Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception beta details released

Uncharted 3: Dreake's Deception, one of the most prelude PlayStation 3 outgrowth. Developer Naughty Dog already teased a information of Multiplayer beta few months ago.now they’ve explained what gamers can expect on June 28th, when the beta begins.

If you purchased Infamous 2 and you got a voucher for the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta, then you’re in luck. You’ll get access to the beta on the first day, June 28th. Everyone else will be able to get in on the fun on July 4th. The beta will run through July 13th, and players will be able to experience nine multiplayer game modes on two maps. You’ll be able to create and customize your character, whether you’re a hero or a villain, and even play Nathan Drake himself in multiplayer, if you choose.

Fans of traditional multiplayer gameplay styles will get their favorite modes in the beta. Team deathmatch and free-for-all deathmatch are included, as is a three-way team deathmatch mode where three teams of two players each face off. There’s also an objective based multiplayer match, where teams compete to finish objectives assigned first while stopping the opposing team from completing their own objectives.

The beta will also include some new gameplay modes, including “Plunder,” which lets players compete to capture a treasure, and “High Stakes,” where players can gamble with their experience points and money in a game where the winners take all. Developers also teased a number of co-op multiplayer modes, but didn’t want to release details too soon, especially with E3 coming next week. With luck, we’ll see campaign or mission co-op play.

The Uncharted 3 beta also throws a bone to losing teams in multiplayer matches that are simply being hammered by the winning team. They’re called Power Plays, and just like the hockey term, they’re meant to give a losing team a leg up on the winning team so they can get back in the game. Power Plays only last for one minute, but while they’re up, they can turn the tide of the match. For example, in the “Marked Man” power play, a person on the winning team is marked, and the losing team gets three points if they kill him. The winning team gets a special medal if they keep the marked player alive, and double cash for everyone on the losing team they kill. In the “Exposed” power play, the winning team’s position is revealed to the losing team.

Uncharted 3 also includes Boosters, just like the previous games. They’ve been modified a bit to give you experience if you use your boosters, both in multiplayer and in single-player. Most of the boosters in the multiplayer beta include abilities that allow you to modify weapons, get back at the person that killed you last, reduce your respawn time, and even get extra ammo when you taunt an opponent you just killed. That’s only the tip of the iceberg: the Uncharted 3 beta also includes new weapons, new character customization option and more.
