great! Uncharted 2 was OK but this is a multiplayer you would actually want to spend time on.
First off, 4 hours of play and no lag, crashes or bugs, but I've played mostly 1.0 and not 1.01, so there could be problems with that.
Metagame
No more useless perks and skins. Now there are meaningful perks, weapon modifications, killstreaks (not actually killstreaks), taunts and clothing items. That also means you start with the gun of choice instead of picking it up. The emblem system is a little shitty now, but at least I was able to make something resembling the Giant Bomb (literally just a black bomb and evil eyes).
Gameplay
Uncharted 2 could be slow and campy at times. This game is much faster without being chaotic, and it's much more vertical. People run, climb and brawl more. Regular old cover walls are pretty much dead because the maps are much more dynamic - you would just get shot in the back.
"Killstreaks" such as access to 2 RPG shots are unlocked by "medals" so you're more encouraged to do crazy shit.
There's now also all sorts of random stuff going on during a match: the first 2 minutes will take place on a plane and some trucks, treasures will spawn on the map or from players, a plane will crash, the losing side will be able to see enemy locations for a minute and so on. And you can high five with your buddy over an enemy for a bonus.
But most importantly: air humping is back.
And even more importantly: the game can replace disconnected players. No more shitty lopsided matches.
tl;dr: it's fun
