Not as deep as he thinks
Sorry, but I disagree with you. I don't feel like it's outdated at all. I strongly believe that weapon pick ups make things more interesting and more fair because everyone starts with the same set of weapons. It's a fair game from the very beginning and you have the option to pick up additional weapons/ammo wherever they are in the map. Not only does this lead to exploration of the maps, but it makes you learn the maps. I can see new players being annoyed because they don't know where all the weapons are, but that's easily fixed in a couple of matches and even if you don't get the general concept of where everything is, there's always cinema mode where you can explore the map at your whim by yourself. I honestly have never had any of my team mates complain because I pick up a power weapon like the RPG or a Sniper Rifle in my whole time playing Uncharted 2. Yes, there's some risk in trying to get them, but since it's a third person shooter, you have the ability to always check your surroundings at all times (thanks to the camera), making it less of a risk and more of a strategic attempt.Mooreberg said:

I would like load-outs and pick-ups.
Load-outs are what you spawn with and you can customize them to your heart's content; the pick-ups are there for ammo when you need it and to change weapons if you have to. The pick-up weapons are the default models/stats, custom ones could be picked up from enemies.
Power weapons would be pick-up and kickback only. No spawning with a Hammer/RPG.

Lets say there's 3 "standard" long guns and 3 "standard" sidearms. Each of these can be customized and they're part of your initial loadout. When you need ammo, you can pick it up from any like base weapon, no matter how you have customized your weapon. Power weapons (RPG, sniper, launcher) can be picked up on the map (hopefully with rotating spawn locations). Hopefully kickback weapons are single shots.
Yeah I liked the weapon pickups because it felt like you were always on even ground (save a couple of boosters) with other players. It felt like the people who did better were because they were better at the game. I would worry that maybe an upgraded starting gun or the upgraded boosters would make having put more time in give you a bigger advantage than in the Uncharted 2. But I am open to seeing how it goes. I mean if it is balanced right I think it will be fine. And upgrading stuff sounds fun.
So, I haven't read everything from this thread, but will power weapons be able to be picked up on the map? Also, do we have an idea of how many weapons will be available as starting ones for pistols and rifles?

I agree completely. Weapon spawns add more of a strategic element to the game, especially at the beginning of a match. When playing games with GAF in Uncharted 2 I'd generally rush the most powerful weapon on the map. most of the time I didn't even want the weapon more than I wanted to deny it to the enemy. Since you only drop your active weapon I'd always switch to the pistol immediately after picking up a power weapon at the start of the match. That way if I get killed at least I've denied the other team the ability to get something like the grenade launcher. Most of U2 GAF is good enough with the AK and pistol that it'd give us a slight advantage.Rewrite said:
Remixed the trailer with new music (no offense to that sociopathic electronic song)

Still waiting for the answer to my question, hopefully third time is the charm.
My question is whether you can still shoulder switch with L3 while aiming.

^^^
I would guess they have moved shoulder-switching to R3 and put sprinting on L3.
And if they haven't done that... they should.

At this point I'm just trying to get a yes or no confirmation from arne on shoulder switching while aiming, sprint they can put on either L3 or R3, it doesn't matter to me much.

Sprinting could be on the circle button as well, right?
Hold to sprint, press once to go into cover. Two actions, one button. Easy!

Circle sprint would be terrible.
Here's that link for the trailer with only sound effects. It's a big one (40mbps)

btw, why noone is talking about the new hero?
He is much better to see at the end of the trailer together with Drake and Sully.
Somehow I've expected a new guy to be an arabian due to the setting, but ND is more creative than I am.
Or is he not new and I've succesfully dodged this info until now?

I agree and this is also what I am expecting to happen. I think having the option to customize your load-out before a match is great. And if ND is looking for any suggestions as far as weapon selection goes, may I recommend adding a "Bow & Arrow" to the list? ...that would be awesome.
Game looks technically great, but locations thus far haven't really impressed me compared to UC2:s gorgeous locations. I don't really think that they can top UC2 location wise(Nepal, Himalayas etc.) and it was really the locations and artstyle that made UC2 such a great looking game, but hopefully i'm wrong

yeah most likely you will be wrong .. this is ND
I would like to see a lot more varied weapon selection this time around

Um, they haven't even really shown much (to my knowledge) to begin with so... maybe wait and see?

that's not the trailer - that's "b-roll" that is generally supposed to be used to cut over voiceover or interviews by sites that are creating their own video or going out on broadcast.
just fyi. it does have alot/most of the gameplay footage in the trailer though.

He did say 'thus far', we'll judge what we see when we see it. Personally I really like the locations so far, but to each their own.BrLvgThrChmstry said:

extended zipline
Kill a player with the RPG while they are sliding on a zipline.

Please, no stupid multiplayer trophies.
It was perfect in U2 with just completing 1 of each mode and then having dedicated MP trophies in the DLC packs.

No biggie, but why the heck didnt they put some sort of zipline handle? sliding down the zipline jus with your bare hand kinda ruins it.
RyanardoDaVinci said:
I agree with this.
I'm never good enough (or motivated enough) to get most of the multiplayer trophies in games. The 2 Uncharted games are the only ones where I got the platinum. (Almost got it on Infamous and A Crack in Time too. I'll have to go back and finish those up sometime.)

Arne are you going to answer my question? It's a simple yes or no.
Just finished watching the new GTTV footage.
Kick-backs look like kill-streaks in disguise. Even if they aren't achieved the same way, they will probably have the same terrible effect -- players will play selfishly to earn them (those associated with selfish actions). I wouldn't mind if k/d wasn't tracked in objective game-types, that way, even kick-back oriented players only benefit as much as the team does as a whole, but that will never happen.
Also, I'm glad they added that grenade cluster-bomb, because grenades were really underpowered in U2.

I never, NEVER want to go back to the way they were before.
That video just reminded me how terrible they were and how much people depended on them for kills.
That GTTV video does not load up for me. :\
