In an attempt to keep that fresh, new game smell on Uncharted 2, developer Naughty Dog will be implementing some "experimental" changes to the game's online multiplayer modes this weekend. First, a new playlist comprised solely of Plunder matches will be introduced into the mix -- a filter that the community has been requesting since the game first launched. Second, for this weekend only, all players' health will be reduced to 65 percent. It's a side effect from the game's "Crushing" difficulty setting, which the developer thinks could ramp up the speed and intensity of multiplayer firefights.
Naughty Dog is asking for feedback on these temporary changes, so if you're not a fan (or, alternatively, if you're a superfan) of the new playlist or diminished health capacity, drop a comment on the studio's blog.

Can't say I'm a fan of 65% health, but i'm willing to try, might be fun.
Please Naughty Dog.... filter button for Elimination?

Can't wait until I get this game over Christmas break. I love the first Uncharted and the Beta had me hooked.

65% health is going to be bad. think about how annoying it's going to be running from grenades. those ones that make the screen go grey will just kill you now.

Yes i also have been waiting for the sole multiplayer list of only plunder forever now. I hope they can make a playlist that consists of only certain type of game modes like.
All plunder
All Turf War Etc....
I dont really care for the elimination games you barely rack up any points in those games any way and also i would like if there was a back out button to back out of games while in the lobby. Its not fair to play a game with unfair teams especailly when a party comes in and there all the same rank.

The Plunder playlist isn't a temporary experiment, it's permanent. ND said so on their blog.

i only play survival as it stands now..
the competitive modes don't really feel as intense as the moments in survival.
or maybe it's that i'm just no good at them...

This sounds good. It takes a little too much to kill someone in MP. If they made the health more like MW2's health I think it would make it a little better. Don't be mad at me for saying that. I love U2's MP as it is. But you do have a bit too much health.

i played tonight and the 65% health is a tad too much gone (i got killed by blind fire from a sniper rifle. thats a little ridiculous), but the 100% health is too much as well. they are bullet sponges at 100% health. so maybe like a 80% or so starting health would be the best option.
