Haven't tried the beta yet (still d/loading, big ass file!) but even since R1, Insomniac's fine tuning of the analog sticks range/sensitivity is one of the best. I'd say COD 4 is up there with R1 in regards to controls on the Dualshock 3. In a perfect world, Insomniac/Infinity Ward's settings/tuned controller sensitivity/feel would be part of everyone's tool set for PS3 programming when it came time to fine tune the controls for PS3 fps. Other fps games have offered up great controls but there's something especially smooth about the controls for R1...AgentOtaku said:
So after doing some research it seems that there is no KBM support 
Really wish it was an option, but whatever. I'll have to spend some more time with the beta now to see if I really do want to go out and buy this. Enjoy sniping, but the aiming is just so damn difficult with the controller

Enjoy sniping, but the aiming is just so damn difficult with the controller I just got into the beta myself today due to me pre-ordering from GAME, although i wasn't even aware you could get a code this way
I played my first ever game of resistance mp, and i did better than i thought i would do for my first go ^^
The marksman seemed like a fun weapon to use and i had a fair amount of success with it, as well as with the bullseye even though i had a hard time trying to tag people :lol
I also played a round of coop, which was enjoyable once our team started trying to work together a bit more. I can definately see how much fun that mode could be with the right people playing.
I'll probably have a few more matches and then leave it untill the full game comes out, as i still really need to finish up the Resistance 1 SP first. I got the game recently with my ps3 and i'm probably only about half way through it at the moment, but i'm enjoying it a lot already

Shareable meaning these codes aren't unique? Or do you mean once I've downloaded the beta I can just copy it over to a friends PS3? I want to be able to play the beta with my friends and we don't exactly live close to each other. Don't use my PS3 much so I'm not aware of all of its functionality.
One Gafer already asked me if it was ok to give the code to someone else even though I responded first. I said go ahead...not sure what the big deal is. Its not like I'm lying and saying I don't have my own code already. If a Gafer doesn't want to give me another code they don't have to. :\

BTW ... thank you IG for the marksman. I've loved a burst fire BR ever since Halo 2 and missed this weapon greatly in the first.
Marksman + Sniper (if you can find one after spawning) is almost like cheating. Also ... are there no more weapon spawns? I didn't make the connection to the first until now oddly enough.

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I'm asking is how many unique environments or locations are the maps based on? I understand you can chop up a huge Orick map into many semi-different maps smaller maps, but they are all going to look more or less the same.
Thanks.
Thanks jstevenson! This is rad. So, is there a way to stay in a match after it ends? I see there's a party system of some kind, but I noticed it too late to stick with some good people I was in a coop match with. Most people haven't been very communicative or good. Spec Ops people REALLY have to give ammo a lot and a lot of the time they just attack.
I've been switching classes around to whatever's needed, mostly good spec ops, but I have to admit that soldier is quite fun (unusual for me).
anyone playing tonight, and if so, how would we hook up and stay in a game?

It's just so much more convenient to send messages in the menu as opposed to pressing the XMB button, then scrolling to your friends list, and then pressing triangle, and then creating a message.dralla said:
Pressing triangle does nothing. On the first game, there was an option of 'join game' when selecting a friend's name. There only seems to be 'join party' which doesn't exactly do much.

not an idiot
you're right, and not only that, the whole situation makes itself worse, b/c people that are looking for a normal game, can't find one b/c the few that are there are full and so we jump into the 1 hit game b/c of no other choice, and others do the same, so the problem makes itself worse.garath said:
when i play FPS on the pc now, everyone is playing with 1 shot.
btw... did that whole thing originate in the unreal series? i remember it running rampant there first.
I just can't get into the feel of R2 even after giving the multiplayer another shot. It just feels really slow, clunky, and sluggish. I can't stand how much of a clusterfuck the multiplayer becomes at times, be it in small games or full large scale games. Visually it looks pretty subpar outside of some standout effects like the skyboxes and water. Some elements of the visuals look downright ugly, including the character models.
The intergration of the clan/party/friends system is really well done however. Maybe third times a charm and I'll get into it after giving it yet another try. Who knows. I still think Resistance 1 feels so much better in terms of gameplay and flow. The game kinda feels rushed and a tad sloppy to me. Then again, it's only a beta. I'd prefer that Insomanic take an extra year of development time for their next project. Either way I'm still looking foward to the single player part of R2.
Playing this and Killzone 2 back to back really does no favors to Reistance 2 in any dept, be it visuals, gameplay, sound design, etc. I'll give the multiplayer another chance later tonight. Hopefully I can get into it. I've also had a horrible time trying to connect to games. Half the time it says a game is full or brings up a network error.

Soon, though the first review hit today from OPM UK: 9/10
... keep in mind that they gave RFOM a 7/10 as well.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I wonder what the Swedish magazine (can't remember the name of it) that gave the original Resistance 3/10 will give this one...jstevenson said:Soon, though the first review hit today from OPM UK: 9/10

Quick question, I noticed that there was a competetive medal for getting 100 kills with the LAARK, which means that there's a LAARK in multiplayer, right? So how's that gonna work? Are people gonna be able to choose a LAARK class and spawn with a rocket launcher everytime?????

I'm having some real issues with the beta...it feels really slow and sluggish. Playing Co-Op with my brother was horrible as tons of grims would spawn and the tortary gun? would run out of ammo fast. I can't even switch weapons, it says to press triangle but any weapon we pick up or find(Maybe just messages?) isn't usable.
Resistance 1 felt so much more tighter and faster. This feels very slow and complex, the berserk thing makes no sense to me, L2 to run is awkward and...hrm. I was expecting a nice graphical update, which we got, but the gameplay seems to be weaker now...
