Now that the Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception multiplayer beta is underway, the Playstation Blog has a post up with a video from the developers along detailing what features you can look forward to.
In addition to a new set of boosters, the beta will prominently feature a new buddy system-one that will pair you with another player on your team at the start of every match. You'll gain cooperative bonuses for working together with your buddy and you can also elect to spawn on your buddy should you not want to randomly spawn. While you are automatically paired with a buddy-whether or not you work with them is up to you.
There's also a beta FAQ on hand detailing what you'll be able to use and unlock in the beta, along with a playlist schedule.
