Standard meet up times (for whenever you have the opportunity):

Tuesdays 6pm PST

Saturdays 6pm PST

Sundays 6pm PST

(Monday Jan 29th: Times adjusted slightly in favor of the ESTeemed)

[NEW] CLAN PAGE!!!

Recently updated with news, including the new ban policy, please visit and read.

http://vjarmy.com/clangaf/

The login is "gaf", and the password is a five-letter word starting with "w" that is frequently used within the clan. (If you can't figure it out, PM Remy.)

If anyone wants rights to help contribute, please drop Remy a PM about that as well.

Suggestions suggest(!) that creating parties and going into ranked games together would be the preferred thing to do for the meet ups. So no longer do the first one to get online create a room but instead invite everyone to a party. This however makes it very important that you're all a part of the NeoGAF clan (pm kaching with details, make sure you've logged on to Resistance online at least once before) or simply have all folks listed above on your friend list. Again, the first one to get online should start a party and invite the others as they come online.

Also, it has come to my attention that over 20 people have started to show up for these meetups and that means one party is not enough. If that is the case then one of you simply need to create a second party. If you're the party leader (of either) then posting your details in this thread would be helpful.



The Wedge tactic explained:

The "flying wedge" is the term given to our tendency to mob together in a violent swarm and shoot the everliving hell out of anyone who dares get near us. It leads to multiple assists per kill which leads to a 20-60% increase in points. 16 points for a kill is far better than 10!

It does not, despite its name, resemble a true flying wedge - although generally whoever is at the front of the pack will get gunned down while those behind break through and destroy the opposition. So maybe it's not completely inaccurate.

Also people, it would be a big plus if everyone invested in a headset. For headset details and recommendations, follow this link. Good group play is helped by using your headset to report in changes that occur in the heat of battle. Enemy groups, Snipers, Node status and so forth.

A great addition
was made to http://www.myresistance.net on Monday Feb 5th in the form of leaderboards viewable straight from the site. It's time to get famous or die trying.

For those who missed the details on the 1st UPDATE (aka patch) which released December 21st you can read the details here.

Hey all-

Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment are happy to announce that we will be instituting a new ban policy for Resistance: Fall of Man online gameplay, effective immediately. Players may report cheaters using lag devices or using exploits to leave the intended playable area. Make a report by sending a private message to the MyResistance.Net "cheating" account (username: cheating). Cheating and the use of in-game exploits is not allowed in any game type, including custom and private games.

To enforce this policy we have in-game moderators documenting players who are involved in using, discovering, or sharing exploits with others. These moderators have the ability to join and observe any game or user in ranked, custom, or private games without the knowledge of the players in those games.

Initial bans for first-time offenders will be 24 hours. Bans will grow in length with each successive rules-violation, and attempts to circumvent a ban are grounds for an extension of it.

If you have questions, please feel free to post them in this thread.

Thanks!
Insomniac Games/Sony Computer Entertainment


PS! Please don't quote this post unless you're on a new page (where this isn't posted).

I got a little angry with my aiming skills in TDM on Resistance MP.

I decided to take the controller apart and replace the analog sticks with the ones from the Controller S. Suprisingly they fit, but they need to be sanded down a bit so that the stick has enough free room to move.

The triggers are a real pain to deal with when taking the controller apart and they're different than the ones used in the PS2. I'm sure you can figure out what happened next. :\

On Sunday I was with the Party but for the second round there were some shuffling because some of their players left, and so I was sent to the second team (perhaps because my stats sucked so badly that first round. :)), and so when the match ended, it only gave me the option to leave the game, meaning that it disconnected me from the party. It's a bug they should address. It's funny because we had 17 people in the party, and 3 nonGAF members on the team, the automation should take those players off for team balancing.

As far as the strategy goes, I agree for the most part with what Kittonwy said. I do think there is a time and place for rushing, but we all have to be on the same page when it comes to that.

I think we should use the lobby more as a tool for pre-game organization. Because when we are in a party scenario, we have all types of players. Some who've only played once in a while, some who play quite often. To get the new guys more comfortable, we can quickly go over certain squads and such at that point, rather than in the game where we are scrambling to play and organize ourselves at the same time. The whole point is not to be super organized in the lobby, but just to lay some clear simple guidelines so everyone is comfortable...that's all I'm saying.

I agree with the sentiment that our strats aren't necessarily our problem, but rather our execution is.

See you guys tonight! I'm gonna let one more Work Unit finish in a 1/2 hour and then I'll be on.

Wispy: I felt the same way too, when playing it for the first time. It gets better later, after the 6th level or so. At the same time, when I finished the game I wasn't really amazed by it...perhaps because while I was playing Resistance I was playing Prey...so I wasn't really able to "focus" on the game maybe. I'm playing it again on Hard difficulty and already it's a lot better IMO.

The online multiplayer is pretty good, but I'd focus on playing the Team Objective play types. Free for All Deathmatch is pretty good IMO, but Team Objective is better because of the unique gametypes.

If you liked Halo 2 online, this is the PlayStation equivalent IMO. Heh, well obviously it was influenced by Halo 2's online setup. Not only that, but the experience (at this point) is much like how Halo 2's team play is like, a lot of team chatter (wasn't like this when I first got Resistance...no one talked), a lot of coordination and strategy is required.

That was one of the coolest moments there. I do like the squad thing. The Assault game was the highlight of the night.... and Chewbacca.

[I got a network error the last TDM I was playing. I decided to just call it a night after that]

Tonight rocked. After the misfires we had the last few clan nights, tonight's execution was spot on. Great work, guys.

The squad strat worked wonderfully on Manchester during the Meltdown matches. There was some confusion with what squads to use for nodes, but eventually that got sorted out and it was smooth sailing after that.

Tonight's second official Assault game was awesome. Again, the squads came into play and were used effectively. Offence took out the enemy nodes quick and efficiently. Me and the other guys defending our nodes had a fairly easy time, but it was still fun. I'm sure as more people play Assault it will get harder.

Couple of notes on the Assault game in Somerset:

1. Delta has a LAARK. This node cannot be lost.
2. Delta has three points of entry, one of which is up the hill from behind.
3. Echo can't be seen from Delta, but me and careksims (sp?) could see the offensive squad battels at echo moving in our direction, at which point we were able to help out a bit.
4. The guys at Bravo were sniping a lot - worked really well for them, and will probably be a very good way to defend it.
5. Even though Delta and Bravo were really far apart, we all stayed on the same squad. I haven no idea if it's better to just keep it that way or if node defence should be split too.
6. Me and careksims (sp?) could see people from our party/team spawning at our base. No idea if that was intentional or by mistake, but always keep in mind that you can spawn at your own nodes or at any neutral node.

That's about it. Here's hoping we get more Assault! It was a shocker tonight, that's for sure.

Note: Aeon, you're getting good man. kittowny, 4/23!? Holy shit!

I'm have problems with my left analog and now my R1. I tried taking it apart the other day and when I tried seperating the two halves of the main shell - I heard what sounded like tape tearing. I stopped there since I don't have a back up joystick and wasn't sure what the sound was. Any clue???

I loved the campaign. Only played on medium but this is definately up there with the best FPS ever. A mix of Halo, Timesplitters, Half Life and Call of Duty. Much stolen but so well put together.

Tried multi the other night and it was also fun, maybe not Halo 2 class but then again what is? Better than every other online console fps I tried besides Halo.


That picture looks familiiar :lol

Their right down at the bottom of the page (something daft like 130odd I did) Its page 32 if anyone needs it for future reference. I did it to show that first 2hours the game isnt up to much but when you hit Manchester its lovely.

why did he get kicked?

Not sure. While joining two games in a row we lost two people, Sutdawg and Remy (I think) and then Sutdawg and Kittonwy. Sutdawg was persistant and joined again after I reformed. The very next game he got disconnected while entering the game. He's running wireless with DSL so I'll try helping him disable SSID and maybe opening up some ports. Any other suggestions?

He should forward these ports from his router to his PS3:

TCP: 5223
UDP: 3478 - 3479
UDP: 3658

Those are for PSN. Games might actually use something else. But, I've been using that on my firewall and things have been good.

He'd be a fool not to try!
To be official it was three kicks just as the game was starting a one disband near the very end of assualt.
All I wanted was to get to Supreme Commander last night- 900 points away(tears) :-(

I got to Sup Com and I still don't have my new skin. Now I have to wait until I'm three stars. Gah. I like my spec ops skin but I can use a new one.

Unrelated to current discussion, late, and probably not even interesting, but I just got to Manchester and Holy Hell this game is brilliant.

Starts off slow, but it's escalating into my favourite FPS ever.

Game with Insomniac, tomorrow night, 5pm PST. Check the Custom Games list for the correct game (should say something about it being an Insomniac match).

We'll have folks on the NA and the EU servers.
