I'm patiently waiting for a horde mode.  ND needs to make this happen.

Horde mode in the Last of Us? LOL Dude....as long as there are runners and clickers in that game it would keep you on your toes even more than Gears of War. If a clicker comes near you run like you never have before. I don't know how well horde would work in a game like this because it has limited ammo and clickers can only be killed with weapons, so if you're stripped down and low on ammo you're fucked. in Gears of War horde is less about survival in the beginning, but as the difficulty of and waves increase things get harder. In a Last of Us horde mode rounds would take much longer. and would demand more teammates.

You make a lot of good points, but it doesn't change my mind.   Plenty of ways it could work.  I'm not sure how Gears of War does it, but I was more thinking along the longs of Zombie Mode in Black Ops.  Naughty Dog would be able to do it way better.  Have the first few rounds with really weak runners, then have progressively stronger runners, then have stalkers and what not.  There's a lot of different ways they could do it.  Maybe they would have to get rid of limited ammo, or they could keep it in and have bonus rounds with humans and restock.  Maybe have some sort of chest to store more ammo, that you'd pick up.  

Yeah, for your vision to work they would have to up the ammo in the game. If they don't have larger ammo, the ammount of gamers per map should be capped at eight. It would be so cool if like COD you could create a panic room and rack up money to upgrade weapons and fund buying planks and artillery by killing zombies as the pile up trying to get into your safehouse. Gears is already doing something like that for the upgraded horse mode in Gears 3, but it would serve the Last of Us better.
