Anyone of you play The Last of Us: Factions... the DLC multiplayer?
I thought I only had the two hour preview than I read there was a code in the game to redeem. Redeemed it last night and the thing is addictive. Not sure how I am going to stop playing this thing.
I don't think Factions is DLC -- I played multiplayer quite a bit on PS3 and PS4 without needing anything besides the base game.
It's definitely original and I give ND credit for coming up with multiplayer that isn't just the standard TDM or horde mode. I played almost exclusively as a dedicated medic and actually felt like I was helping my team out by keeping people patched up and spotting enemies.
And, you have objectives. You might be in week 1 and you have certain things you need to do. Last night I was in week 6 and had 3 days to kill, at least, four people using a molotov (you can pick what your goal is going to be). I was so close a number of times but I came up short... game over.
Pick easy stuff like spotting enemies, healing teammates and crafting/gifting items. If you pick the right perks, it's nearly impossible to fail these if you make the slightest effort at them. The first time I picked healing, for example, I think I satisfied the requirements on my first life of the first game.
