Uncharted 2 multiplayer adds rematches, clan tags with title update

A recent PlayStation.Blog post contained great news for your ragtag group of trained virtual killers: an Uncharted 2 title update which goes live later today will add Clan Tag functionality to the game's multiplayer component, allowing you to proudly display your team's four-letter moniker before your PSN ID. Sure, this isn't exactly the full clan support that your clan might have hoped for, but it still lets you represent. Isn't that what really matters?

The update's other features, which include quick rematches for online games and hastened load times, can be found in a list after the jump.

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

yay much needed rematch feature! can't wait to hop in, hope my clan tag isn't taken though, sadly I'll be the only one in my clan yet again....lol

I had a glitch in 1.02 that made some parts of the game not load at all. Walk into the next room, and there's no floor. Seems 1.03 fixed that.

"Load times have been decreased significantly"

SWEET.

Is it live now? Oh i can't wait to enjoy these new features. Ntm the double cash weekend coming up ^_^

Maybe I'll pop in my copy for this, it's been a long time since i've played UC2.

finally "players met" works after this update.. never worked for me (PAL version)

The fast load time is awesome, loving this new update

My biggest issue is that after the game is done, it just stops, everyone leaves, and you're left to go find another game through matchmaking.. I wish that they'd just go to the next map in the cycle (or call for a vote). a 30 second intermission or whatever, so players that want to leave can...

this, and the quit penalty are the main reasons i never play this online anymore. i was level 39, and now i am level 36... you can lose levels a whole lot faster than you can gain them.

Perhaps you should stop quitting in the middle of match, and you won't be hit with the penalty. Happened to me once, and I've since learned my lesson.

You can "party up" with the people in your match and then you will stay together. I think you press Triangle (it's been a while since I played).

I should mention I only play co-op survival....

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to game for hours on end without interruption. I unfortunately have a shaky internet connection that will drop periodically, resulting in lots of "your rank has decreased" messages when I start the game up again.. It's quite frustrating, to be working towards level 40... but going in the wrong direction.

Yes, you can party up, but it's quite rare that anyone else does this, maybe it's common in the competitive modes, but in co-op, it barely ever happens.
