Fuck, I want to go so bad!!!

Ok, in desperation I'll post this. I'm currently living 2 hours or so north of San Francisco (Ukiah to be exact - house sitting my in-law's home while they are out of the country + a good cheap place to search for a job) but can't make it all the way down to San Francisco for the launch event. I can make it as far south as Santa Rosa or so and if there are any Gafers from that area heading down I'd love to meet up and drive down. Of course, I would share the cost of gas, tolls, parking, etc. My Tuesday is wide open so I'm down with staying late in the city and even doing some R2 gaming afterward.

If anyone in that area is heading down and would be up for letting me meet up and bum a ride down please send me a PM.

There's a pretty major bug with the "no health regen" mod in multiplayer. I just played two rounds of (40) Orrick and once in EACH round I managed to have my health reduced (apparently) to exactly 0 (or 1) while in Ironheart...

And I became unkillable. In one round I eventually 'naded myself to death after about 60 kills and in the other I just fell over and got a skull in the middle of nowhere.

In no way was I trying to achive this... I had no idea it was possible. It just happened.

Same thing happened to me except that I actually couldn't be killed. I reported it on the beta forums and Insomniac asked me for more details and said they were looking into it.

it seems like theres no real reason not to use the carbine.... its far and away the best gun.
Click to expand...

Marksman and Fareye dominate the Carbine. It has zero range beyond about five feet.

Carbine is for people with no aim. It's good on Subways, that's about it (in other words, small levels with tight quarters where mobility is extremely important - oh and the fact the secondary fires are a dime a dozen... needs to be toned down [even though it already ahs been... still far too frequent]). Marksman kills faster than Carbine at close range with good enough aim and lets you reach out and touch pretty much anyone even on the biggest maps.

Fareye is pretty broken with its reload speed and rapid fire.

For sure, I also wonder why they decided to drastically change the design of it if R2 picks up right after R1. Doesn't make a lick of sense.

I believe its called the Mark III so its a new iteration. As for it taking place right after R1 thats true but its only the first level. After that the rest of the game takes place years after.

Agree with Fareye comments..slow the reload down..60p rooms turn into a sniper fest.

Besides that, its really feeling better and better....shit, remember when the big guys in co-op stood there or walked into walls...how I miss that..I just got my ass kick up and down orick by them, running at me, stomping me, rocketing me..all kinda crap..wow

It's actually pretty amazing how fast Insomniac was able to fix that. It really puts how fast they work into perspective.

close to mid range I'm about 95% sure that I and the rest of my friends can take out anyone's marksman skill.

LOL@ ppl with no aim..I use the carbine on Chicago 40mp, on San Fran(docks) on Orick etc.
The Marksman is a beast of a gun, but it can easily be taken out by the carbine anywhere from up close to mid range.

Yup. If there's a lot of people using the Marksman in a match, I just switch to the Carbine and dominate.

Marksman is a 2 hit kill to the head. Three even with bad aim. You better get a hellacious drop on me. It doesn't help that all the beta maps but one are virtually made for Marksman/Fareye.

The beta is probably ending soon, but I just got an e-mail from Sony with a code. If anyone wants a code, quote this message.

So damn jealous

they selling it?
Click to expand...
Mine is. I am not into this game as it is an FPS and I have vertigo, but I found this pic on that one imageboard we will not talk about here, called my walmart, and lo and behold they have it and are selling it.

YMMV! Good luck!

played competitive the last three houres and found it to be real wowsome, after my flopped first try a few days ago. even against all your complaints i think the splicer really rocks :D

one short question: is the xp und stat tracking in competitive disabled for the beta, or do i have some wired bug?
stats in coop get tracked btw.

I believe Insom said that all of the covers would be available on their website and you could download and print whichever one you like best.

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?????

Anyone?

I just started playing competitive mode and I've been getting sniped with one shot pretty much 50% of the time.

Lost all credibility.
So yeah Aeon712 sent me a couple party invites (I'm AllTheParts on PSN), but I can't seem to join for some reason. I accept the invite through "party controls" or whatever but I get a weird message that says I do not have "permission" to join party. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

edit: ah crap wrong thread. VERY sorry for bumping this.
