There are two map packs out there to get. The last one released was particularly well done.

Is anybody having problems downloading the 1.09 upgrade? When I try to download it my hard drive just keeps spinning, and the screen go's to black? I cant get the update to download?

Is anybody having problems downloading ...I cant get the update to download?

I didn't have an issue; however I have encountered this same issue for downloading an update for Dark Void last night (just got it for $11, never played it before). What we might have in common is that we're using Firmware 3.41?

It would notify me of the update, I would start the download, it would wait there for about 20 seconds and then reset the PS3 back to the XMB.

So long as you don't want to go multiplayer (unlikely!), you can cancel the download and continue playing the single player campaign.

Sorry I don't have a solution for you - has anyone else encountered this?

that happened to me for a different ps3 game recently.... I just tried it again and it worked the second time.

Bought the Siege expansion but can never find players using the new maps in Deathmatch. Doesn't even find players if I set it to DLC instead of Default.

do you have the first map pack?
I only ask because when I purchased the first map pack I had no issues finding a game (Plunder) utilizing the new maps
my PS3 died right around the time of the Siege pack which I would have purchased ...
when I had a new PS3 a little over a month later I couldn't find players anymore for matches with the first expansion so I decided not to buy Siege

My guess is the matchmaking may search in 4 groups
those with no DLC
those with the first expansion only
those with the second expansion only
those with both expansion packs

which would limit matchmaking ability

Sounds like a bad connection..
Played all types of game play over the weekend..

Np finding ppl for matches
;)

Yeah, same here. I actually only play DLC maps and never had a problem with the auto-search, even after midnight PST.

New MP skins and Dynamic Theme available on August 17

Over on the PlayStation.Blog, we revealed that there’s some more UNCHARTED 2 downloadable content to be released on the PlayStation Network Store next week – a multiplayer skin pack with eight new skins and a PS3 Dynamic Theme. If you’ve been reading our community forums, you probably found out about the multiplayer skins a few weeks ago, but now it’s official and we’ve got a release date for you—Tuesday, August 17, 2010.

There’s been a ton of requests for all kinds of UNCHARTED 2 DLC up on our community forums (feel free to add more!), so that’s exactly where we headed when we were looking for ideas for our next set of multiplayer skins. After a little group decision making, we settled on these eight skins for the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Sidekick Skins Pack:

* Heist Chloe
* Borneo Chloe
* Borneo Sullivan
* UDF Sullivan
* Winter Sullivan
* Wetsuit Elena
* Dillon
* Mac

You can check out a selection of screenshots featuring these multiplayer skins in our Flickr set photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/naughty_dog/sets/72157624581918743/with/4883539569/).

Also available on the PlayStation Network Store that day is the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Dynamic

Both the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Sidekick Skins Pack and the Dynamic Theme are priced at $2.99 in North America.

If you’re located outside of the US and Canada, please check your local PlayStation Network Store for pricing in your region

They should make bikini wearing Choloe and Elena DLC...that'd get me playing this game again!

August 20 – 23
No Power Weapons

Can you still dominate with the basic tools of UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer?

During this weekend of “The Lab” we’ll be running Team Deathmatch but you’ll discover that all power weapons are absent on the selected maps.

That means no weapons like the M-32 Hammer, GAU-19, SAS-12, Pistole, and more, will be available for pickup.

No Power Weapons (http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/the_lab_august_2010_schedule/)

I've never played Uncharted 2. I liked the first one.

How is the multi in this game? I'm kind of bored of these SP games I've been playing lately but don't really feel like getting on the MW2 train.

How is the multi in this game?

Well, you are asking the people who were most interested in it! To answer your question: it is a lot of fun.

Download the single player demo to get an idea of the controls, graphics, and audio -- then picture that in a modified map with 5 versus 5 teams and using your blue tooth mic to coordinate tactics and talk trash. It was 2009 game of the year (mostly for the single player) and it won a lot of awards.

Having said that, if you look back a few pages, you'll hear KingShorty and DogDoctor chime in on how Naughty Dog significantly changed the game by rebalancing weapon attributes (rate of fire, magazine, lethality) and player health after version 1.04.

Check out more here: http://uncharted.wikia.com/wiki/Uncharted_2_Multiplayer

One more thing: the player population has been steady at about 50K per day for months now, I think we're seeing new people buy the game. It's coming up on one year old, but the online population is holding steady, so I don't think that is a concern.

Hey everyone, some more updates:

The Lab was open for 3 vs. 3 deathmatch and double cash weekend, last weekend. There will be another Lab: September 17 - 20 = Desert - 5 Shootout

There is a treasure/propane tank glitch that allows you to pick it up and run faster than anyone on the map. I think we're due for version 1.10 update to come out someday.

This week, a rumor of more DLC will be coming since one of the voice/mo-cap actors (Elena = Emily Rose) said she was doing work on Uncharted and Sony confirmed that is the case, but we've heard nothing from Naughty Dog. Who knows, maybe she was just helping to do an Uncharted 3 announcement or perhaps a one year anniversary game of the year edition trailer ? It's more likely to be some skins with voices, since that is simple.

On a personal note: I've not been playing much, but this weekend I played a bunch, was joined by a Naughty Dog employee for a few matches, and I'm $9million away from level 60. I think I'll achieve that before the anniversary of the two week open beta.

^^^ It's co-op DLC that she is working on. That's my favorite mode of U2, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they have for us.

I played the beta briefly and liked it. The question was geared more towards the population and whether or not its flat out broken (like Gears of War 2). It's good to hear it is not! I may check it out.

I wish I had had the opportunity to play with a few Naughty Dog players before I stopped playing. Take care playing it...I hope we get to play some more games together...will you be picking up KZ3 or NFS: HP in the future?

I may check it out.Just note, while played until I reached a level 60 and then a little beyond, the game isn't the same as the beta. But for someone (who hasn't played it at all since then) like you, I don't think you'll miss the things that are changed. Given a good group of people the MP can still be very, very fun, with just a few annoyances. cough, sit aware, cough. :D

Hey DD: I'm working on my backlog, actually (GoW2 and GoW3 are next)! I'm more curious about GT5, Split Second, and Motorstorm:Apocalypse than NFS, but if you're getting KZ3 I'll step it up in my priority list. I loaned my friend KZ2 and still haven't gotten it back, I never finished it.

I was talking to Z_A_N_I_C_K about how Wanderer sold his Uncharted 2, I asked him what he thought might be the next multiplayer game we all would play together? KZ3 and perhaps R3 would be good candidates in my estimation. I'm curious about Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but I don't think it would appeal to everyone and I'm not planning to get that day one.

Of course, we'll all be back for Uncharted 3...some year!

^^^ It's co-op DLC that she is working on. That's my favorite mode of U2, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they have for us.

Joe, I hate being empirical with you (I always hope I am wrong because I want what you want, too), but there's no proof of that!

Emily tweets she's been in LA working on Uncharted and then Sony confirms to Kotaku that it is for DLC.

http://kotaku.com/5631154/hmmm-uncharted-voice-actor-doing-some-new-uncharted-work-this-week

DLC could be: voices for new skins because that could easily be a single day job.

If we can triangulate that other actors (like Nolan North) are there *and* that they are doing it over a series of days, then co-op DLC is possible!

I'm skeptical, I'm not even sure if would be DLC for Uncharted 2. Maybe Elena is being turned into a DLC hero for Heroes on the Move or something. Or maybe Sony is mistaken and just covering for this leak. Maybe they are working on an Uncharted 3 teaser? Or maybe she's auditioning for the Uncharted movie? :~) There are too many possibilities and no announcement from Naughty Dog yet.

Anyways, I hope I'm wrong. And I'd be happy to work on the Back to Back medal with ya on Co-op someday. :~)

Actually, you're right that it isn't confirmed. Re-reading some of the reports, co-op is merely speculated since there's not much need for new voice-over work in vs. modes; the solo adventure and co-op is where we see the characters talking to one another in cut scenes. Hopefully we find out soon what they have for us.

Uncharted 3.

I've being replaying the game lately. Never tried the MP on this one,..a part the Beta but that was long time ago. Can't remember well.

Is it worthed? How good is it?

Cheers!

So I have been playing Uncharted 2 online tonight and got to level 12. It's actually pretty awesome! Like U1 SP was to GoW1 SP, Uncharted 2 is like a "slippery" GoW2 - except it's not a total broken mess. Oh, and the sound is amazing. A nice surprise.

i feel cheated every time i play competitive. i know every game has a learning curve. but this just feels like i'm being cheated out of kills. therefore, i can't recommend the mp to anyone. but the sp is great. oh well, back to bad company 2.

Seems all fine and dandy doesn't it. For now it does. Well it take 62+ million $ total to reach level 60. Of that 62 it takes 31 million $ just to reach level 58! The last original 2 take 29 million all by them selves. Ouch. That is why I got to 60 and then decided there would be no more attempts at leveling up for me. You can now go to level 70 and level 80 but each level beyond 60 requires 15 million $. Yeah like I have that kind of time.

Sure you have the time. Put all the time that you would invest in Disney/Pixar games into U2:AT and, boom, tough actin' tenactin. :D

I don't need to play this for hundreds of hours. As long as it's fun for a little while I am happy.

Definitly in small doses. Unfortunatly the higher level you get, they put you into rooms with guys who match your level and have learned to cheat, by activating the situational awarness booster while using 2 other boosters at the same time.

That's how I play it. I barely know what level I am (40 something I believe); I just play co-op for fun every now and then. If I get to 60, 70, 80 it is just gravy since I don't make it an actual goal over enjoying the game play.

The single player was a dissapointment but I was watching my friend play multiplayer the other day and it looks really fun and well polished. I will have to check it out.

I guess, to each their own.

I wouldn't call it a disappointment I liked it but I think it is a bit overrated. I liked the single player for UC 1 Drake's Fortune better. UC2 single player didn't give me enough freedom. It felt like it was on rails so to speak.

maybe that's why i feel cheated ...i forgot about that dumbass perk. i hope this perk fad comes to a quick end. bad company 2 is about as close to pure gaming as you can get nowadays. and that's pretty sad.

Not likely to come to an end. I stopped enjoying U2 when the released the patch to gimp the weapons (namely the FAL). Once they gimped that weapon, more people stopped using Down-the-Irons and started using Situational Awareness. Then more people started to learn how to glitch the perks where they could pick an "honor" perk (less ammo, less health, etc) and at the same time choose Situational Awareness and Down-the-Irons. Naughty Dog did fix the perk glitch but I had already stopped playing by then.

It was such an awesome game, a game that I would have never gotten rid of so quickly had Naughty Dog tried not to make the game like Call of Duty.

damn, maybe this is why I was getting my @ss handed to me playing against numerous clans during double cash (Labor Day) weekend

I'm not aware there is a glitch/cheat that is allowing others to use 3 boosters in total

by the way I use SA and don't consider it cheating ... it is no more cheating then using any of the other boosters (and there is a counter booster for it as well .. Evasion)

RUMOR: One year anniversary of Uncharted 2 release = DLC "Fortune's End" pack with skins and 3 maps.
http://uncharted.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune%27s_End_Multiplayer_Pack

This was posted anonymously on the wiki and there is no way to confirm or deny this, but it seems plausible. However, I don't see anything that implicates Emily Rose doing any voice actor work for the skins or co-op. It is an exciting rumor!

I have one complaint about the single player campaign: it ended :)

Honestly I think the multiplayer in this game is suprisingly fun. I finally just bought the DLC and if anybody still plays feel free to add me too your FR. psn id=zippo-man

I have one complaint about the single player campaign: it ended :)

the only thing i don't care for is the addition of mutants/monsters/whatever in every game. hopefully for uc3 they come up with something better than blue men that grunt a lot.

hopefully for uc3 they come up with something better ...

I agree, though you might wanna throw some spoiler tags on that one even though the game is almost a year old now :p. I guess i just didnt see the games as needing the "surprise twist" ending. The writing is so solid that I would enjoy just having a normal enemy. And while it was interesting (at least for me) in the first game, I didn't enjoy the second game's ending nearly as much. It just didn't feel well developed as compared to the rest of the game.

and it sucks when most games you end up playing half of the enemy team is spamming the SA booster (glitched or legit) and it seems the only way to have fun is to always use evasion.

I just feel SA should have been used differently. You shouldn't be able to see an enemy's location in real time, but delayed much like the kill marker in MW2 on sabatoge games.

You shouldn't be able to see an enemy's location in real time, but delayed much like the kill marker in MW2 on sabatoge games.I know you and I have rehashed this before. While using SA is not technically cheating, it sure feels that way. It means that you can have 1 guy on a team sitting in a corner, calling out all the enemy his SA can see. Then the rest of that team can use other positive boosters. However this leave the entire opposing team to be forced to use Evasion unless they are a rockstar at this game (which not all of us can be). So great. Now youre able to hide from the one guy that was looking for you, but in a dead on shoot out with the rest of the SA campers team, you're essentially handicapped. SA should have been made either 2 ways.

1. A SA playlist so all campers can camp eachother.

or

2. SA timer delay. Once used you can't use it for another 1 - 2 minutes. You get a flash look at the map, but then you are forced to play the game like everyone else while your precious SA timer resets. Hopefully long enough for someone to shoot you in the back while your for it to refresh.

I'm a rockstar!

I always thought it would have made sense to display each player's booster icons in the pregame screen allowing players some opportunity to adjust to their competition if need be

but hey I'm also one who thinks there should be an option to drop players waiting for a game into a match to fill a space vacated by someone who drops out of a match early (even rewarding that player who comes in during an ongoing match with a bonus multiplier or any rewards accumulated by the player who dropped out that he/she is coming in for)

done.

Subject says it all. 18 days, 13 hours of my life gone, but I don't think I can sell this game. KDR 0.6 (sucks, I'm not the best player) but W/L ratio of over 1.5 (great, I play with capable players and help teams win). Thanks to all of the AVS'ers who partied up and helped over many matches!

We are 15 days away from the one year anniversary of the release, meaning that the two week open beta for multiplayer started around now. I did make my goal of obtaining level 60 before starting playing this game a year ago.

I'm curious what Naughty Dog will do on the Uncharted 2 anniversary!

My most esteem congrats. It was a pleasure to help us both on our ways to 60! Now 5 more years and you can be at 80! lol.

Now 5 more years and you can be at 80!

Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen... :p

I played elimination against two level 80's the other night, that match went by even more quickly than you would expect: I was the only one taking it to them and getting cut down first!

There was discussion of "grading" levels 50-80 so that it's not exactly $15million climb between the levels from 59 onwards, but I don't know if that will happen. They still need to fix the treasure/propane tank running glitch, so there still could easily be an update and celebration coming our way soon.

My play will be fairly casual from here on out: I've heard of a [goof] clan recruiting level 60s to be Doughnut Drakes and run around for fun: that sounds my speed for now. I want to finish GoW2/3 next, then read Dante's Inferno and play that.

However, you got me thinking: will Uncharted 3 (or if we're lucky, they'll rush and make a 2.5) continue the multiplayer of Uncharted 2? Would it be a superset of maps/features, perhaps, or a wholly new community unto itself, where everyone starts over at zero and there is no cross over to Uncharted 2? The former, while having a set of legacy problems, seems more desirable to me.

I'm curious what Naughty Dog will do on the Uncharted 2 anniversary!

GOTY edition, baby!



http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/28/uncharted-2-among-thieves-game-of-the-year-edition-coming-october-12th/

Are the GOTY extra contents disabled on the Blu-ray disc which requires the voucher to activate them or still have to be downloaded using the voucher?

In either case, once I have the extra contents enabled, can I still access them if I play with multiple PSN IDs on the same PS3 console? Not everyone shares the voucher contents but do play with more than one PSN ID to keep different multiplayer scores.

Is this the direction more GOTY or Ultimate Edition is moving to using a voucher to unlock the extra contents?

GotY Edition includes a "super voucher" so you can download everything for free, which is all of the DLC. On the PS Blog they mention they couldn't easily put it on the disk. You'll still have to do a title update as well.

The also announced a special lab + Naughty Dog employees playing on the anniversary weekend Oct 16th on the same entry on the ND and PS Blog.

While we’re at it, MARK YOUR CALENDARS and join us online on Saturday, October 16, 2010, for some awesome festivities to celebrate one year since the release of UNCHARTED 2!
We’ll be running a special one-day only playlist which compiles a “Best of…” selection of gametypes we’ve chosen from previous episodes of “The Lab.” (http://www.naughtydog.com/tag/the+lab/) We’ll also have plenty of Dogs online nearly all day in that playlist to play against. But that’s not all – we’re not ready to reveal everything yet, so please check back on NaughtyDog.com (http://www.naughtydog.com/) in the next few weeks to get all the details on how we’re celebrating our one year anniversary!

I think the recent PS3 software update may be causing problems with the multiplayer.

Last night I was trying to play the objective based team games and the system was constantly locking up in between matches.

The game would get stuck on the spinning dagger loading screen or would get stuck on the screen with the floating maps that you see immediately before the match is supposed to start.

Happened 4 times.

I've got an original PS3 and have all the DLC and updates for the Uncharted.

Anybody else having problems?

Also, feel free to send a friend request. I like to play the objective based matches and the survival mode. I'm kind of burned out on deathmatches.

I'm currently ranked 65 but would consider myself still a novice.

My handle is married_man

...then read Dante's Inferno and play that.
I did that and I can tell you the poem is very deep, and depending on the translation, tough to read at times. The game, while not even on the level of God of War Series, was interesting to see how they adapted the text (both good and bad at times). Have, fun...I've moved on to powder puff games for now. Awaiting the November hits and enjoying watching my daughter take the PS3 controllers from me now to cause Toy Story 3 characters to spin in circles and make you nauseous, and then eventually making them respawn by jumping in the water to see if they can swim. Too Funny!

Tomorrow is the anniversary: 5X cash for just Saturday (PT), no match caps, the best of the Lab playlist, about 30 Naughty Dogs playing during the day, and a Nathan Drake skin available to unlock for people who play during that day only!

Looking to hit level 60? Or level 80? This is absolutely your day to get a massive leg up on your run to the highest levels of the game. We’ve lifted the cash cap in ALL playlists – that’s right, NO CASH CAP. Period. But that’s not enough to celebrate our anniversary! For only these 24 hours, we’ve opened the floodgates and you’ll be getting 5x cash in all playlists, all day!

UPDATE: For the 24-hour event, only Naughty Dogs with the red paw will have access to the exclusive Anniversary Nathan Drake skin for multiplayer. BUT..... everybody who plays in a game in Matchmaking during the 24-hour event will have the skin activated for their account early next week. If you don’t play in a Matchmaking game, you won’t EVER get the skin. This is our special gift to our most loyal players who are celebrating our anniversary with us.

We’ve made sure to have plenty of Naughty Dog staff online over nearly the entire 24 hour anniversary period playing EXCLUSIVELY within the “Best of… The Lab” playlist. Most of the Dogs will be clustered around the primetime playing hours of 9:00 AM PDT hrough 9:00 PM PDT

You can recognize official Naughty Dog employees by the red paw next to their PSN ID displayed in-game – if they don’t have the paw, they’re not a Dog, simple as that.

We have a roster of Dogs playing on October 16 over 30 deep representing every department at the studio:

Andrew O.
Anthony N.
Arne M.
Benson R.
Brenden Q.
Brian R.
Christian G.
Christophe B.

As a special treat, and a test of our endurance, both Robert C. and I will attempt to play for nearly the entire 24 hours of our anniversary event. Let’s see how far we can make it through the day!

We hope to see many of you online during our Anniversary event—we’ve had a tremendous year with UNCHARTED 2 in every way possible and we couldn’t have done it without our fan community.

We love holidays like Halloween! I’m sure you do too – because it almost always means we’ve got something more special than the same-old, same-old planned in UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer for such weekends. Don’t forget that there tend to be plenty of holidays towards the end of the calendar – and we’re heading into the last couple of months of 2010.

As always, to recap: “The Lab” is a special, limited-time playlist for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves multiplayer that is active every other weekend. “The Lab” playlist features one or more custom-tuned gametype variations chosen by our game designers to test potential new settings, try out alternate gametypes in a real-world setting or just mix things up for the sake of variety.

“The Lab” is open from Friday, October 29, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?) through Monday, November 1, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?).

The Halloween weekend episode of “The Lab” features 2 vs 2 Elimination. The suspense created by having only one life per round in Elimination fits a Halloween nicely, don’t you think? Because the teams are limited to 2 players each, we’ve lowered the number of rounds to 3 in each match. We’ve also disabled Boosters – to keep things on an even field with teams of this small size – and removed power weapons from all the active maps in “The Lab.”

Of course, nothing says a Halloween event without a trick and a treat. The trick is we’re putting everyone in a Halloween appropriate “costume” for the entirety of this weekend – by having teams of only the Dead Explorer and Skelzor, just as we had during our Halloween event in 2009. The treat is that all weekend we’ll be awarding Double Cash and the cash cap has been raised to double its normal amount as well – to $150,000 for competitive multiplayer and $200,000 for cooperative multiplayer.

The active maps for this weekend of “The Lab” are:

* The Ice Cave
* The Plaza
* The Temple
* The Train Wreck

We’ll be opening the 2 vs 2 Elimination discussion thread on the Naughty Dog community forums at about the same time “The Lab” starts this weekend. Be sure to leave your thoughts after you’ve had a chance to play a few rounds!

I had to play this weekend and I made level 61. Definitely slowing down on U2 multiplayer and working on the backlog of other games!

“The Lab” starts up again later this week with a weekend of M32 - Hammers Only—we’ll post full details, including variation parameters and maps on Thursday, November 11—and then we’ll be closing out the month with a Thanksgiving themed event.

If you’re new to “The Lab,” welcome! “The Lab” is a special playlist we will be running for a limited time on designated weekends, roughly every other weekend. You can access “The Lab” playlist within the set of playlists found in Matchmaking in UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer. During each weekend “The Lab” is active, we’ll be running a specialized playlist featuring one or more custom-tuned gametype variations from the tons of variables we can tweak in our multiplayer gameplay settings.

November 12 - 15
M32 - Hammers Only
You’ve experienced RPGs Only through our Deathmatch variations options and been through “The Lab” episode of Grenades Only to get your fill of explosives-only action in multiplayer. In that vein, we’ve focused on that one power weapon—the M32 - Hammer, just in case you didn’t catch that just now—that you all both love and hate. We’re keeping Boosters active expressly so you are presented with the difficult choice—do I go for Sure Foot or Launch Man? Of course, some of you are going to go with Come Get Some for the extra cash—although with relatively limited ammo in your M32 - Hammer, you may not want to opt for Half Loaded unless you’re exceedingly masochistic or just want a challenge. There’s a few other gametype parameters we’re working out for this episode, so check back later this week for our regular Thursday update on “The Lab” for full details.

Does anyone know where I can download an Uncharted 2 Windows 7 Theme? I found one, but that only has 1 wallpaper. Would like one with a few nice screenshots.

Up to 8x cash over the next few days...
