We’re listening…
The adjustments in Title Update 1.05 have been live in the multiplayer modes now for a week and we’ve been following what you’ve been saying very closely.
By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Tuesday February 23 2010

It’s been a week since we released Title Update 1.05 to our multiplayer community. Without a doubt, this has been our most talked about update to multiplayer to date and for good reason – there were a lot of additions and adjustments we made and not all of them were received well by everyone. This is something we’ve seen from your comments on our blog, on Facebook, in various forums, and via Twitter.
Our game designers have been discussing some further adjustments to what we introduced with Title Update 1.05; some of those we’ve been trying out during our daily playtesting sessions. We don’t have anything we can share yet, however we’ll be forthcoming as to the “what” and “when” regarding any future adjustments so you know what to expect.
We value our multiplayer community and your feedback quite a bit. As Richard mentioned during his session at the D.I.C.E. Summit last week, collaboration and iteration is an integral part of our development process. Including the voice of our community as part of this process is important to us as we continue supporting the multiplayer modes to UNCHARTED 2.
We’re listening.

I dont like the new update. Its like ND wants everyone to camp. THEY need to make it its own playlist and change it to normal. That would be fair since this is not the game that 3 million people bought.
I can still do good but it bothers me that I have to change how I PLAY after 5 months and buying it at midnight to play the multiplayer. Mainly the fact is that they want me to stop and camp a little bit bothers me.
THE ENTIRE GAME, that won all these awards and got alot of people to buy for the multiplayer, WAS DESIGNED around the original amount of health.
For example, player movement speed, climbing speed, gernade damage radius, weapon locations, boosters, firing speed, the lag that has bullets hit you when your behind a wall and the LEVELS THEMSELVS all messed up by changing the health/weapon damage.
I voted for a seperate playlist because I was worried they would cchange WAY more than what was done on the “Experimental weekend.”
ALSO, AUTO SHOULDER SWITCH NEEDS TO GO. AT LEAST ENABLE US TO TURN IT OFF. Honestly, how can anyone of the talented people at ND think that was a good idea, especially after 5 months.

Don’t exaggerate, it still takes some time to shoot someone down, you have time to take cover.
And playing carefully is not the same as camping, you can move around, only be more careful and think things through.

You really don’t know what you’re talking about pal. Judging by your stats you wouldn’t know proper strategy even if you claim you did. People keep continuing to say it takes strategy! It takes strategy! Those people don’t know what they’re talking about and the people responsible for testing and tweaking this game didn’t know what they we’re doing, it feels like they did this simply to make this game more inviting for the less-skilled (the general mass). What strategy is there when you can barely move any short distance before being picked off by a sniper. And if you do decided to move slowly and cautiously, you still get picked off because the damn game spawns people right in your blind side. There is absolutely no strategy now with these updates because scrubs can get more kills not because they are more skillful or devise better tactics, they camp and hide. It’s all now a matter of being at the right place at the right time. Before these updates, you would kill someone and immediately that would alert your enemy of your presence. Well think of it now, with less health what are the chances you can even get away after a kill. All it is now is a big mess of mindless kills. There is almost no time to take cover especially when your enemy has zeroed you in and you don’t know initially where it’s coming from. Believe me, you’ll get killed pretty quickly. Try actually playing the game before you mouth off stuff you don’t even know. I’m not some scrub like you who pretends he knows how to play this game. You clearly do not.

i have been playing uncharted since the beta and one thing i have big time noticed is the camping.this is not COD.haft of my freinds dont even play anymore b/c the game has changed so much.any many more will follow b/c the game has lost its fun.i play this game to run around and use skill and theres no skill in getting shot once by the faL (NOT A HEAD SHOT) a F&*^%$g foot shot.what the hell is that how r u supposed to get away from that.just change the health back to normal and make the run and gunning harder to kill players by ,and put less ammo in the hammer keep the sniper the way it is.and change little things b/c i can see alot of naughty dogs players taking there game back b/c the game has lost its fun

Am I really the only one who notices this!! Are you all freaking zombies or something. Love the game, but the issues above are totally killing the multiplayer. The fact that so few people are acknowledging this really sucks. Translation=naughty dog will do nothing to fix. Dont you people want these issues addressed???
Log in to reply to this commentPosted by: xCaptainAmazing on 02-24-2010
I love the update. run and gun was so silly, and the fact that you actually have to use cover now is great. I would agree on balancing the sniper rifle though. It should probably still need two shots.
Fact is that it’s much better now since the games don’t take forever to finish. Despite what people are saying about camping (which is an issue regardless of health amount), the games do seem to move with a much better pace

run and gunning is silly ,but the health being the way is now is making ppl camp more and making ppl leave more too.which really sucks for the player left all alone against a team of high badges how is that fair .your left for dead,b/c the game has changed so much.example when i first started playing the game and my team left.i had a chance to come back somewhat. now u have a whole squad coming at.the health the way it was made the game so u could have a chance if things turned out that way its not COD its not suppost to be one shot kill its uncharted.its a game not real life ,leave the real life shooter games to COD,MAG,or any other game of its kind

Totally agree, i love this game now the update is in place.....the only people who complain are the level up lovers. Its not a camp fest, its more if your acurate you can get kills in. Simple.
ND please DO NOT CHANGE IT BACK...BUT PLEASE CHANGE THE AUTO SWITCH SHOUDLER THINGY-MA-JIG!

This update just made the whole game much more better. and plus for all of you level up lovers. the point of the game is for you to have skill patience and stragety. please dont change the uupdate Naughty Dog.

Please elaborate what skill is required with this update. Even before this update, you could simply hide and camp and if you we’re good enough you could still get kills. However, with this update, it’s become a camper’s delight. The people who do not like this update aren’t necessarily going around running and gunning. I sure as hell didn’t. I took moved around cautiously but with this update, I’m better off standing in one spot with my back against a wall because people want to hide/camp because they know it’s easy now to kill people with the Fal or Sniper. You call that skill? The one’s who enjoy that are the ones who couldn’t get kills in the first place. But now all of the sudden they are better strategists? Please. I’m almost sure you were frustrated because it was too hard for you to get kills. Now with this update, you can hide in your comfort zone without sticking your neck out to get your kills. That’s not skill buddy and Naughty Dog overlooked the fact that it makes the gameplay unbalanced when one tactic is favorable over any other.

well i love update1.05,but there is about half who like it and half who don’t, why don’t have a health that meets in the middle of the new and old health try 80%, then there’s the best of both worlds, and then you don’t have to spend wasting time fixing a problem that doesn’t really need to be fixed, and more time on making more maps, yes there are new maps coming tomorrow, but there are many maps that could be used for multiplayer mode from uncharted 2 campain, like the train yard, Borneo jungle set,with the old ships in the middle and that could also be a co-op objective set, going through the jungle, then there’s so many maps on uncharted drake’s fortune, like the tanker on the final chapter, and the treasure room, and have the set piece, (when something happens on the multipalyer maps), have the treasure being lifted from the middle of the map.

All this update does is encourage camping and sniping with the FAL - BORING! Not a game of skill at all; the games just take an interminably long time and the game is now just tedious. I’m a level 60 and can snipe as well as anyone - in fact my ratio has gone up since the update (if you can’t beat em, join em!); it’s just not as good an online game as it was before.

The didnt listen to me and the other half of people who said thed didnt like it or that it should be its own playslit(what I voted for).
Also not many people voted. Changing any game this much 5 months after release is going to piss people off. Especially that the changes they made were more drastic then the changes we voted on.

This update is awsome. althought this is my first time trying it because i was beating another game (MCLA) i still thinkthis new update is kool. now you really have to fight to stay alive, also its more realistic now since with less shots you die now. New update rocks!!

1.05 is Fine. The game was getting too easy and predictable before. I wish they would allow more features in Survival and Gold Rush like Cinema review, Boosters and Skins.

@Everyone:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=uncharteddf&thread;.id=114683&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
Read this post and you’ll see that what Naughty Dog changed in terms of weapon damage was decreasing the number of bullets required for a kill by 1(except for the micro 9mm, the 92fs 9mm, and the sniper). In most cases, that is a percentage decrease of 12-18%.
In fact, the 1.05 update effectively reduces the health to a point in between the normal health (100%) and the crushing health (65%). Other than that, they’ve removed the differentiation between leg damage and body damage, they’re now the same thing (shooting the leg = shooting the body).
Therefore, the effective health is now somewhere like 75-80% of the normal pre-update health, which isn’t the monumental difference many of you are making it out to be.
The big difference is in effective strategies for playing the game pre- and post-update. You can’t run-n-gun like Rambo anymore and expect to hold a K/D ratio at or above 1.0 ... you certainly don’t have to camp, but you have to be much more strategical about your movements around the map and at mid-far range, aiming is now more crucial than ever because 1 bullet makes a larger difference than before.
Also, now the sniper should be treated as a power weapon much like the RPG and Hammer, which is similar to many other online shooters. Honestly, it was quite useless and severely underused before the update. I prefered any rifle to the Sniper, even an AK. While ND admittedly may have gone a little too far with the sniper, it doesn’t take much time to get used to.
In two sittings of playing deathmatch after the update, I adapted to the new dynamic of the game and have been doing much better than before. I averaged a K/D of 1.5 before the update (~8500 kills, level 50), and now my K/D is probably around 2.0 since the update. I play deathmatch almost exclusively, so my numbers are from games exclusively focused on maximizing kills and minimizing deaths as opposed to objective or plunder games.
When I first played the beta a while back, I had to start from scratch to develop a strategy to dominate the game. Since the patch, I’ve done the same thing, but this time, the strategy is paying off more dramatically than before. I, for one, love the new challenge and support any further modifications Naughty Dog has in mind.
I love you guys! =)

sounds like to me that people don’t like to have to actually hide now when they get shot cause I wouldn’t even get on and play mp before cause you got run over so bad by whoever picked up the shotgun first or the m23 now people actually have a fighting chance and the bullys don’t like it ha ha ha way to go ND!!! keep it up

Update is great!
Log in to reply to this commentOnly got Uncharted 2 a month ago, but I’m loving it! I thought you guys did fantastic with the Jak and Daxter series, but the Uncharted games are just amazing!
Think that the Moss should get a little tweak though, someone always comes up behind me and kills me in one hit.

I’m with you 100 percent man. I couldn’t agree more. You hit the nail right on the head. This game was rockin before 1.05. Now i die with a fal before i can even take cover. There are snipers everywhere now and i cant even step in an open field without dying. please change it back naughty dog
