Naughty Dog Outlines Uncharted 2 MP Tweaks

28 Feb 2010 at 17:36:28 by Andy Alderson

Following the announcement that Naughty Dog is listening to the feedback about the recent Uncharted 2 multiplayer patch, the developer has announced more upcoming changes.

In a post on its official site, Naughty Dog revealed a number of tweaks it is thinking of implementing in the next patch. However, it was keen to stress that the proposed changes are not guaranteed to go ahead.

It seems the main community complaint - that it’s too easy to kill enemies by shooting them in the legs – will be addressed, with decreased limb damage under consideration.

The proposed changes:

• Auto-shoulder switching
  We’re thinking about removing this entirely and/or adding a toggle to your online profile. 
  
• Medals being obscured when you have been killed
  If you happen to get medals right as you’re killed, the scoreboard comes up and you can’t see the medal and cash award. I think it’s safe to assume we’ll address this.
  
• Limb damage
  We’ve been testing out changing the hitboxes so that shots to the limb require require damage than torso hits or headshots to dispatch your opponent.
  
• Grenades 
  We’ve been looking at different adjustments to grenade damage and radius to see how those adjustments fare.
  
• Boosters 
  We’ve been playing around with balance adjustments to some boosters.
  
• Glitches and exploits
  This is a little bit of an on-going process, but addressing these are definitely things we’re working on and have been updating consistently over time.
