That's weird it takes a hit. I figured you get more since the action isn't as frantic.
After being positive the whole night that last round was killer on my k/d since it required me many times to just run into Papa with like 8-10 enemy's and bypass them to shoot the node once or twice with the shotgun/arc charger. End result was me going 30/40 :(.

angel, what I did to get my H350 headset going was, well, I'll explain the whole situation because I don't know what step caused it to work.

I had my H350 plugged to the wall charged overnight. I had my PS3 on folding for a while. I had to plug in my wired connection and set my IP and all that jazz. Linked the headset successfully to the PS3. Tried to test it in audio settings, it wasn't working. Then tried to re-couple it with the PS3, and it wouldn't work. Tried turning the headset on and off and tried scanning again, and again, still wouldn't work. So I turn off the headset, and turn off the PS3. I plug in the HS to the wall again. I unplug it. I turn on the PS3, I am able to recouple it, and I go into audio settings to test it and it works. And then it worked in-game.

I have a feeling that if I have my PS3 off, I make sure the headest is off, and plug it to the wall to "reset" it, and then turn on the PS3, scan for the headset, find it and test it, it should work.

It's a lengthy workaround but it will work until I find a Socom USB headset.
Its a really weird solution, but i will still try it when i go back home.

Got a question for the Insomniac crew...

Does the new patch change anything in regards to determining what objective mode is chosen when one chooses to play "Team Objective"?

Lately I've been joining the party rather late, and by that time there are 10-13 players in the party. I haven't played Breach or Assault in a while, I wonder if that's going to be changed.

I believe JS said that there was a fix coming that would lower the player minimums for assault and breach, partially due to the spreadsheet we sent him. I don't know if that's going live with the patch or if it's a server side thing and already done but anyways, we're still WAITING for confirmation.

Ugh yeah... that one killed my k/d when I want it to be up. So when I find that something like Papa is a lost cause - DON'T GO there over and over again! :lol

Sometimes you just have to throw bodies at a node to keep it in play instead of letting the opposition have it, personally I prefer to sacrifice k/d for the team win, papa is a major connection node, in a way when you have people spawning from papa, your home node and side node like November is better shielded because you're taking most of the pressure at Papa (and exerting pressure from papa), probably why the other team put so many people on it.

I wonder if the home/oscar/november strategy would hold though since the three are pretty far from each other and it's hard to move people from one to another other than spawning after dying, if there's a way to win easily without grabbing papa, I would be interested, oscar is kind of far so getting to it at the beginning of the round might be difficult. I'm not opposed to strategies that don't involved destroying one's k/d but it's a matter of logistics, kind of like the kilo/lima situation in manchester.

I really hope so!

I remember saying that once Warhawk comes out, I'd probably be all over that as I'm getting sick of the modes we always get...and the funny thing is that there are some who have the Warhawk beta and haven't been back playing Resistance in a while now.

So I really hope it's addressed sooner than later.

I'm gonna try to make it to the parties a bit earlier as well, so that our numbers can be larger. I usually join at 9pm MST, I'll try to be on after supper (7pm MST).

Meltdown is fun, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice for it to be mixed up a bit. Variety is good.

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

I need help GAF. I need a good router for my Resistance online gaming needs!

I have a LinkSys WRT54G and it constantly boots me off from the network. I always get connection errors via wireless from my PS3. It also happens to my PC so it is definitely not my PS3's wireless NIC.

What I'm looking for is a router that has some kind of range boost/extension so that I can get a decent connection without worrying about getting booted off the network. I normally get 50-55% signal and my wireless router is about 20 feet away.

I think I have this router. Are the problems you have been experiencing new? A lot of people, myself included, had problems with the 1.8 update. If that is the case you can try setting up a static ip for the ps3 and open up dmz for that ip address.

They've been consistent on a daily basis, even before the 1.80/1.81 updates.

I will try doing that. If this does not solve the problem, do you know of any routers that extend further in terms of signal range?

Sorry I don't know. I think most routers now offer a range boost. You should check your PS3's NAT type. Go into network settings on the PS3 and look for it. You want NAT Type 2. Opening the DMZ should change it to NAT 2.

It has always been on NAT Type 2.

The new maps are out
rageously late and it's really frustrating. If they're not this week, I'll probably be playing NG: Sigma and a couple RPGs I want to play through again this summer instead of getting them.

Most of you are lucky you've been able to play WarHawk all this time.

JS, what's up?

It's sooooo cute :)

And yea I hope Sony doesn't plan on Cockblocking Sigma by releasing the maps the same way they blocked Virtua Fighter by releasing Tekken the same week.

And meh to warhawk, it's not all it's cracked up to be. I think we've only lost Click to it. And he's said once the maps come out he'll be right back with us but the beta will prob be over by time we get them.
 
Fun, fun, fun playing w/ Sut, Eferliss, and Mr. Fork last night. (Yeah, me in that group is pretty funny...) Got a lot of Dragon kills. Getting so close to the "Up Your Arsenal" medal...wont be long now.

Surprised to see Aeon was AWOL from training though... :(

I was there for 4 training games, First was me and Bob beating up on each other, then me and Acid, then Bob and Acid. Followed by Efertlis shooting the tag at a wall the whole match while me and Sutdawg took on Bob, Acid and V1c :lol.

Damnit, I can't get into the game anymore. Played last night for a total of 3 rounds before I quit in the middle of the 4th because I wasn't having fun at all.

Not even sure if I'll get the new maps now - the game just never felt the same to me after the first patch, and I think I do more complaining/catching up than I do having fun. :lol

I tried getting the smack talk going with you...but after two rounds I realized I had my mute on and you had already left. Damn you.

You dont need a new router, you need to tamper with your settings. I have the same router (Wireless Linksys G with Speedbooster), and i USED to get occasional problems with disconnecting, now theyre all gone. Signal strength really does not matter, it seems. My PS3 is 2 floors above my router, and I get anywhere from 20-45%. It seems like the only thing that matters is if you get a signal at all. Even at 15%, I could play Motorstorm and Resistance with no lag.

Why don't you play with us tonight? Honestly I think Resistance is simply geared more towards clan play.

I noticed that if I left the game for an extended period, it will take me about a week to adjust to the pace (playing every day !). Perhaps the player matching system is also trying to fine-tune the criteria ?

In order for me to catch the games in a timely fashion, when do most of you plan to hop on? In 2 hours? In 3? If you state it that way I don't have to do any time conversion. :)

This has started to happen to me as well. Ever since 5 months ago. I've had this router for a few years too. Right now I just wire my PS3 (have a wire going through floors). Except that I usually do it for my 360 so I have to take it out and pop it in the PS3, I need to set up a switch downstairs. I got way too many tings to do...and yet I'd rather play games than to do them. :p

Man, going from HD to SD sucks. Its messing up my game soo bad! Those tournament practice matches we had today were horrible. I'm buying a new tv ASAP.

We seriously need to find a way to combat the FTW clan if we have any chance of winning the tournament. RougE devoured me whole today.

Seriously, I really don't think that was him that first round where we owned him cause that second round he was completely different and ran right through me, you, acid and djkimothy.

Gonna enjoy owning him in New York.

Just picked up a ps3 and resistance. :D Anyone have any recommendations for cheap bluetooth headset for when I get a chance to go online?

I signed up for PSN, just stuck with my GAF name for my PSN login - Geoff990 Not original, but it works. Is there any to change if I get sick of it?

edit: can't even spell my own GAF name correctly. :p It's Geoff9920 obviously.

Not that I know of, though obviously you could just make a new one, with your stats reset of course.
