HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ya, what the hell is with that?! We did it again on that Meltdown game last night. We lost the node a bunch of times because we'd run around trying to defend other nodes from a distance. Meanwhile, the enemy quietly walks in behind us and takes the node we're supposed to be watching. Comedy of errors, I say.
You know, this bodes well for Warhawk. If Aeon and I ever get in one of those two player vehicles, I'll be driving over cliffs while he shoots at birds. Defence FTW!

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.

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

Hey folks. I've had this game since November, but save for clearing the first stage, admittedly didn't give it much of a shot back that. (Same with Gears of War). Well, having finished GoW last night, I dedicated today into starting a new Resistance file and giving the game another shot.
I just cleared the Pylon (Nottingham) stage, and am taking a dinner break. Neat game so far. Not as clever or good as GoW was, but so far, lacking some of GoW's more critical flaws.
How far am I, in rough percentages? (Just started the stage at Northern Command... got separated from Parker and most of the Brit troops (again).
Another thing. Every once in a while, the Sixaxis cuts out either causing it to cease responding for a few seconds, or causing whatever direction I was traveling/looking and/or whatever button(s) I was pressing to get "stuck". Is this a flaw with the game, or something? It hasn't cost me a respawn yet, but it's pretty freaking annoying.

Fun night indeed. Sorry for disbanding the party though. My DSL re-sync'd with a resulting network error. I got online afterwards, but you guys were still in the game and I didn't felt like waiting, so I called it a night. A few guys were early on and the session prior to the disconnect was like ~7h long, hehe time flies when ya havin fun. I hope the realigning wasn't too much trouble.

It is definitely a system problem...My controller made me walk off a cliff outside of the Imperial City in Oblivion last week.
Only way to solve the issue, as of now, is to have it connected via USB when playing. I make sure to have it connected USB when playing online especially....I got super pissed a few months ago at controller spazzes and stopped playing Resistance because of it...but it is too much fun to just put down...

I have the exact opposite experience...oddly enough. The controller never (watch it happen today) drops when playing PS2 games. They really need to fix this problem....it gets in the way of me getting owned playing multiplayer.
Seriously. I suck at Resistance online.....I love it so though.
That was really a great game!patsu said:
We also had a very awesome CTF game. We won both rounds, but the second one was a bit of a drag. We were leading 1:0 and they played nothing but defense protecting their flag. A long and fierce battle, but when the last flag arrived at our base, it was one big party, the whole gang hopping around firing their last ammo into the air :lol
... and we don't talk about the fact that I've almost returned one of their flags back to their base in a moment of disorientation

Four of them were running circles around me in Papa. Eventually I gave up and went to the Roundhouse instead (Echo ?). And there I saw one of our non-GAF guys camping at the LAARK generation point, looking downwards at the counter... like a statue, while a human enemy just feets away was fighting furiously against me with a flamethrower.
The room was kinda small with burning fire "everywhere". It's very satisfying when we won the game against an overall stronger team.
CTF is my favorite objective game because it's small enough and the roles are very clear cut at any point in time.
Ha ha ! Is that Manchester ? I still get lost in that map sometimes. They ought to project Human and Chimera insignia into the sky like Batman.

That's annoying. Good to hear that there's a sync fix as far as the Sixaxis is concerned, but that won't work for me. The included cable is WAY too short to reach me. Pity Sony couldn't extend it to a reasonable length, like MS did. Anyone know where I can (cheaply) find a lengthy USB cable that works with the PS3?
I wonder why the hell this controller issue isn't discussed more. Seems like a fairly glaring flaw in an already extremely unimpressive controller. I only own Resistance (and Blast Factor, which I never play), so I spend most of my PS3 time either watching movies or folding, neither of which have given me much of an opportunity to experience this controller sync issue.
Thanks for answering my questions though!
Holy crap that stage was a cop out. Seemingly endless monotonous tunnels with the promise of interesting fights due to the Intel on the Angel creature, not to mention whatever was burrowing the non-man-made tunnels.
Only to end in a lame fight where the "burrower" dumps a bunch of fodder grunts, and an Angel that dies via cutscene. Bleeeeeh.
Alright, so those weird, long-legged things from the room before made for a mildly amusing battle. Still.

Well, the controller was an issue at launch...Sony is pretty much aware of it.
Secondly, it's happened far less frequently to me now...I've only had one case of it in the last 2 months. Do you have the latest system update?
As far as an extention cord goes...if I were in your position I would head over to a store that does custom cables. There's one where I live and they have reasonable prices. I don't think you'll find anything at big box retailers.
I played over a wired connection last night...and still got disconnected from a match! :lol It is set to a static IP that is a DMZ...so there shouldn't be any issues with ports.
I don't mind that...compared to how it was over my wireless (I would start lagging)...it's a whole lot better.
I did horrible last night...and while I could blame it on the fact that I didn't sleep the night prior...
My Motorola BlueTooth headset is still giving me troubles. I'm spring cleaning and I found some french manuals for older games, and I found one for ATV3 for the PS2. On the back cover, they showed a slick Sony brand USB headset! That's what I've been looking for! I haven't found that in any retail store though...not even The Sony Store. I'll take a look online.

Nah, I'm fully updated with version 1.70, so whatever the issue is, it hasn't been resolved. Perhaps there's a software element to it that's been fixed in later games, but still affects some launch titles. I don't think so, but eh, who knows.
I can't believe a third party hasn't come out with a longer cable, or a cable extender yet. Bleh.

I just got Resistance, I want to join in but i'm going to suck since i'm new.
You just need any USB mini-A cable I think. You should be able to buy a 6 foot or larger length for less than $10 at most computer supply stores, which is why you won't see any official connectors or extenders. Maximum USB cable length is 5 meters, which is godonlyknows how many feet in your crazy "Imperial but we don't call it that" units of measurement.

Heh, I mentioned that because I thought you had a lot of distance to cover.
AFAIK they don't sell female to male USB cables, just longer USB cables, I could be wrong though, let me check online.
Actually I found a 6ft one at Best Buy. Buy a couple of those...but that's $44 Cdn.
Again, if I were in your situation, I'd get a longer one at half that price by getting it custom built.
Is there a reason why the mini-map in the upper right part of the screen doesnt show up in ranked games? One showing just the direction to go for the flag or the nodes would be nice. I hate having to bring up the whole map when I respawn at PAPA and want to go towards the next enemy node or whatever :/
I'd also whish it was easier to change squad channel midgame but I see there are no free buttons left on the sixaxis for that.
Also, strange bug yesterday. 40p meltdown at Nottingam. Some nodes kept disappearing from the map during the first round. 2nd round was ok.
