Whatever the number is times it by .70 to get the number of shotty whoresWollan said:
).Take it from somebody who spent over 600 to play Resistance(That and I needed a pick me up after the Eagles lost to the Saints) that it's worth it. Single player is great, Co-op is easier but even more fun. Online with the clan is beyond awesome. Been playing it like 3-5x a week since January and I'm still not tired of it minus the shotty whores.Maverick said:

LAWLZ.
With the Auger, I find it hard to take people out. Is it cause the gun isn't worth using unless shooting it through walls or should I just start aiming better? it just seems that every time I get into a close conflict with someone and I have an Auger, I get pwned. Every once in a while I take them out buuuut thats few and far in between.

IF X = Number of "shotty whores" on Resistance
IF Y = Number of times Aeon has complained about "shotty whores" in Resistance
IF Z = Number of beers Kittonwy has consumed while playing Resistance
THAN (3X = Y) < Z
Math is fun.

Auger is pretty strong... and it gets stronger every time it goes through a wall... The problem that I've found with it and why its not that great for close combat.. is because the actual projectiles from the gun are alot slower than other guns... so you need to lead your target a lot more if you want to hit them... and worst of alll the fire rate is abysmal... These problems lead the Auger to be more of a defensive gun... One you use while you are running away... Then a gun that you are using to try to run someone down...

Augers are weak when unobstructed. They pick up strength as they pass through objects.
So, if you just shoot somebody straight away with the Auger, you are going to need a lot of shots/headshots to bring 'em down. If you throw four or five layers of Auger shield out there first though, and shoot through those, they will be toast with one hit. Even just one shield or wall makes a huge difference. Of course, an Auger burst takes a bit of time to pass through all those layers, so there is a trade-off.
(You can also use your teammates in front of you to shoot through and increase the strength of your Auger! Pretty funny tactic to employ when you want to really take out a node with it, and you've run out of shields.)
Listen to Kittonwy RE: the Auger. The man may be drunk, and a hoser, but he knows what he's talking about. :lol

You know what I love the auger for? In 32p Manchester, I get one and go up to one of those round-about towers, and just shoot through the walls pointing towards the other tower. It goes through them all and blows up all the explosive barrels in its sight.
Ah the multiple kills/auger master good times.
I find that a steady stream of Auger through the wall kills "instantly". But if I spread my rounds, I often get pwned due to the slow rate of fire.
I am an Auger whore in the small Manchester map (The one with a courtyard and 2 LAARK spawn points). I like to hide in the Auger room or the adjacent one and fire upon incoming enemies coming through the doors. The spike grenade near the door helps to weaken/kill them too.
I am a shotty whore in the Mall (when sweeping the rooms). An Auger works well too if you have a partner. Sometimes I switch to Far Eye. The Mall is my favorite level.

Ah, I thought SOCOM was delayed until 2008? Don't know much about Warhawk (never played the PS1 original).
Anyway, sounds good to me, fellas. Worst case scenario I've got a Blu-ray player and good online game for the next few months.
One more thing (and sorry to derail the topic) - how is the net code? One of the reasons that I don't play Gears anymore is because of the lag. My gameroom needs to be on a wireless network, and I've heard some negative things about PS3's wireless speeds - is this going to be an issue?
Thanks for the help!

Don't know about SOCOM. Sorry.
Warhawk is pretty awesome. I only got to play the beta for five days though before it ran out... Even if you had played the PSOne original, this one is so different that it could have been named something entirely different.

It is as close to a no-lag experience you are going to find anywhere. Even with 40-player games. Pretty amazing really.
There was a time right when the global servers went online where things were pretty buggered up for two weeks or so, but now, it's smooth as it ever was. Which of course means consistently smoother than any console FPS I've ever played, and right up there with the top PC experiences too.
If your router is good wireless shouldn't be a problem. I had mine in an upstairs-downstairs situation running off a standard Apple Airport Extreme base station ( a router which, in reality, isn't really that "Extreme" as far as range goes) for a few months, and it worked great.
It doesn't have a lot in common with the original anyway, except for the fact that they nailed flight dynamics of an agile VTOL aircraft just like they did in the original. It's more akin to a Battlefield style MP game at this point, with a more arcade feel.Maverick said:

I've been wireless since the release and I haven't had many problems. The only problem I encounter is when there's a bad thunderstom in the area, I'll get knocked off line. Still haven't be able to figure out if it's the PS3 wifi or just crappy Verizon DSL. There were definately some bugs at release but most if not all have been fixed with the firmware updates.
I won't worry much about it though.
at all. We report people who noticeably lag as cheaters, because that's how rare it is.dralla said:
I'll definitely be on tonight. See you guys at 9:00. Until then, I'm gonna go play some DQ8.
JS and Bob, you better be on tonight. This is our last chance to wish Bob luck for this weekend and to give JS shit before they travel to the Big Apple for the tournament.
I better hear some NeoGAF clan shoutouts on the coming podcast, btw.
Whoever from the GAF clan is up tonight please send a buddy invite to Bloody_Marcel (that's me) so that I can join some matches while I wait for the Clan invite to show up (Kaching sent me one yesterday but didn't show up oddly).
I'll be online (logged into Resistance) for the next 6 hrs so that I can receive/accept buddy invites. Wont be able to play today tho since I've got work to do. But at least I should be ready for the future.
Thanks
EDIT: Thank you TONX

I'm not sure how everyone else feels but I would love a patch that gave us an announcer for multi similar to Halo 2. I don't mean a similar voice but a voice that told you important info like 'orange team has the flag', 'one minute remaining' etc. I don't like taking my eyes away from the action to find out what's going on.

No problem, good times playing Lexington and Nottingham with ya. I'm stoked to play tonight.
Bearillusion said:
They do have it in Resistance, but its not an announcer. They have subtle noises for when a flag is taken, dropped, when your team is losing, winning, or when times almost up. I prefer that to an announcer IMO.

What do you mean by 'radio chatter'? I've only had the game a few days.
dralla said:
The team who is on top of things can always read the text that pops up. The last thing I want is to have some annoying announcer telling the other team I have teh flag when I'm off running back to my base, or when one of our teams have taken down echo in somerset assault so we can quietly go about augering the hell out of the other team's base node, and the announcer freakin' announces it so the other freakin' team all spawn there. Jeebus.
NO ANNOUNCER PLEASE. THIS GAME AIN'T UT.
