I love it! Im rank 22**\\ < only lost 3 matches on release day but ever since my crew got it we sweep every team that gets put against us.... This multiplayer is all about team work and cooperation which feels fresh.

xPhearR3dx3959d ago

I absolutely love the MP. My only complaint is shotguns at point blank range should really be a one shot kill, mostly due to the fire rate which is very slow. I can't count how many times I've blasted someone in the face with a shotgun from 2 feet away, only to be killed by a melee weapons. Other than that, the MP is amazing. Maps are great, real-time crafting is simply awesome, and you really do need to work as a team to win.

It's actually one of the few MP games I've been hooked on. Most of them I get bored pretty quickly.

Raccoon3959d ago

I rarely encounter shotguns but we usually mark every enemy so we know what weapon they are holding.... We kill people from far away and let them crawl a little so he can guide us to the direction of his team. To be honest we easily annihilate any team that seperate and the only challlenge comes from teams that work together and even then we destroy them because we never run and all of us have silenced weapons..

The best feeling is when we distract the enemy team with slight sprints and shots while one team member flanks them with a crossbow and litterally downs all 4 one by one, then we all share the special executions :0)

xPhearR3dx3959d ago

No I don't mean people with shotguns, I'm saying if someone happens to sneak up on me and I blast them with a shotgun, instead of them dying in one shot from point blank range, they take two shots, and with the fire speed being so slow, an enemy is able to kill you with no problem if equipped with a melee weapon. Thankfully, it doesn't happen all the time so it has become an annoyance, but when it does, I want to pull my hair out lol

@pheared

I know what you mean. And from what I've gathered playing tlou multiplayer is that the best thing to do is use both a crafted item and then follow up with a firearm or melee. The guns are all actually too weak to use on their own, which is probably the point. Of course team work wins every time, but you can still get far by being clever and combining items with guns in a planned attack.

@feared
Damn i guess i deleted part of my sentence which explains thats why i barely see shotguns in the game... I tell you what though if you aim for the head within a 10 foot radius its a one hit kill.

@veneno
I cant stress enough how the smartest team work always wins because i sometimes see noobs that rush every supply box together and look like a football huddle gathering the supplies which in return get killed with a molotov or a trip bomb.... And the weapons are very well balanced in my opinion! The crossbow is the most powerfull yet hardest to master with a 1 shot to the head to kill and 2 shots to the body to kill, then the molotov is the most powerful crafted weapon with instant death if thrown on body....

I have 13 loadout points and i run silenced semi auto rifle with max reviver and max first aid training because keeping my team alive is as important as killing the oposing team...

Well through my countless hour of splinter cell, im pretty good at shiving people like..... Seriously i shiv alot of people...... I love shiving :) makes me complete

Raccoon3959d ago

Shiving is fun as hell but i dont risk it and kill from a distance...

DEEBO3959d ago

teamwork,teamwork,teamwork! this game comes alive if you play with a good team.i love it! my team ambush the other team when they come looking for us. it's a thing of beauty.

cyclindk3959d ago

Seeing/hearing through walls makes it broken for me as well as no infected mode at all, they could have at least implemented a hardcore no seeing/hearing aid mode.

xPhearR3dx3959d ago

I'm 90% sure there's a perk you can equip that doesn't allow you to be seen by that. In all honesty, the drain is so quick and the recharge is so long, I haven't found it to be a problem.

Hicken3959d ago

At least complain about something that's ACTUALLY an issue.

Grimhammer003959d ago

Seeing through walls lasts 4secs. And then recharges. It's tactical...not broken.

Sketchy_Galore3959d ago

I almost never play multiplayer but I'm playing a lot of this. I love the fact that its not simply twitch shooting crap and actually demands some strategy. Having said that I would give it about the same score as this simply because it needs far more modes. The two kinds of deathmatch are amazing but some kind of mode involving infected or at the very least some variant on capture the flag is needed to make it a perfect score, however perfect the mode we get is.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast81d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs78d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast78d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs77d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast77d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer81d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6981d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger125d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2381d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid125d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast125d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
