I didn't realize that people did. While I personally like Uncharted 2 more than 3, I still think that 3 is a great game.

This is the first that I'm hearing about this. Is there somewhere that I can read the whole story?

I still need to play Uncharted 4, and The Lost Legacy.

As stated in Nolan North's book "Uncharted: Drake's Journal," Amy Hennig had originally planned to have Charlie appear throughout the entire game, but had to write him out of the story due to Graham McTavish landing a role in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit (thus having to move to New Zealand for the role). This is the only reason why Charlie broke his leg in Syria.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

There is certainly a very vocal contingent (on GAF/Resetera at least) that is never shy about voicing their utter hatred for UC3. As with most things with that community, it's pretty binary.

As for UC4, I'm really digging it. Madagascar is incredible so far.
