Uncharted 2 has multiplayer, co-op

via Eurogamer

Sony has confirmed that Naughty Dog's PS3 action sequel Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be graced with online multiplayer modes, including co-op.

At a preview event in Los Angeles last week, attended by Eurogamer, Naughty Dog surprised the press by showing deathmatch and 'Plunder' competitive modes for teams of five, and three-player co-op maps based on - but separate from - the single-player adventure. It's a departure for Uncharted; the first game was a strictly solo affair.

Plunder is a capture-the-flag variant in which teams of "heroes" and "villains" compete to find treasure and lug it to safe spots. Deathmatch is a straightforward race to a set kill count.

In the co-op mode shown, players battle through a level dominated by intense combat, occasionally teaming up to overcome physical obstacles.

There will also be a cinema mode similar to Halo 3's Theater, allowing players to record replays and direct the camera, and a linked website offering stats and leaderboards.

Uncharted 2 will have a public multiplayer beta test. US PS3 owners can get access by buying a copy of inFamous - Sony says it will be doing something similar in Europe too.

Call me stupid but, I am pretty tired of games implimenting Multiplayer....It seems the Single Player in most games lately has been so lacking >.>
And online trophies are always annoying BUT
IF the Single Player is still amazing, or as great as the first I don't care and I no one else should honestly.

Plus if the Multiplayer is actually fun, then that's a definite plus.

I agree. RE5 followed the same path and it severely compromised singleplayer by adding a useless character following you around the whole game..

But if ND keep SP and MP off the same road, Uncharted 2 maybe could stand a chance against the first

Oh gah, Sheva was a huge moron sometimes, too busy shooting to help keep me alive >.>
If it was just Chris it would've been vastly better, but the lucky difference with this is(I think I missed this in my first entry) that LUCKILY Co-Op isn't on the story. So hopefully the majority of the time was spent on Single Player, which it's not that I don't believe it was it's just SOMETIMES the MP can take away from the SP is all.
