Let this post be a message to all new Gaf members that get Resistance and think they aren't good enough to join/play with the clan. No matter how bad you think you are I will make up for itjoesmokey said:

As a follow up - If you are a party leader (yeah I know it's usually been me but other people do host at times) you should do Team Death Match for the first hour. Nothing worse than having a party of 4 or 5 playing a long objective game while 5-10 people signed on and are just twiddling their thumbs in the lobby. Especially since the smaller parties often get CTF - which often go the distance and that's a full hour. Once 10 PM EST hits - feel free to start the objective games.

:lol :lol :lol
I am comtemplating a demotion (lost my Resistance mojo in the Asia KTV lounges
).Good games tonight. See you tomorrow night.
New people: You are always welcome. We don't have any requirements. We just meet on certain nights to play together and that's pretty much all we do. So read the clan post that's about a half-page long that gets posted every couple of pages by Kittonwy. See you online.

Nice playing w/ you tonight. (I'm HijoDelLocoRoco BTW)
Nice to see Southern Mexico representing.
I'm from the UK (about 40 minutes away from Manchester)
tbh I think it's great to see a game set in this country for once. The first few levels are pretty dull but once it gets to Manchester, and then to Nottingham, it gets so much more interesting. Because it's an alternative history it doesn't matter that the cities don't look like real life, but the attention to detail and fine art design makes it look it could be real.

I haven't noticed yet but I'm usually pretty ignorant of things like that the first time I play a game. Things like the maps and narrative (explaining where they go from place A to place B, how long it took etc) sound pretty accurate though. Most of the people I know think it's pretty funny to play through Grimsby though
It's just about the most uninteresting, mundane, place you could pick, especially compared to places like Manchester, London, York, etcdisc said:So you love the game for the perceived zero lag and you request worldwide gameplay
You might get a bit of lag in your games very very soon.
Keywords in my post: JP version
As in, I'm connecting to servers outside of my country, playing with JAPANESE players (I'm in the UK)...so....
what?
I can't wait for the patch. But whats this I hear about objectives? how does it work? I never thought Resistance had any kind of objectives in MP.
Anzu said:
You play on the servers that your machine corresponds to. Insomniac have not released the updated netcode for worldwide servers which would have a profound effect on how much latency, if any, you would have now IF you're playing on JPN servers from the UK. From my understanding, the WW servers will be located in the US.
Also, in ranked MP, there is a team objective selection which encompasses 4 modes which are: CTF, meltdown, breach, and assault.
Anzu said:
I figure you're playing in unranked because I don't get assault that often when playing team objective by myself. Play in ranked. Unranked is a putrid cesspool of one-hit-kill and infinite rocket launcher games. *BARF*
Of all the team game modes, assault requires the most team work and there is a pretty deliberate way to go about winning an assault match, which doesn't involve everybody running around doing their own thing.

Or you can use the preferred method of glitching to win assault. Seriously the last couple of meetups we've had four Assault games and on one they glitched into the wall at Nottingham. The second one they glitched off the map on somerset and a third one they glitched into the wall on Manchester. We only had one true Assault game I believe. Funny how we beat the glitchers though :lol.tanod said:
I had never played an objective based game mode till yesterday and i have to admit i was pretty much lost the whole time, in the game with the nodes i couldn't even find a way to get to most of them so i just stayed at my spawn point most of the time :lol

Yeah we were well aware of that, it's been a running joke all along and some of the mags had some witty comments to say about it too. Poor ol' Grimsby can never catch a break...
Actually one of our guys went on a trip to the UK specifically for the purpose and got tons of photo reference - the surprising thing about Grimsby was how strict security was there... they treated a bloke with an American accent taking photos for a video game as if he was some kind of potential terrorist or spy and literally told him to leave. Pretty sad the state it's got into over there....
Do you work for Insomniac then?
Thinking about it again, I think it was a good idea to pick lesser-known places like Grimsby, Nottingham, Somerset etc. When non-British people think of famous places it's usually London, Birmingham, Manchester etc and that's it. I like the idea of setting the game in these small little places. It makes it seem like Insomniac did some research and really looked for the best locations. The storytelling and narrative is one of my favourite parts of the game
lol I didn't expect that to happen. From what I've seen most towns and cities in this country are pretty welcoming to tourists
I'm back on Resistance tonight though and, for the first time in a few months, I'm REALLY excited about playing it tonight. A lot of single-player games now just don't keep me interested for very long (it's either boring, full of glitches, or far too predictable) but Resistane is the most polished game I've played in ages. Last thing I did was find the 'Angel' and I think the last level I completed was going through Somerset, opening up those gates

Yeah I got two network disconnects last night.Varshes said:
Sucks, although the first round I was beyond terrible and we were losing anyway so losing me probably helped the team , but the second one was pretty fun. I just quit after the second d/c, I was too annoyed to go again.Does anyone have a link to the ranks? I cant believe I'm still not an officer, it seems like it'll be forever before I get up to colonel or something, nevermind general. :lol I laughed when I was sergeant or something and assumed I was going to be a lieutenant next... little did I know.
I've been starting digging the website (rfomps3.com) a bit, now that I've finished the game (still have to beait it in superhuman mode tho)
Did you guys do, too ?
There's some interesting stuff, really. I like how they worked on the game's background a LOT.
The secret events are very interesting (not the locked ones you unlock with codes taken from some morse). I still can't get the third one >_<
All the background is still full of mysteries. I want more ANSWERS D:
There are a few disturbing things in the events' images too. I wonder if those are hints or answers, or if it's just random stuff to fool you and make you spent hours trying to decipher useless stuff :lol
big thumbs up for insomniac, this website is truly excellent (js if you read this, I love you and your team :lol )
Was wondering something. Does anyone here speak russian and knows what the letter from the august 1926 event means ?

Yeah we actually had 5 Brits working on it, which is probably why it feels reasonably authentic. Nice to see you appreciated that fact that we generally steered away from the obvious landmarks that you almost always see in Hollywood films set in the UK, such as the Houses of Parliament etc, etc... And yes it was a very deliberate decision to depict devastated cities in the North and Midlands, areas which usually get neglected in favour ot London. (I think that's also partly why the tone of the game has been compared with 28 Days Later...)

Our creative team came up with all the timeline backstory material, Sony put together the website which I agree is very cool. The SCEE website is also excellent...
We had one Russian team member but he's no longer with us so I'm afraid I can't ask him for a translation.

Wait, what ? There's an official SCEE / RFoM website ? WHERE D:

I jumped up the rankings really fast in the beginning before I was with the clan because all I played was Free for all Deathmatch. I found it easier because you shoot at anything that moves (so that split second spent on determining whether they are friend or foe is gone). I found it pretty easy to begin with, because I think it matched me with other newbs. I used to win a lot of rounds with great kill/death ratios. Then as my ranking went up, it got harder and harder, to the point where I would win by a hair. After joining GAF I never really played much of FFA DM...but it really boosted my rankings in such a short span of time.

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

Can anybody get online right now? I can't. This is the first time ever I haven't been able to connect. Everything else (PSN store, ect.) is working fine.
Looks like myresistance.net is down too.
