Those of you who frequent Naughtydog.com and keep up with the latest Uncharted 2 news may know that we’ve been running a poll on the site to receive feedback on future playlists for the Multiplayer mode of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
We’re running the same poll here on the European blog so Europeans can also have their say. We are listing five options in the poll, and below is a short breakdown about each one.
Plunder Only
All Plunder, all the time. No variations, nothing but capping treasure and shooting enemies.
Crushing: All Game Types
The Crushing variation on all maps with all game types. Crushing is a more hardcore version of our rule set where players have less health and no Boosters are active.
Crushing: Deathmatch Only
The Crushing variation on all maps in standard Deathmatch only.
Skilled Objectives
All Objective game types, but now with a Skill Level. Skill Levels are tied to each playlist, so all players would start with a Skill Level of 1 in this playlist, regardless of the Skill Level already achieved in the Ranked playlist.
Deathmatch Variants Only
All the Deathmatch variants including Sniper/Pistole, Pistols/Grenades, RPG’s, and Crushing.
We can’t guarantee that we’ll be releasing the most popular playlist, but we really want to know what you’d like to see, so let us know what you want – vote and be heard!
Vote for your favourite playlist in the comments below. If you have other suggestions feel free to let us know.

Crushing: All Game Types
@50
a match duration is usually between 2 and 15 minutes!if you have less then 10 minutes to play don’t even start a match!!
it’s not the penalty that ruins the experience, it’s ppl who quit half-match!

As i’m sure you know not everyone quits, the penalty hits people for everyting from getting signed out of PSN, crashing during match startup, random connection errors (not always caused by service provider) etc.
All this has been posted about via the official site, this blog, the eu/us forums and so far not one single thing has been said about sorting it all out, the fact is this current penalty system is killing the MP and loads are leaving it (me included, i sold mine 2 days ago and i got the game soley for MP), so they really need to sort it.
If your OK with it, then i say have fun when there is hardly anyone to play with.
56
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:44 pm by Caffer
wait a second..loads are leaving the game because:
1)there’s ppl who bought it for the offline
2)Noob game COD 6 where you don’t need to be skilled to win a match is now out
3)lot of ppl quit half-match and it’s very annoying..
anyway i can’t understand what’s the matter in losing a rank or some $…play it for fun!do you really need rank?do you really need $?if your only quits are when the game crashes or some errors appear then it’s not a big issue…i think you don’t crash 1 time a day right?

Crushing All Game Types sounds best, if not, then my 2nd choice would be Crushing deathmatch.
58
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:59 pm by SwiftRyu
Plunder Only. I didn’t realise there were other choices. This should have been in there Day 1. Patch it up ND!

Anyone who cries about stuff like that ruining the game is boring, Uncharted was never meant to be realistic

Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 7:57 am by Awsomonium
Also these penalties are stupid for leaving early. Sometimes my i get disconnected for some reason and lose points or booted. It should only be if someone goes to their menu and presses quit b4 game is over.

How about this…
1. Why can’t we have ALL of these =-(
2. Why can’t we have two Map Packs, the Elena Map Pack (EVERY Single Level, Weapon and characters available as skins from UC1 as an online map pack in UC2) and the Chloe Map Pack where we have LOTS more weapons from WICKED games like MW2 and some made up maps which are AWESOME!!

i would vote for SKILLED OBJECTIVE, I ain’t a big player but enjoyed it the most!!

Deathmatch Variant Only please!
Have a lot of fond memories of RPG-only and Sniper/Pistole matches from the beta – cheers guys!

Definitely crushing deathmatch only

I don’t come across them very often so I think it would be a good playlist to bring in.
75
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 10:12 am by Apnomis
I’m not a huge fan of the competitive as I don’t seem to be any good at it
I’m blaming this on all the upgrades the other players seem to have that I don’t so for that reason I’m voting for a Crushing: All Game Types playlist…
However the earlier suggestion about a KZ2 style game that has randomly selected short missions based on all the different game modes sounds awesome, make it so Naughty Dog
Also I really love the co-op mode – please don’t neglect this when it comes to the DLC updates, I would love to see a co-op map pack as well as a competitive map pack!

@ Arne you said: “The average wait at worst is no more than a few minutes”. I have the same problem; waiting more than 5 minutes (all the time). But when I play Killzone 2 I’m in a game very quick so I don’t think there is anything wrong with my connection.
77
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 10:35 am by OttoT
Oh, I never played a game where the other guys are around the same level. Often I was in a low level team and the other team where high up in there ranking. They wipped us of the map. That was no fun to play! The time I play is a regular crowded one with lots of players online. Ot stopped me playing online.

Deathmatch variants only
And dibs to the Killzone 2 idea of linking different challenges. It’s a great aspect of K2.
Unfortunately the waiting times to get into games has become a bit of a running joke between me and a few of my friends. We all have the same problem, and our connections are fine. 10 mins to get into a game!? I’d made myself a cup of coffee while waiting; it was taking so long.

I don’t care for UC2′s multiplayer since it’s no fun getting blasted to shreds by level 40+ opponents when everyone in your team is level 20 or lower. Try fixing the “matchmaking” so it creates better balanced teams.
And as others have said: getting into games can take anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes (more than long enough to smoke a cigarette).

I hope this is not the only thing to ad in the DLC.
I VOTE FOR DEATHMATCH VARIANTS ONLY.
84
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 1:02 pm by waypoetic
I vote for Plunder only.
And please, do something about the grenades explosive radius! That thing needs to be tweaked. Yesterday i was right in one and didn’t die and as usually (always) when a grenade lands like 5 meters in front of me – i die. That’s ridiculous! It’s a grenade, not a [DELETED] nuclear bomb. The most disturbing thing is when i see a grenade flying, i roll out and the game treats me like i was in standing where i was 2 seconds ago…! I moved, i’m like 10 meters away from that grena… nuclear bomb.

DEATHMATCH VARIANTS ONLY !!
me and my girlfriend played the beta, the demo and when we bought the game WE REALLY MISSED the variants of having only two weapons to get that extra edge in difficulty and fun by everyone having just two weapons to battle with.
PLEASE WE WISH NAUGHTYDOG TO BRING BACK THE TWO WEAPONS VARIANT FUN BACK INTO UC2-MP !!

91
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 4:27 pm by whatthefackGi
Seriously Naughty Dog, on the look of all the comments, just implement all the different modes, so everyone is happy.
But if I had to choose one it’ll be PLUNDER ONLY !!!
92
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 4:31 pm by whatthefackGi
PS. Do something about the matchmaking system, the waiting is too long, and the balance of the players(level) are also out of order… just several minor things that could be fixed and that keep me going for more…

Deathmatch variants, Co op’s enough of a challenge already! Still, in a good way.

97
Posted on 11 November, 2009 at 5:36 pm by waypoetic
… And i wan’t to add something.
I guess you guys (ND) are looking at this multiplayer component as a party thing, a thing for the casualplayer. It’s not supposed to be tweaked to perfection and it’s not supposed to compete with other third person shooters out there. Right?
It’s supposed to make you yell “WHAT THE [DELETED] DID JUST HAPPENED?!” when you pump a guy’s chest area full with bullets and he doesn’t go down, and he just have to flip the L2 button and toss a grenade and roll out of there – and you die instead.
But you have perks, playlists, partyupsystems and other things that confuses me in to thinking that this is serious multiplayer action stuff. But it’s not.
