The Official UNCHARTED 3 MP Beta Impressions (LIVE NOW)

[Solid-Stark]

Before i start, i would like to say that i have played U2 multiplayer extensively (13 days, rank X(60))

The game feels alot slower than U2. Character feels clunky (slow in turning and such movements like jumping compared to U2). There is a "sprint" mechanism now, but for the most part it works well.

This is definitely alot more "rank" centric because at first your gun is terrible (AK). Judging by the customizations, your gun gets alot better in the later ranks. Character customizations are a plus too. (Plenty more customization options)

Gameplay feels new and old at the same time. It feels like Uncharted but the shooting is different. The cross-hair is not like the previous games; it is replaced by a circle with a dot in the middle. And you must absolutely shoot where the dot is. What i mean is, the dot in the middle of the cross-hair is where your bullets will fly.(AK doesn't spread anymore)

Maps are cinematic and interactible. It definitely makes the gameplay more fun, but in my opinion, this can get quite annoying after hours of playing(scenes). However, you can do few things in maps, like break some objects or even bring down a shutter to keep enemies away.

Finally, graphics have definitely improved. Lightining and textures are above U2's.

Overall I'm disappointed. Character movements and the shooting mechanics make me prefer U2's multiplayer. Of coarse i understand this is a Beta and not all is final. And you should be warned that this Beta is buggy. Lag in-game, and freezes the whole console at times.
