawn77 on 01-12-2012

Been waiting for some new maps to jump back in. I haven’t played the multiplayer in a good while, probably almost 2 months. Will definitely be jumping back in when these maps hit next week. Also I hope the game isn’t as bad as the comments I’m reading regarding the MP. Last time I played the game didn’t have too many issues, it could be players are just cry babies which lots of gamers tend to be and cry about every little thing no matter how insignificant. Either way hope the complaining isn’t correct.

Posted by: KylieDog on 01-12-2012

Creepy Crawler still needs help (I know patches notes got medal adjustment backwards).

On many maps is has very limited use due to climbing on many heights and platforms, plus nades go off constantly in this game and one nade and it is over, it doesn’t last long at all either, plus if a player a small big laggy he doesn’t die from you and can run away or jump out of reach..

15 medals still too much for such limited use. Should be 9-10 or so . Any higher and cluster bomb will rule over it in 90% situations.

Posted by: ruber212 on 01-12-2012

I’m glad u guys are doing something with the quickboom as that gets annoying but plzzzzzzzzzzz, the main problem for me and many others is the FAL-SS. That gun is seriously overpowered; it’s absolutely ridiculous. Everyone’s loadout is the same, FAL-SS and quickboom so I’m glad u guys are doing something with that kickback but plz nerf the FAL as soon as possible. Also, good 2 know there’s some maps coming soon. I’ve been waiting for them.

Posted by: Au10tic on 01-12-2012

Treasure drops for skins and weapons need to be fixed, i understand that they shouldn’t be easy to obtain but when you have spent hrs and hrs with no success is just annoying! i’ve also experienced that when playing split screen either me or the second ps ID lose the dot in between before aiming or the actual aiming mechanism while pressing L1, is like you hitting the air and you just gotta wing it. Also the Fal-SS, at least increase the recoil on that gun to make it harder to use, i do use this gun only when i see a coward running around with it, to go one on one with him/her.. my default gun is the g-mal.

Posted by: CiSH_Fo_Sho on 01-12-2012

The fact that they mentioned the FAL SS issue gives me a bit of hope since they are at least admitting there is a problem with it. I am glad that they finally did an update, but I hope that it is not another two months before the next one.

By the way, add me on PSN: CiSH_Fo_Sho

Posted by: DaPrak on 01-12-2012

This is great ND. Quickboom has been fixed, now to tweak the FAL-SS. I think it is best to adjust the bullet damage for the FAL-SS. Instead of 4 body shots make it 5 (or 6). Do not tamper with the rate of fire OR the stopping power of the gun. I see good things coming soon.

Posted by: Maxamilius291 on 01-12-2012

Why do I get a feeling that the level cap will be raised as part of this DLC, not a patch… :( Anyway, step in the right direction ND, although maybe not as big of a step as we would have liked. Still, looking forward to the flashback map pack :D

Posted by: zamorpk on 01-13-2012

I use quik boom all the time, but I’m happy they balanced it a little bit. the only thing I really hate is the fall-ss, it is so overpowered. I appreciate you ND, that you are working on it right now. but things like that must be fixed before you bring out a game, I tested it, 4 shots is a kill, 3 shots in the head is a kill.... it really feels like you are playing Call of Duty with it. and because of that I dont play COD. and still as in U2, the lag is really a problem. I dont understand why lag doesnt get fixed

Posted by: TonySwim2 on 01-13-2012

Lag can only be fixed so much. They put a lot of effort into the game bring lag down to the level it’s at now, but if people continue to play with sub-optimal connections there is no full fledged fix.

Posted by: Nomad40 on 01-13-2012

!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!!??? - Creepy Crawler Kickback - now requires 17 medals to activate (previously 15 medals).

Are you SURE y’all didn’t get that backwards?

Anyway excellent news ND! Good to see you certainly have been paying attention to everything. A medal increase on the Quickboom is great but it still has a timer and can be paired with extra grenade slots and paid grenade slots. Being cheap wasn’t the only problem. Please remove the timer and give two quickboom grenades only or at the LEAST kill the timer after you die. It should NOT keep ticking and let you get another couple kills after you died.

Posted by: Nomad40 on 01-13-2012

On a bright note you’ve got my money on the DLC now as I see FAL and QB aren’t going to be slamming everyone every match. And keep working on the big patch for bugs and glitches! I’ve been posting in you’re technical section about broken map areas and character physics. See Zod5000’s MP bugs topic.

Posted by: fenykh on 01-13-2012

hmm. there is a problem concerning coop i haven’t seen here yet. say 1 teammate is already dead and a 2nd one is down, you try to revive that teammate and just as you revived him you get downed. the game then says “all players dead, __ lives left” while the just revived teammate is actually alive, running, jumping, shootin. that happened to me lots of times and i’m sure to other players too. this has to be fixed. either the whole team is down or not.
furthermore i like that qb is gettin more expensive, since everyone is usin it all the time. now maybe we’ll see some other kickbacks for a change. as to creppy crawlers: i am lvl 75 last legacy on this profile and lvl 30sth 1st legacy on another and i have maybe seen 20 times someone activating creepy crawlers. so i don’t understand the issue here. everyone is usin qb anyway.
and i hope they r not nerfing the FAL too much. it is powerful yes, but it’s also the weapon that requires the highest skill level of all long guns and i love it. if someone kills me with a FAL i’m not getting pissed ‘cause i know he has skill. i get pissed when i get run-and-gunned down by KAL-users as that weapon requires no skill at all. so don’t take it out on the skilled shooters.
at last do sth about the treasures in coop (arena and the adventure monastery). i got a treasure from every possible set from coop-arena but i got not 1 complete. and i keep getting duplicates. rather annoying. and until now i still haven’t seen any treasure for doughnut drake (nor have i seen anyone play with him).
don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome game, especially the mp. but only if you love it that much you get annoyed by those details. here’s to a great game! (that hopefully gets even greater with time)

I don’t see why everyone’s complaining about the Quick Boom and the Fal. I find my main frustrations with multiplayer are that I am still waiting for all my Beta Rewards I earned and the treasures to unlock weapons and skins are randomly dropped.

It seems everyone is excited for the DC but I’m a little weary as I remember buying the DC for U2 and never getting to play the maps as I was always put into games utilizing the original maps. I hope this time that doesn’t happen and if so, I will definitely purchase the DC.

Happend 2 times already last week: not only 1 party member gets left out but out of 3 ppl, I was playing Highrise whilst the other two were on Desert Village. Chat was of course available and we could make fun of the situation at least.

Ok you noobs, yall got what yall wanted, but make note of this. Lvl 3 Bargain with the paid booster bargain, allows me the same amount of medals to drop booms on you whining little kids. O and about the Fal? First it was the Kal, now the Fal, get ready to complain about the G-mal.

I will say that quick boom was a needed nerd and I think that this fix helps without making quick boom useless. The Fal-SS on the other hand doesn’t really need a fix in my opinion. So many people that use the Fal-SS are terrible with it and they usually are the ones that complain about it (there will always be people or just have really good aim and you can’t nerf all guns until everyone has the same aim). Why not instead of nerfing the Fal-SS, why don’t we just give a little boost to the under used and underpowered weapons like the AK-47 (like increased bullet damage). This is what I belive should be fixed and the obvious party splitting and treasure problems too.

You know Naughty Dog this patch would be fine if I knew you were going to keep patching more often. I would much rather you fix something and sent it immediately through a live update than stacking fixes up and releasing in bulk two months at a time.

Reading the forums I’m sure you’re aware of what needs to be done.

I started running a game night for Uncharted 3 to try and build interest in players who wouldn’t touch the multiplayer otherwise. It failed because the matchmaking splitting made it difficult to have a game night. With the build up of the new maps I was hoping to restart the game night as this would be a good time to bring those people back to the multiplayer. I will be in exactly the same situation as last time if little is done about the matchmaking.

Personally I mainly play short bursts of the game on my own now. When I log on the first thing I have to do every time is change my option setting because they don’t save. It takes me at least 90 seconds to connect to the server too which I believe to be Facebook’s fault. I have signed out of facebook but that option doesn’t save either. Naughty Dog I don’t make games but I find it hard to believe this problem takes a lot of resources, time and testing to fix.

Apart from a few balancing issues the core of the game is great. I think the COD elements will always make me laugh and I try not to think to much into it. Currently running the loadout which gives me two RPGS every seven/ eight medals. You can balance the Fal-SS but it wont be long before the loadout I use comes under fire. Anyway thank goodness for hardcore because it still retains a shred of the UC2 style.

Auto Aim especially in co op makes me feel like I have a special needs setting on. If I have more than one enemy in the same vicinity it’s like dragging my crosshairs through mud. It blows my mind that the testers passed this as acceptable. There’s catering for a casual audience but seriously this might as well be a kinect onrails shooters right now XD

Closing thought at the moment is that not having the final legacy has left me in limbo. Because of how the legacy system works I know there is no point upgrading anything. If you’re waiting for numbers to drop or more people to reach the third legacy before patching it in then that’s a pretty poor strategy.

I think the multiplayer I bought came out the oven to quickly. Customization and custom playlist options were definitely put on the back burner. As far as I’m concerned those features don’t exist and I just want what has been released to be refined. Get a priority list and patch something every two/four weeks to show you’re actually doing something. It would make up for the poor communication that has lead to a continuous guessing game from the community, due to them being clueless to whether you have registered their concerns or not.

Can’t believe I forgot this.

Triangle being the button for picking up a weapon, using a chest, open/close doors on airstrip and throwing back a nade is awful. Why not make it square to throw back a nade or at least make square an option in the settings menu? Anything but triangle FFS.
