    Is Death Match only with teams?

    If there were a Lone Wolves type of option, I'd totally be down for that.

    Maybe it'll be like Uncharted 1 and they'll let the stores sell it on Thursday.

    I'd be tempted to get it, but the TRU deal is so close!

    Mighty Ape (formerly GPStore, before they decided to stupid their name up) has it scheduled for the 15th of October, so that'll probably be when NZ/Aus get it.

    Yeah it's the 15th for us at EB as well so that seems a good bet.

    Okay, question two:

    Why did you automatically associate that with Ikaruga when many games before and after have done it?

    I dunno, Ikaruga is the one game I own that has done that that I can remember. I also like using it as an example because of the frothing thing.

    Quotes from reviews are pretty common on box art and advertising these days. It's great to take something like '...the best...' out of context and put it on a game box to get the general public excited.

    yeah i know, but i'm secretly hoping that the reason jb have left their site without a date is that they intend to break the street date. which they have done in the past

    they're also selling a limited edition for $99

    note to americans: that is a pretty good deal

    Because I like taking pictures, here are some shots from mine, Mario and Sugnar's game last night (as well as my friend ANdydarko and some other guy who may be from here and was pretty cool). It should be mentioned that Mario_G and this other dude were outnumbered, and also for every picture here where I kill him, he did it at least twice over to me:

    Action shot! All five of us in the match (almost) in the frame. Mario_G on the left, Sugnar (I am spelling that right aren't I?) on the far right, me hopping a wall and my friend Andydarko hiding in the house shooting:

    Uncharted2_AmongThieves_10.jpg

    Mario falls to the might of my awesomely (not lucky at all) grenade throw:

    Uncharted2_AmongThieves_11.jpg

    Sugnar and I out number Mario and pick on him by throwing grenades:

    Uncharted2_AmongThieves_9.jpg?t=1254811313

    Random dude dies, Mario hides and I pull an awesome leaping air-guitar pose:

    Uncharted2_AmongThieves_8.jpg?t=1254811372

    And finally, Mario and I play ring-a-ring-a-roses and chase each other around a pillar:

    th_Uncharted2_AmongThieves_14.jpg
    th_Uncharted2_AmongThieves_15.jpg

    Until Sugnar ruins our fun and puts Mario down :)

    Anyone else got any decent ones? I've tried to keep the resolution down (that and photobucket resamples them anyway) so as not to fuck over anyone with a slow connection.

    haha, these tools i were playing with spent the whole village - plunder match going 'when we get to four, don't put it in. don't put it in. you know the plan? don't put it in. we can play for kills and get like 20,000. we got like 20,000 last time. okay, this is the last one. take it to the house but don't put it in, right? we can get like 20,000. oh shit! i got too close! i put it in!'

    i laughed very hard but i don't know if my mic is working

    also someone in that game was very convinced that uncharted 2 "had already been awarded goty, after the beta"

    I think he was trying to hit me whereas I was just seeing how long it could go on for and was imaging Yakety Sax playing in the background.

    Also I kept giggling because it looked like your character was barking. I'd be walking by you and suddenly I'd see the microphone sign above your head and hear your dog.

    Huh. This isn't in the beta is it? So I'm guessing this will really be just Horde mode without worrying about anything else? That'll be pretty fun, since I really dig the combat.

    How are people finding objective modes? I mainly been sticking to deathmatch since I don't want to bother with mic less people who don't know how to play in teams...is this what you guys are finding?

    whoo, just won a super close match on Temple deathmatch standard. 50-49. But 23 of the kills on my team, and only 14 deaths. (1.5K/D ratio isnt bad). 2nd place on my team had 8 kills D: the enemy team was more blanced though with 16,14,and 13 kills for their top 3. (23,8,7 for mine). I actually thought we were going to loose, but one guy on our team killed the other guy a fraction of a second faster :D

    I pretty much suck at the game (as I do with most multiplayer shooty type games). That said it always goes the same way. I find I'm ok at the start of a games life but I just don't have the time to put in and the population soon get considerably better than me.

    For example, I played a sniper match with Willeth the other day (and I was gutted it didn't record as there were some classic moments in it) and I was dreading it. Traditionally in sniper matches, in other games, I'm hopeless but this round I did fairly well, I wasn't just cannon fodder. Give it another month with the game and people will have played it so much that I'll be slaughtered as soon as I move.

    Nah, I've had people drop and it's recorded fine. I think it's if it finds a better host. I believe you were hosting that game and it stopped the game 20 seconds in and said "Re-negotiating host" or "optimising host" or something along those lines and then the game started again. I've got the 24 seconds of the first game but not the actual match when we all re-connected.

    I probably won't be on tonight. Have to do couply stuff. :(
