My controller is acting a bit weird (it would slightly ease me to the left for some reason), so I had to end it earlier than usual, I'm going to pick up a new one, I tried taking it apart and putting it back together but it didn't help much, I did manage to put it back together without breaking anything or losing any screws but I would recommend people NOT to even try it, it's very tricky.

I also tested out Nottingham Breach offline, there IS a way to auger the base node without actually going into the tunnel, yes I know that for a fact, I just haven't figured out how to line up my shots.

EDIT: I'm VERY CLOSE to figuring it all out... VERY CLOSE.

Yet so humble, hehe ... for the record: I was a little awesome too, uhm well, at least for one round :lol

Another 4 stealth kills, 40 to go :D
Yea I was too humble tonight, I mean come on I said I'm only worth 8 players when I'm playing bad :).
 
It is official.

I <3 the Arc Charger.

Now I just need 80-something more kills with it.

:D

That was a pretty awesome game of Assault to close out the night. Too bad the team wasn't the All-GAF All-Stars instead of just eight of us, because I think we'd have won much quicker and more decisively with the big group.

Still, a win is a win, and that was great.

It better count this shit - I had 20 kill streak on that last assault match.

Sorry buddy. It only counts in Deathmatch.

I had a 25 streak in Breach tonight and nothing to show for it. I also got another damn 19 kill spree in a TDM game on Lexington. So close.

I was hyped to play tonight but my mic not working sorta deflated my enthusiasm.

I gotta spend some time figuring it out...so far things haven't been "plug and play" for me...

Do they apply some of the updates yet ?

I mean, been playing a couple of ranked matches, never had chimera vs chimera ones. And in human vs human, all the people in your team have the same skin, and people in the other team have a different skin.

I completely give up with the headset shit.

I spent the whole night yesterday just trying to make the damn thing work, i have a motorola h350, and even after resynch it up, it would simply disconnect without any apparent reason, and if i hit the connect button on the audio settings it would freeze my ps3.

Does anyone know about a cheap and good USB headset? i quit from using BT.

I'm waiting for WarHawk to come out before I get a bluetooth headset. I figure it'll be cheap if the headset and the game together cost $40. Also, the headset should work great with the PS3 if it's included.

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!

Just get a used SOCOM headset from EB or whatever. I got tired of recharging my fancy Plantronics set so I got one that looked absolutely brand-new, with cord still tied up like it had never been touched, for a whopping $8. A little Lysol on those removable foam bits so you know you won't get some disease, and you'll be good to go.

I have the same headset, and yes my PS3 would freeze as well.

I bought it because according to the Res forums it was one of those that worked great and didn't require resyncing each time...but I've always had issues with it.

It hasn't worked since 1.8...

I've looked for a cheap USB headset...haven't found one yet.

I have this one. Got it off Amazon. No repairing needed. No freezing. It works well when the voice software in games is good. Resistance is fine. Calling all Cars is fine. Private chat in XMB is very clear. The battery life could be better. But for a $45 headset it gets the job done.

I spent $80 Cdn on mine...I could have put that towards a Limited Edition game!

I'm not gonna pay $0.01 more on a BT headset...I'd rather get something that's just plug and play.

I have the exact same problem with the exact headset (Motorola H350)....it works about 70percent of the time though =/

...I'm waiting for another FW update to see if sony can lockdown alotta of these headset problems...which i'm sure they're aware because the H350 in particular is mentioned on just about every damn forum...

....gonna have to send a GAF clan request to Kaching....finally broke in Resistance MP :D :D :D

Hopefully if (when) Sony puts out the new ShockAxis, it includes a USB port of some kind. I'd take a wired USB headset tethered to the controller over these iffy bluetooh headsets any day.

Two things:

1) It was my controller that was buggy, I got a new one.

2) I can now attack the base node in Nottingham breach without stepping foot inside the tunnel.

That's the "fancy Plantronics" headset I was talking bout in my post above! It works great!
...when I remember to charge it up. :(

Hmmm. We'll have to chat about this later, Kittonwy. "Loose lips sink ships," and all that.

Very interesting, if true. I haven't figured out how to make that work without the underground glitch (which is cheating, and cheating is for sucks) and I spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure it out once.

The problem is that i already payed $45 for the Motorola H350 when i got it because of the exact same benefits you just mentioned, but just after the 1.7 patch it started acting weird and after the 1.8 firmware update it just became a small useless brick next to my ps3. There is not a way to know if a future update wont end up screwing your headset model as well.

Seriously, Sony needs to get their act together with those issues. Now i will have to play resistance without headsets, which cuts the fun by about 75%.

I will join you guys in 10 minutes.

BTW, is there a way to still hear you all on my tv speakers?

Please don't do that. :)

It causes feedback issues for mic users.

It only causes feedback when someone is also using a headset to talk. There is no harm in just hearing the conversation.

Yeah damn... me too ! I've been sleeping only 4 hours everyday since last week. It will continue for the next few weeks or even months.

I R-E-A-L-L-Y miss Resistance now (Am away from home too :( ). My PS3 is in RemotePlay mode.
 
Ok it seems as if the patch for worldwide online play is out, but it looks like I have to DL it from the Japanese PS Store. Is there any way around making a Japanese PSN account to get this?
