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.

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!

Played well for a bit but towards the end I was just tired. M3 got his game back though, thanks to teh country tune.
I played pretty well last night, too, even though I was absolutely drained. I don't know what was wrong with me for the last week. I couldn't do shit - barely + in k/d, but usualy -1 or more. That was really frustrating.
Have to thank Pristine Condition - his country song and uplifting speech helped me a lot. GAF, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Thanks to all the new people as well as Kaching for showing up.
We lost the grimsby assault but I guess not everybody is familiar with the strategy so I apologize for not being able to explain it properly during the match (I guess my yelling and cursing doesn't really qualify as explaining).
Grimsby Assault strategy:
People who guard the nodes need to pick your spot close enough to the node to catch the other team coming in, hopefully work in pairs but don't get caught up in scrimmages too far outside the node. If you see a node being attacked, please help out quickly, offense can pitch in especially when defense gets wiped out.
For nodes like Oscar and November an attack doesn't have to go all the way into the base to inflict damage, as soon as he's around where the buses are he can start sniping the node with the auger (even through the open door and you CAN ZOOM to make sure you hit the rods) and do significant damage (20-30 pts easily), but make sure he doesn't get in there and start hitting the node with the flame thrower because that's one of the major damage-dealers, that is especially important for base defense, you can lose a TON of base health to a flamethrower and especially when an attack comes in from the back, once he's through the door he can hit L1 and it BURNS AND BURNS AND BURNS, and because there is no shutter for the base reactor, the damage doesn't stop until the alternate fire finishes burning. For base defense it's imperative that the defenders are positioned further out, where the northern and western main entrances instead of trying to guard all six doors in the base room, where you have to be really quick with the shotgun near the doorway, but even if one attacker makes it in and unloads with an alt-fire from the dragon we might be looking at losing half of our base health, so you're better off catching them early with a cheap shotgun in the face right when they come through the main west entrance or tag and bullseye them as they try to make it past the north entrance, plenty of places to hide and pop out.
As for offense we needs to figure out where we're spawning and where we're attacking. I think we get caught up too much on trying to control weapons on too many nodes, there are four nodes on the map and all of them have powerful weapons, of the four, Oscar and November are where the dragon and auger spawns, especially when foxtrot and echo has gone down, trying to control those two nodes made us too spread out and we have less control over November and Oscar. Personally as good as the Laark is as a scrimmage weapon, imo as a node/base attack weapon it's not all that great for grimsby because of too many narrow doorways where a defender can get right in your face when you upload a laark and both of you will get taken out and no damage is done to the base.
Attacking Oscar and Echo some of us should auger the nodes from the outside, especially Oscar because you can auger snipe the crap out of it from afar without actually having to make it in, if you're out of auger ammo, then go in and try to pick up more ammo inside or just dragon it to death, but augering alone does big enough damage for the initial phase of the attack.
The main weapon for attacking the base should be the dragon and grenades, go in, L1 with the dragon or just throw the grenades in. Arc charger is great but it takes too long to set up for my taste.
I hope this helps.

There was that one time the whole clans PS3's got wiped out, if it happened more than once it might be your router settings my Router used to suddenly decide it didn't like my router so I kept getting network errors left and right, but I had a nice direct chat with my router recently and everything okay with my router and PS3 now.

:Kittonwysadsmilie:, I dunno what was up last night. I played for like 4hrs with Chryz, Tonx, Shane and some random people from friends list without a problem. Then clan night starts and I get 3 straight network errors and was like screw this I'm going to sleep.
Humans own every map except Somerset and TDM with lots of shottys. In objective easy avantage to humans thanks to radar.Defuser said:
Last night I just remembered I used to have a headset for my PS2 well lets just say it's broken beyond recognition, but I still have the USB converter for the headset so I've just bought a uber cheap stop gap Headset (waiting on the Warhawk bundle) and you might hear me online tonight if everything goes to plan.
You log into your router by typing in the numbers xxx.xxx.xx.xx in the internet browser you'll have to check the instruction manual for the exact numbers because I can only speak of Netgear routers.
Or speak to the divine one that knows all the answers Google.
I learned that typing the PS3's IP into the PC's firewall meant bugger all.

In the first assault game we played last noight, something really weird happenned. During the first round, we took out the blue team base and won. Then, as the second match started i noticed that i was playing chimera again, then i asked over the micro why we were playing as a chimera again and a lot of unknown people started responding.
All of a sudden, a human character appears, i start shooting him and when i kill him, it said "you killed Kittonwy". I was like "WTF is going on". After all the confusion, the thing that happenned was that both Queeg and I were switched to the orange team in the second match, so we were playing against our own team in the second round.
