No. They flank. They shoot while moving. They get cover.rjcc said:

Shields are timed. They need to charge. And yes those guys do kinda just stand there, they're the dumb ones. The regular chimera do NOT. I've even seen them runaway from a house when the house got filled with soldiers.rjcc said:

Is there anyway to seperate the crouch and run buttons? Having both actions on one button is incredibly annoying!
rjcc said:
so they are brain dead stupid and yet you have not finished the level... what does that make you? :lol
seriously though, zombies are supposed to be dead stupid, thats why there are so many of them... only issue co-op has is path finding that you will notice at later parts of the level with big bosses...

ok, played for 2 Hours last night(No thanks to Tampa Rays :|)
Its growing on me, The Marksmen, Carbine, FarEye are definitly the "top tier" weapons, everyone will be using them.
Though i find the Splicer very effective in doors, and i still think it needs an "iron sight" zoom in, The Grenade launcher is very weak but i like the alt fire. Bulleye stil feels a bit off, thought i would get use to it but i dunno.
But omGOD Insomniac pussified the Shotgun, tried it for the first time and man....no use and it does'nt have that Awsome sound it had in Fall of Man.
and i think the L2 in Multiplay should JUST be sprinting, that kneeling down in Resistance pretty useless.
anyways, Love Co-op, just cut down on the Boss' health, and make em more active

can't finish a level by myself when I have to activate two switches at once to progress. played several matches this morning, same thing every time, complete half the objective, gun down waves of idiotic enemies (zombies, chimera or the big guys w/ the shields)..watch my teammates run around in circles

Tried Co-op last night. I can say that I wont be playing it again until Im with people i know. I was Spec ops, and had the medics run off on their own, while everyone else was on the otherside of the map. Plus, the medics werent even healing, they were just laying into enemies trying to level up.

Me too...this was my main reason for wanting this game..the 60 player lag free awesome multiplayer with coop mode is all gravy...thick delicious gravy
Are they tweaking things as the beta goes along...I played in a 40 player room in Orick last night on TDM, and the spawns were just perfectly placed, made for great action, kept my squad together, never had an enemy pop in front of me, or behind me...just seemed like it should be for the first time.
Weapons also felt more appropriately powered..but it could be me getting more accurate.
After playing some more over the weekend I think I like R2 better than R1. A few points:
-Skirmish works with 60 players, but I think 60 is too much for any other mode.
-The Shotgun, grenade launcher, and bullseye need serious revisions
-The marksman is the best new weapon
-Skirmish is great but it really needs addition objectives besides priority targets and obtaining/defending towers.
-Grenade trow distance could be altered a little bit but this really isn't a big concern cause it seems like they do more damage in 2 than in one and if that is the case I understand why the throw distance was shortened.

Got two betakeys today but no PS3 :/
Seriously, why are there crosshairs when you use iron sight? Even when I use the so called "iron sight", the bullets go all over the place and even if I aim at the head I can barely get a headshot or at least more damage. Also sometimes the game takes too long to recognize when I want to sprint as if there is a delay or disconnect between pressing the button and execution (really hate this). There needs to be somekind of hit indicator like they have in CoD4 the white cross because half the time I'm not even sure I'm hitting anything.

What exactly is supposed to be impressive about the water in this game??
Just played sierra 117 in Halo 3 and the lighting is a generation ahead of R2. Slight exaggeration.

You just made me realize I have an extra beta key too, also no PS3
If anyone wants it, let me know.
If I could make one major suggestion for JS (since I can't access the beta site at work), it's to add in an alert in big letters in the co-op and competive lobbies so that the host knows they are the host. Can't say how many games I've been in where the host has left and it's reassigned to someone else who doesn't know they are the hosts.
Usually I yell to everyone that if you see start game on your screen, you are the host and about half the time, that person ends up starting the game and saying they didn't even know they were the host.

Geoff9920 said:Thanks man. That would explain all the crazy options selected when I go to play a match. My personal favorites being the ones with unlimited rounds so the match never ends.
Yeah you don't have options like low damage, high damage, unlimited rounds in ranked games. Would be too easy to rig your stats.

You still get experience points for not finishing the games.
Once you progressed past level 4 (I think), you will see a marked improvement in the AI. The Chimeras that used to bunch together in the teleporter will now roam further, or rush to the other teleport to support their comrades. In outdoor, they will be all over the hills to track you down even if you tried to hide in the shacks. The Titans will start to fight better too.
The only problem is the stationery Stalker (happens almost everytime) and the 2 stationery Titans at the top of the towers (in 1 level config only since the levels reconfig itself for every new game).
EDIT: Despite the known flaws in co-op, I enjoyed the games very much too. I just want Insomniac to improve on the outstanding issues, so that more people will play them over one year.
Its called recoil. I've never shot a gun in my life, but I know that if I tried to shot a automatic gun, it would spray regardless if I used the iron sight.RobertM said:
Thats where ppl who are good at fps differ from ppl who arent good. Some of us know how to adjust to the recoil.
Secondly, your crosshair is red when your hitting something, their blood is splattering and xp pops up. If you cant see these things, stay out of mp and just play co-op and sp since all your doing is bitching because of your poor vision and lack of skill.
I have no problems running, seems like your the only person complaining, meaning your the problem, not the game.
I avg about 10-15 Sweet dreams per game(headshots) with the carbine..Get good?

Chicago w/ 60 players is an awesome, awesome map. Wow...
I only played one game of co-op as a Soldier in Orick, but I ran out of ammo and couldn't find any anywhere. What's the deal? I basically just had to run around trying to knife Chimera. It was a futile exercise. :lol

Spec ops give you ammoTheJollyCorner said:
After playing the beta extensively, I've come to a few conclusions. Some of you have either played very little of the beta or weren't paying attention while playing, since I have seen impressions that are simply false. Even from some that I usually considered to be reliable posters. Especially regarding co-op.
Regarding co-op enemies, when you get to higher levels, their agression increases dramatically and they become much smarter. At first running and hiding would work for me, but not anymore. I saw a very impressive attack from the Chimera yesterday where they were literally seeking out and destroying every living person on the map. I know because when they finished me off, they immediately turned their attention to one of the few who had lived through their initial onslaught despite the fact he was not shooting at them. They also were evasive and used cover to protect themselves from me before rushing where I was holed up.
As far as competitive MP, about the only things I can agree with is increasing hip firing accuracy and toning down the amount of extra stuff on the screen, such as the hit indicator and beserk indicator. Other then that, run speed wise and general feel wise it's not all that different from R1. I prefer R2 in a lot of ways, including the sprint speed and especially the jump height. Hell, they even fixed the Y axis speed issue from the first.
In the end, either some of you guys are really jaded or haven't played much of the beta.

It's possible that I might have one. I had 7 keys and I got a Qore one monday but I don't recall if I gave it to someone else. I must have given 9 or 8 keys all togheterGuessWho said:
After playing the beta some more I'm not sure if I'll still get the game. After a while the bullet sponge shit started to get on my nerves. When I'm using a minigun that has to spool up before firing any shots I expect the payoff when I catch someone from behind and aim for their head to be instant death. Now I usually kill the person but when it takes damn near 2 seconds of continuous fire to do so I'm not really feeling it.
I guess it's just one of those stylistic things where you have to whittle down each others lifebar to actually get a kill in comparison to COD4 where even a person with the Juggernaut perk can still get wrecked if you hit them in a highly fatal area like their head or chest. I'm gonna keep playing the beta until it ends and go back to COD4. I might open Far Cry 2 and see how that multiplayer fares so that I at least get a little break from playing the COD4 maps over and over again, especially since I'm not getting COD:WAW after playing that beta as well.

Please pay attention to what this man is saying about co-op. It is true and reflects my personal experience as well (once you progressed past a certain level).
It is rather difficult (and fun !) now -- if you ignored the bosses. At higher level, the bosses die quicker, so it's not that bad. People should form good teams to fight the Chimeras. I doubt a random team can make it far (unless perhaps you have 8 excellent medics on-staff).
