This is the moment we've been waiting for since we heard the words spoken by Ms. Fischer: "Clowns?" Cut to credits, right? And this is the week we've been waiting for since the Spike VGA's this year when a teaser was shown for Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception. The week is finally here and we've gotten some hands on time with the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta in which we we're able to venture out into the wild with gamers like ourselves and just have at it. But, was the Beta everything we'd expected when all was said and done? Is Uncharted 3 to become the definitive multiplayer experience of the year Naughty Dog have been toting all along to really become the Big Dog?

| Can It Compete With the Pros? |
With the hands on time that I've had with Uncharted 3 so far, I think is has a really good chance of holding up to play along with the big dogs. I mean, I wouldn't consider myself really a huge multiplayer gamer yet, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a game that here I am two years later and I'm still getting online and gaming with friends. I have no other multiplayer game in my collection in which I can say the same for. I'm wracking my brain trying to remember my first Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta experience and nothing is really coming to mind. But, if Uncharted 3 is in fact Naughty Dog pulling out all the stops for the Uncharted 3, then Uncharted 3 will definitely be the definitive multiplayer game of the year on PlayStation 3 for me.

In the period of time I've played the beta, I think I have played two matches in 2D while the rest I threw on the glasses and have played in 3D. I was completely surprised at how it changed the games experience. This was actually my selling point to getting a 3D HDTV. I'd been holding off for so long skeptical of 3D but, when you play this game in 3D, it totally chances how you play and I think its much more beneficial. I'm able to gauge depth much better and, to me, it feels as though its much easier to tell which allies are closer or how much closer I'm getting to nabbing myself a treasure. Also, just the depth and how things pop, I can't figure how people aren't blown away with 3D. You often hear, "Its not the reason for me to rush out and get myself a 3D HDTV" but for me, yes! Most certainly. Its much like playing the 3DS in high definition on a 40" plus size screen and if you move your head, you're not going to lose the 3D experience. I absolutely loved it and its a great new way to play and most certainly has its benefits. The downside is that you do notice a little bit of a resolution drop but nothing so drastic. 3D in Uncharted 3 breathes new life into the game.
As far as gameplay goes, its definitely an experience of its own. It has its bugs to be worked out as I when I first jumped on, it had booted my from the games telling me I had been kicked for "killing my own teammates." But, I hadn't even started the game. Some of my buddies were mentioning that the game would freeze up and their PS3 would reboot. Rebooting is also the result of exiting the beta which makes you wonder what that's doing to the hardware itself. I've also found on several occations, one particular in my most recent run through of Co-op Arena, that when I'm CQC with, what I guess is a pirate of some kind, he just stands there while I'm standing right next to him and swinging frantically like a drunk man missing every shot. So, I have to back-up quickly or roll out of the way and then fire a few shots and then hit him.
One of aspect I found some frustration in was trying to drop from a ledge to catch a foe but, my character would hang onto the ledge and I'd have to push circle to drop and had some difficulties there. It wasn't until much later that I'd learned you could hold down the circle button and you'd keep falling.

The Airstrip is great! I love the design and can't wait to see more levels like that. I think I'm not the only however in hoping that it isn't Naughty Dogs only stage that's designed that way and that there's a whole lot more to come like it. Its most certainly taken me time to learn how to play it best but, I'm growing better and better at it and those I've played with are loving it equally as much.
The Co-op Arena multiplayer I'm still trying to form an opinion about. I like how they've tried to change up the gameplay of Survival in mixing it up, and perhaps it'll just take some time to learn the stratagy of it, but I honestly have to say that I really like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Survival Arena much more and I'm hoping they keep that mode around along with the mode they have put together for Uncharted 3. The level design of Uncharted 2 seemed to work much better for me. The change-up is nice, but I prefer the old-school style.

The buddy system is excellent and probably the most popular thing I've heard from others I've played with and against. Its a great addition to the game to taunt your enemies with and gain some more cash while you're at it.
The beta is off to a great start! We can't wait to see what more Naughty Dog has for us. As much as I'm loving the multiplayer, its the singleplayer I'm looking forward to the most, at this point and may not be far off from getting to pick up the dualshock and giving it a test run. The game looks beautiful and I can't see to what singleplayer has waiting for us.
Keep checking back with us as we post more on the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta as well as all things Uncharted, PlayStation and gaming as keep you inside the XZONE right here.
