SA is the only thing wrong with Uncharted 2 imho

Well, I agree that it's bad, but the matchmaking system is arguably just as horrendous because of how unbalanced it is.

Of course, when one is playing in a full party, it's harder to notice the crappy matchmaking.

No game is perfect, but Naughty Dog has the curtosy to listen to the advise of its players and build on the constructive-criticism

ive never had a problem with the matchmaking system granted some days it takes a while to get a match but im in no hurry

Great idea Leo & Raist!

I would also like to request more multiplayer tutorials.
Like, basic stuff for newer players, but also more advanced things for the higher level guys.
I am aware of the fact that some people have their own styles when playing but I'm sure that if everyone contributed we'll all benefit from it.

For instance - when I started out and joined 6th, I sucked so bad at this (still suck, but not so bad).
Then, I started to pick things up;

Raist tip on aiming around corners and always being prepared. His nade & accuracy tutorial helped ALOT aswell.

Leo showing me how awesome the 92FS can be if placed in the right hands

Endlo demonstrating the most useful (for me) advice, which was to stay away from high traffic area every now and then and pick up the pieces with the FAL.


I now I've forgot to mention alot more, but I hope you get my point. Sure, you get better the more you play, but we'll get there faster by helping eachother.

Raist map overviews are great at showing camping spots, weapons spawns etc but Im in the searching for more GAMEPLAY help, as to how OTHERS play at a certain level.
I know how to deal with levels up to 51-52, but when facing higher levels I tend to run around and act impulsive, I have no gameplan


And regarding the SA subject - Yeah, I've noticed a slight increase in SA users aswell, thats why I mostly will rock Evasion/Half-Loaded.

A Sixth Nation Uncharted 2 guide would be great, we've got some uber-beast players here in our little community and hints and tips from them would, I'm sure, help out anyone's game.

I'm noticing the matchmaking a lot more lately, I think ND have definitely tweaked it with 1.08, almost every match now I'm the only 40 among a room of Numerals. (Not for long... Only about $60,000 to go.)

Managed to get myself another perfect this morning, along with only my second ever 'Fury'... I went straight to the SAS spawn on Plaza rather than going for the Hammer, seemed to make all the difference in the world as regards to the amount of enemies I met each time. Just goes to show, it's not always huge changes needed in your gameplay to make a difference, sometimes just choosing a different way to start a map can bump you out of a rut and get your k/d growing again.

I wish I had some specific tactic to impart upon the wee ones, but I just... kinda do everything.

LoL, you assumed I was referring to you then?

You must have some set routes on certain maps though, buddy , no?

Just a small req;

Can someone upload another game of mine, it's been a while since my previous and I'm in desperate needs of help
Seriously though, it feels as if I have reached my peak, I have no idea what to work on.

Dr Newbie, I need to make an appointment with you!

Send it through, bud... Make it one where you don't win this time though, you make newbies feel inadequate.

I was wondering about postingn there too. Like what type of gameplay do we put in. Like a fury game, or a game where we get only like 2 kills? Or should we post a game with an 'average' personal score, such as 11-8 in a deathmatch.

It's also very hard to only send ONE since you alter your style according to the map.

For instance, I will mainly sit back at Village near the Villains spawn and FAL quite a bit.

At Ice Cave, I'll play my cards more aggressive since there really isn't a good "camp" spot.


This is why I requested the good guys (Vash, Endlo, Raist etc) to help out a lil bit, like how THEY usually play those maps, key things like how the enemy mostly will play (anticipation) and how they move, what to keep in mind.


Also, I agree with Charlitos, if I post a good game I won't get that much help on my flaws. On the other hand, if I post a terrible game it might not represent how I usually play.

Well, the idea of the thread is to help people get better with their gaming. So you want a video playthrough of you doing badly at the game, not because of lag or the other party being full of X's, but because you failed in some way and would like to know what it was.

Your general playstyle is made up of game-specifics, tactics and routes on different maps etc... Once you get a handle on some of those then your playstyle will change, it has to.

I'd love to be more active on the forum, and especially the Game Surgery thread, but not having a keyboard makes longer and more detailed posts a serious pain.

Maybe I'll head up to the library or something, and do a few detailed posts. My playstyle is still sorting itself out again, but I'm pretty happy with my FAL most of the time.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, Leo.
I just meant that I might have a bad game because of not focusing, although I am very much aware of what I did wrong.
A match like that serves no purpose of posting since I already know what went wrong.

Although you are correct that one should preferably post a bad game rather than a good one.
The key is to post a game where you feel like you couldn't have done anyting differently...which is hard seeing we can all be wise about it after the game

I'll try to play until I get a game where I sincerely felt I've done my best, but it just wasn't good enough.

So, the All-Shotgun Lab is drawing near.

Am I the only person that sees it not being nearly as awesome as ND thinks it will be? Because unless a lot of people are good at sneaking, 'most every encounter will probably just end in a double kill.

Unless one of the options is the SAS-12, in which case cross-map action isn't entirely implausible.

It will be Moss-12s and Pistoles.

I'm excited, because it'll be rediculous and chaotic. Just running around with the shotties is going to be fun.

All shotties and pistoles will be fun for sure. Can't complain about it being pussy because....THATS THE POINT hehe. So, in that case it would be good lulz I'm sure. Too bad I'll be missing this one as well. Up at camp

For the man who speaks up against camping, you seem to do a lot

For the time I play on the weekend, I will strive to snipe with a shotty. Down the Irons with Scoped In. I am determined to snipe with the shotty!

If I might make a suggestion:

Pistole with Sure Shot might be more accurate, since the Pistole is more accurate and has better range than the Moss-12 by default (I think).

What??!!!! A Match with just shotties and pistoles That's like my worst nightmare come true

My town carnival is this weekend I'll have to choose...buck shots to the face, or funnel cake and rollercoasters. Hhmmmm...

Dont forget the girls

No, forget them. Girls only want you for your funnel cake. They're terrible people.

I find it very amusing that when I actually give it a go to get the platinum and fight my way through Hard mode, I recieve NO trophy for it, and cannot play Crushing mode.
