So I've read the last three pages, but didnt see it mentioned.


My stats aren't being updated anymore for the last 2 days, none of my friends stats too :(

Are the updating servers down in Euroland or something?

Yeah, stats are backlogged in Europe for some reason. I know SCEE is working on it.

Be afraid, last time we had a stats backlog we lost a weekend of stats :(. I still remember how awesome I was that weekend playing some games with M3.

Cool, just know that if I'm folding I'm prob not really home so I'm not ignoring you :lol. Now if we can somehow get Beren(my herse your arms or however you say/type his name) to play again the three of us can wreck whole teams again. Long as it isn't somerset, awful awful somerset.

Which gives us time to play some games from 8-10 unless my power goes out from this storm then I'll really be upset. Darn it Sutdawg and efertlis get in this thread to confirm that you two will play tonight.

My new monitor didn't come in yet, and I don't have a TV to play on until midnight...which is when the internet dies. This whole day is ridiculous. :lol

Stupid storm in Philly knocked out my Direct Tv so I may be missing Lost tonight :(. Will anyone be playing tonight before Lost starts(10pm est)?

Are you sure? My DirctTV is working fine, when it does go out I still get the local channels.
Yes I will be playing before and after Lost, just like last week.

We had a CTF game that weekend. I had a 45/20 K/D in that game, and almost 100% of kills were on defense. It sucked hard losing those stats.

Keeping with my ever improving K/D ratio, it's moved up again: .952. Yeah!

I can't believe how much better I'm playing now with my sensitivity lowered to 4. 5 was way too high for me.

Aeon, I'll catch you sooner or later, just you watch. Then, I'll do some MC Hammer dance moves, call you arsehole several hundred times, and finish up with a few xcrap3farty jokes for good measure.

I should mention: I won my first Lexington FFA game on Tuesday, just before playing with the clan. I went 24/10 - sweeeeeeet.

Fear the m3freak.

Hey guys, wanted to let you know I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow afternoon and will be out of the country and *gasp* not checking GAF regularly. If you need me for something, drop me a PM and I'll respond to it when I get home and recover.

Oh and listen to the Full Moon Show tomorrow. It's a great episode.

BTW - I was informed by MP today that the Breach/Assault player minimums were lowered and that their frequency in ranked games are going to be increased. Just has to go through QA.

Thanks for that spreadsheet :)

Anal rententive gaming FTW!!! That spreadsheet was a gret idea. It acctually caused change.

Just to be clear - I guess the change isn't on the live server just yet. Sorry, mis-communication between me and MP, and I thought it was live.

We forgive you! The good news is that at least you guys are going to be fixing this. The best thing about Insomniac is that you guys listen to suggestions from the gamers and look to improve the product.

We need to send JStevenson some pink tacos! :D
 
I'm relatively new to this game and just started playing it. One of the things that I hate is trying to do precision aiming with the analog stick. Maybe it's something you get better at with time, but it feels like it's all over the place sometimes. Which brings me to my question - do you think the aiming mechanism would have been better if they used the sixaxis motion sensors to control the position of the crosshair. It just occurs to me that you could be extremely precise and accurate by using the Sixaxis motion as opposed to the analog stick.

As it is, the use of the Sixaxis in Resistance isn't all it could be. Adding this new aiming scheme would be great, though.

Change your sensitivity if you think it's currently too fast. Sixaxis aiming would tick me off.

I'm actually thinking about turning my sensitivity down a bit. I won't be on tonight but tomorrow, I'll try going to a 5 from a 6.

M3 said he was doing a little better turning his down so maybe I'll try the same and see what happens. Plus, sniping is a little too twitchy as it's set up for me right now. Here's hoping the "MELTDOWN IS TEH SUXXORS111" patch goes up before this weekend.

j/k - meltdown is fun, just kind of burnt out on it recently

Wollan said:
9$ is too much for two maps.

What about making them free later (like in two months) so the whole community doesn't get fragmented to hell? We'd probably lose half the clan on clan nights if it was close to $10.

Price is right at $5-$6 for 2 maps, then it's an absolute must buy. Glad it's definitely not more than $10.

They're setting a PSN precedent with this DLC. Don't screw it up.

OT: Same goes for Motor Storm. That DLC should definitely not be over $5 for one track.

Bu Bu But it's 2 fully scaled maps so we'll have 8,16,24,32, and 40 player versions of the maps so it's like we're getting 10maps. Those Playstation cards need to hurry up some Gaffers can't buy things from the store like I remember Angel saying he couldn't...I think it was him.

Wait are there 24player maps?

TTP said:
They already did with the Blast Factor one. 5 bucks for an offline multiplayer mode.

I meant tracks and maps.

I thought BF DLC was $3. They should just roll the add-on pack to the main file and make it $8 and make it free for those who already have the main game.

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.

Message from IG:

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
