As the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta (our hands-on) slowly begins to draw to an end, last night Naughty Dog announced that the online preview has drawn in over a million unique players. The milestone was passed the day after the beta became publicly available on the PlayStation Network storefront. Naughty Dog are also reminding players that tomorrow marks the final phase of the beta and will introduce two news game modes (Plunder, Co-op Adventure) as well as the Yemen multiplayer map. The beta is set to go offline on July 14th.
Want to get the drop on your opponents when Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception launches later this year? Check out the beta reward chart which doesn’t only include to the opportunity to earn cosmetic items such as decals, but a “handsome reward” of in-game cash too for when full-game releases.

i thought the beta had many faults. I can shoot someone in the face, their response is ‘oh’. Then that same person will punch me once and i’m dead. it just doesn’t have balance. i’m not surprised the numbers for the beta are high. I just hope ND learn from the beta because Uncharted 2 MP was spot on (apart from when it was gatecrashed by Sony’s other lead characters).

Really? I though the PlayStation character skin pack was actually a neat addition for fans. Headshots aren’t very powerful, though I find myself getting the Head Hunter medal every couple of games, so it much register.

True-to-life != Balance. Attacking in melee is harder than shooting someone in the head.

The maps are good but I’ve had terrible lag problems with this beta. Can’t tell you the times I’ve been aboput to carry off the most amazing headshot for the player to freeze and drop out, or just about to nab someone carrying plunder when I freeze myself or get botted from the game.
Having said that the match-making system is a million times better than UC2 and works (unlike the UC2 beta)
Still the same problem for us colour-blinds – can’t tell the difference between friend or foe. Wish they’d use red and blue or red and white, something I can see!!

Really hope they sort out the freeze soon…. Never had freeze before but i think i have had it about 3 times now on the beta.

The maps are too open, it takes too many bullets to kill a person and before you know it someone is behind you shooting and then your dead.
MP is ok but I still prefer online in other games, I prefer 3rd person MW2 than UC3 online.

for me, it’s the best online experience ever, played uncharted 2 to death and can’t wait till uncharted 3 launches

My mate brought his PS3 over Saturday night so I got to see Uncharted3 in action and play some split screen games.
Overall I thought it was terrific and this is coming from someone who never really got into the multi component in U2. Objective games feel similar to Warzone from KZ3 so that stood as my favourite, but the co-op hunter mode was also pretty enjoyable.
My wife nearly bought me a PS3 from Tesco on Sunday after I enjoyed it so much but I told her about the planned price drop later in the year, lol.
