Awesome. I was going to trade it in tomorrow too.

Wonder what MP tweaks they are bringing.

These are the big ones but there are more

  • When reviving a teammate, your range has been increased.
  • Item bin locations have been rebalanced in some places.
  • Special executions can now be halted by teammates.
  • Matchmaking has been improved.
  • Item spawns have been tweaked to not give teams too many items.

Of course, is why the problem is even acknowledged by ND themselves for UC2, 3 and LoU, but their reason for not wanting to add a filter is "Because players in some parts of the world would have probems finding matches or worse performance during the matces".

In other words, ND would rather the bad countries ruin it for evryone else.

Except it doesn't ruin it for everyone else, infact you're the first guy to have a problem with this that i've heard about. I'm sure there's more of you, but you're clearly a small minority. The mismatched rankings were another story, but now that's fixed.

Years of ND forums will show you otherwise.i

I frequent those forums, and i can say with full confidence that those forums have by faaar the biggest whining, self centric, arrogant, entiteled coummunity i've ever seen in human history. Its absolutely disgraceful. They single handedly ruined both UC2 and 3 MP with their constant whining and complaining about''balance issues'' and now they are desperatly tryin to ruin LoU as well. Unfortunately, they are very vocal, so ND listens to them all the time.

Kilzone Merc has Interrogation mode.

googled "naughty dog forum connection problems". Got quite a lot of threads, most with few replys. Almost all were about connecting to factions and mismatched ranks, very few on in-game lag... you could always cite some but still, the majority of players get along fine with only occasionnal hiccups, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular and i wouldn't have a ton of people on my friends list who play it for hours at a time, all the time, including myself.

Forums, where 0.01 % of the games population reside, real scientific data there lol. Go to any forum and tell me what you see...sorry but that is simply a fail argument.

Naughty Dog acknowledge the problem, so this dismissal of complaints nonsense you try to achieve has no worth.


Didn't say there was not a problem..said it was small scale. LIke 2 pages ago. Find me a game that doesn't have a problem especially with it's online? So much for nonsense.

Google better.  Trying searching region or ping filters, lots of threads, lots of kudos to them (meaning lots of agreeing).

If people made threads everytime they had none to few issues they'd outnumber those 100:1. Every popular mp game has issues a minority will exerience and tons of threads are created, they aren't representative of what the majority are experiencing.

Case in point:

#3 sounds awesome, I hate when someone is executing a teammate and I kill them before they do it but my teammate still dies. I wish they would extend that to other areas too. For example, if someone is charging at me with a one hit crafted melee and they start to swing but I hit them with my El Diablo and down them, why am I still downed even though I was never touched? It blows.

Matchmaking being improved is a definite need, the game has shitty shitty matchmaking imho. I hope #5 isn't a way to penalize the winning team like U3 had.

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.
