Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Multiplayer Forum is for posts about competitive and cooperative multiplayer -- anything else goes in General Discussion.
Played at lunch -- When I get home I am DEFINITELY playing as EDDIE RAJA and RIKA RAJA with those NADES
Those two blabber ON and ON when they toss ONE NADE much less 99!
99 Putos in the Plaza! One got blown to hell! 98 Putos to go!
LOL
Very hectic gametype! Constant camera shake, even when you are no where near them, I didn't realise they had such an effect.
Only suggestion I have is maybe including a counter to show how many grenades you have left.
Or include grenade pick ups on the maps. - After spamming all 99 of my grenades right at the start of the match I was left running around defensless because I couldn't pick up any more. Only option was to die so I respawned with more - not an ideal solution in a DM game.
Grenades only was fun though, perhaps I should just not spam them all at once.
Geez!
I wonder if one team will win because they discharged enough Nades in the Lab Match to EMPTY THE CHARGE of the other TEAM's DUALSHOCK 3 Controllers!!!
Could happen!
Overall it is a fun playlist but.....
1) The screen shaking during explosions hurts my eyes. I had to quit twice because my eyes were aching. Maybe lower the intensity of the shaking or remove it all together. I'm not epileptic but i can imagine somebody who is going into a full blown fit it was that intense.
2) Allow some boosters. Such as Invalid, Break Up, Glass Jaw. Boosters that won't drastically change the playlist (Nothing like S.A and Sure Foot)
3) Lower the amount of kills needed from 50 to somewhere between 25-40.
i've been playin it for the last 4-5 hours....i even got to party with 2 different ND guys....the lab is ok but i agree, it's the worst of the labs.....the screen is always shaking from the grenades....but i did manage a perfect game....wow, 2 in 1 week....and a perfect game in a grenades only match.....never seen that comin.

You need to make it's own playlist, you just have to ! ! !
When you do a Best Plays...it should be #

FYI, this play list might be the best opportunity to get the stealth kills for the Sneaky trophy. Really fun to sneak around people who are in aim mode and choke them out! I got 7 or 8 in the first 3 games today
I got that trophy earlier this week, without even trying. I got over ten of my stealthkills while using Glass Jaw and Come Get Some.. Now if only there would be a way to get your teammates to grab the treasure in Plunder and get them to walk with it instead of throwing it so that I can get the final 10 (yeah, I don't have any yet..) Protectorate medals I need for the trophy, everyone's happy. Pistols Only Plunder didn't work, now come up with something else please..

I played one Grenades Only match today, and that's all I needed to make up my mind.
First of all, I'm very glad you decreased the time limit to ten minutes, I can't image having to play twenty minutes of this. I don't think it would've mattered if you had taken away the goal of 50 kills to win, because I doubt many matches will end early because a team managed to get its 50 kills within ten minutes.. Well, parties of five could do the job, but you don't run into those kind of people that regularly.
Second, my grenades didn't seem to kill anyone. Seriousely, there was one guy who I heard grunt five times because he got knocked down. Only goes to show how weak the grenades are now. Even with 99 grenades I couldn't manage to kill nine people. Don't tell me it's my aim, because it most certainly is not. I know how to handle grenades and I places almost all of them right. I guess it's not that hard for people to avoid them if you hear them coming. You can roll away from them half a second before they explode and you won't even get knocked down, that's how weak the grenades are now.
I ran out of my grenades one time, yeah, and what should I do then? Go around meleeing everyone? Let me tell you, that won't work if they have 99 grenades to knock you down with before you can even come close to them. Their grenades won't kill you, but they'll knock you down. A guy's eighth grenade killed me, after he had knocked me down twice times while running away from me. How am I supposed to kill people without grenades or any other kind of medium/long range weapons? Of course, if I would've lagged really badly like 10% of the people I meet, I would've meleed the guy from thirty feet away, but unfortunately I have a good connection.
Something else I want to complain about is the fact my camera wouldn't stop shaking. Come on now, everybody's trying to throw his 99 grenades as soon as possible in a desperate attempt to kill a couple of people, five explosions every two seconds results in a camera moving around so much it made me dizzy. Glad I found out the camera didn't shake, as long as I aimed down the sights of my empty pistol. If only I could use Fleet Foot so that I would've been able to move around faster than a dead snail.. Too bad there weren't any boosters.
Disabling boosters, ugh. I'm sure it must've been possible for you guys at Naughty Dog to disable only Sure Foot or something, I couldn't use my BoHs, I wasn't even able to make a bit of money in return for the worst ten minutes I've ever spent playing this game (yes, it was even worse than waiting for matchmaking to find a match).
I ended the match with 15 kills and 8 deaths. My team was leading with 47-32 the moment the match ended because we ran out of time. So we had 47 kills, but the enemy team had 58 deaths. That's 11 teamkills and suicides in one team, in one match. The fact nobody got kicked truly amazed me. Or have you disabled kicking teammates for this playlist? I guess not, it's probably technically impossible, like everything else.![]()
I'm glad there are playlists other than The Lab, because this gametype was the worst thing that has ever happened to the game. It wasn't even good for a laugh or two. It got boring after eight seconds and if one of my PSN friends invites me to their party and wants to play The Lab this weekend, I will remove him or her from my friend list. I'm not kidding, I'm dead serious. I rather play MW2 for ten hours straight than play three more Grenades Only matches.
So that was my opinion. The playlist wasn't as bad as I thought. IT WAS TEN TIMES WORSE!
comedy and chaos is all I can say to describe this mode. definitely do not play this mode to level up. there really is no place to hide. I tried hanging from places ( just out of melee reach ).....that doesn't work because some grenades seem to stick. bunny-hopping and rolling don't help either. running around constantly and in every direction helped, but that too only works for so long. 13 kills is the best I could muster. I was able to get a stealth kill ( neck snap ), but I was also pulled down, kicked off, and shield-whacked to death. this mode is great for laughs and that's about all. my tv screen was shaking so much that it made it hard to target the other team. oh well, I gave it a go and had some laughs, but I probably will not play this too much. thanks, NaughtyDog, for trying new ideas and supporting the mp.
