Uncharted 3 Multiplayer details revealed
Beta coming in June, access included with Infamous 2 copies
New details have been revealed about Uncharted 3 multiplayer. Two new competitive modes have been announced, along with the perennial favorite Team Deathmatch. One is Three Team Deathmatch, which is a small-team 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 variation on Team Deathmatch. The other is the oft-requested Free For All – with every player out for themselves.
Late Join has been added to make it easier to get into games quicker. It ensures that matches stay full, that you can get into matches faster and you can get into your friends matches faster if there’s a slot for you, instead of waiting for your friend to finish their current round.
The developers were able to not only implement same-console split screen, but also the ability to log into two independent PSN IDs for most gametypes – the ones you can’t are to prevent unfair collusion between players.
New to Uncharted 3 multiplayer is character customization. Both heroes and villains skins will have a hundreds of customizable parts, from accessories to shirts and pants to a deep weapon customization feature.
With weapon customizations, it goes beyond the cosmetic. The game will have weapon mods that not only change the look of your weapon of choice, but they are functional too, adding precise scopes, bigger clips and more.
All of these customization and modifier options allowed devs to extend the in-game reward system. No longer is everything tied to level gain or cash. During matches, you’ll have the opportunity to get items from treasure chests on the maps. You’ll also be able unlock a wide variety of items and modifiers through Missions. There are two types of Missions – some are instant missions and others, accessible from the Multiplayer menu, are more long term. Instant missions can appear in the middle of a match and provide a target that you can complete within a few matches tops. The Missions you select from the Multiplayer menu will take significantly more time, days of playtime possibly, and the rewards will be accordingly more significant.
Co-op is also found in Uncharted 3 multiplayer and it too has been vastly expanded upon. However, at this time there are no further details.
The Multiplayer Beta for Uncharted 3 begins worldwide on June 28, 2011, with early access for PlayStation Plus members or by purchasing specially marked copies of Infamous 2.
