It is challenging at first, but once you understand the shooting methods of the chimera, you'll know exactly when to straf and fire. the thing that sucks about hard and superhuman is that they change it up completely, and add twice as many enemies, and everything does x2 damage. :X
Well, I'm just not as good at FPS as I used to be, as can be seen from my stats. I'm below 1.0 on my k/d ratio as of last night!
I found it hard to contain 3 or 4 chimeras in an open room. Yah, I'm that bad.
Oh well, I take pride that I finished MGS 2 and 3 on hard mode. Will soon do it for MGS4.

Will soon do it for MGS4.I ran through all the difficulty modes / got all the skill points in the first week PS3 was out (Hey, it was launch week, there was nothing else to play...kind of like now). It was ridiculous how fast you remember the layouts and spawns in the maps when you play the game so many times back to back - I would seriously sprint through the whole thing. :lol

And if you clear a room out from a far more enemies spawn in there. I noticed this when I was stuck on the part at the Conversion center where you have the high ground and there is about 3 bomb things that you can shoot before jumping down taking out the Chimera. Once you jump down 2 more hybrids spawn and a bunch of menials. Didn't happen when I just jumped down.TONX said:

My first playthrough was on easy. Playing it on superhuman is my 4th playthrough of the game. The level design seems much better and more deliberate as you move up in difficulty. Like I'm using things for cover and approaching combat scenarios from completely different angles because I HAVE to, and I'm seeing things I never noticed before. It's a lot of fun.
Also, it's neat to see where they pull some of the multiplayer levels from. I never noticed them before, since they are SO different.

Well, i plan to eventually play it through 1 above "normal" just to practice my aim and stuff.
I still have problems aiming online as I'm hitting peoples chest most of the times and it takes forever to take them down. I also feel that auto aim doesn't work for me as I'm off the mark most of the time.
Well the Rage tip worked to improve my Chimera play. Sadly, my Human skills have taken a turn for the worse. I've gotten Corporal rank but that seems to have been largely counter-productive as my K/D ratio has...taken a turn for the worse. Granted I haven't played an online FPS since UT (note to Insomniac: please patch in a razor gun complete with "Decapitation" sound bite) but it's a little dispiriting to be getting worse seemingly as I play more. Ah well, it's still a lot of fun even if I do spend most of my time now respawning :lol

Greg, Jer. I'm off work for the nxxt few days. send me a psn pm and ill jump on.
About superhuman. I thought i had read that it didn't actually have MORE enemies in it; what tI thought was they increased the damage they took and gave out, but more importantly they changed HOW they spawn in and where. So after you play thru hard mode, you wont be able to use what you memorized for superhuman, and that just by changing where they spawn in they made it way harder.

It could have been worse, you could have logged on and Aeon712 was in the lobby!:lol
Edit:
Speaking of Aeon, where have you gone the past few nights? I hope you shipped yourself off to some RFOM training facility! The tournament is only weeks away and we need you there to practice.
Correction: we need YOU to practice.

lol geez your guys are relentless. Don't go messing with the team chemistry too much there Kobe.sutdawg said:
So have you guys practiced as a team yet? done any 3v3, and come up with any strats for specific maps?
BobTheFork said:
We tried practicing that one night, you remember? Efertlis stood in the middle shooting in circles. Other then that one match no( PhillyGAF is slacking on practice and strats).
Don't tell Aeon but I'm just messing with him, so he'll get angry and hopefully take it out on our opponents.

Yeah but i though Efertlis only did that because we sucked too bad to be opponents. i mean, you guys still won with just you and aeon, and we only got points because efertlis didn't fight back.sutdawg said:
Seriously, they seed next wednesday; not saying you must plan or fail, just saying that you WILL be coming up against some good teams from the big clans, and they will have a plan. Thats why i've tried so hard to practice being a sniper and 40mm whore. the only guys i can really beat on in practice games were the ones that fought like i do, run and gun. I realized that luck of the seed or not - I am, without question, going to have to fight someone who is better than i am. If i'm going to beat guys that ARE better than me, i have to come up with ideas and new ways of playing. Be ready
Aeon712 said:See what had happened was....and then....followed up with....and then kaboomI'll be there at 9pm when you get back on
Bob didn't wanna help me train, he's all about himself
It'll probably be closer to 9:30pm but I'm sure Efertlis will be on around 9:00pm.
That is very selfish of you Bob! :lol

Aeon may not be in shape to play tonight. Chris Benoit died : (
HEY i just read that lol. I asked and you said you were playing team objective with acidice, so i asked JFK to help. By the Way, He is the ****ing minnisota Fats of grenades. He killed me sooo many times with them. One of them, he threw up a staircase, off the wall, off the CEILING and dead center in the face

I've played a few rounds of Resistance online in deathmatch and team deathmatch. I quit out of the first two games I jumped into because I just kept spawning and almost automatically dying, I stuck around for a while on the third which I think was the Manchester level.
Maybe I've just played games like Day of Defeat and Counter-Strike too much, but I found just randomly spawning all over the map kind of disorienting. Especially since there's no mini-map, I had to stop and pull up a map which covered the entire center of my screen. Constantly playing in one-hit-kill games didn't help with the learning curve. I walked away with the impression that the map I played was like the Battlefield 1942's, only without any vehicles to get around in.
I got a few kills, mainly sniping, earned some medals and logged off. It was okay I suppose, but nothing mind blowing. Given that it's free to play I'll likely give it a few more shots but it doesn't look like it'll be the game to replace my current online addiction, CS, or sell me on online console gaming.
Maybe I just need to try an objective-centric mode in the game.

Play ranked games. That'll solve most of the problems you are describing. I only play custom matches with friends.
EDIT: Beaten.
Anyway, you'll get familiar with the layout of each map pretty quickly, and once you do, you'll figure out that they are all pretty well landmarked out in such a way that you can usually ID where you are the second you blink in. So the random spawning thing you are frustrated with now won't be a problem once you get a bit more experience with the maps.
Regardless, Ranked Play is the way to go, even when you are just learning.
If you want to get familiar with all the maps without jumping into a ranked game, you can set up your own private custom match on any map you like, just for you to explore around in and figure out the lay of the land as well as which weapons spawn where. I did this when I was trying to figure out how certain weapons worked for attacking nodes, and discovered some cool stuff.
....
Wasn't on Mon. night because of the Benoit stuff and picking the GF up from the airport. Will see you guys in the Clan tonight.
OK, so I found out why I kept sucking during the GAF clan meet ups. I think it's your bloody ranks!
I played a few FFA and TD games the other night on my own and was consistently in the top 3, even had #1 in a team death match. I was like, WTF? Then I thought to myself, most of gaf are 5 star generals with 3 pips. So if Resistance matches with other people, it should usually be with people of simialr rank. Me? I'm a 2 bar guy. Bottom of the barrel. So it matches me with other beginners when I'm not with gaf...
In summary, I'm forced to play with the elite cause of your ranks. I guess I'll just practice with the noobs to hone in on my mad skillz in the off times.

Stop playing unranked games with random people would be my advice because you're not really getting the community experience, there's no point in that when we have a clan here, the whole point in having a clan is so that you don't have to go into random unranked games alone and get disinterested because you don't know anyone and after a few games you log off. I pretty much play ranked games in a clan party exclusively, it's a completely different experience because you know the people you're going into the game with.

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
Damnit, I was just on - now I'm off to play tennis for a few hours.TONX said:
Hopefully I'll be on later tonight. If I am on, it will be really late whenever the group dies down because to be honest, I hate team objective games. It isn't because of the clan, but I never have fun with most of the objective maps.
