If by leader, you mean somebody who can facilitate discussion about strategy, then I think Remy could do a fine job through his website.

If you're talking about somebody giving orders during a game, I don't see a need for one. We're getting a pretty good chemistry going online and I think that as people play more, they find what they're really great at and fill that role when the team needs it. I think most people who are playing right now have a pretty good idea of how the games work now except for Assault. $!%! Assault!

never played an assault game with people outside the clan but the game we did play, our team got whooped

That's how I see it, too.

The new three squad strategy for Breach needs more practice and discipline. For example, someone has to take the role of calling out when to switch squads, otherwise the strategy falls to pieces. That's something any one of us could do, as long as that person understands the strategy.

I suppose the leader role is more for offline stuff than in game.

[ We didn't execute the three squad strategy as well on Sunday, but it did work. when done right. And, when it's right, the attack becomes a never ending wedge. ]

I think we switched over too early in the round.

BTW, posted a comment on the clan website for the assault mode.

Yep, I agree. Also there needs to be more people going after Alpha in Nottingham Breach, and the echo-alpha route (the three nodes at the top) in Somerset Breach instead of wasting time on the Bravo/Foxtrot route, my suggestion is we shouldn't even bother with bravo or foxtrot, because that can be overwhelmed by a simple surge and you can't hold it.

I thought all this has been communicated quite clearly in the past but in Somerset, people are still going the Bravo route through the lower part of the map and it makes it ultra-hard to win that map when defense kept getting bombarded by people spawning at a node where they can get instant access to the auger and where both the laark AND the arc charger are spawn.

In Somerset we have to grab the top nodes first, THEN try to get Bravo, and the defense has to keep watch over the closest node (you can watch people coming in from that node, not to mention you have access to the laark), because once we lose it the other side all spawns from there and it's near IMPOSSIBLE to get it back and that puts us on the defensive. We were kind of lucky to win the breach matches we did on tuesday night because we made some tactical mistakes.

As of now the three squad thing only works with one map, in Somerset and Nottingham it's almost better to spawn from the closest node and make the push from there because in Somerset the closest top route houses the laark, arc charger and the auger while in Nottingham alpha houses the laark and the auger, the auger strategy is extremely effective there.

Damn, and _just_ finished the campaign and played online a bit afterwards. I guess I'll check it out later tonight.

The fix is probably for the bugs after the last patch.

Have only 480P/720P checked, Booted up Resistance and it's running at 720P! Is this real?

Resistance always ran in 720p. :|

It only works if we have at least 13-15 depending on how many people are on defense.

It works in Grimsby for sure and it should for Somerset too. Nottingham not so much. I agree. If anything, you end up spawning at alpha.

I think if we look for ways, we can find other uses for 3 squads in other maps and gametypes as well.

Edit: Anybody want to play a couple games tonight. Just got done with my paper and presentation today.

 

[Kittonwy]

Just finished downloading the patch, what's been fixed?

 

[tanod]

Fixed my avatar. I believe they said that after-game lag is gone. One week: Maybe Evolution needs to take a big $^*##!ing hint. :\

EDIT: Probably won't be playing tonight. Kind of exhausted. I'll probably grab the update and log off.

How bout a patch for those stats I lost?

Yeah, still bitter

Saturday's clan meeting should be sweet now that people don't have to wait 30 sec before talking after a match.

I agree Evolution needs to do something about the online mode, the actual gameplay is great which I don't have a problem with, but they need to fix the buddy list thing because I still have no buddies, plus they need to put text-chat in there, most of the time I just don't feel like talking. Something they need to do is have a board where people can let them know what problems there are, like Insomniac is doing with MyResistance, I think that just makes the community so much better.

I'm nearing the end, up to the "burning bridges" chapter.

This game is still awesome.

That is all.

There are sometimes I feel lost when we play in a group, but in general I catch on and move along (ie. which base to attack) but besides that I'm cool

 

[M3Freak]

As I mentioned briefly in previous post, I finished the campaign yesterday. Took me two months to do because I was playing it here and there for maybe an hour or two at a time.

Here's my obligatory post game summary:

1. Everything about the game goes through the roof as it progresses. I remember reading that Insomniac wasn't consistent in the level design, but I beg to differ: it's too purposeful the way the levels were set up. The slow, but massive ramp up was planning from the beginning. Why they did that, I don't know, but I liked it.

2. The

Spoiler

snow in London

: holy shit. I was mesmerized. It looked real.

3. The sound in this game is phenomenal. I only have a 5.1 setup (though it did cost us about $5000), so I didn't get the full 7.1 PCM effect. Still, it rocked - I'm really appreciating the huge improvement in sound in PS3 games.

4. The

Spoiler

Tower in the "Last Hope" level

was terrific. Not only did I spend tons of time just staring at everthing, but it really did fell huge. I also got the feeling it was cold and dry, just like the

Spoiler

intel reports

said.

5. The last battle was freaking awesome. I think I played it 6 or 7 times before I got it right. It was really intense, and I liked having some of the

Spoiler

British soldiers

fighting along with me.

6. The

Spoiler

Angel birthing sacks

were making me nervous. I kept thinking they were going to burst open at any minute and start attacking me from behind. I stayed away from them, and didn't shoot at them either, except for one that was way out in the middle - nothing happened though.

7. Someone was asking way earlier in this thread if Cartwright lived. Well,

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure he did. In the cut scene just before the last battle, you see that lady sitting beside someone in a helcopter. That someone looks injured, but more importantly, he looks exactly like Cartwright. He made it out.

.

I'm looking forward to the next R:FoM game. I want to know more about the R:FoM story. So many unanswered questions!

All in all, a terrific game, made even more memorable by the fact that it's a launch title! 10/10 for me!

 

[Kittonwy]

Nice to see you finally finished the game, M3.

 

[BeEatNU]

I wish I could finish the game

I get stuck between MP and SP, then SP be kicking my ass

 

[FightyF]

Am I the only one who didn't dig the single player experience that much?

I am planning to go through it again on Hard, and already I think it's a better experience...but compared to other FPS games, I wasn't that impressed by it that much.

The best feature, IMO, is the massive scope and size of the levels, and it had the potential of being very open ended and not so linear. Just imagine the Manchester 40p level infested with baddies...that's what I wanted. And so I don't think they used this to maximum effect.

At the same time as playing Resistance, I was playing Prey, and so maybe that kinda hampered with my enjoyment of the game. Prey, IMO, has pretty average combat, but excellent level and puzzle design. Resistance combat seemed pretty good to me, but I just wish the levels were more open ended.

That reminds me, I wish they made the hotel a multiplayer map...even if it was only 8p...it would make a cool map...even for 16p CTF.

I agree about the

snow in London...it looked beautiful, most realistic snow ever...to the point where it can't be topped...that is the pinnacle of videogame snow, I'm not kidding!

I also finished the campaign yesterday, and I agree with pretty much everything M3Freak said. Fantastic game, it would be perfect if Insomniac could work in some "character moments" from Half-Life 2 into the next one though.

 

[Aeon712]

As I mentioned briefly in previous post, I finished the campaign yesterday.

Nice to see you have your Nathan Hale medal online now.

 

[Wollan]

So is there a variety of unlockables for each difficulty or is everything the same across the board with the exception of Super Human?

 

[tanod]

The brilliance of the level design is more pronounced on Hard. It seems that they originally designed them with that difficulty in mind. Check it out. Completely changes the way you play the game from Normal.

 

[Wollan]

Played to the Spires part on Hard. So far so good.

[Aeon712]

So many conversion matches, I just played 3 straight before signing off. It's like Resistance knows I don't like the mode so it's gonna keep giving it to me till I do.

 

[pswii60]

I'm very LTTP here but,

I tried the demo and initially dismissed it as looking rather crap, especially after playing GoW.

BUT then I realised that there is another level in the demo - Nottingham.

OMFG! It's insane. It's like a completely different game. The graphics are amazing, and it also goes to show the true variety between stages. I'm gonna be picking this game up first thing tomorrow!

You have no idea what you're in for. The last third of the game is out of this world. The very last level will shatter your jaw because it's going to drop so fast and so hard against the floor it'll leave a crater. Really, it's true.

I have to say, this game proved to me gaming sites and magazines aren't reviewing games properly. They're finishing them too fast, and probably using easy modes. Online multiplayer is certainly not being reviewed like it should.

I truly do not understand how so many magazines have called this game average.

The game's good. Don't oversell it, though.

 

[Core407]

I'm playing through it on Superhuman now and while it is hard, it is far from Halo Legendary. Still one of the best SP experiences out there and I dig the way they extended the life of the SP with new weapons.

 

[M3Freak]

The game's good. Don't oversell it, though.

Why not? I like it. I like it a lot. I'm not even a FPS fan, so it's surprising I like the game as much as I do.

Besides, all the GAF clan members love it. We wouldn't be in the clan or continually posting in this thread if we didn't like it as much as we do.

At any rate, it's a lof of fun. Not everyone will like it as much as I do: so be it.

 

[Lain]

Finished my first playthrough of the game, and I've really enjoyed it.
Maybe it is because I'm not used to FPS on consoles, as I only loved them on PC and hated them on consoles, but I've found this game to be great. Interesting story, nice weapons, cool levels and atmosphere, all made me wanting the next installment to see where the story goes.
There's also something I really didn't like, and that is getting stuck in some places and being forced to restart the level (also some of the textures looked low res).
Now I'm probably ready to play some ranked game to get my ass handed to me ><.

 

[M3Freak]

Holy shit. I need some Resistance loving. Anyone care to play a few multiplayer rounds with me?
