Still far too many Deathmatch variants, but the overall improvement on the shooting, customisation options and more cinematic levels have already definitely pushed U3's multiplayer over U2's for me. And yeah, five months wait now... bloody unbearable ='(

Yeah it's too bad it's over and I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as you did but I cannot wait for this game to come out. I can relate to how much the wait sucks though as after the gears 3 beta ended I have been yearning for some more gears 3 at least September is sorta close.

Got to level 33, loved every minute of the beta. Aside from a few little things:

• Matchmaking: getting pitted against a team of five level 30+ players (who are clearly in a party), against myself, a level 20 and a bunch of dudes below level 10 was really bumming me out.
• Dropping me into a game-in-progress is fine, but be sure the match isn't half, or nearly over. It's a waste of my time.

And that's really about it, I have concerns with the balance of certain weapons but I'm confident they'll figure that stuff out in due time. I'm kinda sad I can't play the beta now, honestly. Man was I enjoying it. I hope when the actual game comes out Giant Bomb has a group of regular players -- I lone wolfed it the entire beta and that kind of sucked.

The beta was absolutely tremendous, can't wait for the game's return in November.

They better add elimination in the full game. I love elimination in UC2.

Has anyone ran into any trouble getting into the beta lately? Every time I start it up an error message pops up saying I can't get in.
 
Anyway, made it to level 33, and man it is tons of fun. Although there are too many deathmatch variants, and the Co-op Hunter Arena was just ridiculous. Hopefully when they narrow the selections down, hope that mode will be the first to go. Despite that, there's fun to be had in the UC3 beta. Can't wait for November. :)

I've pretty much concluded that I'm only going to be playing the Co-op modes. While I was impressed with the cinematic maps and such, none of it was worth the pain of TDM and the incompetence of many of its players. Everyone just seems to ignore the buddy system completely.

This was amazingly awesome, it will be missed, until November

As far as I noticed, the M9 just demolishes everything in the game. As did the Arm Micro. If you had that loadout with the RoF perk on the Arm and Reload Speed on the M9, you were basically unstoppable.

Where the fuck where you?! There's a GB Uncharted Clan complete with customary new-member plushies and everything!!... OK, ignore the plushy, that was a over-hyperactive lie. Sorry to get your hopes up =X But yeah.... plenty O people on GB are well into Uncharted's online.

Well, fuck. :|

I remember briefly looking at that thread, but just assuming that it was for Uncharted 2 only (which I no longer play.) Having just one other person to party up with would have made a lot more matches bearable. At least I know for next time, though.

@Abyssfull: I didn't really play competitive after 1.04 dropped, so I'm not really aware of the balance changes since.

Yeah, Abyssfull pretty much laid it out. The Micro was toned way down, which I'm glad they did, because that whole thing was just getting out of hand. I still found it useful in certain situations after the patch, though. I'm not going to lie though, getting killed by an AK that was being hip-fired was absolutely infuriating to me. And I agree with him that the M9 felt under powered, if anything. I was usually pretty surprised when I saw someone using it.
