Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - (use spoiler tags please)

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I just got through the article and they mention that they will be giving away beta codes closer to when the beta goes live, so I'm guessing plenty of sites will be giving some codes away. How many they will have is the big question since there are two alternate ways that will probably be the easiest ways to get a code.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking about that also, because if many sites are giving away beta codes, maybe I'll try to get a hold of the inFAMOUS LE instead.

That 5-minute long HD video is just absolutely mind blowing. There is no game on any platform on earth that can compete with Uncharted 2. I seriously think it is the best new IP of this gen by a mile. And im one of the biggest Gears of War fans out there.
 
It's nuts! I had to stop watching 20 seconds in because I don't want to spoil everything. Damn, Naughty Dog you had me at Uncharted 2! lol.
 
Really, really interesting in Uncharted 2, it looks to have the complete package.

Quality campaign with the same good writing and acting from Uncharted 1. New multiplayer versus using the tried and tested Gears combat style but with Uncharted's extra mobility. 3 Player co-op though a separate campaign with a story that's also replayable via AI director. What's not to love?

Beta details:
When you boot up the beta you’ll find we’ve included 2 playlists for you to try out: co-op and competitive. If you’ve got friends, we’ve made it easy to play together – just hit the triangle button to see your PSN friends list and you can send them an invite, join their party, or just check out their profile. Keep in mind that for the beta, the party size is limited to 5 for competitive and 3 for co-op!
Let’s give you a quick rundown of our two playlists so you can be ready day one…



The competitive playlists contains 2 maps, with 2 game types available on each: Deathmatch and Plunder. Deathmatch is pretty similar to what you’ve come to expect out of “team deathmatch” in other games. Plunder is Naughty Dog’s take on “capture the flag.” At the start of a round, we’ve placed a treasure in a neutral location on the map and the first team to bring it back to their capture chest scores a point – three points to win. What takes this mode into the UNCHARTED universe? Easy; you can now throw the treasure quite a ways in any direction – in some cases, you’ll HAVE to if you want to score a point.

The biggest thing to keep in mind while playing in competitive matches is to keep thinking three dimensionally. There are many, many different places to climb, hide, and shoot from above ground level. The best advice I can give: remember to look up. And keep moving – if you stay in one place too long, you are likely to have your neck snapped from behind or even be pulled off the ledge you are perched on!



As for the cooperative playlist, we’ve put in a snippet of one of our co-op experiences. Our co-op setups are really rocking right now with three people playing as Drake, Sully, and Chloe as they fight their way through a war-torn city to recover a treasure worth a fortune. In this mode, teamwork is everything and running off alone is a sure way to get killed. Thankfully, in most cases – except for, say, being blown up —you’re not out of the game. If you’ve been downed, you can be revived by one of the other players before your timer runs out! If everyone wipes, you start at the last checkpoint you passed, but be careful, if everyone wipes three times the match is over and you have to start over again. Oh, and keep an eye out on the combo meter on the upper right of the screen. Keep your combo meter increasing by getting kills, picking up treasures or completing objectives and you’ll get a multiplier to the points and cash you’re accumulating. Enemy kills are worth different point amounts depending on what gun you used, so experiment to get the best results. I’ll give you a hint, pistols are awesome.



A quick note on your rank and the Profile screen. You are ranked on the total amount of online cash you have earned. This includes both the co-op and competitive modes, so you can rank up either way. In competitive, you earn cash for defeating enemies, and earning medals. In co-op, you earn cash for your point score and by earning medals. You can see your rank both next to your name in the lobby and scoreboard, as well as in the Profile screen. In the Profile screen you can see your rank and how far until the next level, you can select Boosters to give yourself a leg up in competitive multiplayer, and select your player skins for competitive multiplayer. Remember to select your boosters before playing competitive multiplayer, and be aware that boosters do not apply in the co-op playlist.

Before I go, I want to let you know that we are asking all of you for your help. To make this the best game it can possibly be, we want to hear from you. Comments, concerns, things you like, things you hate, we want to hear it all. Keep an eye on the “message of the day screen” in our beta to find out where to leave us feedback and for dates and times you can play with the Dogs!

i agre uncharted was the first game i ever played that really looked and played next gen. never would have expected they would have added m to it but it fits. mp in that game will become an addiction.
 
I wonder when on the 3rd this will start. Would be awesome if it released at midnight since i'd be walking in the door from work just a bit before that.

Excited for the MP beta and really looking forward to the real thing as Uncharted was and still is my favorite PS3 game.
 
I might as well be the first beggar, since someone has to start it up. An extra code would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully everyone shares codes like we did with the little big planet beta.
 
If anyone is willing to gameshare the beta, I'd greatly appreciate it. I bought a copy of InFAMOUS from Spun.com and it didn't include the beta
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Oh shit. The new story trailer for Uncharted 2 that they showed on GameSpot Live is awesome.
Elena!

Elena!
back in action!:drool::hot::hot:
 
Godammit, I'm trying so hard not to spoilerize too much of the game for myself, but ah well fuck it. I'm going to get it regardless anyways. :/
 
yeah I just put in my GAP code and started the download a few minutes ago. Cant wait to try this out tonight, at least for a little while.
