I honestly dont even remember how i got to find out about factions i think i was just going through the menus one day and stumbled on it. And it became one of my favourite mp's even with all the new ones coming out i find myself going back to it. Cant wait for factions 2
That is exactly how I found it, I was just browsing the menu and looking at the bonus stuff and saw factions and asked my dad “hey do you know what that is?” And that is how I found out this game had a multiplayer
Free noobz to smoke so I can get my sick masks!!!! Invite all your friends from call of duty and let me shank em while they are slow creeping🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know it's a massive jump scare Thanks for entering the dungeon ❤❤❤❤
It’s really interesting to listen to this video because I have recently been watching TLOU Strategists’ old ‘Fireside Chat’ videos again. You could say I have been in something of an introspective state, about many matters. Then, this video arrives… I am what one might call a ‘veteran’ of the Factions MP. I have played basically consistently since 17 June 2013. I still play 4-5 times a week and make content for this game, as I am sure you are aware. There are many things about the amazing mechanics of this multiplayer that deserve commendation. From the brutal special executions, which are arguably unique amongst known shooters, to the small visual details, the game’s multiplayer is nothing short of a masterpiece. And yet, I think there is a problem… I sometimes think of TLOU MP as an unplanned pregnancy. It was the ‘thing that wasn’t supposed to happen.’ And yet it did. Considering this game has had no support from ND since December 2014, it is incredible to think of the life cycle of this multiplayer. Going forward, I think the biggest problem with this multiplayer is not the game, but the community who play it. So many times we see people turned away from this game by the cheating and toxic nature of human behaviour. I have recently reflected on some of my actions as a result of things I have done. Let me say, it has been an eye-opening experience. Thank you for taking the time to put together such an interesting video and I think it is fair to say we can all do better. - SIX
I completely agree. I haven't played many online MP games, but this is the most toxic enviroment I've encountered in gaming. For every cool person you meet in this game there is 4 cheaters who send you hateful messages. And the negatives are usually more visible than the positives anyway. Everyone is obsessed with blaming their defeats on something and labeling players. If you played badly you're a noob, if you play well you're a tryhard. Unless you run into battle you're labeled a camper. If you use the "wrong" weapons people get mad at you. Its just a strange place tbh and quite petty.
Great points here and yes I feel like especially now knowing a new game is on the horizon, it’s a good time to reflect on what this game really is. I was thinking about how toxicity plays into this. It definitely is a turnoff and I do think aspects of the community have hurt this game while other aspects have helped
Ha! well said SIX... You were the reason I stopped playing about 5 years back... and the burst rifle sure didn't help either. You were a really good team mate in many games and we had good interactions (played a game where you got 4 bow headshots team wipe and other game where you thanked me for good spotting and HR shots) I think we played on the same team maybe 10+ times, but I also saw you insulting players for bad plays soo fkn nastily they'd usually leave and then you'd say, 'Good, he's gone now' Then you did it to me one day. Was playing cold and had my aim speed unusually low and derped no-hitting a player circling me. It actually killed the magic of the game for me.. no hard feelings from me all the same... and I came to realise you were that guy when I came across your channel at a later date and asked you on your channel about it. You replied that was you probably lol. You also were really friendly a lot too so... You have good content and I'm still subbed to you. And wish you all the best.
OMG are your the "S_I_X" from Factions ? I already played with/against you. Happy to meet you on Dr Pooplove's YT. Great memories of our games, you are a nice gamer ! Regards.
Knowing that there are players and influencers like you that share the same amount of passion about a near decade old game brings me so much joy. It may sound cliche, but since the day my best friends introduce me to this game 5 years ago there’s been a change on my outlook on gaming, storytelling, and even in my personality. My friends and I had shared so many moments playing and talking about and watching others play this game. It took a good chunk of my teen years and I still play every time I get a chance to hop on my ps. Creators and influencers like yourself are greatly appreciated by this community. Please continue to make content, and keep the hope alive. Thank you Dr. I hope to see you in a factions 2 lobby someday. May you poop on scrubs forever❤️
Just started playing this game again... really wish more people knew about this game. It's really cool that you know all the history If the next game isn't as good or is too different, I hope people will continue to play the game, in the same way that people still play Smash Melee.
Love this game. Started playing on it on 2013 and took many breaks along the way, specially after the craw-walk bug. I keep coming back, game is sick! Also I was mad wen part 2 came without MP and had not bough it yet because of that. Looking forward for the next MP!!!
My favorite multiplayer game of all time, and I’ve been gaming since 2010. It’s just so good. Its simplicity is what makes it stand out imo, although it has many other qualities. If only ND cared a little more and patched some of the most obvious problems (tac shotgun being one of them), it could have truly been close to perfection.
What is weird is that in the ballroom in Pittsburgh with the piano you and Ellie move is that there is a banner that reads Prom 2013. Now Proms are held in the spring and the zombie breakout happened in the Fall of 2013. Which means that sign was hanging in that ballroom for at least 6 months. What's up with that?
@@DrPooplove i was thinking that since 2013 was in the middle of the Obama administration the hotel hadn't been able to book anything else since the economy was so bad.
I did so much with The last of us multiplayer I played from 2014 - 2025 stopped played again in 2018 stopped again then I started streaming on twitch and played it from 2020 - 2023 almost every single day
I remember watch the promotional trailer for The Last of Us while in the middle of matches playing Unchartered 3. We had no idea what was in store for us.
The problem that I had before is on my country I was not able to download the extra content for the multiplayer, and I thought that the multiplayer was no longer active, recently I find a way to download the content and I'm starting with this mode but too late.
This is the game that got me into PvP. Never really liked games like CoD because I much prefer 3rd person over FPS. Fortnite is the only multi-player that got me away from Factions but I gave that up a year ago and went back to strictly playing Factions for my PvP fix. Here's to hoping that the new Factions game has a classic mode with all the bugs patched out. Love yours and many other creators videos and the community that revolves around it. Can't wait for the next chapter.
I remember when I first played it. I was gamesharing with a buddy of mine and I played the single player first and then moved on. Come to find out there was a multipayer to this game, since it just says last of us remastered on a couple of my friends ps4. When we played bf4 I asked them why they play last of us so much, they said they play the multiplayer. I was like theres multiplayer? They tried to get me to play the game and after 3 games to stopped because I hated how the game was designed, I never felt safe.I litterally shat myself the first time I got shived in the game.Then he told me to give it another shot and I fell in love with it. I went from being scared to kill 1 guy to litterally being able to take on multiple enemies. Despite its flaws, I still love the game, haven't played in a while though because life gets in the way. No other game made me feel so tense, the closest thing to it would be seige in terms of stress.
Hi bro i think i found out that the new the last of us 1 ps5 remasterd will have a multiplayer mode because when you pre order it you will get a tactical shotgun skin but the shotgun was not in the story mode maybe they bring the multiplayer too that would be amazing
Hey what do you think about the gameplay leaks about the remake to me I think it’s older gameplay from earlier test for the game it just doesn’t feel like something naughty dog would do
Great video poop! ✌🏻 I dont have that big of an issue with OP weapons or boring playstyles. Its always the cheaters and hackers that get to me. Dont get me wrong I still want to delete bomb expert, tac, covert3, shotgun etc. But the wallshooters and the lack of consequences is always the thing I hate most. And lastly I wanna say that there needs to be ranked matchmaking lobbies. I'd consider my factions skill level to be average. And I often find myself either being stomped by skilled veterans or beating noobs with ease to the point where they just quit the game cus they aren't having any fun. I remember when I was a noob, I was so confused playing this game and it was really hard to get into. I constantly got messages telling me to stop playing cus I was trash and I ruined the game for everyone else. It was a very unforgiving enviroment and if I didn't love TLOU so much I probably would've left a long time ago, and I completely understand all of those that left. Hopefully we can split the tryhards and the casual gamers who just wanna have fun in the next factions.
Yes I hope they have ranked modes and much better matchmaking. It’s probably another aspect that belongs in my playerbase section that they never got matchmaking in a good spot
I love factions to death but It’s so hard now to play against the guys who are level 999 and have been playing since released.. not only this but it’s not so much fun anymore now that I have nobody to play with.
I used to absolutely demolish on TLOU multiplayer I still have dreams about it sometimes lol If i still played on playstation I would def play. suuuper fun.
part of me wonders if there hadn't been a strong blacklash from the Factions community to the news that Part II wouldn't include a multiplayer mode would we even have a Factions 2? 🤔🤔 I do indeed *hope* that the team working on this new stand-alone multiplayer title is given the resources they need to make it as exceptional as its predecessor
I think about this too especially with how long it’s taking. I wonder if they canceled it thinking no one would care much. And then decided to restart after they realized people did want it
Factions is the shit it's underrated but arguably has a decent size following that is loyal. Naughty Dog is smart for taking their time with factions I'm just getting antsy. I hope they include all the original MP maps in the new factions as a treat. Also regarding cheating, I notice that most cheating takes place on Supply Raid matches. On interrogation matches I very rarely see it BUT there is a new cheat going around where someone self revives you'll down them and then they magically get back up with some of their health back I've seen it multiple times it's crazy lol but I haven't seen that many people doing it.
You said Faction felt they hacked together at last minute for checkmarked on Sony request well you actually half-right it was originally gonna be PvE some sort of horde mode fighting against the infecteds but as they tested it become unfun to play so they scrapped that and repurpose into PvP multiplayer like it is now in fact you can see some remnant of original design on non-DLC map and yes they didn't expect people to play as much as it was
I have never been a multiplayer person. I first heard of The Last of Us when I purchased part 2. I was about halfway through that game when I learned that the first game was PS3 and that a remastered version had been made for the PS4. I purchased the PS4 remastered edition and resolve to play it when I was done with part two. When I finally did get there, the first thing I noticed was the factions mp item in the menu. I googled it and found out that it was the multiplayer game. I also found out that you had to be paying for PS Plus in order to play it. As I am not a multiplayer person, I was not interested. I don't pay for PS Plus because I don't want to play online games. But there's also another reason that I'm not interested in factions. To me the story is about Ellie and Joel. Factions has nothing to do with Ellie and Joel or their story. And that is the primary reason I'm not interested in it. But that doesn't mean that other people can't enjoy it. More power to you if you do.
Yeah that’s totally understandable and I am glad that the multiplayer does not have you playing as Joel and Ellie but rather, random members of factions that they encounter in the game. I do think that the upcoming multiplayer will have importance in terms of fleshing out the larger world that Ellie and Joel exist in
If you are playing against a low level player who is playing well the odds are that they are using a modded controller that allows for aim assist, no recoil and faster shooting. 9 times out of 10 I quit those matches about halfway because what is the point of playing against a person who can rotate 90 degrees while you are shooting them and you end up being downed.
Bro you know what , i dont personally think Factions is underrated. I find pretty much full lobies i.e. 8 player battles at least in Supply raid and interrogation..
imo i think the online is trash to many bugs hit detection and weapon sway dookie match making shitty oh and the weapons omg sometimes in matches it feels like you shooting blanks and the enemy feels like the gods blessed the enemy wit a one hitter quitter the game haves potential but naughty dog is like company this gives you a shitty product with beautiful wrapping why remake a game when cant fixed the small bull shit that players get away with
Still one of the most addictive multiplayer experiences I've played.
I cant stop myself I play another game and then Factions draws me back
TO. THIS. DAY.
A close second would be MGS4 Online(MGO2) on PS3
I honestly dont even remember how i got to find out about factions i think i was just going through the menus one day and stumbled on it. And it became one of my favourite mp's even with all the new ones coming out i find myself going back to it. Cant wait for factions 2
Exactly I think it was the same for me and this mode actually turned me from a single player only guy to a multiplayer gamer
That is exactly how I found it, I was just browsing the menu and looking at the bonus stuff and saw factions and asked my dad “hey do you know what that is?” And that is how I found out this game had a multiplayer

Thank you for the kind words! This game rocks
One thing about this game is that you either love it to death or hate it so much........ Playing it for 6 years straight and still going on 💯💥
Absolutely! I love and hate this game within the span of a single match lol!! It’s a roller coaster
Truly ahead of its time. Can't wait to see the new generation of faction heads with the standalone game. Great vid as always.
I can’t wait!!
Just started playing this game again... really wish more people knew about this game.
It's really cool that you know all the history
If the next game isn't as good or is too different, I hope people will continue to play the game, in the same way that people still play Smash Melee.
That’s true I feel like even with Factions 2, I will still be checking out OG Factions lobbies!
@@DrPooplove which is why some bugfixes would be really nice...
What a great video poop! Thanks for putting this together. You got some good points that made me appreciate factions even more.
Thank you! This was such a fun video to put together!

Agreed!
Consider that we got word from the Druc himself that a full on factions game/sequel is in the works, I'm VERY excited to see what comes next.
This is like a documentary on PBS. I love it.
Lol never thought of it like!
Your videos are great man. Video editing and music is top notch.
Thank you! I really tried to push it for this one :)

You have a limited subject but keep coming up with such innovative, funny, and informative content. 👏🏾👏🏾😎

Hehe glad you liked it! Hopefully Factions 2 is out by the time I run out of ideas lol
Love this video and love you comunity we are still here 💓💓💓
We are still here!! Haha thank you!
I agree with you and also the fact there is no tutorial forces players to play the single player first
True they hopefully will have something like that in f2
My brother and I love Factions, earlier this year we started playing it again then ended up going through the campaign again
It’s a totally magical experience that deserves more recognition
I did so much with The last of us multiplayer I played from 2014 - 2025 stopped played again in 2018 stopped again then I started streaming on twitch and played it from 2020 - 2023 almost every single day

Hi bro i think i found out that the new the last of us 1 ps5 remasterd will have a multiplayer mode because when you pre order it you will get a tactical shotgun skin but the shotgun was not in the story mode maybe they bring the multiplayer too that would be amazing
Im pretty sure that is the shotgun you get from the original but also we don’t know this but they may give you new guns in the remake
I got the ski mask unlocked in this. Favorite weapon for multiplayer is the bow.
Bow is so fun
It would be amazing if they included a Coop Horde Mode in the Factions Remake!
We, Factions Players, are still there
We didn’t go anywhere;)
i think i’ll re download it good vid man
Yessss!
Hey what do you think about the gameplay leaks about the remake to me I think it’s older gameplay from earlier test for the game it just doesn’t feel like something naughty dog would do
Stay tuned video incoming
Great video poop! ✌🏻
I dont have that big of an issue with OP weapons or boring playstyles. Its always the cheaters and hackers that get to me.
Dont get me wrong I still want to delete bomb expert, tac, covert3, shotgun etc.
But the wallshooters and the lack of consequences is always the thing I hate most.
And lastly I wanna say that there needs to be ranked matchmaking lobbies. I'd consider my factions skill level to be average. And I often find myself either being stomped by skilled veterans or beating noobs with ease to the point where they just quit the game cus they aren't having any fun.

@@DrPooplove yes that's so true! They never got a good chance to optimize the lobbies.
I used to play the shit out of factions when I was in highschool, sucks the remake won’t have MP cuz I’d love to get back into it
Yeah but they are working on a standalone multiplayer only game!
I love factions to death but It’s so hard now to play against the guys who are level 999 and have been playing since released.. not only this but it’s not so much fun anymore now that I have nobody to play with.
It’s a tough ramp up but the factions discord can be a place to find people to play with!
Well made per usual
Thank you aldy!!
fuck I miss this 10 years ago, feeling old now ha
Factions returns in early 2023❤️
Cant wait!
Great video caca love
Thanks doc!
I started playing this bc of the trophies but now it just became my main game
For sure it’s so much fun!
I used to absolutely demolish on TLOU multiplayer I still have dreams about it sometimes lol If i still played on playstation I would def play. suuuper fun.

Is the new faction gonna be a battle Royale since that’s what base factions is like.
I think it will have a BR mode
Would love to see Naughty Dog come back and fix Factions 😭 but they won’t.
I wish :((((((
part of me wonders
if there hadn't been a strong blacklash from the Factions community to the news that Part II wouldn't include a multiplayer mode
would we even have a Factions 2? 🤔🤔

I didn't even have a PS3 when Part I/Factions released. Played the game at a friend's.
I bought a PS3 because of Factions 😊
@@ian_eberhard9058 wow see now that is some
factions love!
factions and tarkov are the only games i play these days
What if they get combined in F2?
If you are playing against a low level player who is playing well the odds are that they are using a modded controller that allows for aim assist, no recoil and faster shooting. 9 times out of 10 I quit those matches about halfway because what is the point of playing against a person who can rotate 90 degrees while you are shooting them and you end up being downed.
Sounds like you accuse everyone of cheating and you leave the match no matter what if you are getting your cheeks clapped
It's a lot of fun but the lobby makes the COD multiplayer community look like Latter Day Saints.
Doc u need to expose jay where is that im still waiting 🥺
True I really do need to very very soon!
@@DrPooplove thx u 🤣🤣
NO PLZ
@@busdriverjay no
Still this is the best multiplayer till now
Agree 100%
F 2 gonna have br
I think so
Bro you know what , i dont personally think Factions is underrated. I find pretty much full lobies i.e. 8 player battles at least in Supply raid and interrogation..
This is true there are a lot of people that recognize but it’s not nearly as massive as it deserved to be
The cheaters. They got to get rid of the wallshooting. I literally just quit a match because of wallshooting.
Yeah wallshooters ruin this game
It's still fun, even if you suck at it
Agreed
I wish they patched out those stupid out of bounds glitches ruins the game but whatever too late now
Yeah I feel like at least the out of bounds glitches could have been easy to fix
imo i think the online is trash to many bugs hit detection and weapon sway dookie match making shitty oh and the weapons omg sometimes in matches it feels like you shooting blanks and the enemy feels like the gods blessed the enemy wit a one hitter quitter the game haves potential but naughty dog is like company this gives you a shitty product with beautiful wrapping why remake a game when cant fixed the small bull shit that players get away with
its full of glitches🤣
I mentioned that
Top three well made multiplayer for me: Max Payne 3 MP, MGS4 MP and TLOU MP.
I heard MGS4 mp was good!
I hope the devs start updating and patching og factions after factions 2 comes out
Unfortunately I doubt it
I still play this everyday and I’ve met some cool people and of course the occasional wall shooter.
Im still playing all the time too. Love it
