PS3 owners will want to stay home on Black Friday. Why? Naughty Dog is releasing the first downloadable content for
Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode this Friday, November 27. A title update will add "The Fort," a brand new multiplayer map supposedly based on the "Fortress" chapter of
Drake's Fortune. According to the press release, "The Fort is a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes." There's a shotgun in the center of the map and an RPG in the crypt (the inevitable resting place of people on the wrong end of that weapon). Best of all, this update will be free.
Once the patch goes live at 1PM ET, Naughty Dog will also initiate a Double Cash weekend. Teams will have special skins in competitive matches: Doughnut Drake for the Heroes (pictured above), and Doughnut Lazarevic for the Villains.
See a video after the break.

Lol. Terrific 'shop.

That's not a shopped picture, that's in game...
Mein Bratwurst @ Nov 25th 2009 3:15PM
You've never played as Doughnut Drake have you?
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Nov 25th 2009 3:31PM
I thought you guys were pulling my leg, but I looked it up. That's pretty cool. I never was one to try to 100% games though.
Eh @ Nov 25th 2009 5:01PM
this game is racist against fat people
Ballistic H @ Nov 25th 2009 5:51PM
@ Eh: Fat people formed an ethnic group?
S. Tiger @ Nov 25th 2009 8:34PM
I would think that it glorifies fat people. See, Doughnut Drake doesn't run slow.
The Baron @ Nov 25th 2009 10:14PM
On the one hand, I'm reassured by the people voting for logic. On the other hand, I'm disappointed by the people who voted after having failed to spot the sarcasm.
Solace @ Nov 25th 2009 3:10PM
PLEASE tell me the skins are optional!
Eroded Fallacy @ Nov 25th 2009 3:12PM
Most likely not, for the Halloween weekend we were stuck with Skelzor
RogerFH @ Nov 25th 2009 3:50PM
wtf, we get a new free map for Uncharted 2 and you complain about the skins... seriously
Spam @ Nov 25th 2009 3:11PM
This better be free for us non-murkans too.
Eroded Fallacy @ Nov 25th 2009 3:11PM
Yes! I'm so looking forward to this, Happy Holidays to Endgadget & Readers and hopefully i"ll see some of you on Uncharted 2 this weekend ^_^

I wish today was yesterday, then I could use a clever remark & have an excuse to say FAT TUESDAY!!!
Ballistic H @ Nov 25th 2009 5:56PM
They should add Sixaxis man-boobs jiggler like Tecmo did for the chicks in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Trico @ Nov 25th 2009 3:14PM
I haven't played Uncharted 2 multiplayer for a few weeks now, can somebody tell me if there is still cash penalty for quitting a game, even if it wasn't your fault? (Internet stops, PSN disconnects, etc.) Thanks.
The Pirate @ Nov 25th 2009 3:19PM
Yes and its why i traded my copy in. Ive already done everything i can do in the single player, gotten Platinum and so on. That fucked up online gave me no reason to keep it.
Chris @ Nov 25th 2009 3:22PM
Awesome, one less cry baby quitter to play with.
Marius Returns @ Nov 25th 2009 3:23PM
serves you right for playing online with a bad connections, damn laggers
The Pirate @ Nov 25th 2009 3:23PM
Im sorry but Taking away a whole level AND $40, 000 (which is roughly 260 kills) every time my internet conks out is pretty fucked up.
The Pirate @ Nov 25th 2009 3:25PM
Because of the area i live in i cant get a great connection. On top of that i have 4 PCs using my internet for Work. I barely ever disconnect, but if i do i dont want to lose a level and 260 kills
tmacairjordan87 @ Nov 25th 2009 3:34PM
Yeah it does have a pretty shitty online system, and the actual play isn't really fun either. Too bad, cause the single player was great.
handlas @ Nov 25th 2009 3:43PM
no prob with the online...its very fun. Between Modern Warfare 2's MP, Battlefield BC2 beta, and this. I've been spending all of my time with Uncharted 2's MP. It's fun, similar to Gears of War 2 MP but has it's own nice touches like the platforming. Nothing beats it!
The penalty for quitting I'm sure is directly related to people complaining in the beta about quitters. If one team starts losing, everyone on the other team immediately quits out. I'm glad that you idiots are penalized. I'm also glad you traded in your game and miss out on the DLC for being a rage quitter, a whiner, and someone that can't appreciate a good game. Good bye.
tmacairjordan87 @ Nov 25th 2009 3:47PM
The only whiners I see here are the people defending a bad online game.
Marius Returns @ Nov 25th 2009 3:52PM
sure tmac, sure....
The Pirate @ Nov 25th 2009 4:28PM
Errm im a rage quitter? I fucking Platinumed the game! So fuck you!
Steven @ Nov 25th 2009 4:44PM
There's no more cash or rank penalty when you quit now.
When that first happened to me I didn't quit another game for a few weeks. I've quit a few games since then and nothing has happened.
Darkfocus @ Nov 25th 2009 4:50PM
some of you guys are Pricks. wireless internet just came to my area and I'm paying 80 bucks a month for 1.2Mb/s(its supposed to be 3Mb/s but I never get it) it because its the best available in my area and I got High speed entirely so online games would be playable. As much as I like U2 I can never make any progress in it because of its ridiculous penalty's for dropping out and its not even my fault(not to mention it's the only game that drops on me probably because ts P2P). I've also had match's in co-op where the next wave refuses to spawn and everyone can still talk to each other and move around but no one wants to be the first to quit because they don't want to be penalized so we just end up sitting there for a f**king hour waiting each other out until some one quits.
Fu22y_Pumper @ Nov 25th 2009 6:03PM
There is still a penalty for quitting, however, if you quit out then play through at least one more game before quitting out of the game entirely, you dont get penalised. For some reason the servers only catch it if you quit out of the very last game you played, shut it down, then go back into the game, then you'll get the "we noticed you didnt finish your last game" message and get 40000 taken. You do not lose a level though, unless the 40000 drops you down in cash under the level range you were currently in. For example say you have 1,000,000 and you're level 30 and level 30 starts at 990,000, you lose 40,000 drop to 960,000 you are now under the starting point for level 30 so you drop to 29. I'm level 50 and it takes 1,000,000 to get from level 50 to 51. I'm about 750,000 into it so when I lose 40,000 I dont drop a level. And yes I know for a fact the penalty is still there despite what the other guy said, because I just had it happen yesterday. Also to one of the above posters, not everyone that quits is a rage quitter, some people actually have lives outside of gaming and things may come up that makes them have to leave like taking care of the needs of a child for example. Don't generalize everyone like that.
kentuckyfried @ Nov 25th 2009 6:37PM
"however, if you quit out then play through at least one more game before quitting out of the game entirely, you dont get penalised."
That's good to know as a fact. If I decide to bail, I just need to make sure I play at least one decent, non-quitting around after that debacle.
Fu22y_Pumper @ Nov 26th 2009 12:41PM
@kentuckyfried I never quit out of a game based on my performance. I've had many games where I cudn't seem to get in a groove and didn't do well, and still kept playing. The only reason I ever quit is if one of my friends comes on and invites me, or if I'm trying to get in one last round before work, and end up not having quite enough time to finish that round. So for one of those instances I keep playing, for the other, I don't. That's how I figured out that the penalty works that way. I hate when people quit because the game isn't going their way as much as anybody, you just can't always assume that's the reason. I actually enjoy those games where I get my ass handed to me because I learn from it. If you never accept a true challenge you'll never get better.
handlas @ Nov 25th 2009 3:22PM
just got the game a few days ago....what a treat for meeeeee! (was in beta tho)
BananaBoat @ Nov 25th 2009 3:21PM
It's great to see a company reward paying customers instead of sticking it to them at every chance. Thanks Naughty Dog.
Ryan (xbl: NDRyan57 psn id: NDRyan57) @ Nov 25th 2009 3:24PM
This game is amazing. It's my game of the year!!!
tomlinson731 @ Nov 25th 2009 3:34PM
I was hoping for some new co-op stuff but this will do and the price is right!
Youthinized @ Nov 25th 2009 3:36PM
Awesome I love free DLC! Gonna be playing this friday!
Now they should make maps of the Train level in uncharted 2 and the Church level in the first uncharted. Those maps would be really badass!
profeteer @ Nov 25th 2009 3:49PM
oh man an MP map based on that train level would be insanely awesome. They'd probably have to pull some tricks to keep everything synced up tho.
CaramelZappa @ Nov 25th 2009 3:37PM
Gotta love DLC done right. (Free)
sk4r @ Nov 25th 2009 3:39PM
How the times have changed... Free DLC is now a pleasant surprise (instead of expected)
el1pulpo @ Nov 25th 2009 3:41PM
Naughty Dog rocks.
Freakwincy42 @ Nov 25th 2009 3:56PM
dude! i totally called this MP map! i'm pretty excited about that, check it out- http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/04/pax-2009-uncharted-2-limited-edition-announced-you-cant-buy-i/ you have to scroll down about halfway to my comment, but i absolutely called EXACTLY this happening.
den-69 @ Nov 25th 2009 4:33PM
Good call mate.

FUCK!!! MY PS3 fan is dead!!!! FML....
Paulmichael @ Nov 25th 2009 4:09PM
...but there's also a double XP weekend for Killzone 2. Way to force me to divide my attention, guys. This couldn't wait until next weekend? It is Killzone's birthday after all. :)
Pat @ Nov 26th 2009 7:33PM
How is it Killzone's birthday? K2 came out in February and K1 on November 2nd 2004.
Paulmichael @ Nov 27th 2009 10:04PM
The developers explained that they celebrate the birthday for Killzone as the European launch, given that they are based in the Netherlands.
MattyMc13 @ Nov 25th 2009 4:12PM
I was going to play Killzone 2, seeing as how they have double XP this weekend, but now that Uncharted 2 has it as well that changed everything!
den-69 @ Nov 25th 2009 4:24PM
So this is the fortress from Uncharted 1?
Looks just like it in the video.
