i really hope they wont ever shut down the servers, this game is special, i want to be able to play it for the rest of my life. if they ever decide to shut it down then they should at least remake it, keep the movement and mechanics exactly the same just upgrade the graphics, add new masks, maps, maybe guns. no battle pass bullsh*t, keep it simple. that'd be lit but i know that wont ever happen so f*ck Neil and the whole ND

my buddies and i used to have "faction nights" where we would stay up until like 7am playing it. god i miss those days

Gotta say. When I first started playing factions it was solely for the multiplayer trophies and getting the platinum. But each match I went on it became a chess-like survival game that made me be so cautions in my management and actions. I got so addicted to that concept, the original concept of TLOU game, that even though Naughty Dog won't do any sequel to this marvelous add-on. I will gladly keep playing it. It's just simple team fun. What more do you want?

It’s so. “Disappointing”. And honestly almost depressing to see such a game with such an attractive world not have the activities available to experience it in? To not have the ability to experience things like coop against the infected or multiplayer like factions. It’s just so dumb to have such a good IP but do nothing with it. It’s just so stupid how “safe” they’re playing it instead of going all out and adding more things to do in this universe truly one of the gayest decisions of all time. Funny to think we live in a world where the schlock’s of cod get gluttonous amounts of additions and experiences while things genuinely interesting and inspiring like the last of us get nothing. Makes no sense

I play this game every day - I love it! I love the randomness of playing with actual real people and not against the computer. I wish ND would fix the bugs and cheats. They could also add it to DLC for the other versions of TLOU/2. If they take down the servers then I expect my money back, because I have spent quite a bit on guns and costumes etc.

I reflected once I reached level 999. This game is amazing, played since nick eh 30 played this and made videos of it. Nothing ever compared to this game.

It's so good to see other people have such love for Factions. I was absolutely addicted to this game for the longest time. I've got about 2000 hours in Factions. I have never played a game that much

I’ve only recently gotten back into playing this Multiplayer since I last played in 2016. Watching your videos has been a great help in getting me up to speed in the current state of this community. Much appreciated 👍

We all have to move on at some point, 2013 was 11 years ago, some of us already have jobs or family, I started playing not long ago but I'm sure I will move on after some years just like the original players did.

On one hand, I think them having the game canceled and it being very public has to be embarrassing and that they'll want a chance to 'redeem' themselves with a multiplayer mode similar to factions with tlou3. You know it will be part of the conversation when the game is being developed. On the other, If the series ends with 3, then maybe they won't bother, because it's not worth keeping people engaged with that world.

Hey Dr.pooplove can you make a showcase video series going through the perks in Factions? Id like to see your take and explanation on each of them. If no can you do a tier list on them.

2:52 the t bag got me 😂

Still can’t believe there is no more factions coming.

I just want them to make an update for the original factions. Patch cheats like wall-shooting or crab-walking. I’d much prefer maintence on something that everyone loves as opposed to investing in a factions 2 that may or may not be as good as the original.

I started playing factions again when I realized they canceled production on the new last of us multiplayer :(

The way to enjoy Factions is finding the right time of day to play. If you play from 4:00 pm Central time US to around 4:00 am Central time US you will decrease your chances of playing with people with an internet advantage. I have played at so many different times against the same people at different times and between the hours of 4:00 am to around 1:00 pm is when I have found out that the severs match you more with players from either South America or Europe. That time frame is when I find players whose shots never miss or they can move faster than me. And when I mean move faster I'm not talking about crabwalking. 90% of the loudouts I use have Agility 2 as perk and I constantly get my ass handed to me by players being faster than me or I have to land more shots on them than needed. For example it will take 3 shots from the tac shotgun or 3 hits with the stick or 4 to 5 shots with the revolver. This is also when my smoke bombs area is drastically reduced and bombs won't down players. It's also the same with molotov. So play in the evening to late night to avoid these issues.

I still play this when I get the chance . Hopefully servers don’t shut down . Just being able to have a multitude of approaches on how you load out and even play is amazing .

We really are what’s left of The factions community guess you could say we are the last of us

Factions 2 had so much potential... It makes me so sad when i think about It

I’ve been a daily Factions player for years. Ironically, since “No Return” came out I haven’t returned to Factions at all. It seems NR has successfully replaced the one game that I’ve always come back to. I wonder if any other Factions players have this?

Nice video man! I agree with you 100%. I haven’t found a multiplayer to this day that’s been better than factions.

I have played the last of us part 1 day 1 on ps3. I played the living hell of it until they shunted down the ps3 servers. Ever since then I haven’t touch last of us faction due to studying medicine. I hope this multiplayer still lives on. I’m glad players like you keep this community alive . Thank you

Praying we get multiplayer in part 3

It’s mind blowing that they really don’t see how a new factions can be super beneficial and lucrative because I know they’re worried about money, its like they want to give us nothing we want, like no body asked for so many remasters no one

This is the only competitive game out there that's actually fun.

I call it "the biggest waste of a potential in video games." you summarized good Doc, factions was a masterpiece.

I was so happy to return to factions recently until I was reminded why I hate playing multiplayer - I unmuted people’s mics and instantly regretted it.

Thanks for the info. I LOVE tlou and I like no return because it's so much harder. But I've never played factions because I thought there are no more people. Thinking about to play it one time

Maybe I should get back into Factions, you might've convinced me

Im new to factions but ive really enjoyed what ive played so far its honestly a shame they cancelled factions 2

dude i just started playing again literally yesterday after like 4 years off. it’s so fun and relaxing after taking such a long time off lol

Naughty Dog made great gameplay for TLOU2 and seeing the gameplay in a multiplayer with that engine I don't know why we couldn't just get a raw version of the multiplayer

I'd really like to see another team take up the concept behind factions and do their own rendition. The want for it is there. And my trust in naughty dog has plummeted with how they handled factions 2.

Is the ps4/ps5 version of the game still on 30fps like ps3 or is it 60fps with those?

This game is literally the most underrated game in history of mankind. It’s literally a shame that the remastered version doesn’t come with the multiplayer mode :/

As a current and old time factions player, I would absolutely love to see this gamemode stick around. If they shut down the servers, I hope that the developers and people who worked on Factions get the chance to make their own standalone game, even if it's with a different company. With the modern industry and developers creating their own unique indie experiences, I wouldn't be surprised if someone remakes or just designs their own game around the style, map design, and gunplay of Factions. I hold a faint hope that ND will release a Factions mode within the future, but I hold a stronger hope within the community to, in the case of a shut down or complete ND abandonment, create a game that is entirely identical, or even just a fraction similar to Factions.

It this still up

I started playing factions all the way back in 2014 and for me, it used to be the best multiplayer I had ever played. Unfortunately the mass amount of cheating caused me to stop playing. For me I could not get a lobby where there wasn’t anyone using exploits like speed crab walking and wall shooting. I tried to get back into the game like a year ago but the cheating has only gotten worse. It really sucks to see how Naughty Dog has completely failed in the multiplayer aspect for factions 2.

i hope these servers never get put down. This is my online MP and TLOU Online getting shut down is the saddest and worst decision Naughty Dog ever did.

3:06 people are still here… BARS

The best game on line ever made!

I'm still on Factions

I love factions, even dressed up as a firefly for Halloween

Tbh I just can't bring myself to get excited about ND games anymore. Multiplayer could be confirmed for TLOU 3 and I wouldn't feel anything... There was a time I would have paid almost any price for a sequel to my favorite singleplayer AND multiplayer game, and just look what happened. It's almost like naughty dog doesn't like their fan base 🤔

I play this almost everyday it’s simple yet fun gameplay I’ll never get tired of it hope they never shut the servers down

I'm still waiting for tlou2 on pc😭

Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad it happened.

How you get online o 😂 im been trying. For like few days now

Being the last one alive and then turning the match outcome the other way around is THE greatest feeling on earth, which made this game soo great. It could have been so much more then it was. I don’t get why it wasn’t more popular and it’s sad that they cancelled the new multiplayer game…

They're honestly dumb for not even saying anything about the last of us factions game while the hype was there with the last of us now nobody really cares

what are best top online 6 loadouts on the last of us bro

Since this multiplayer is dying, I think I'll should release hidden "cheating/bug" related videos, mostly showcases lol, or should I keep em secret?, they are very destructive lol

No factions 2 kinda killed me on TLOU. Maybe if the story was better in pt2 I would want a 3rd game.

Nothing will ever replace factions. But the finals has filled that void of an addictive tactical gameplay but in first person though. I’ll still support the channel and watch the videos especially since watching helldivers 2 has been great content

I like to assume yhe player base is around 500-1000 considering the amount of views your faction videos get

The best multiplayer of all time

To think i was this close to joining the outsourcing dev team to support last of us online... So frustrated they aimed too high and decided not to go for it. We only asked for factions 1 to be remade. Do you know like 80% of the players dont even know there was a multiplayer. The crowd they could have gotten had huge potential.

Wish they had just remade factions 1, the remake would've been rated much higher and sold so much more..

I dont think Naughty Dog doesnt want multiplayer fans, its just the playing field has changed in terms of multiplayer nowadays and simple multiplayer modes are not common anymore. Im pretty confident we will still get multiplayer in the tlou universe. Obviously not as big as the cancelled one (which im fine with, never asked for it to be large like that) but maybe something more akin to the og in part 3 whenever that comes

I will play factions until it is completely dead and the servers go down or they make factions 2 but I don’t think that’s happening ever

I’ve been playing factions since 2013 on PS3. Factions was the only reason I bought a PS5. Factions servers must never shutdown.

Of all the guns to mention here, the burst rifle is OP? Really????

Whats the story behind your usernname, dr pooplove?

baffling how they not only cancelled the online but seem to have actively managed to get people like yourself and many of us in the comments to feel, as you say, totally unwanted. Its nuts to me that a company would actively piss off their fanbase like this when we're a potentially decent source of money for them. Not to mention that games should be made for passion and love, as the first motivation. Still a bit hurt over this and i usually don't get that way! this game, man....!

Naughty Dog! Don’t give up on this mode! Add a Factions for TLOU2 or if you can’t do that just add it into the TLOU1 Remake!!

Played on ps4 then went to ps5, switched to pc and I only played factions.... sucks cuz I gave my sister my ps5 so I have no way of paying tlouf again 😕

Comment for the algo

I played The Last of Us for my first time today. I got to the safe house when you meet Bill for the first time. Sofar the game is a blast. Never knew it was this much fun. I think a Resident Evil game in this kind of Style from The Last of Us could be great..Still want to see the Tv Show of The Last of Us sometime after i finish the first game. I don't know if ill play part 2 because i hear you don't just play as Allie or Joel.

I’ve played factions for 11 years. For the past 3 years cheaters killed the game. And now everyone is using only COVERT 3 and camp. I don’t have time for noobs camping all the time. It is boaring.

How fucken hard is it to release factions 2 fuck

Why didn't they just ship it with the ps5 remake as well or add it on now. I played Fs on PS3 when you needed a cod to play the mp I still remember the first match. I have played the PS4 one too but not as much because I was keen for a new game but the way they did this makes me not want to be a fan anymore and that sucks. F you Bungie f you ps. What ever there new ip is I won't get into it because why should I. so they promise amazing things just to not deliver. Sorry but bro I'm mad as hell. Helldivers 2 is a amazing game I wouldn't be playing if F2 come out

People need to get over this game, it's been nice that it was around for all this time but for really, just let it go. I know a lot of people that only play this game. The industry is filled with good games to just sit on this broken, filled with cheaters old multi-player...honestly it's almost sad.

Still love FACTIONS but the cheating is out of control

how about fix the remakes’ game breaking bugs so it doesn’t feel too much like a cash grab

honestly I was originally excited for the Last of Us Remastered version for PC and was hoping for a Factions to be tacked on with it. to my disappointment there was no Factions and the game was so poorly ported smh. why you do this to us. i remember playing factions for 3yrs since the OG ps3 to ps4 days

Man ive been playing factions since like 2014 and some hiw ive still never vs you poopylove

Wall banging and crab walking needs to be eliminated and the game could thrive again. I've been playing the multiplayer since the PS3 days. My regularly play at least three to four times a week to this day. I've adapted to playing versus the modded controller cheater. However it's still annoying lol. People say that the burst rifle is OP I don't agree. Paired with a modded controller yes it will be OP. The gun I feel is the OP gun is the tactical shotgun. That thing has way too much range plus you're getting damaged behind objects. People don't realize the modded controllers with rapid fire work for basically any gun. Yeah the gun might not shoot like a variable but it's still getting off shots quicker. Also dudes claiming that their beasts with a rifle I don't buy half of their claims because with a modded controller as soon as you aim it takes a shot without actually pressing the trigger. I know they can't do anything about the mods for taking out the wall banging and the crab walking make it much more tolerable. It's just a shame cause this is the best multiplayer ever hands down. Oh I must add that it appears that the shots don't count like they're supposed to sometimes. I've hit somebody with 3 bursts and 1 revolver shot multiple times and they're still up. In some cases up close and personal which makes no sense whatsoever. It takes five shots close to medium range but yet 10 shots and the player is still up.

I've gotten to the point where i just hate naughty dog

Neil really just ran this entire studio's rep into the ground after TLOU2 huh

How big chance is when I click on state of tlou fiction in 2023 I see 42 minutes old 2024 version

I despise this game at this point. Every match is covert ops and burst rifles or covert ops and shotgun. It gets annoying every damn match.

The story for the second game sucked. It was a struggle to complete the story just to say I did. Factions is the best MP…period. I just played and I’ll play tomorrow.

This game ruin my life, I play every day, all time(((

im left awestruck everytime i click on one of your vids i just cant fathom why you would base your channel around poop

Cheaters ruined this game for me. I think it’s time the players who don’t cheat move on to other games. The cheating is getting worse.

Imma be honest... I dont care anymore about the last of us

I told you there was no such thing as tlou 2 multiplayer it was all bollocks 😂😂 we don’t need tlou 2 multiplayer this is tlou 2 multiplayer ❤❤❤

The Sequel ruined this entire franchise
