Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Multiplayer Forum is for posts about competitive and cooperative multiplayer -- anything else goes in General Discussion.
THIS TOPIC WILL BE UNLOCKED WHEN "THE LAB" BEGINS THIS WEEKEND.
“The Lab” is open from Friday, August 6, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?) through Monday, August 9, at 10:00 AM PDT (what time is that in my city?).
Co-op Crushing
Co-op Crushing takes the Co-op Arena matches you’ve gotten used to and makes them much harder by giving you and your teammates Crushing level health. That means at about 80% your normal health, you’re a much softer target for the wave after wave of enemies trying to dispatch you in Survival or stop you from capturing the treasure in Gold Rush. We suggest that you find one or two more-than-capable teammates to get the most out of this “The Lab” variation of Co-op Arena!
The active maps for this weekend of “The Lab” are:
Please note, our original schedule stated that this episode of “The Lab” would have both Co-op Objective and Co-op Arena modes. We’ve since learned of an issue that prevents us from including Co-op Objective into this episode of “The Lab.” It works out better anyway since Co-op Arena does not have the selectable difficulty setting which Co-op Objective has.
You can also leave comments on the blog post for this episode of "The Lab."
In case you haven't noticed yet -- "The Lab" is open!
Hey Arne, are you and th other admins getting owned by the AI too?
It's a good thing to have different difficulties. If this is a test to see if these will be added to the next game, I think that would be a good idea. I think co-op should see alot of changes in the next game, it doesn't get the love competative multiplayer does. I'd love to see seperate playlists for modes because I would love to play Survival most of the time but end up playing Gold Rush the most and I just have to go with that. Gold Rush is great, I love it, but you have to depend on your teammates much more and even today, alot of people don't always get it.
But as for a Lab game I just don't see the point because you don't get any extra points. So I'll probably just play regular co-op arena and have more chance of getting to round 10. I play co-op all the time so I'm fairly good. Didn't struggle too much until the guys with shotguns came out, then they just downed my teammates at around round 6. So it's really tough and would make you change your strategies, but that all depends on your co-op buddies. If they go running and gunning then you're screwed.
If it's possible to add this difficulty and be rewarded with extra points for playing it on Crushing then I'm all for it.
i would've loved this lab like crazy if it was available 5-6 weeks ago. after i hot level 60 i retired from co-op but i'm glad to see co-op getting a little love in the lab.

It's very rare I don't get owned around round 7-9 in co-op arena without these settings. It'll just be more for certain I will now.
you know what, i think i'll gve it a try tonight..just cause The Lost City has always been my fav map and i never ever lose survival when i'm playing that map.....the waterfall gives you al the protection you need, so i'm curious to see how tough it actually is. i know how tough the objective maps can be on crushing but i honestly don't think i've ever played a game of survival on crushing....of course that will al depend if i can convince a couple friends to roll with me...no way am i gonna attempt crushing with random people, i dont trust people i dont know.
I love coop and play it a lot. But I haven't noticed any difference between the lab and the
normal coop.
But as it´s there I will play it thru the weekend.
I think it's great that the lab is on with coop.
The laboratio this one well, but podria to be mas worn out, my opinion is that little money is gained by a lot of played time and there are few maps.

but would be good if you could increase the money you earn in this seeing as its harder.

It's much more difficult now, but there's really no need to play it cause the money is the same as Co-op Arena. I would have liked it more if you got more money.
We looked into providing a bigger cash reward due to the risk but it was't technically possible. I agree, that would have been ideal.
