TTP said:It's TWO weeks for us European. If we are lucky...
And obviously nobody really bothers with an official date for Europe. We have to wait "just a bit longer".
No, Europe is lined up with the rest of the territories now. While I can't 100% confirm anything because it's Sony, I can say that I fully expect Europe to launch the maps (and the global server of course) at the same time as US, Japan, and Asia. And that time being next week June 7th.

Can't wait for the new content! I'll see you guys on Resistance later, if I can pry myself away from Warhawk.

That's how Toyota works too...and guess what? Their clandestine ways have catapulted them to the number one position they're in right now. (ie it works)
Remember the introduction of the Prius in 2000? Nobody in the automotive industry was aware of its planning before the final stages of development. It blew away all the Detroit manufacturers by surprise. GM and Ford are 7 years late to the hybrid game.
For all we know, Toyota is planning the mass-production of vehicles powered by PEM fuel cells.
I don't mind the secretive attributes of Sony. I just want the assurance that they are doing wonderful things.

What if it the descicion to hold off didn't come down until yesterday, and until that point, we were still optimistic about being on time?
It wouldn't make sense for us to hold back news of a delay like that.
I don't think they need to be 100% quiet. But announcing any form of release date seems to cause more harm then good, at least here. If something is a week late, it causes a unecessary uproar. The funny thing, is that on the flip side people are demanding release dates, although at this point they would be inaccurate.womfalcs3 said:
It really is a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation. They give a release date early, people complain about delays. They don't give release dates, people complain they are too secretive.

Yeah, JS...I'm upset with Sony management, not you guys. You guys make great games, and you guys actually delivered a great product like Resistance on time, at launch, like you said you would.
Sony, on the other hand, is late with almost everything this gen. They have rolled back timetables on everything, time and time again. It is maddening to be a Playstation 3 owner trying to plan what we are going to spend our hard-earned cash on, and when.
And I'm with TTP thinking, "what a heck of a coincidence," when they go and spring the news of this delay on us fans at the eleventh hour, so to speak. It sucks.
...but don't worry about Aeon, JS. We'll handle him. If he doesn't buy the new maps when they come out so he can play with the rest of the clan, I'm going to PM him pictures of each and every one of Emmitt Smith's 2384 rushing yards against the Eagles.
If that doesn't break him, there's the video of Jerry Jones dancing, which Jack Bauer won't even use against captured terrorists...

speaking of Insomniac I saw Ratchet and Clank on Electric Playground today. Vic was interviewing the producer of R&C PS3. Anyway they showed the on rail boss fight from the original trailer and then on rail boss fight from Sony Gamers day. For some reason the on rail stuff from gamers day was really slow paced compared to the trailer.
Did you guys tone the speed down since releasing trailer? The game feels so slow now :/

Pffft you guys had a record of 12-14 against us the years Emmitt was yall running back
.I played so angry last night, it really effected my game but tonight I'll be happy giggling Aeon that only gets ticked off when he gets one hit killed by the shotgun. Hope the delayed update fixes that balence issue and how fast it spawns. No wonder it's so easy for whole teams to get one.

:lol Yeah dude....you were either silent or cursing about something. Not the Aeon I normally play with.
Last night at the Hangar I went 32-7 the first round and 29-7 the seconds round for a monster total of 61-14. Good times.

Pretty much. If it weren't for Resistance I would have returned my PS3 a long time ago.
The fact that I can pop it on tonight and it's still fun (and the fact that there are no lag issues, and also the fun team objective gametypes)...the fact that I'm not sick of it yet, despite playing it for months on end...says a lot about the game.
Insomniac is not to blame...if anything it's Sony. I mean, I don't mind the delay of the update...but then again as a multiconsole owner I have 3 other games I'm really really into at the moment. I'm sure some PS3-only owners don't have much to play and were really looking forward to this update as a result...but that's not Insomniac's fault.
Anyways...I'm down for some Resistance tonight.
She says we gotta hold on, to the Nodes we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we lose Delta or not
We've captured Papa, and that's enough to stay above...
We'll give it a shot!

That's not fair. On top of having a bad night (stats-wise), I was also demoing the MP to my friend, and drinking. Plus, I wasn't that bad.
:'( *runs away*
TBH, I actually did have a bad game (full two rounds) on Tuesday where I want 4 and 20-something, trying to get my last 4 auger kills for my medal. Needless to say, in that round, I was only able to get one. I still have one kill or so left.

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

You guys are crying about a 1 week delay??? Delays and video games go like teeth and toungue. When you get teeth, it might sting a little but the overall experience is still good.
