So I have been playing the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta for a couple of days now, and I must say...This game is AWESOME!!! While I have yet to play through the Uncharted 1 story (I plan on starting that tomorrow) I have no doubt that Uncharted 2 is going to rock. I am ranked up to level 9 so far.
The thing that I find funny is that whenever I play the heros side people know that I am a girl (I play as Elena. Go figure), but when I am a villian, I have to play as a big burly russian dude. Someone killed me once when I was a villian and was all "Got you dude...Wait...That was a GIRL????" I found it to be hysterical to be honest. Everyone seems to have this preconceived notion that everyone who plays video games are inherently male. I know that the males make up most of the gaming demographic, but as someone who is fairly new to the gaming world (I am not a true gamer by any sense of the word) it can be kind of odd and unsettling at times.
I digress...Uncharted 2 is a game that should be running in every PS3 when it comes out. Hopefully Ill see you all on the battlefield.

" i still need to buy the first one. i'm sure i missed out "I felt the same so I tried the demo but hated the whole feel of the combat and even the movement so I didnt buy it. Wierdly the MP demo hooked me though, Its awesome! Everything about it from the movement to the feel of the guns "works" for me and I cant tell why.
I'm trying my hardest to keep playing the the awesome beta to a minimum, I don't want to have to re-rank up again and burn out on the game before it comes out.
I'm still finding it very hard to get into co-op games despite easily finding deathmatch stuff. I dont know if thats the time of day that i'm signing in or what... but I can't quite seem to link both adversarial and uncharted together...
The story and writing in the single player is really what Uncharted is all about... have fun with it.
" @AjayRaz said:i didn't even know that there was a demo. thanks :D" i still need to buy the first one. i'm sure i missed out "I felt the same so I tried the demo but hated the whole feel of the combat and even the movement so I didnt buy it.

i'll go check this demo out
" i still need to buy the first one. i'm sure i missed out "In the first one all the enemies play as the Heavy Weapons guy.
But seriously, it took like 8 mags to kill them.
I want to thank all of you for all of your replies. I am about to sign onto the Uncharted 2 beta right now after I browse The PS Store.
loved the first game so im sure i will love this one even more. its good to know that everyone who plays it, loves it right away. im jealous at all the people that are in the beta, lucky bastards. ha
Is there character customization in this game? What's the point of leveling up in multiplayer? Do you unlock stuff?
There is character customization in that you get to pick who you play as on either the hero or villian side and you get to choose a taunt to do and your characters perks. Leveling up give you money that you use to buy said perks and unlock them as well.

You can buy new characters and at present (remember it is still just the beta of the game) there are ten characters to play as on each side. I do not know how the character customization in MGO is because I have not played it and cannot comment on it.

Basically, you can make a character and buy different gear sets, like new chest armor, hats, accessories and the such.
So long as I hear about Uncharted 2 being good, I won't have to play it until it comes out. Because it looks badass, and I don't want to dilute that bad-assedness by being in the beta for it. I accidentally ruined my passion for Supreme Commander by doing exactly that.
@CowMuffins: Do people still play MGO? I remember servers were packed when the game first came out, but I also remember the terrible, terrible signup process.

They patched all the bullet lag too.

Uncharted 2....easily a contender for my GOTY! xD Didn't getta chance to play the beta but i just have a hunch knowing that this bein a game that basically retread the same formula from its predeccesor but also adds plenty of new additions along with it., me totally loving the original means i'll basically be put into a state of bliss with the the sequel lol
" Is there character customization in this game? What's the point of leveling up in multiplayer? Do you unlock stuff? "Yeah you earn money and there's a ton of stuff to unlock for doing so.
It's a really good beta. They still have issues to iron out - people quitting (!) - but it's a very impressive multiplayer component to what we all assumed would be a bit of a "tack on". It's certainly not short on content.
