Uncharted 2's Silly Multiplayer Penalties
buzski | 11:50 PM on 03.02.2010 3 comments




So I was playing Uncharted 2 tonight, after downloading the new map pack. I must say I really like the two new maps they've put up for DLC, as not only are they only 3.99 (or 5.99 if you wants the skins as well), but they are very well balanced and have a unique feel to them. I was disappointed by these maps whatsoever. What I was disappointed by and actually I should use the word frustrated, was how god awfully slow the servers were today. One connection error after another, so I decided maybe I should restart my PS3 and disconnect my computer from my router (thinking it was my own internet). But this made no difference at all and from talking to other players, they were experiencing the same issue. Okay, maybe it's just a bad night to play and the servers are just acting retarded, I suppose this happens every so often, right? That's not really what frustrated me, although it was the beginning of my annoyance. What really frustrates me, is how those folks at Naughty Dog didn't put a system in to address these sort of situations and I'll explain what I mean. Suppose you have some chump who just sucks in a certain game and quits out. Given the game only includes 10 people or less, they should be penalized, that's alright with me. However, when it is the servers crappy connection that kicks me out of the game, rather than me quitting myself, I shouldn't receive the same penalty. That is a bunch of BS. Two games in a row where the servers just suck and I'm charged $10,000 and my rank is lowered because of it? WTF is that? Naughty Dog claims to have such an advanced game, yet they can't change their system to differentiate from a person quitting to the servers ending an entire match and kicking people out? That is what I call frustrating, at least when I play Modern Warfare I get to keep my level if I am kicked out, but with Uncharted they LOWER my frickin' level, this is just ridiculous. I hope Naughty Dog can fix this crappy system before my frustration leads me to playing another game.

I don't own a ps3, but Gears of war does differentiate between that. However when most people drop out they just disconnect their ethernet cable. Counts as a lost connection, and no penalties. But yeah Naughty should get on that.

i think its fine the way it is. being disc a few times and being penalized for it isnt as bad as people pulling out their ethernet cables everytime the team starts to lose a match.

I don't get people caring about the W/L ratio or K/D ratio in an FPS game >.>
