Uncharted 2 Multiplayer level cap increase live

Along with launching “The Lab” for the weekend this morning, many of you noticed that the level cap has been increased beyond 60 (X). This now makes the maximum level attainable currently in UNCHARTED 2 is now 80 and is designed by an in-game badge which uses the roman numerals XXX. You can check out the full set of level badges on the Naughty Dog Flickr photostream.

Each level beyond 60 requires accumulating $15,000,000 in cash to level up and that stays consistent throughout 61 to 80. That means you will need to accumulate a total of $362,965,500 to hit level 80.

lol to hell with that. It took me ages to get to 58 :/

BakedGoods5468d ago

It's great Naugthy Dog is still supporting this game. Usually unheard up for such a single-player focused game.

-Alpha5468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

Well, Single Player games tend to focus on Single Player content over multiplayer.

With UC2 they were done with the Single Player (contracts expired so they can't create Single Player DLC unfortunately), so it's all about the multiplayer.

The game is real fun and I love the Lab idea. They are trying to get people playing their game more. Double XP is the most popular way most multiplayer games use that tactic, but raising level cap and having new playlists is fun too (like Halo does).

I am excited because this week is Sniper's only Elimination. I'll be splitting my time between UC2 and MAG's double XP weekend.

OneSneakyMofo5468d ago

You know what's ridiculous? By the time you hit 57, you are only halfway to reaching level 60.

spunnups5468d ago

^^ ru seriuos? i will never make it

SOAD5468d ago

You mean in terms of the amount of cash you have to get? That does sound pretty hard, but those who get to level 60 will have earned it.

I wonder if you can boost in UC2 multiplayer. I haven't played it in months so I don't know, but in Halo 3 MP you can boost your way into becoming a general if you create a new account and lose several games on purpose initially so you can earn higher XP later on.

Redempteur5468d ago

something similar exist in white knight guild level system ..
But then this isreward are only for die hard fans ..
at least they upped the match rewards up to 75,000

RyuDrinksTheDew5468d ago

i dont think ill EVER reach 80. i love the multiplayer and all, but damn.

emil15468d ago

i have 92-93 million so i'm on 62 lvl

nikkisixx25468d ago

:( my online is dead because i havent bought any dlc.

Lilbambit5468d ago

...but do many people actually play this online still? is there a large community?

BiggCMan5468d ago

yea definitely. around 50k people daily which is great.

-Alpha5468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

It used to give Players Online, which averaged around 8000 Players at a given time.

I also don't know if the # of players is region-locked or if it's worldwidee

I'm disappointed the multiplayer isn't more popular, it's really fun. I usually don't have trouble finding games, but sometimes I get into games where the server doesn't find 10 players. It takes a little long to find games and sometimes the server will find you players only to drop them all out and restart a search, which gets annoying. They need to remove redundant playlists and tighten them up a little more.

I got the DLC's and they are both fun. It's a really overlooked Multiplayer game IMO.

So to answer lilbambit's question-- it's not the most popular multiplayer game (it was advertised for single player only, which I find unfortunate because the Multiplayer is solid), but you shouldn't have any trouble finding a game still. Hell, hit me up, I still play it alongside MAG and MW2. I'd love to have more friends to play MAG and UC2.

Redempteur5468d ago

The number is not total players .. it's actually less than that.
For what i was able to guess it's probably the number of people who might be able to connect with given your location

T9X695468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

Depends what you consider large. Back when I had the game before I sold it there was roughly 20,000 users or so online, but that was like 4 or 5 months ago. I wouldn't really consider it "large", as SOCOM Confrontation has around 10,000 and that game just blew monkey nuts.

OneSneakyMofo5468d ago

It gets as high as 70,000 some days. It's a good multiplayer game that I'll go back to once I finish my backlog.

Myst5468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

Yeah I just bought the Siege DLC and the bundle for Eye of Indra [for the skins mainly, but will look into it over the weekend]. It's a pretty fun multiplayer, stopped playing for what 4-5 months and I fell back in love with it again.

Snoogins5468d ago

My experiences, it takes me forever to find people to play with, usually doing DLC Plunder or All Competitive Modes. I'm willing to guess there are maybe 4-5,000 people online at a time, with between 50-70k overall daily.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake219d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo219d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot219d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno219d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake219d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77219d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack219d ago (Edited 219d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation219d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72219d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
