I might get around to downloading this soon...

In general I have been impressed.   Part of that was low expectations, I figured the multiplayer would be tacked-on garbage.     I have been surprised by how well everything works.   The graphics do not seem compromised and the co-op is a whole lotta fun.

This will be my online shooter of choice until Modern Warfare 2 comes out.

I haven't really enjoyed online games that much since halo 2. Mostly because I was playing with friends, but the game overall is just really fun

It is actually pretty damn fun.  I just get the feeling the guns are really inaccurate and its hard to kill someone with just shooting them.  Feels like someone has more health that I would give them.  Guess too used to COD.   But with the small compact maps, its fun to run around and you can jump around and smack someone down.  I like it and I am just waiting for the single player demo to download to decide if I want to buy it.  i fucking hate the speed of downloading stuff on the PSN.  Xbox live is so much faster.

At least I think its the single player demo because the Multiplayer Beta was released to everyone, it had been by code only before, last week.  Then i spotted something that just said Uncharted 2 Demo on the PSN.  It was right on the front menu, so I proceeded to download it.  Still waiting on it. "

The PSN demo is a multi-player demo. I too thought it might be a single-player demo until I installed it. I deleted it about ten minutes later . . . :P

Is it just me, or are the controls strange for a PS3 controller? Mainly because after I shoot a bullet or two, I always reload, and I hate the R2 and L2 buttons on my controller. I sometimes press square and do a melee attack on a wall -_-...its just annoying now that most games have a very similar button configuration that this one has a completely different one. Other than that, the guns seem slightly unbalanced, but its pretty good.

Pretty good, actually.

The MP is definitely very solid but I don't know if it'll have a huge draw for me.  I'm more interested in the Uncharted 2 SP portions.
 
First round I played in this second beta phase (I also played in the previous phase months ago), it was me and 4 other people levels 1-4 against a team of players levels 19-49 or some ridiculous shit.  I held my own because I already knew what I was doing but the matchmaking is as bad as it could be.  Being higher level gives you a distinct firepower advantage, unlike COD4.  This limits to playerbase because the people that play more will not only be more skilled from playing, but also have an advantage in power.
 
I was also kind of surprised about some of the gunplay.  Shooting someone in the head doesn't seem to do much extra damage with many weapons.  When I came from playing Halo 3 / ODST I noticed myself shooting less often to get headshots, but that never works with most weapons in U2...
 
Anyways it's still very good despite those flaws, it's just no COD4 or Halo 3 at this point.

I hope what we're seeing graphically in multiplayer is making some hefty concessions, I went from the original Uncharted to the Uncharted 2 Beta and it just looked like the same game completely. 
 
Not sure how I feel about this one, I loved the original, but the multiplayer of this that i've played seems to be pretty..tacked on to say the least. 
 
I do know, however, that when I buy Uncharted 2 it will not be to play the multiplayer.

It's awesome, glad I pre-ordered =D

" @TheHBK: Cant remember where i read it but they said they are not releasing a single player demo because they dont need to because people are already hyped for the game. "

I think the demo is pretty good.  Since its a third person multiplayer shooter it will draw a lot of comparisons to Gears of War.  I have to say that so far I prefer Uncharted 2's multiplayer to Gears of War.  I especially enjoy the platforming elements in Uncharted. I can climb walls, jump across gaps, and shoot while hanging from ledges.  The characters also feel more nimble.  In Gears of War the characters feel like walking tanks which is kind of bothersome when you're trying to quickly get away from an opponent in a team deathmatch.  I also like the maps in Uncharted.  The few maps in the demo were vibrant and full of color.
 
One problem I have with the demo is throwing grenades. To me holding L1 to aim while pressing L2 to toss the grenade is a little awkward.  I have to place my index finger on L1 and my middle finger on L2 and this just feels strange to me.  So far I have just been blindly throwing grenades by just tapping L2.  Also, aiming weapons at medium to long distances is kind of hit or miss.  It just doesn't feel as natural and easy as it should.  This is probably more of an issue I have with using the bulbous right analog stick on the Dualshock to aim.
 
However, I am looking forward to playing the full multiplayer game when its released.

I think the AK47 is way too inaccurate, it seems to be a little frustrating.

Wat. "

The AK47 strategy seems to be to get in fairly close and then just hold the button down when shooting someone.  That's the lesson I learned.
 
Other rifles are better long range, but you can't burst fire and win a close/med range fight.

Granted, I never played. But when I was watching, it seemed that the AK47 was way too inaccurate, the other rifle though (M16?) was a lot more accurate. OR maybe you just suck at shooting guys. "

excelent

I think the AK47 is inaccurate at far distances so that it, the FAL, and the M4 can differentiate themselves.  The AK is great up close, the FAL is great at far distances, and the M4 kinda stands in the middle.
