Yes, but in Competitive mode only. And tbh, imo, it doesn't look too hotSpike said:
I does so in single player from what I've seen in videos.

Just got my PS3 back today from Sony, anyone want to send me a key? Pretty, pretty please?
Love how frame rate holds steady even when a shit ton of stuff is happening on the screen
Agree with others that the boss AI needs improvement. It would be a lot more challenging and fun if the bosses were more mobile and reacted more to the thousands of bullets being pumped into them.
As others have noticed, there are network bugs (no XP at end of a match, timeouts, etc). I'm wondering if there is any way to clean up the audio quality of the voices over the mics. I know the bt headset with SOCOM allows a high quality mode. Is that available for regular bt users? If not, do you think that's possible/feasible to add something like that to online JS?
Also noticed a few instances of big enemies really clipping through the enviornment. Not a huge deal but something I've seen every now and then.

Hah, I've been lagging awesomely, when I can connect at all, because my ISP did some "upgrade" recently and apparently ran into some problems and for a few more days (early next week worst case scenario) they're traffic shaping the hell out of everyone's connection, only port 80 works fine basically. But I digress, point is it doesn't help me at all... neither in R2 nor especially in cod:waw. It's amazing the things I do when I watch myself through my opponent's killcam. o
Helluva time to be www-bound...
EDIT: anyone still got keys? (JStevenson?) I obviously got one but am trying to get another for my cousin who's currently loving R1. I missed IGN's giveaway even though I did all that "Comrade" bs. Never got the early warning... meh.

is Resistance class based like CoD4? if so then i'm getting Far Cry now instead of later.
These guys have lag switches, it isn't the same as the situation you described. It is almost impossible to kill them, they do it so they can't die and they rack up points like crazy.FirewalkR said:Hah, I've been lagging awesomely, when I can connect at all, because my ISP did some "upgrade" recently and apparently ran into some problems and for a few more days (early next week worst case scenario) they're traffic shaping the hell out of everyone's connection, only port 80 works fine basically.

Can you explain this to me? How are laggers considered glitchers? I mean, you can't blame them for having crappy connections.
They lag on purpose, dude. Like Firewire said, they have a lag switch and it causes them to be invulnerable and/or teleport across the map, making them impossible to shootMetalmurphy said:

oO You mean they just pause the pr0n download to frag and unpause it to not get hit?JB1981 said:
Never thought of that before :lol
So basically ...
Grenade indicators are really unreliable. I've never even once seen one for a frag grenade (only for hogs and air/fuel). Is that intentional?
There needs to be some form of punishment for team kills. Maybe place an extra delay on the next spawn, like when you accidentally yourself. Stack it up for repeat offenders.
Orrick is still awesome. Chicago is still weird, cramped and pulpy.
Now for the fun part.
1)I don't see the point in having sprint. It's such a waste of a button. There's no stamina (ala Doom 3), and iron sight aiming already slows you down, so there's basically no point in walking. Well, actually, there's no point in separating walking from sprinting. Also do note that the left stick is analog. It already allows players to fine-tune the speed at which they want to move. Let their aim deterioate when they go fast. Limit maximum movement speed when using the iron-sights (already in). Further limit it when crouching (already in). All done. No need for sprint.
It's probably too late to take it out now, probably influenced by some other popular fps, but it's such a dumb inclusion. Sorry. It needed to be said.
2)I don't like how the two-weapon system changes the game. Full loadouts are objectively more awesome. The default weapons are great, and it's good that none of the other weapons drop enemies massively faster. That's fine, because it's really not about grabbing upgrades and getting absolute empowerment. It's about specific situations calling for specific advantages, strategy.
In R2, 90%+ play with their default loadout, they never pick up a weapon. Maybe they change their default to Auger or something, but people are just reluctant to swap out their weapons in the field, and so am I, and it's really no surprise. Why would I want to give up my Carbine? It's an awesome weapon!
We all know where the inspiration for this one came from but it's still a poor choice. I think Bungie only did it because they thought they had a controller limitation to work around. Insomniac has proven several times (Ratchet series, Resistance 1) that full loadouts work just fine on a controller. I don't see anything gained from this choice to now cut back to two weapons. Does anyone?
Or in short, the casuals ostensibly win, but in the end we all lose. Le sigh. I am maintaining my preorder and will most likely have lots of fun. It's just some of the changes seem ill inspired.

is competitive mode (not co-op) class based also? i'm hoping it isn't because I would rather get R2 than Far Cry.

I mentioned this a bit earlier. Is this intended or broken? Even for hedgehog and air fuel, I rarely get an indcator. Usually (at least on my screen) I just fall over dead... no graphic, no indicator, no grenade in sight really.

So I am fricken pissed.
I have gone through every setting on my router.
I have enabled the PS3 to be a DMZ so theoretically it should have no connection problems
at all from the router. I have tested every multiplayer game I have they all work perfectly
except for R2. I dont want to buy the game and not be able to get online.

You're not invulnerable while lagged out, and you can't move either.

That's not true. You can move, it'll just stutter alot if there's any object/hitbox interaction. And while you're lagging the hit detection for the other players is totally off.
