The Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Multiplayer Beta has been out for almost a week now and reviews are coming in thick and fast, most of which seem to show the current multiplayer gameplay in a good light. However, with these reviews have come two new videos which show some of the maps in play, online.

Plaza Showdown, the first of the maps shown in these new videos, seems to be set in a darkened courtyard. With broken walls, upturned cars and sandbags there is plenty of cover in this map. From what I can gather, the map is quite big and seems to include several side streets which all lead to the central courtyard. There also seems to be several floors to the level which will provide good spots for snipers. This map looks very promising and, if all of the maps are as highly polished as this, Naughty Dog shouldn't have anything to worry about.



The second video showcases a map named Village Firefight. Set in a village, this small map seems to fit in well with the feel of Uncharted 2 as, like the Plaza map, it also contains a lot of cover. Again, this map also seems to provide a vast expanse to roam and hide away in. The war-torn atmosphere to the map creates a dead and lifeless feel, with only the odd splatter of colour; usually provided by the fire. This map is also shaping up to impress and dazzle the fans.
