I'm going to give this a try. I was absolutely terrible at the Uncharted MP, so I wonder how I'll do. Only one way to find out!

I've never had a problem with listen mode, working as a team pretty much negates the
effect of camping. The thing ND needs to fix is the broken ass servers and the fact that I get punished whenever the host disconnects and everyone gets booted from the room. Or when I get thrown onto a losing team when the score is 7-18 and I need to collect 75 supplies somehow. Lol. Frustrating.

Do people really use listening mode in multi? I always see people on the move or using hunting rifles. To me, listening mode seems useless to use since the range isn't great. Then again, I don't use it much to see if it's broken in multi.
Give you parts(like +15) and I think skill points. The main purpose is to inform your teammates so...what else should it do?
Reposting my tips from the OT thread, that thread moves so fast everything gets buried.
I've finished 14 weeks and completed the firefly journey successfully. Having an incredible time.
I play supply raid almost exclusively, here's some tips for dudes having problems.
- Spending parts to buy ammo/guns/armor does not affect the final bonus supplies you'll get, those are based solely on your score which does not change even if you buy items.
- Craft as many things as you can, crafted items make the most difference in my experience. I like bombs and molotovs, followed by upgraded melee weapons. I don't ever make first aid kits because those are littered all over the map.
- Armor covers your head and upper torso, so shooting an armored dude in the legs takes him down just as fast. This also means a crouching armored dude is pretty safe.
- Sprinting makes you show up on the enemy's minimap. Walking or crouch walk doesn't. I almost never sprint unless absolutely necessary.
- Listen mode is king, but you don't need to hold it down continuously. Walk a distance, listen to check, carry on walking if its clear. If you can see enemies via listen mode, they can see you too.
- Special executions should only be done if you know you aren't going to get shot at when you're doing it. Because there is wave respawn, you can look at the number of enemies alive and decide if you want to go in for the special execution.
- Stay close to your team mates so that you can flank the enemy, but don't cluster together, you'd be a sucker for molotovs.
edit:
Perks that I like:
- Covert training 2, can't be seen on listen mode when crouch walking is superb if you like flanking.
- Crafter 1, crafting items in a pinch has saved me more than a few times
- Collector 2, if you're going for unlocking customizations this is essential to bringing your clan to population 100. I made it to 114 before I crashed out and never recovered.
- Explosion expert, I like bombs and molotovs, molotovs are usually instant downs + executions
- Pistol auto-zoom, 9mm is a great close range weapon while revolver can substitute as a decent mid range weapon, this perk is more useful than I had initially thought.
Perks that I don't like:
- Sharp ears, great for listen mode, but not actually necessary in my opinion.
- Brawler, finding a 4 x 4 isn't very common, and neither is getting close enough to melee enemies.
- Marathon runner, I prefer silence.
- Strategist, not really useful in my opinion.

Oook, thanks that helps. They really shouldn't name them the same thing then... nice tips!
Man, no kidding. No wonder I see so many people using armor.
Kind of makes me like purchaseables even less now, since they're more akin to killstreak rewards than a gamble.

So I wasn't the only one who thought so too... I thought spending parts was bad so I ignored buying ammo/armor. Still managed to win a a good portion of the games I've played though.
The point is that the target is marked for your teammates. So you don't give away your position, but you make sure your teammates know where the enemy is. Very useful.
Yeah its...pretty fucking basic lol. Rotate and resize, thats it

How can anyone enjoy the multiplayer? EVERY single game I have played I get some bizarre glitch that randomly makes my controller stop responding for about 5 seconds. It has lead to numerous deaths! All of which are absolutely RAGE inducing.
I finished my first playthrough of the game tonight, going to jump in and try out the multiplayer tomorrow.
Big question though, I heard about this "clan" idea where you have to sustain a group of survivors, and is that all real time as in if I don't play for a week then my clan is practically dead from no supplies?

I plan on trying out the multiplayer tonight but I don't have a mic. Will that significantly affect the experience? I don't want to piss off my team.
I don't have a mic either, but it doesn't seem like a big deal. Just make sure to mark people with RS.
I play as a lone wolf with no mic, I'm doing pretty well so it's perfectly ok.

Played my first match.
We lost, but I actually ended up being the top player on my team with 6 downs, 3 kills, 6 deaths, and 1 revive. My teammate ended up with 3 downs, 2 kills, 8 deaths, and 0 revives.

I don't know how often i'll be on since i'm going out of town for a month, but i'm taking my ps3 so if I manage to get a decent internet connection I might get on for a while. Haven't even tried the multiplayer yet

Dear Diary:
Today in The Last of Us' Multiplayer, I was able to flank the backside of an enemy who was approaching a teammate. Together we shot the enemy to death, and witnessed the enemy's body float to the ceiling as though pulled by an extremely powerful fan. When I finally stopped laughing, I was dead.
Well diary, that's all for today. I find so many interesting things and people during my journey through The Last of Us' Multoplayer, I can't wait to see what I run into next!
