Uncharted 2 Spawn Point Updates Coming This Week

"We've spent the last several weeks since the previous spawn updates working on and testing a comprehensive new spawning system that we hope will make a marked improvement in preventing unfair spawns-or surprisingly opportunistic spawns, depending on which side you're on. We're eagerly waiting to see how the system works when thoroughly strained by real-world match conditions." - Naughty Dog

Naughty Dog updated the page to tell us the spawn point changes will go live with update 1.07, which hits us before April 22nd.

How about giving back the non-COD formula of gameplay?

It's not too hard to have a crushing playlist for those that want it but why did you have to remove the original gameplay?

electricshadow5863d ago

I was about to say that. Oh good, they kept the crappy health "update" unchanged. I don't even play this game anymore and I won't until they change it. Seriously, just add a "crushing" mode and a regular mode. But, thanks ND for appealing to people who whine about how it's too hard to get a kill. I remember having the FAL was actually a good thing. With the 15% required more time between the three round burst, it's useless against the the AK-47. You can easily kill someone with the AK-47 within two seconds.

The Time Reaper5862d ago (Edited 5862d ago )

Agreed. All they had to change from 1.04 was the TIME it took to toss a nade, to lessen cheapness. Now the gameplay is just a weak campfest. My FAVORITE online title, ruined.

I'm so utterly sick of pandering to casuals because "everyone deserves a kill."

Storm235863d ago

So happy they are updating the spawn points. It is so frustrating to be on a good run and have someone spawn right behind you and kill you. Not cool. Let's hope this works because I love this game.

Tdmd5863d ago

Sorry for the dumb question guys, but what has changed in relation to the health? Whats the issue here or the COD formula of gameplay? I'm only asking 'cuse I've never played any COD (I dislike FPS games) and I'm new to Uncharted 2 online, so I dont have any clue of what are everyone complaing about. :|

electricshadow5863d ago

They made it to cater to the casual crowd. Before, it took skill to get a kill, now, they decreased the health for each character so much that it doesn't take any skill to get a kill anymore. It's all about who sees who first. It's such a mess.

-Alpha5862d ago

If you are new you wont notice is at much but players who've been playing since the beginning have pretty much been sold down the river for a more casual crowd.

The gameplay of covering, climbing, etc. is ruined too. Nobody wants to traverse the landscape because its much easier to get shot down.

Too busy to play UC2 these days but a lot of people are upset with it. As great as ND is they are doing poorly handling what the fans want.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

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.

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo547d ago

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.

-Foxtrot547d ago

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.

Inverno547d ago

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.

gold_drake547d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77547d ago

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.

RaidenBlack547d ago (Edited 547d ago )

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 ...

RaiderNation547d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72547d ago

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.
