I think more important than your individual load out is the team makeup. It's really awesome when you have 2 medium range assault style guys teamed up with a support crafter/medic and a long range sniper.
The matches where we would spam smoke bombs on the other team then go shiv and 2x4 on their asses where pretty amazing.
I'm not sure if it was you but there was one game on checkpoint where me and another guy where pinned in a room. Threw smoke out so the guy decides to rush in, we were waiting on either side of the door and right as he came in we simultaneously hit him on the head with 2x4s.
So much fun. I think even better though was the few games we started falling behind, got serious and came back to win. Teamwork > all in this game.

Exactly as it says, it's a mode for non-parties.
I sincerely am worried that this will split an already small population even further, but I understand the need for it.
I just really want an objective mode more than anything else.

Supply Raid. The final four of us remain, against the enemy team. The final day.
I needed one revive to ensure that only 60% of my population got killed. Otherwise, all of them would die a day before extraction. I run towards my allies, but they are gun down as soon as I can see them. All expect one.
He gets shot. I run after him, and I'm just able to revive him. We both die, but I managed to save my people.
Damn, I'm not sure if I can invest in the minigame anymore. It's extremely stressful.

I'm hovering around a pop of 100, I need to score minimum 4K+ to keep them alive every game. It's only possible if I use collector 2 and play with incompetent team members.

Anyone else having issues of just randomly being dropped from a game? It messes with my survivor stats and it has happened to me about 3-4 times.
TimeEffect

I think if anything, they should have just ONE Mercenary playlist that alternates map voting between a Survivor and Supply Raid option
Four playlists in total should be perfect: Supply Raid, Survivor, Mercenary, and an Objective Mode of some kind + Co-op DLC.
I wish ND would show us the online population for this game. Cant believe they didn't advertise the MP, it's really good!
Agent White

i'd love it if that was what we got. i think a lot of people expected co-op to be mp, but we didn't get it at all which is weird.
i'm loving the mp. it took me a while to get into marking people but now i'm marking fools like crazy. it's great that i'm getting something for doing it but i really just love the feeling of ruining the opponents spot.

ND adding TWO mercenary modes?? A bit excessive if you may.. They should add at least a objective based survivor mode with different objectives each round.

Can you shoot an explosive/molatov/smoke bomb when its in somone's hand or in mid-air?

Yeah. Was kicked from session on the last wave (that's 2 or 3 time already).
"Lost connection to the host"
Who the fuck is host?
TimeEffect
Member
Explain.
I've lost connections for party members losing their online. Very annoying and unfair that it boots everyone out in a party if one of your friends loses connection
When a team starts winning it REALLY starts winning. Armor, upgraded weapons, access to most of the supply spawns on the map. It can piss quite a few people off.
What week are you on? I'm wondering how long it takes.
Week 9. I kind of cheated though and I messed up a couple survivor gain challenges.

Gave this my first attempt today, enjoying the multi a lot. Glad it's a lot more tactical and people seem to work together more (even without headsets) than compared to other online shooters.

I really hope they introduce a Uncharted type mode. No showing up on radar, Infinite Sprint, More Bullets, Higher Damage
Make it non-canon and call it a day

Can you purchase the upgrades during the match and it doesn't effect the supplies you end up with for your clan?

Good question. I know you can shoot a molotov in someones hand in SP, I would like to think it is in MP as well
Gaf you gotta get your best crew together and give it a go against our crew. We have yet to lose a single round with the 4 of us, just DESTROYING people.
That sounds like a challenge .. oh, it is a challenge.
I'm currently trying to perfect the art of getting headshots all of the time. I'm sure there are people willing to accept your offer. Not me though. Haven't lost a single round? Yeah, I don't want to mess with that.

Sounds awful. Why not just play Uncharted 2/3? The levels aren't really good enough for a huge sprint fest, shoot-a-thon.
Dreamer RD

And if there are no friends in the party? When they leave, they just leave (*USERNAME* leaves the game) without ruining the whole session. Host shit is different.
Sorry meant to say match... or round... or game. We've lost individual round, but never lost a whole match
. Would love the challenge though.IHaveCandy

I wish there was something in the multiplayer that introduced zombies a little bit. Maybe every once in a while, a runner/clicker/bloater would wander into the map and could be alerted. They could make it rare enough and with no notification so that it's a bit of a surprise when it happens.

Uncharted 3 multi is free in the store, go play that

I'd like this, dynamic zombies. Everyone choose to work together or continue fighting while facing them. Out of nowhere 5 runners show up and all havoc breaks loose. Do I shoot my enemy as he is taking out a zombie? Shoting in that direction, will it make the zombie peruse me, giving my opponent the upper hand. I'd make for some interesting matches.

hmm not for me, I was playing with my brother and he was still playing after I was booted.

Eh... if anything, I don't know why armour gets more expensive the more you buy it. That seems to contribute to lopsidedness. But I do think that if a tam REALLY starts to win, it's because they simply outplay. A losing team has to think more defensively, especially with bomb traps, and loadouts. Before the in-game currency system, the loadouts are what can really shape the game.
No thanks. The MP is very competitive and intense as is. All the focus is on constantly eyeing out the enemy and staying on your toes. Maps are small enough that any action, be it executions, shooting, marking, etc. need to be in haste and in rapid succession. Clickers would ruin that.
The MP, contained in itself, is very competitive.
A co-op mode is a missed opportunity, but clickers should definitely not be shoehorned into the competitive nature of the game.

I think I'm done with the MP in this game. I keep trying it , and I keep getting matched up against really high-rank players and just getting dominated. It's not any fun to lose constantly, and I'm not getting enough parts or supplies to keep my faction alive.
Why did they design the matchmaking so horribly?

I had the same issue at first, but when you get a good team it makes it a whole lot easier.

When you're playing with randoms, you never get a good team.

What's the mercenary mode, and will it make other douchebag players not be able to kill me in two shots even after I hit them directly in the face with my shotgun? Their high-rank gear is just completely unfair and it renders the game utterly pointless to play.
