    If I can get over a 1 it's a good night for me. That's why I tend to stick to arena.

    Well. The thing I'm good at is Deathmatch. I love it when I do something completely awesome without really meaning to. For instance, I'm on Plaza, and our team rushes at each other, it turns out. I'm alone against 4 of the other team. I shoot one, he goes into cover, I whip around, blat him, grab his grnade launcher, and kill the other three. At the same time. It was wicked. And two of the people I killed had mics, so I sat and listened to them cuss at me until I respawned. It was even better because a. they were both little kids. And b. they both sucked so I killed them again and again and again. finished off with a nice 19:7 K/D. I was pleased. :3

    Lame. I was hoping to get to rank 40 last night, but the cash weekend must have stopped at 12am EST. Still, 21 to 37 ain't bad for 3 days.

    picked this up again after months of not playing, but i'm still working on the single player. i made an attempt at the online awhile back but was really bad, are there any good tutorials about what to do online, or do you just gotta practice until your aren't constantly losing with a negative K:D?

    It's that time again! It's Double Cash weekend!
    The folks at Naughty Dog are rolling out an update to the online play for 2009’s Game of the Year, Uncharted 2. “The Lab” is a new type of playlist that will be active every other weekend, focusing on a singular gamplay type with unique challenges.

    The Lab rolls out with it’s first game type, here’s how it was announced on the Official PlayStation Blog:
    2 vs. 2 Team Deathmatch
    Grab a partner for this small- to medium-size map mow-down. You’ve got 15 minutes to rack up 25 kills, or more than the other team, to prove your small-team superiority. I’m going to recommend now that you’re going to want pick a reliable teammate you want to play with over the weekend…

    In honour of the launch of The Lab it’s Double Cash weekend for Uncharted 2, with the cash cap per map raised to $150,000. Get out there and ring up some levels!

    I was giong to post this when I saw it last week, but I couldn't even find this thread.

    But yeah, it's basically better to pretend it doesn't exist. Look at it this way - people without a PS3 can get their Uncharted fix like this. People with a PS3 can just play the far superior game.

    I always just use google to find threads. Type "penny arcade forum" and then the name of the game, and the thread almost always comes up.

    Well, that's...something. Let's have a bit of good news, yeah? Uncharted 2 is celebrating Hanukkah!
    The great thing about December is that is has a ton of holidays and if there’s anything we love at Naughty Dog, it’s holidays – because they give us reason to do cool things for our UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer community.

    Hanukkah just started yesterday and will run through sundown on Thursday, December 9, this year. We were talking about running Double Cash during the full eight days, but one of our game designers did us one better. He suggested we run a progressive multiplier for each day of Hanukkah.

    We’ve started observing the Hanukkah holiday on Wednesday, December 1, with 1x cash. At around 10:30 AM PST on Thursday, December 2, we will kick up the bonus to 2x. Each subsequent day the multiplier will go up by one at roughly the same time.

    Day one is only 1x cash, but day two (Thursday, December 2) is 2x cash, day three (Friday, December 3) is 3x cash and so on, ending with a never before seen 8x cash on the last day of Hanukkah!

    Our progressive cash multiplier event will end at around sundown – just before 5:00 PM PST on Thursday, December 9.

    So go play some MP to forget about the movie!

    I have no idea why an Uncharted movie is necessary. Uncharted is pretty much "Indiana Jones - The Game". So the Uncharted movie will end up being Indiana Jones the Movie of the Video Game of the Movie.

    Except it's not

    It's gonna be about artifact trafficking in New York City or some shit

    Uncharted is one of those games like Max Payne where adapting it into a movie is the easiest fucking thing in the world and they still manage to fuck it up somehow

    It almost seemed like they were trying to flesh out a back-story and decided to just keep going with the wild tangent they created and screw the source material. Or they could just be drooling morons that don't know a good story when it's staring them in the face.

    Actually, more often it's a script somebody's already written, and then they stick the name of an existing character or franchise onto it to gain some brand recognition.

    It's been a few months since I played but I felt like I held my own then. Of course many many wasted hours in MAG improving my accuracy probably has a lot to do with that. I do still prefer the co-op missions over TDM.

    I've been playing recently because of the crazy multiplyer that's going on. 150k plus per coop game. Getting into competive games has been hard. Not as many players as there used to be I guess.

    Just played some awesome matches with Kaseius on this. We did have a little problem with keeping players and then getting players. Our first match, two people dropped out during, and the next match, we ended up just straight four vs. four. Then two more people dropped and it just went to three vs. three for the third match instead of picking people up along the way. In the last match, one of the guys on my team dropped so it turned into three vs. two. Dunno if people are just quitting, or if connections are kind of bad, but I also don't know why it wasn't, like, -finding- people.

    Still, it was crazy fun, and I can't believe how much I've missed this game.
