Yes, you get a huge penalty for leaving the game in mid match, that it's better to lose than quit.

Question about the online pass:
I got the Ellie Edition last week, finished single player, and now I try to redeem my online pass but it isn't working. I get the prompt to download all of the bonus stuff like the soundtrack and such but the code isn't letting me play the multiplayer. Is there a separate code for the online pass included? I'm traveling right now and only brought the PS3 and TLoU-disc with me but not the Ellie Edition-packaging - wrote down the one code I found before leaving home. Guess I have to wait until I get home if that's the case.

Yeah the preorder bonus stuff is a different code. The online code should of been printed on a piece of paper in the game box.
Cool, didn't know you were streaming. I'm watching now.

I hate this as well.
In fact, those games in particular are the only ones I didn't acquire the rations I would need. I'm on week 4 though, so I'm sure I still have it easy...
I use the crafter perk quite a bit in order to be able to give away items every 2 crafts. It's kind of neat that the bonus gifts that you can give away actually last between matches. So near the end of one match if you have it under control you can run around the map collecting supplies and crafting it all up to start up with a ton of gifts to hand out.

GAF rocking TLOU multi. Such great teamwork!
Is there a clan or something I can join? Loving the multiplayer in this. It's actually really different to most games. More survival esque than anything I've played online competitively. First ever multiplayer where running out of ammo is a very frequent thing, and running away in order to scavenge or craft is a massive part of tactics.
Anyone ever use boosters which let them buy new weapons? When you purchase these weapons in a game, do they stay with you after you respawn?
Anyway, my deets.

I love ND games and think they are best in the world, but I could not stand Uncharted MP. So I really wrote this MP completely off. Boy was that a mistake. They really nailed the MP and survivor mode is soooooooo good. I am getting dem SOCOM feels playing this.
It was such a smart choice to eliminate hip fire from this game. I do wish there were some objective based modes with no respawn. Though I am not sure how it would work. Awesome stuff though!

I searched you on the thread and didn't see you PSN ID! Or is it the same as your GAF username?

Yeah, this game is too fun multi.
That's to revive. In order to heal you need the lvl 2 first aid perk.
and you hold X near a teammate who is hurt.
No worries, I was getting quite tired and laying down on the couch playing at the end. Hard to quit this game.
Also sorry about IPOD-RPG-GUY. Dude is a talker lol. I met him a few days ago in a random match, he was actually really helpful and explained a ton of shit to me. He is a beast with all the healing and reviving though. Lots of matches I didn't die once.
Apologies for having to run earlier, good games, though! Will be on later tonight again.
Added!

IPod guy isn't a GAFer? Lol I thought that he was. Nice guy, I didn't mind the talking. He was really good.
82 Survivors now. None of which are hungry.
I have to say I'm really starting to empathize with
Tactics I've discovered:
Also, from experience, if you are trying to survive a marauder attack choose the execution requirement. It's a lot lower than the down requirement. I managed to reach the third tier down requirement, but it isn't easy later on in the multiplayer. It seems to assume that enemies will revive their team members frequently, as one player can be downed multiple times before expending a life. Really, however, they are executed quite quickly. Executions can only happen to a player once in a life, so the requirements are much more reasonable. Also, if you have to do the challenge, do it in Supply Raid.

Tactics I've discovered:
- When you're in a team, in Survivors or later Supply Raid, designate a hold up building. If you are the last, or the last two, you should both go there. Without sprinting. In Supply Raid, focusing the nail bombs near that location means that if things go awry, you have a place to go.
- If someone is downed in Survivors, and you aren't the only one who can see them, don't kill them. They tend to move towards their allies locations, and if you track them you might have an easier victory.
- Buddy system. Heal others when you can, as that allows them to keep shooting. If you are healthy and you are healing someone, there is less of a risk for the healing to be interrupted by being shot.
- Mark people with R3, it is imperative.
- If you are alone in Survivors, keep your distance and walk around the perimeter of the map. Again, don't sprint. Collect as many resources as you can (if you are the Last Man Standing, they tend to be higher quality), find a building, plant nail bombs and hold up. If you feel like you are going to die, run, find a medkit and rinse and repeat. This works best if you prepared a location earlier, or know where you are going to go.

Pretty much. I can maintain a healthy population of 100 with no problems, but once the randoms on my team become too competent, I can't earn enough.
To be honest, you're a killing machine.
I can envision you chopping off those arms of dead players to feed to your survivors.
The max is 13 at 7500 supplies.
Not really. They can be useful. I tend to save them for the random metagame events.
And yes, you keep the weapons you buy and the ammunition after re-spawning.
I think if you have additional supplies (like ammo), additional meaning more than you spawn with, you keep that ammo in subsequent rounds. If you have less, it defaults to the respawn ammo.
The Supply Raid, you keep all scavenged and constructed items. In Survivors, you loose you constructed weapons every round. I'm unsure if you keep bought ammo and weapons that you didn't use from the previous round.
To revive you don't need it but to heal people you do need that perk! And you press and hold X instead of triangle.
To give stuff to teammates you need to have crafting level 2 and craft at least 3 items (or is it 2?) before you can create a gift to give people, which goes in the weird box thing on the very top when you press the up on D pad.

I cannot get enough of this multiplayer, partied up with 2 other random guys after a good match of ours. We went 18 - 0 on a supply raid match. We won every single one handily after because we just working as a team. Still trying to grow my survivors after I took a huge loss, went from like 93 to 60 was lame.
