Disagree.  As a big multiplayer gamer myself the problems with The Last of Us in multiplayer does not surface from slow gameplay.  Especially when you can run straight through bullets for the broken melee system.  So no.  Gears of War is a much better approach to it.  You have the ability for different playstyles whether it be slow or fast.  Most of the problems with TloU comes from weak weapons, with a few OP including molothovs, shotty, smoke shiv combo, broken melee system, and armor that makes weapons even more useless.  The maps are also piss poor quality with very little strategic placements.  


Define "run through bullets". The only way you could run through bullets is if you are already close to someone and attack them before they could get over 2-3 shots off. Otherwise, you would be killed trying to rush someone.

It takes 2 shots from the arrow/rifle to down someone (one headshot). About 4-5 shots from the semi-auto rifle. And about 2 bursts (I think) from that short-range burst weapon (forgot what it's called. No one uses it). That does not seem weak to me. 

What's broken about the melee?

I agree that the armor should be removed, but that's my only problem from a gameplay standpoint. 


2-3 shots is too much for a bow and sniper. Most of the time 3 due to armor.  Though sniper can be 1-2 shots to the head.  Once again the piss poor maps alters the sniper to be mostly close-mid range other than 2 maps (snow map and the damn.  Not sure of the names)

pistol and any other weapon takes 4-8 shots depending on armor non-armor.  Ridculous.   Since the game ends up being mostly close to mid-range combat (once again from the horrible map design) just run through the first 2 shots and melee and hope you have more health ( or if you have some op melee weapon). Also making the shotty way to powerful since it is the only reliable weapon in the game.

There is almost no strategy in the game other than sneak and get up close to the enemies.  Good multiplayer games allows for options.  Melee should never be the first option either seeing as bullets>fist.
