I’m actually moderately excited to play. I started playing Uncharted 2 multiplayer a couple months ago for the first time, despite having no interest in shooters (I’m not good at them!). I received Uncharted 2 as a part of my PS3 Slim’s bundle, but never invested more than fifteen minutes into the game.

Fast-forward six months and I started watching some competitive Call of Duty matches on YouTube, which were surprisingly interesting. Watching those videos made me want to play an shooter online for the first time in around 4 years (the last one I played was COD:3). The only online shooters I owned were Uncharted 2 and Medal of Honor, both of which came packaged with my PS3 and were mostly untouched (MoH was actually still shrink wrapped).

I knew Uncharted’s online had a good reputation, so I decided to give it a shot. Conscious of my inability to play shooters well, I went into my first match with no expectation of killing anybody. I was my team’s top scorer. After a couple matches, I was somehow managing to score more kills than high level players I was being teamed up with and against (I later came to the conclusion that those players must have been incredibly bad, but had been playing for quite a while (although I really wasn’t that bad at the game)).

I played Uncharted 2 multiplayer for the next few weeks, managing to level up to somewhere in the mid-twenties. I surprisingly enjoyed the experience, but have since put it away to play other games (like inFAMOUS 2 and Dragon Quest IX).

I never got the chance to play Uncharted 2 with any friends, because they had all had their fill of the game back when it launched, so I’m looking forward to playing the Uncharted 3 beta with a few friends. Hopefully I don’t suck at shooters again!
