Uncharted 3 multiplayer gets a new update which takes it to version 1.1.5. There are a lot of fixes and improvements and we have listed the notes below.

It will be available in all regions soon, Naughty Dog revealed.

“We’ve brought back Classic Mode, made some widespread changes to the Tournament system, and introduced a slew of other gameplay additions and tweaks. A full video recap of the changes will be posted this week,” they added.

Uncharted 3 was released last year and has been pretty successful so far. These notes were posted by Eric Monacelli of Naughty Dog on their official website. It may end up on the PS Blog too.

Patch 1.15 Notes

Deployment: Globally – October 23, 2012 at 7pm PST.

Matchmaking

Players will be appropriately matched according to Legacy level in matchmaking.

Team Balancing

Team balancing will now take into account players’ Legacy level.

Tournament

New gun skins for Tournament tier rewards will roll out over the next several months. The new guns skins this month are the Fireball M9, Dragon Sniper and FAL-SS.

New Shade custom pieces for silver and bronze tier. The new pieces are the Shade Gas Mask, Shade Belling Mask, Shade Headphones, Shade Dark Vest and Shade Biker Jacket.

Treasure drops can sometimes be tournament tickets

Progress towards permanent tournament prizes now appears inside of tier screen menu

There is a new leader board for single tournament scores

Players can see all Players’ Tournament Tier in the scoreboard during a match. This will happen only if the player is ranked in the Tournament

Spending a tournament ticket increases your treasure drop chances for that match. This also makes rare treasures more likely to drop.

Players will now receive a small amount of points based on their kills and deaths for losing during a tournament game.

Tournament formula change:

Winning

Points = [1000 + (100*kills) + (25*assists) – (80*deaths)] * [1.2-(party size*0.2)]

Minimum = 200, Max = 6000

Losing

Points = Points = [100 + (10*kills) + (2.5*assists) – (8*deaths)] * [1.2-(party size*0.2)]

Minimum = 100, Max = 500

In addition to patch 1.15 we’ve rolled out our Tournament FAQ page. This page will answer all, ok, almost all, of your pressing questions about the Tournament System. No, we don’t think we’ll ever add Wetsuit Elena or Pinkerton or Rika Raja skins as tournament rewards but the fundamental questions about what the tournament is and how it works will be answered there. It’s a living page so it’ll be updated from time to time.

So what do you think? We have more Uncharted 3 Multiplayer surprises to free up and let loose so get ready for some big news in the coming months. See you online!
