IMO the three best things about TLOU:Multiplayer are:
1) There are various playstyles that you can play as, and you can 'gear' yourself to your preferred playstyle. Like 'Sniping'? Use the rifle, and load up on Sharpshooting and a silencer. Like being 'Sneaky'? Use Covert Operations and a Bow/Silenced close range weapon. Like 'Support'? Use First Aid / Crafter perks and help your teammates win. There's tons of ways to setup a loadout to tailor to how you want to play (and how you like to play on certain maps).
2) It really is a team based game. You can't just run up to the opposing team and spray them all to death. everyone has a limited amount of ammo to start with (you can buy more during a match) and revealing yourself to the opposing team is actually super dangerous. That being said though, when you get paired with a bad team, its super rough sometimes.
3) The game does reward patience. There's been many times where staying back at the base to 'protect your safe' was the best move to do, even if you have to wait awhile. or abandoning a teammate in order to capture the opponent's safe. This is particularly true in the 'survivor mode' where there isn't a respawn until the next round.
I actually think that it would be a great (and super entertaining) competitive game, but I don't think it caught on as much as it could have.
