I don't have the game myself but I played a bit of the multi at my friend's gaff yesterday and have to say I really enjoyed it! My performance was less than desirable (I was getting destroyed) but I really loved the pacing of the matches, especially when you're the last one left against 4 other players, very tense stuff!
Can't wait to get some money and buy the game myself!

this used to happen often in uncharted 2. and we'd all be in the same chatroom when it happened. Good times.
The pressure can be immense, especially due to the attached meta game, but it's one of the most tactical online shooters I've played. It isn't about killing. Resource management, healing, teamwork, running when you know you'll lose, hiding, supporting etc. You'll always have a role.
I'm getting quite frustrated trying to get the skull mask for the 4th time now due to host leaving the game and being kicked, which starves and sicken my clan to death. Also, all the random players I've played with don't know how to maximize supplies by drawing and losing rounds on purpose in order to have more rounds to earn more parts. The best method I think is to lose 2 or 3 rounds on purpose just to get free 100 parts from supplie box and just win the game afterwards instead of 4-0ing the team. Drawing the first four or more matches works just as well if you want to win, but you won't get the extra parts I believe.
If anyone that wants to help me out that would be great. My PSN is TOMNG206 and I only play survival mode. Unfortunately, I don't have a mic, but I understand the game pretty well. I'm currently level 43 with a 2.16 KDR. If we're getting dominated somehow, I will try my best with my try hard class

Play Supply Raid. Nobody's going to willingly lose rounds.

In the multiplayer, you have to survive 13 weeks. They will give you some challenges in each week to increase your clan's population by 5%,7% and 10%, while some raids will that can wipe out your clan's population by 60%,40%,20% depending on which tier of challenges you completed. If you don't complete the challenges on the later stages of the attack raids, which is 7-8 weeks mark, they can wipe out 100% of your clan members, which means you'll have to start all over if you want to earn all the customization gear. It is recommended to pick the easiest challenges for the attack raids that can wipe out your entire clan.
You need a certain amount of supplies to feed and to increase your clan's population. To get everything, you need 120 population to get the last hat and to get the skull mask, you need at least 85 population after the 13 weeks. You'll earn supplies from downing the enemies, execution, special execution for extra points, marking enemies, healing, crafting items, etc. To maximize supplies per game is to have a bunch of rounds and to provide a lot of team support. Pray that you don't get drop from host leaving or being kick, which can make your whole clan suffer from sickness and hunger, which will lead to easy death tolls if you can't supply enough for the next day.

Here is a quick tip, for those who are performing poorly in a match and feel that they won't stack up enough supplies or meet the mission requirements to maintain a large clan count simply quit the game to the xmb, that way the game doesn't punish you for leaving a match. This I found especially useful in the later weeks.

I've just started the multiplayer over the weekend and am currently on Week 2 Day 4. I still don't properly understand how survivors get sick or hungry yet, but I barely just got the required amount of supplies on the last match I played.
I'm really enjoying it though, it's reminding me of MGO 2 slightly, or what that could have been if everyone didn't play every mode as a TDM on that.

thanks!
Wow that is amazing. I just tried doing collector 2 with first aid training 3, and I scored my 1st 6000+ game, it was incredible. However it was the last day of my 12 weeks and I only managed 82, missed the skull mask by three.

What did this become?
I believe you can only be kicked if you repeatedly attack your team mates (eg. with nail bombs). Otherwise, it's just a connection error.
Oh ok; I definitely didn't attack anyone but it said I was kicked, not disconnected.
Why? It doesn't matter besides a simple reskin.
I know. It just the back story I prefer more.
Just started this for the first time. Is the hunting rifle as bad as I think it is? I usually like rifles but it just takes way too long to kill with it compared to other weapons and leaves you really vulnerable after a shot. Maybe I'm missing something,
Anyway, it was fun as long as the matches were even. Not sure how much a higher level helps but some players just seemed to be able to take incredible amounts of damage and obliterated my team.

Treat it like a Bolt Action Sniper Rifle. Use long distances and higher ground when possible. If shooting at a target unaware of you, try for the headshot to down them quickly. It's a pretty powerful weapon and I've done pretty well with it personally.

I was under the impression that the season pass bonuses are for SP. This is the description in the webstore:

There are no unlocked loadout skills that make the higher level players able to take more damage. Maybe they were wearing armor? You can buy that during a match if you have 450 parts.
No. In fact it can be quite annoying. Unlike the other starting weapons it can take people down with one shot to the head. Great for dam and lakeside.
As far as higher level people go they do have an inate advantage of having more skills and points but nothing tops team work in this game. Sticking together and reviving teammates goes a long way. Most of the advanced powers are in the preset loadouts too if you want to give them a spin before unlocking them.

It's amazing how often my team loses based on how many people have mics. 80% of the time I'm the only dude with a mic in the room. god damn
When the other team has 2 or more people with mics we get run over. Like fucking clockwork.

RAGE INDUCING MOMENT!!!! I hate this game sometimes! Got disconnected from my first two matches while trying to do the friggin missions Hunters attack 100% population risk, on the last day 3/3 I thought I'd do minimum but couldn't get 10 gifts in one match to give to people, was so friggin close though and I asked everyone in my team to not kill the guy for just 15 seconds but they ignored and now I am back to week 1. If only I hadn't gotten disconnected from the first two matches, I was so close too week 12 day 3... Ugh, think I'm done for a while! :'( :'(

This is technically old, but here's some footage of my pre-release MP press review session with Naughty Dog (their IDs have 'NDI'). I made out ok, and I'm hoping they didn't just let me win.

I hope they release new modes and/or game types. I really like being stealth, so maybe a "hardcore" mode with no listen mode, limited HUD, etc

I gave this a try last night briefly and haha, I'm so bad at it. I kept dying
It's definitely not your normal multiplayer game. I wish I had more time to play it, because it seems the more you invest in it the more you get in return.

Nice work, I'm glad it helped. Just apply the same method next time and you'll easily make your parts quota as well as having a pretty sizeable clan by the end.
Also, save your healing challenges for week 12 when the Firefly's/Hunters attack. As you've seen, it's ridiculously easy to complete.
Hope you know I might join in when I get home. The other gang should to.
Right guys?
Right, right.

Is there a points bonus for
a) Winning
b) Being alive at the end of a round
?

I agree. I'm getting towards the end of my hunter play through and it's become a shit show with fire fly attacks, disconnections, and joining games and being down and put. I liked the meta game in the beginning but now it's distracting.

Didn't bother to play the multiplayer at all till today, but for some reason It won't let me get into a game, I get "cannot connect to ticket server" I can't seem to find a workaround, already deleted the game data but didn't see to help. Anyone else had this problem or know a work around?
I've just created the same loadout.
I've been healing/reviving people constantly. It really is a great way too gain parts.
I don't think there is for winning.
But for being the last alive you get 'bonus parts awarded'.

A quick google search and I found this thread on the official forums: Cant connect to ticket server. They think it's due to the PSN maintenance today.
