Resistance: Fall of Man - The Official Thread
- Thread starter Wollan
- Start date
I usually throw 2 at the same time to expand the kill zone. My most successful air fuel kills were in the smaller maps... like The Mall (The outside platform where people love to snipe or auger from), or Subway (Upstairs). They have limited space to run especially when fighting/sniping.

[NEW] CLAN PAGE!!!
Recently updated with news, including the new ban policy, please visit and read.

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

Last night, i played 4 player split screen with some friends for the first time.
As awesome as online is, the sheer joy of talking shit to someone next to you cannot be duplicated.
A Message to next-gen developers: STOP NEGLECTING SPLIT SCREEN!

You better grab a box of tissues and someone's shoulder to lean on. There's going to be a whole lot of crying: I beat you to the 1000 games played medal, remember?

Wasn't it, or have they pushed it out to May?Kittonwy said:April?

Groups of people.
You can use the arc charger to attack several people at once and it's usually a bit more effective that way, as well.
To be honest, I don't use that much (like never) in MP, except to attack nodes, because I think it's harder to judge situations were it may be useful, unlike in SP.
It works really well at close range. However, if I'm at close range I'd rather use a weapon like the shotgun or the Bullseye (my auto-matic shotgun with homing). Also, it seems very range dependent and very useless at long range. So, normally, I'd rather have another weapon drawn and ready.patsu said:

I was experimenting offline with the arc charger the other day with Sutdawg.
Primary and then secondary takes about 2/3 or their energy.
Just the primary takes 3 shots to take the same 2/3 energy away.
I also believe it's more effective against a raging Chimera than humans although our experiments were human vs human.

That's the real trick isn't it? We're on track, but it's hard to nail down a solid date with all the pieces involved.

Oh, no I completely understand you guy's are working hard, I know that developing a game isn't like cooking, I just "wish" is wasn't so, :lol .
Still, that doesn't change any of my excitement for these new maps and the world wide play. You guy's really do outshine the majority of developers in the industry today.
Side Note: I understand there are some (1) Cornhusker fans at Insomniac? I can't quite recall, but some years ago, I thought there was also a K-State student who was hired by you guy's as well? Just curious!

Alright... so I got the scoop for ya:
The maps will be available for purchase in the later part of this month. The maps are pretty much finished, but they rely on the patch (that includes the Worldwide server update) and getting all the regions working together is tricky.
jstevenson said:
Ah, I knew it! haha.
See, I currently live in Manhattan KS, I'm in the military, and I plan to (maybe) go to K-State and get a degree in Graphic Design, hopefully learn to do some things that are applicable in the industry (modeling, texture work, concept artist, etc). Honestly, Insomniac is the company I want to work for, and I'll continue to persue that goal.
On topic (isn't this backwards?) Thanks for the scoop! I'm sure everyone is just as excited as I am for these new maps and world wide play, now I'll finally get to school my friends in the UK.

Ahh, understood. Thanks. No, I have the PS3 opposite the X360, perhaps a little further away from me than the 360, but the 360's charger cable for the wireless controller is more than sufficient. I'm only bemoaning Sony's decision to package in a cable that would barely suit to hook up a camera to a PC only a foot or two away! ;p

Yeah! Hopefully the "tricky" bits don't turn into bugs-a-plenty - that would make everyone cry. The last patch introduced some new bugs, and they're getting on most people's nerves (re: players randomly kicked, game lock ups, sound glitches, glitchers still running rampant).
Even so, Resistance is still a ton 'o fun online. I just can't get enough.

Nah, more the element of worldwide play and all of the hurdles it entails from testing and working with the different territories etc.
I won't be able to join you guys tonight or Saturday night :-(
It's been a long time since I missed a clan night. Good luck!!!
Edit: Aeon will be free to be someone elses personal decoy for the rest of the week. Just watch out, sometimes he runs away from from the enemy. :lol

I'll be on in a few minutes. Though I still gotta do some spring cleaning. If I leave abruptly, it's because I gotta move some stuff.
I haven't used the Backlash yet...but it sounds awesome. My opinion is that the game as it stands plays great and with new modes like Assault, things (for me anyways) are still fresh.
On the other hand though, once the game hits a "platinum hits" discount price in a year or two, there could be a resurgence in players and a need to keep things fresh for veteran players...and at that point including the backlash would make more sense to me. My $0.02 Cdn...I'm fine with anything Insomniac does, truth be told.

The ranked competition has gotten extremely good. Good games tonight. I had to go, though. I've been playing for 2 hours plus and I gots a headache.
We need to work on our Assault strategy (though we were down a few men).
Auger, Laark, frags and wedge are key. No point in attacking the base if you're by yourself. Everything has to be done as a unit.

That Assault game was awesome I got 112 kills and 76 deaths but more importantly 112 KILLS. My stats were killer tonight without Sutdawg around causing me to get assists. And yea we need to work on Assault I kept calling for one more person outside to help weed the attackers out but no one came till Gatekeeper when we only had a little bit of health remaining. But it was still fun since I went 84-44 that round sooo many 3 and 5 kill ribbons.
