Today, Friday, December 18, 2009, at 10:00 AM PST (what time is it in my city?) you will be required to download an update to UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves.
Below is a list of what is different:
- Added Version number to game menu – should display 1.03 after this update
- Added Clan Tags – all players can now add a custom four letter Clan Tag in the Profile Menu (square) to display on-screen before their PSN ID
- Load times have been decreased significantly
- Added “Rematch” functionality
- Adjusted some Boosters for balance
- Addressed issue with Player’s Met screen in game menu and XMB displaying incorrectly
- Addressed issue with Double Cash not doubling medal cash rewards
We’ve also made a slew of other changes to improve player experience.
I spoke with our multiplayer lead designer, Justin, to give us the lowdown on what’s so great about a few of these updates. Justin quickly shot me back an e-mail with the following info:
- Clan Tags is an addition we’ve been working for a while on. While it’s not full Clan support, we wanted to be sure that everybody can fly their Clan colors within UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer. Support for this is available to all players from the very beginning and can be edited within the player Profile menu – the same place where you choose your boosters.
- We have significantly decreased load times. You will notice that the game loads into a map much faster after leaving the vote screen. This will help get players into games faster and keep people playing instead of waiting in the menu system.
- We have also added Rematch functionality. At the end of a game, all players will be put back into matchmaking together, allowing you to play the same group of people over again. This decreases wait times, while still allowing people to leave after a match if they so desire. Again, this gets people into games faster and allows more time playing and less time in the menus – all of which is a very, very good thing!
Haha, clan tags! Awesome! Thanks, guys. =]
Awesome!
Win.
The rematch feature was the number one thing on my list. Nice job!
i think you guys should support ingame launching for home.
i tried launching it from home and all the people launched it didn’t show on the party section.
Good deal! Rematch feature is nice.
Naughty Dog, you have done it once again. Awesome job… I can’t wait to get home from work later tonight and play a few rounds.
Love The Franchise got 100% at both games and all 4 episodes Bought ! ;)
Am so gonna take a brake from MW2 online and jump back to some good old Uncharted 2! This is what might get me away from that addicting game :)
Really Great !! ;D
By any chance will the next map pack that was announced to release soon be free? Or will it cost? Also, if it costs will it include any new trophies. I was also wondering if any new co op stuff would be added?
I was wondering if the next map pack, announced to release before the end of this month, would be free? If not, will it include more trophies * I hope it does*. Also, will you guys be adding any more co op stuff?

You are just going to go from one addicting game to another really lol. Uncharted’s online is freaking amazing. I really just wish there were a few more online trophies. The 2 online trophies they had were wayyyyyy too easy to obtain.
You just made a great game even better!! AWESOME!!
Any chance you guys can do the same for the Single Player as well???? Also there are some minor problems with Drakes hands kinda going through objects when climbing…..
As well as the AI on the lower difficulties tends to just stand there and shoot you and not take cover at all. It takes them like 12 seconds to get that your even shooting at them.
And yes more Co-op stuff please!
Yes!!! Now where is some more DLC?
We\’re not ready to announce our DLC plans yet. There will be more news on this relatively soon though.
