So last night I'm playing with Queeg, and just before that I had asked efertlisdotcom if he was going to join us. So, this is how it went:
me: rfom?
efertlis: ....
me: playing or not?!
efterlis: ....
efertlis: ....I need a break. I won't be on this weekend either.
me:
me:
I think I'm going crazy. efertils...not playing Resistance? Taking a break? WTFFF? And, what's the deal with Sutdawg? Where did he disappear to?
On the positive side, Queeg and I had some really good games. I was #1 for or in the top 5 for all of them (I think). With no efertlis or sutdawg stealing kills, my shotty and bullseye kills stunned the enemy into submission.
Then Queeg, JohnFKennedy and I played a TDM on westermorland. We got our asses handed to us. Queeg and I went 4/20. JohnF was better, but not by much. All three oppenents were on their second account, for sure. They were playing way too well for their stats.
Queeg and I didn't get any kills the first round. Never felt so helpless before - nothing I did worked.
Anyway, I'll be on for a bit tonight. Anyone joining me?

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!

I havent been able to play with you guys in this whole week since i got a damn cold on tuesday and still havent recovered. But today, i will join you guys once again.
i just want to say thanks to insomniac for ruining fps's for me....
i have recently stopped playing hl2 due to the weapons just being so dull.
no really thanks its been a long time since i have had proper fun in a fps even if it is a odd mix of the x-files, heartbeat and MoH. looking forward to resistance 2, is there any news on that possibility yet?

Possibility? Is pretty much a given.
This time next year we will be waiting for an imminent Resistance 2 release.
There's no way there will be a Resistance 2 release next year I believe. While Insomniac are usually damn fast with their releases I believe that due to next gen productions and they having two very different genres to focus on I think the cycles will go like this:
Resistance
Ratchet
One year break
Resistance 2
Ratchet 2
One year break
Personally I don't think we can expect Resistance 2 before spring 09. I can only imagine what crazy multiplayer dream that game will bring. In the mean time we will get Killzone 2 and Socom 4 in 2008.

They cannot afford a whole year break can they?
From 2002 to 2005 Insomniac released a new R&C game every damn year. Now they are bigger, and have TWO teams working simultaneously on both franchises with people moved around as needed. Also, they use the same engine for both R&C and Resistance, so every advancement they make during the production of R&CF will apply to Resistance 2 without a "dedicated" work on that, if you get what I mean.
Resistance 2 to be out by the end of 2008. Mark my words
Killzone 2 will be an early 2008 game I believe (spring at the latest). Resistance 2 will be the around-christmas release.
Sony are incredibly stuffed with multiplayer shooters this time around. I think they are at the very limit before these franchises start to eat into each other. We have Warhawk, Resistance, Socom & Killzone. All of them most likely multi-million selling franchises and also all of them totally unique.
Warhawk -> The Battlefield like experience
Resistance -> The 'UT' really fast paced with crazy weapons & skills experience
Socom -> The realistic tactical experience
Killzone -> The brutal semi tactical heavy experience

Sorry i couldn't make it on last night guys...
I had a 6-8 hour long paintball session yesterday... when I got home at like 5-6 I was so fricking tired.. and I had a headache...(because some guy managed to shoot me on my forehead... (and I had a mask with a brim... I still dont understand how he got that done)...
And I just passed out until like 6 am this morning..

Last night, I was trying to juggle between Football (Soccer), Warhawk, Rogue Galaxy, Valkyrie Profile 2 Slimera and Resistance, but by time it was time for Resistance I was unconscious.
There's no Football on today, and I'm not playing Warhawk tonight so that should leave me a couple of hours of sleep for Game Battle.

To clarify that - it's not a brand-new engine for R&CF, we've heavily modified and continued to develop the Insomniac Engine. So while it is the engine used in RFOM, there is a ton more work that has gone into it, something you can see by comparing the two games.
Hope that clears things up.

I'm still pissed we lost that CTF round 1-0. :/ I respawned literally 2 seconds from when the flag was captured but I couldn't find the person.
I wasn't playing so hot last night. hopefully I'll fare a bit better tonight.
I was really sleepy last night, I had like 3 beers but I just wasn't feeling right and was off alot with my bullseye tag.

I've played the game once online when I first got it and never touched it again. It just didn't gel with me. Tonight I decided to give Resistance's online another shot and even bought the map pack to increase my likelyhood of landing in an active game.
I've got to say I'm not a fan of the online set-up Resistance has, call me oldschool but I like having server lists. You can do these crazy things like see what the map is, how many people are playing, what the mode/objective is, etc.
It's kinda weak playing Capture The Flag with five other people on this too fucking huge map. You have to go on a nature hike just to see an enemy combatant. I don't want to quit out early but I get so bored roaming these empty maps.

I like Resistance's online setup. I almost always play ranked games rather than custom games--I don't even remember what the screen looks like for custom games.
You may want to play a few games along with the GAF clan. We normally play ranked games, with an occasional unranked custom game "just for fun" every now and then to shake things up. Most of the regular players from the GAF clan would be happy to help you out along the way.
