Naughty Dog confirms Uncharted 2 'Experimental weekend'

Naughty Dog has revealed that it will be offering a Plunder Only playlist this weekend for Uncharted 2’s multiplayer component.

In addition to above, the developer also confirmed another temporary tweak, where players will find their health dropping to approximately 65 percent in all game modes. Note that while this bares resemblance to the Crushing settings, Boosters will still be at your disposal.

Better mark it on your calendars, folks – the Experimental Weekend runs from 6pm today until 7pm Monday, December 7.

    Leave it alone for god sakes.  The damage inflicted is perfect.  I'll play this all night Saturday.  My prediction will be two things.  Angry people and games that last 1/3 less.

    Health should have been reduced to 80 percent. 65 percent is waay too much of a reduction. This isn't call of duty. And I do believe that the current health is too high. So 80 percent would have been good

    Haven't touched Uncharted 2's online functionality since they introduced that sodding penalty system.

    Nice, I guess I'll finally go around to using that Plunder-specific Booster :).

    @16: Too bad, your own loss :).

    @6 COD is a shallow, arcadey game for people who like that stuff, which is most people.  It has the eye candy that they like, and there's little-to-no strategy.  You play with others, but teams are just window-dressing as you don't really need anyone for anything.  A military shooter with teams, but you don't have to so much as talk to anyone (which includes even more people for mass popularity).  The only people COD EXCLUDES is anyone looking for MORE tactical experiences.  If that's you, you are the minority.  COD is popular, and liking it is not a matter of right or wrong.  Please let this be the end of that arguement.

    If CoD was a PS3 exclusive everyone on this board would be going crazy about how realistic and tactical was and how much team work mattered.

    @ 19.  Agreed and @20 - very true!

  22. Sackman23

    • 4:12pm EST - December 4th, 2009

    @20 VERY good point.  it really is all about perspective. but whatever just  enjoy whatever game you play no matter who likes and who doesnt.  its all meant for you to have fun.

    and not worry about REAL LIFE problems lol

    @ 19 agreed.  great summary and thank you...however, "competition" still remains greater in MW2 and that was my statement in #6.

    Why is everyone talking about COD? This is U2, a completely different game, yeah cod is fun but it's not the greatest game iv'e ever played, it isn't the be all and end all of games I don't understand all the hype around it, jeez

    Anyway I don't have U2 yet but I played the beta and it was alot of fun, I didn't have a problem with the way the health was either, unless it has changed since then? anyway I shall be picking this up soon :D and seeing everyone online :)

    I thought it wasnt going to work but seems 65%health seems to work quite well. It really makes you pay more attention and react faster.

     I hope they keep it, I like the change

  37. princevegeta1980

    @34, I don't have much time to play and I want to finish the single player story before trying online!
