Oh, yes...
I'm in the Closed Beta, and I gotta say so far I think the online is easily my favourite of anything I've tried this gen.
Now, I used to play a lot of online, going way back to Doom days, but of late I've found it boring and have only played most online sporadically just to try it out, so my views are probably not the most common.
Saying that, the MP in Uncharted 2 in the Beta is a blast. One, its tactical and using cover, etc. works really well. Running around in the open almost always ends badly. Two, the graphics are great and rather than feeling generic it feels like Uncharted, only online. Three, for once capture the flag makes sense! I've always liked capture the flag type modes but of course the actual concept made no sense - now it does, because you're capturing treasure while others try and stop you. Perfect. Four, the coop is sweet. ND should given Insomniac a big kiss for showcasing this approach to coop, because it works so well in Uncharted universe. You take down bad guys, you have to climb, etc. and all the while working together as a team of adventurers.
So far I'm totally sold on the online element - for me it works terrifically and is just what I imagined. Time will tell if it has enough depth/maps to really hold up for an extended period of time, but if the SP delivers like the online then I'm guessing Uncharted 2 is very likely going to be my personal GOTY.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
