ah, that. Yea I agree. Though if you had said you were talking about the "I shot him 1st I should get the kill" thing I'd of agreed with that too

My biggest problem with what the customization system will probably end up being like is that it's a really horrible practice in game design to give only high-level players access to good options.

So they're either going to have to:

-Fix their matchmaking, including the low-level party leader thing (and whether or not they do anything else, this needs to happen anyway)
-Make all weapon mods available for everyone from the start (my personal preference)
-Make weapon mods practically worthless so as to not unbalance the game (my least-preferred option)

But more gun ski11z should = win right?? (this no psn is making me strange, I'm talking in 1337 speak more often, and I kinda wanna play BO)

All they need to do is what brink is doing/going to do, and that is that the weapon mods dont just give you positive things, they also have negatives, so having a lot of weapon mods doesnt give you a clear advantage, it just lets you be more tactical

Whoa, being attacked ...

What I meant was I didn't want more experienced players to have advantage over new but talented players.

Exactly, so weapon mods have categories in which they excel, but also categories in which they aren't as good. so they sometimes help you but sometimes challenge you.

What I also forgot to mention was the "teleportation". Now that's just unfair. As soon as you're about to die you teleport out of harm's way?

Ok, enough of negativity. Uncharted TV, high-fiving teammates, spawning by your buddy... Uncharted 3 is packing some pretty cool things too!

This.

I would love the ability to give props to enemy players. When someone gets me with a nice kill, I think it would be cool to be able to show respect or give props for a sweet kill. I know I'd use it for sure.

That's because you don't really understand that they killed you. Dude, they killed you, you have to rage and insult the fiber of their existence. You need to invoke any higher power that might exist to give you a chance to strangle them no high five them. I can imagine this feature getting very little use.

you get xp and ammo bonuses for doing taunts over dead enemies

I've played with a lot of good guys/girls that I've trade compliments with over the mic. Many times I'll call out "nice kill" or something like that if I think someone did well to get me. I know I'm not the only one like that.
Sure it may not be used as much as a taunt option, but at least having an option of showing goodwill during competition would be a cool and innovative idea that I think could eventually grow.

Im like that too, but this is not what the feature is for. the high five thing is for when you and your buddy work together to take out the same guy, not for an opponent getting a good kill on you

Uncharted TV?

And spawning on teammates is fragging stupid.

Uncharted tv is basically just videos of players doing awesome stuff, it plays between matches, if you are done customizing your player you can watch it while you wait for the match to start

going back to the whole customization thing, I was thinking this morning about maybe putting the Half-Loaded booster into the game but instead that would be a clip, a chance for more money/get better at the game/when you get bored just mess around with stuff for the heck of it lol

Good idea, I think it will encourage players to be more friendly instead of cursing at their enemies. But I think it lacks a reason why the players will use it. Maybe if you can see a slow-motion instant replay like in black ops?

I have mixed feelings about taunting in the Uncharted series, true its great for us at the nation when we feel like doing nothing and just pump each other for an entire game, but there are people who just go up and taunt you for no reason at all, makes me go "wtf? get out of here"

That was a joke.

You probably come off as sarcastic when you say "good kill" or something.

UTV looks interesting. Could also be super diluted with 11 year olds that start screaming if they get a double down. I can just imaging people sitting in a corner and uploading that because they know it's the most they'll ever accomplish in life.

Sometimes double downs are amazing. Like my double down I got with only 1 shot

You know what I mean.

That's a neat idea. May encourage ppl to play with the rite spirit in the long run. Dont know if any multiplayer game in the market rite now has anything like this. There is too much cursing, raging, and negative emotions online. ppl end up acting like juvenile delinquents all too often (sometimes they are juvenile delinquents). With something like this there is a chance to spread a sporting competetive atmosphere online.

doesnt matter what features a game has, people are still going to swear, they are still going to get angry. Adding new features doesnt change their personality.

Agreed. There will always be ppl who will be like that no matter what. But there are also equal number of ppl who are not like that. With a feature like the one Raist suggested they will have a chance to express themselves in a cool way. Just like someone can do a pump over your dead face, why not something like this. Finally, its upto individuals, if you wanna be a douche you will be a douche, not matter where you are. That's besides the point

Hahahahahahaha. sorry but that's outright wrong. I agree that highfiving over dead bodies/nodding to concede defeat may help, but it will be underused and squeaky voices will crack.

You are entitled to your opinion, i respect that.

My knowledge about video games history is limited. Pls enlighten me if something like this has been tried in any of the MP games till now. Maybe in MMO's or some other genre's.

In experience with UC2 mp so far, most of the times i am killed by someone i am not happy, mostly with myself coz i think i could've done better in that situation or i think my opponent just got lucky. But sometimes there are moments where i know i've been downed by a brilliant play by an opponent, i want to be able to acknowledge that, compliment the guy and get on with it and try and get him next time. Yea, i could use the mic to do that. But i dont use it when i am playing with strangers in random deathmatches.

K that was a little mean on my part.

That's because U2 is more skill based than you-know-what. That's why the reason for your death is so appearant. With you-know-what there's about a thousand things that can kill you, ricochet off of team mates, air support, ricochet off of air support. U2 it's pretty much boosters guns, grenades and skill.
