So you have to be stealthy even in the multiplayer huh. I think I'll likely prefer Uncharted's multiplayer due to the faster pacing, but that shouldn't stop me from enjoying TLOU's multiplayer!


You can run...you'll just get shot quicker, thats all. People are using listening mode like 35% of the time to find out your positioning. Generally when someone spots you they mark you.

I think you need to be stealthy and play the game slower until you learn how to play it, learn the maps, and learn the weapons. But once you know them you can play the game any way you want. Stealth is nice but a lot of times, good old fashioned aggressive play beats it.



Sweet, that's likely what I'll eventually be doing then hehe.

But if I run at sonic speed, then they wont see me lol! But yeah I'll try to be smart about it. Like J_Allard said I just need to learn the map so I know the best routes n stuff. Oh, and what do you mean by they'll mark me? I pray it's not the dog's method of marking things. :L

You click R3 on an enemy in your crosshairs and you mark them. You can equip a perk that makes you immune to marking though.

Yeah, If you run where you can be seen and  a seasoned player spots you they'll input an command on your tail and you'll be on the map for everyone to kill.When they spot you the command will respond by yelling out "Suits" or "hunters". From this point on you get the hell away.  It is important to learn the map though.  I run around from time to time, but only when I am far away from the enemy.

Around what level do you unlock the perk because I havent used it yet?



J_Allard on 30 July 2013

My plan when I am the last one left is to sneak up to where the enemies are and place traps to set up an ambush. A vast majority of people who play this game seem to get way too confident when they outnumber the last guy 2 or 3 on 1 and are incredibly stupid. It is always the same thing. I set up a bomb behind me so they can't sneak up on me unawares, a bomb in front of me, then I shoot at one. One or two will always rush, and one or both will always get downed by the bomb. If one is downed by the bomb I immediately target the 2nd and down him. By that time the first guy that was downed will crawl back towards the other guys, letting me know exactly where I need to aim my molotov.

That works a lot when no communication between teams. I always play with my trusty partner and we know to check corners when last guy is alive. The last guy is loaded with traps and molotovs lol. If we know the last guy has set up shop we just wait it out and win it by default. No need in giving the guy kills or the win.
