Hope it doesn't end up being an AK fest again.......

Before 1.05, it never was an AK fest.  But I know how you feel. 

However, please reserve judgment until you play the beta.  (:

More Info has been released:

 

Now that you know all the Uncharted 3 multiplayer details, it's time to make sure you don't suck at it. Obviously, playing and honing your skills is the preferred way to get awesome at the game, but the beta doesn't begin until at least June 28, 2011. While you wait for that glorious day, IGN grabbed developer Naughty Dog and asked them to give you the ins and outs of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Some of the tips are obvious, but plenty of them give you insight that you wouldn't get on your own until the end of June.


DID YOU KNOW: Treasure Sets

  • There are different levels of rarity for Treasure Sets. Artifact Sets, Idol Sets, Relic Sets and Legendary Sets

  • Treasure Sets unlock "Appearance" items and "Emblem" parts. They also unlock special items we're not quite ready to talk about yet!

  • Treasures drop in a variety of game types

  • Some Treasures will only drop in certain Game Types or Maps

 

- Rolling is an excellent way to avoid fire
- Always consider how you can combine Boosters. Some combinations create a great loadout


DID YOU KNOW: Paid Boosters

  • You are given the option to purchase them before a game starts

  • They can be purchased at any time during a match by pressing start

 

- Pick the right moments when to use a Medal Kickback. Speedy G (an in-game speed boost) works quite well with certain Power Weapons
- Don't take the risk of aiming out of cover when someone is nearby. Blindfire from cover, when someone is close, is very powerful


DID YOU KNOW: Treasure Drops

  • A Treasure Drop will be either money or a piece of a Treasure Set

  • Picking up a treasure will always award a Medal

 

- When a Treasure drops in a game, it will only be around for a certain amount of time. Get out there and get it!
- Anytime a cinematic event happens on a competitive map, new gameplay elements can open up. Keep an eye out for them


DID YOU KNOW: Buddy System

  • A Buddy can pick up a treasure for another Buddy. Doing so will award money but not the Treasure

  • A Buddy can spawn on another Buddy when they are not in combat

  • Buddies can high-five each by holding square next to each other

  • When Buddies take down a enemy together, an icon appears over the corpse and the Buddies can high-five each other (it's awesome)

  • A Buddy can be abandoned by high-fiving with another teammate

  • Never leave your Buddy

 

It's a beautiful day -- TO DIE!
- It's not always helpful to just spawn on your buddy. Consider when to spawn on your Buddy or you may regret it
- Take the time to study what Boosters and Weapon Mods will be unlocked at certain Ranks. You can always save up money for the Loadout you want


DID YOU KNOW: Medal Kickbacks

  • Not all Medal Kickbacks are created equally. Some cost more medals than others
  • Medal Kickbacks are activated by pressing up on the D-pad

  • Teammates will show the Medal Kickback icon near their player arrow when they have one activated

 

- Taunting is awesome. You can taunt by not moving and pressing X
- You can high-five anytime by holding down on the D-pad


DID YOU KNOW: Mechanics

  • Sprint has been added and is defaulted to R3. It can changed to L3 under Options

  • Grenades can be thrown back with the right timing

  • A grenade can be dropped while rolling or jumping

  • Ziplines are awesome -- you can shoot from them or throw a grenade

 

- Swapping to your pistol is always faster than reloading
- Not all guns are created equal, select the gun that works with your play style
