UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception - Multiplayer General

[canadian94eh]

This is the Ultimate Thread for the Block Mesh Maps (BMM) that have and will come to the Lab, instead of multiple threads on the same topic, keep the discussion here...in this thread:

-you can discuss the newest Block Mesh Map and how it compares to those before it (which is your favourite?)

-it also serves as the go to place for anyone to notify the rest of the community as to when the newest Block Mesh Map / Lab is available for play (ND might have their post a little later than it's release time) i will supply a link to their blog post once it arrives

-i will provide some gameplay of each Block Mesh Map once a video becomes available (the videos i pick are random, but i prefer without commentary)

-i will list the current and the upcoming Labs, as well as the next Block Mesh Map (with its description), and the next double cash weekend (all with their respective time slots)

-see the Block Mesh Map schedule and the double xp and/or the rare treasure drop schedule at the bottom of this post

-the creators of the videos shown on this post are credited at the bottom of this post

This thread is a good idea, but it will probably die due to useless threads

[shadowlibraboy]

Anyways, I will be th 1st to post some feedback

Mesh map 1- Great map, until ND ruined it with the stupid ugly wall and the ledges to climb up. This made me hate the map.

I really hope we get 2 versions when we get it in custom games

I shall be second.

Mesh Map 1 - HATED IT. Mostly due to the fact I never did good on it, too many sniping campers, and stuff like that

Mesh Map 3 - Haven't played this one yet, but I feel it looks like a playground. It goes both for CQ and LR sooo I think I'll like it.

And for Mesh Map 2

Mesh Map 2:
I would eIther get a lot of kills, or a lot of assists. Felt like old quarter

ya lol i didn't like block mesh #2 either, other than the cqc, it was pretty plain; not much too it

i'm kinda debating on whether i liked the first map better or the newest one

[shadowlibraboy]

I still haven't tried mesh map 4, but it looks awesome, as I really want to play on it

But it need to buy a copy of U3 first

[kratos_snake__]

I noticed there was white text on a yellow background, too bad I can't read it :/

[kratos_snake__]

Ignore that. My ipod screwing up again

I have an idea, what if when you have to vote for a block mesh map, it could give you the choice of night or day instead of 2 of the same map. I thought this would be really cool!
