Froze on me once today. Better than v1.00 anyway at least.

Predictable from him though. Even I admitted that Gears of War 3 looked more polished, despite the fact I haven't played a game in the series or the beta itself. But as people said, Gears of War 3 is finished, Uncharted 3 isn't. |
Gears beta wasn't just about finding bugs (there were bugs btw)... It was about testing the dedicated servers (they are new) and finding balancing issues. Thats what a beta should be about.
I think Uncharted Beta is running smoother now, but it isn't anymore or less a beta then gears because both games went in with a level of unpredictability.

Gears had a lot more time put into it though, it is closer to an online demo rather than a "beta", especially when it comes to performance and graphics.

That's true. You guys should have seen the Reach graphics before the beta and when the real game cam out. There was a pretty big difference!

No. Beta is beta... there are no expectations in beta... it's for find bugs.
What is beta software?
After an initial round of in-house testing, software publishers often release new programs to be tested by the public. These pre-release versions are called beta software, usually denoted by a "b" in the version number, e.g., Firefox 3.1b2. Since the publisher cannot possibly test the software under all possible conditions, it is reasonable to expect that wider use of the software may uncover problems that were not discovered during in-house testing. The publisher expects to be notified when users find such problems so that the program can be fixed before its official release.
In general, you should expect to run into bugs whenever using any piece of beta software. These bugs may range in severity, from minor features that don't work to problems that cause your computer to crash. Before choosing to use a piece of beta software, you should decide whether the benefit of new features in a beta program outweighs the risk of program instability. You should also be aware that UITS does not thoroughly test beta software, nor will the software be guaranteed by its maker, so you should not expect the same level of support as you would receive for an official release version of the program.

It was still a beta so stop spinning.

That was uncalled for, what nerve did I touch for you to say that?
I don't care if it's labelled "beta" or not, one is ridden with bugs, the other looks like a finished game, yet people are comparing them and others are feeling dissapointed with the Uncharted 3 beta. I am just stating the obvious here, one is far more complete than the other, so it isn't fair to compare them and if people are feeling let down and worried that the game will be bug ridden, I am just reassuring them that the game is in early stages.
I have been completely neutral here, yet the first time I try and defend Uncharted 3 by saying Gears of War 3 is practically finished and you call me out.

Stating the obvious? more like looking for excuses.

If you have any problem or suggestion to Uncharted 3 MP Beta... please report it to Naughty Dog knows.
It's like a true beta test must be. Help to make Uncharted 3 a better game

You are trying to pass off that Uncharted 3 is at the same point in development as Gears of War 3, which is far from the truth. I have complemented both beta's and been nothing but neutral here, I have only criticised the Uncharted 3 beta but then I justified its shortcomings. The Uncharted 3 beta is nowhere near as complete as the Gears of War 3 beta whether you like it or not. Stop trying to pretend that they are at the same stages in development, it makes you look like a fanboy.
