Resistance: Fall of Man - The Official Thread

This sucks. I can't seem to be able to even get to the menu for online multiplayer. It either fails to connect after choosing online multiplayer, or right after it connects.

It's the same for me, I've tried yesterday for almost an hour and got nowhere fast.

I may have to turn this into it's own topic - the time is nigh to do a little purging of clan members or stop accepting clan invites altogether. The list of members with active invites stands at 180 (wait, 181 - Raist just accepted) for the NA clan and I've got a surge of EU and AP RFOM players PMing me for clan invites. 200 is the limit AFAIK (right, js?) and it seems like we may hit that pretty quickly at this point.

A couple of things I'm going to do to start - a few people have invites that are more than a week old (several weeks at this point) so I'm no longer going to hold spots for them in the clan. That'll be the rule going forward - if you don't accept an invite within a week, it'll be revoked. Next, I'll look for volunteers who are willing to resign. There's already been a couple who said they'd resign because they realize they don't play much but I've held off on removing them since there was still space.

After that, it may come down to removing people based on lowest rank/fewest ranked rounds played, to make room for the newer players. Prepare yourselves.

That whole game was weird, when the round started Maggot was like wtf youre all floating in the air :lol. Later he realized nobody on our team or their team could see him but he could still kill them. This was also the game with the invincible Breach Nodes so we tried to use him as a secret weapon to destroy their node before it got its health back but Base defense still could see him. When rd2 started he was like 20-30 ft in the air slowly moving off the map :lol.

Ha ha ! Too bad I missed it. :(
I also got disconnected in my third game yesterday (Then I had to go move stuff).
I'm really eager to try the new maps though.

That cat looks like it's constipated...

I know a guy whose face is exactly like that. No, no... not constipated, but naturally like that. And his friend looks like Odie (without the dog ears). So we nicknamed the pair "Garfield and Odie". It's really funny to see them talk. It's like watching a life action comic strip.

Ok I'm getting off topic again, since we have Machi-whatchamacallit in Resistance, at some point in the future we can do another photo op... of the Resistance Choir (Now everyone say "O")

It happened to me yesterday when the patch was just done. It was ok at about 7:00pm PST when I played.

Thats more than dumb its pure BS, the only reason i got the new maps was to play ranked games with my friends in party mode. Now i cant do that until they do something about it and if the wait to get this patch is anything to go by then i think i will be moving on to another title.

Splitting the "map pack 1" option into "map pack 1 singles" and "map pack 1 teams" would be really fricken awesome.

False alarm, GAF. I just ran through the clan roster itself in RFOM and there's only about 120 people on the list, so it looks like many people have already resigned on their own over time. I don't get any system messages for these (at least, not consistently). I'll try to clean up the clan roster so it matches what's in RFOM.

Also, is the EuroGAF clan going to still be alive? I admit that I haven't played much after the initial period, altho that has to do mostly with the inability to choose the type of play for ranked games (I want to be able to choose what type of team game to play!) and those retarded 3vs3 on 8/12 players maps or 4vs4 on 12/16 players maps really killed my mood, but I'm not in a hurry to leave it since I plan to play some resistance now that it is WW (if I can get it to let me online, anyways) despite those flaws.

Also, I think it's important that we accept the invites of all those coming from EuroGAF and anyone from Asia as well. I also think it's important that we don't stop allowing those who want to play and want to play with the clan from doing so. We aren't an exclusive group (with the exception that clan member are also from GAF) and we just get together to play for fun (even if we own :)). As such, I agree, it's time to start clan purging. Is there a way to tell when people have last logged in? If not, we may have to do it by lowest rank (unless we know they play with us or have just joined and plan to play with us).

I think we should start with you and JS, you guys haven't played in a while (Just kidding guys).

*Edit: NVM. False alarm I geuss.

In game it removes people who haven't played for a while but they still hold Clan spots. Anyone thats not on the ingame list should prob be the first one's to be removed.

They don't seem to be on the official clan list either, I think they actually resigned. Because if they're not on the main clan list, there's no way for me to revoke their invite.

Good thing kaching is looking at rank and not K/D ratio.

Well, you already know you can kick me off. Not sure if you've already done that or not, but if you haven't... now is the time.

I keep having networking errors and I can't stay logged in long to stick with a party or play online for any decent length of time. So while I'd like to play(thanks to those of you who sent me party invites), I keep getting booted from the network. :-\ So sometime in the next couple days , if someone could help me out, that'd be helpful. Using a PS3 connected via an Ethernet cable to a linksys router. Are there any specific ports that should be left open?

Set your IP as the DMZ, that's the safest bet.

There also are some problems with a few linksys models since the 1.80 update. Turning off the media server option helps afaik

1.8x seems to have changed the behavior. You now need to go into the audio device settings and ensure your Input Device is set to "Do Not Use" and your Output Device is "System Default Device". Apologies for the inconvenience.
Meant to say earlier, but I still have the problem. :(
 
we spent an hour trying to get a game going and total failure is the result : (
im going to get somthing the to eat and clean up in here. I try again later.

Well that was frustrating. The two times we actually made it to the staging area the games were cancelled because of imbalance :/ I hope a patch for the patch is being hammered out

That's part of the patch's features.

It cancels the match if the match can't be balanced in the staging area. It's fair for the team lacking players.

Yeah I read the patch notes. I meant that we had trouble even GETTING to the staging area only to have the matches dropped for imbalance. Wasn't making a judgement call on the feature itself
 
This game is now officially broken. In about 90 minutes, we managed to get into like 3 games, most of the time we had to settle for unranked. The rest of the time was spent getting kicked and having to reform the party.

Whenever we did finally get a ranked game, we could only get TDM, and we never got one on the new maps. In fact, I've never played a ranked match on any of the new maps, ever.

When in-game, the aiming seems to have changed to double the sensitivity as before, and in Human v. Chimera TDM, the Chimera seem to have sped up considerably, spoiling the balance completely.

Oh, and there's lag now. In Resistance. Lag. WTF?

Fix it, Insomniac.

Uh oh... I played 3 old-map TDMs on Friday night and they were ok (I got 12 vs 0 and 24 vs 3 in The Mall :D ...thanks to Asia and Europe, I think). Looks like Insomniac and Sony need to work together to fix the new patch. Good thing I still have 3 more discs to go in Planet Earth.

You need to select "Map Pack Mayhem" after selecting to play in ranked games. This option will put you into a ranked game with a new map, garunteed. All other ranked gameplay options will have you play on one of the older maps. The "Map Pack Mayhem" option for ranked games isn't given to parties. If you want to play on the new maps as a party, it has to be done in a custom game.

The "Map Pack Mayhem" option really should be split into two options; one that is team based and one that is FFA based. Provided that there are enough players with the new maps to split this into two options.
There really should be an option for parties to play in ranked play on the new maps.
(needed to make that plug one more time).

Game is screwed. Patch broke it total. I was so pumped to play tonight, but error after error killed the fun.

The new maps rock - unbelievable, the both of them. Simply, awesome.

Now, if we could only play the damn game, as a party.

Insomniac: your game is busted. Very badly busted.

I'm wondering if the new match-making update is what was keeping y'alls party out of ranked matches. Particularly if the game cancellation is based (or partially based) on the ranks (or average rank) of players on a team. When we play together as a party, we ussually end up as a team of all Supreme Commanders (or close to it). It's very rare to find another team of 15-20 players who are all Supreme Commanders, unless we end up playing another clan or party.

Yeah they need to fix that, if this was a map pack on live you bought and you couldnt use it in ranked games with friends and you werent told that before hand there would be uproar and rightly so. I feel like i have been robbed of my money as ranked party play is the only mode i play yet i cant use the maps i paid for in that mode.:(
