ChronoJoe presents a survival guide with tips and tricks for new players to Uncharted 2's multiplayer component.
In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.
I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.
Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.
A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.
Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.
Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.
It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.
Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...
I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,

I usually don't like random stuff like this getting approved but this was a clearly strong effort. Unfortunately I can't approve anyway lol.
UC2's multiplayer is great. Unlike certain others (whose name need not to be mentioned) Naughty Dog has devoted their time into multiplayer.
No, not DLC. Even though they had one piece, but don't worry that was free!
The MP is not perfect but it can be better with the patches and fixes that will surely keep coming down the line
The issues with the MP actually don't revolve around the gameplay mechanics too much (unlike a certain other game that need not be mentioned).
The main issue is people quitting half way out and the inability for people to join a game in progress. Then there is the punishment system which is a little unfair. I mean seriously, don't punish us for your faulty setup. Allowing mid-game joins will totally fix the issue.
I really also want a pre-game lobby like in CoD. The main problem was that I would want to play games with the same group of people but you had to find another game or "party up".
Thankfully they added a "rematch" option. All they need now is to make a lobby that allows mid-game joins, etc.
Really, the MP is great overall. It has a healthy amount of players (9000-15000) and its great fun.
By the way, Plunder is the best variation of CTF I have ever played.
