The Last of Us Factions Multiplayer is Still Fantastic

Edit: The Last of Us standalone multiplayer has been cancelled. Another victim of making everything an awful live service game. What a healthy and perfectly normal industry. Original Comment: Apologies if certain sections sound weird. I developed a cold (and yes, it's just a cold(EDIT: NOPE TURNS OUT IT'S COVID GODDAMMIT)) towards the end of making this. Currently drowning in those hot lemon medicine drinks. Hope you all like the video! After Iron Lung blew up I was nervous about what to do next as people might want just more horror games forever. There will be more in the future, but I do like all sorts of different genres. More videos to come, and hopefully not too far away... illness depending.

I geniuly didn't know this game had a multiplayer until the first remaster came out. And, from what I heard, I'm surprised the sequel to this day doesn't have a multiplayer at this time. Especially when the whole story includes two very obvious factions (Scars and Wolves)

Spent my whole teenage years playing this. I’m still surprised no one talked about it back then. This and Max Payne 3 multiplayer had their issues but the fun still heavily outweighed the problems.

The most underrated multiplayer I've played in my lifetime. I can't tell you how many story-worthy moments I had playing this game back in the day.

Best slept on multiplayer experience of all time. I still heavily enjoy it to this day and it just never gets boring.

Some of the best moments in factions were the ones where it was 1 v 4 and the other team has way more lives. I was able to clutch a TD game by holding out in that one room in university. Basically went bunker mode and was able to win with the shotgun, molotovs, and bombs. Good times.

This is such an underrated gem! Community still going strong 💪

I need factions 2 desperately. Factions was so freaking fun, really unique experience

i’ve made it to lvl 999 and as someone with so many hours on the story i can say it’s one of the better mp modes i’ve played in the last almost decade

I remember having a lot of fun pvp’ing but the matchmaking was always imbalanced. It didn’t help when higher leveled players just had more traps unlocked and options to engage than newer players

9:58 idk why i laughed so hard at the moment you got molotoved while opening the lockbox.. probably because it happened to me 752 times

Thank you for bringing light to this games multi-player. This games multi-player community was amazing, I always loved seeing uploads from Valkyrie 887 and even Nick eh 30

This mp does better stealth than any other mp game. Also there’s no dodge button but the way movement is designed on the analog you can preform some dodges that are so rewarding when you master them. No need for gadgets just pure skill. You can really create your own style in this game.

I honestly had no idea LoU had multiplayer, much less multiplayer that was so well done it's still being played. This was really interesting.

Whenever Factions 2 finally drops, I fully expect it to be a tremendous hit on a level that fans of the first Factions could only dream of. I personally think it was super smart of Naughty Dog to separate it from the main game because of that, too - it’s obvious that most people experience a level of “The Last of Us fatigue” once they’ve completed the stories to these for the first time, so dropping the second game’s ~25 hour campaign with the multiplayer already included probably would’ve been equally as bad for Factions 2 as it was for the first Factions in the long run.

Years later I still play this game all the time. I main bow and crossbow and it’s just such a satisfying game to play and relax.

I LOVED this multiplayer mode!

My favorite multiplayer experience ever was this. Totally brutal, spent hundreds of hours in it. The satisfaction when i first hit 300 survivors in that base system was immense.

I remember goofing around with friends at full parties, playing hide&seek or just doing 3v3/4v4 matches altogether, we had rules like no throwables or tactical shotgun, such great times. We were all really good at the game as well

I was 9 years old when this came out and i remember watching my dad play this in our 'gaming room' and finding it really interesting with being able to craft in a fast paced multiplayer (considering i was a cod kid) core memory from when my dad was getting me into games.
