The patch fixed a lot of the connection and freezing issues for me. The gameplay is more fun than the original multiplayer from UC2, and that's saying something.

Sorry guys... a lot work for me today... just now I can enjoy the Beta.

I'm liking it so far, and the customization is great. However, a few new features need some tweaks.

The powerplay is a pretty cool addition since it makes the matches more interesting and adds variety. However, it can be unbalanced at times. In one game, I was selected as the VP, then we were visible to the opposing team, and then the opposing could do double damage. The opposing team eventually caught up and beat us because of those benefits. Complete BS. It's like the game wanted them to win.

Spawning needs some tweaking in the airplane section. I usually end up spawning behind or in the middle of the opposing team. In one occasion, the whole opposing team spawned behind me!!

Also, the game feels slower and a little sluggish compared to UC2, but I've adapted to this new style.

all i can say is that i hope the servers for UC2 MP dont get taken down any time soon

biggest issue character moment is slow sluggish kinda like how it was in UC1

another big issue for me is that i aint feeling the kickbacks and game alterations with the music coming on during the match kick backs will get abused just like they do in COD and they just fell plain unnatural  and the alterations that happen during matches are distracting

whats up with the torrent in each map the air strip i can usually get quite a few kills off before dying i dont mind the kills but its unbalanced for other players

graphics aint nothing to write home about but its a beta so i wont be to harsh on that

cant play any map solo would of liked to do survival solo like the games UC3 is trying to be like COD ect. (i can remember them saying they aim to out do COD and the kickbacks are just another word for kill streaks)they have there horde/specops/combat training modes available to play in solo

recoil is insane compared to UC2 cant get mid to long range shots as easy that doesnt bother me that bad though well take time getting use to

didnt have no connection issues though and liked how the game is completely overhaul from past UCs the weapon HUD, the sounds are all different than UC2 and 1 they were almost identical to each other


UC2 is/was the best MP game for me very balance, easy small maps i like how the map was just inverted, not alot of crap going around i could just focus on killing others it was very basic but it worked well for me

i never been part of a beta before so hopefully alot of stuff gets changed before release also go to ND UC3 beta forums lots of similar complaints....

So, in truth, your complaints are:

-The character movement is somewhat sluggish.  (this is a solid complaint)

-It's not UC2. 

Okay. 

Anywho, The  N. Dog forums are currently in slight favor of retaining the health as is, which would be a godsend.  (Hell, I even noticed KylieDog on there already telling people they should "learn to aim" lol)

@Mirson:  There is a "hardcore" playlist in the beta that removes Powerplays, kickbacks, and boosters from the gameplay.  I would strongly recommend trying that list out.  (:

I think the same exact thing every time i see him on uncharted tv. well my actual thoughts were "the biggest douchebag on earth"

My thoughts go like this

-Character movements are sort of sluggish, and all speeds should just be upped or remove sprint and up normal speeds.

-Character health and weapon damage is absolutely perfect, we don't need another 1.05 patch. If you can't get any kills, get some fucking skills.

-Pistol is just ridiculously underpowered.

-Dragon sniper kind of sucks now but I'm not a sniper guy anyways.

-Recoil is ridiculous of AK47.

-Character customization is perfect In my opinion, maybe a lot more colors for clothing would be nice.

-Reticules were perfect in UC2, should've just stayed the same but oh well.

-Hardcore game type kicks ass

Beta, very nice, yes indeed.

Grenades need to have a longer timer. 3 team death match needs to become 4 team in order to further discourage camping (It usually ends up with 2 teams fighting, with 1 acting as fodder. The team that camps ends up getting an edge).

Kickbacks need to get more creative. The RPG is the only worthwhile Kickback. Turrets should be weakened very, very slightly. Some things that look climbable, should be climbable. The roll/cover button isn't responding as well as it did in UC2. I find myself rolling against a wall, rather than leaning against it.

My review is;
It doesnt work.
maybe the servers were overloaded, but this "beta" froze my system twice. I had to hard reset.
Between freezing, i would try and connect to matches and it just said connecting to players... forever.

I will try again, but jesus what a train wreck so far. Good thing they have a beta.

I like the kickbacks and boosters; the powerplay is okay in my books, but it gets pretty annoying when it occurs multiple times in a row. They occurred too often.

I like that the RPGs haven't been abused so far. I rarely see them.
