Integrated new maps don't work - never came up tonight. When I finally called it a night, efterlis, patsu and kaz were the only ones left. They might have got them.
I want my money back. As awesome as the new maps are, we can't play them, so they might as well not exist. I'm most certainly NOT buying a second map pack, if it's ever released.
One thing I'm sure of: the second map pack will be picked up by even less people.

why are people surprised? having to pay for maps in a game that uses matchmaking doesn't work, that's why Bungie makes their maps free after a while...so you can actually play on them. Make the maps free and than make them a required download to get into Matchmaking so EVERYONE has them.

you can't put a price on sparks

i would get them if they were free
i dont play resistance enough anymore to warrant buying the map pack at any price, really.

Misdirection.
Every game on PC has had FREE dedicated servers since Doom1. Microsoft's AOL For-Pay approach is the oddball, not the norm and should not be compared.
Epic sees the longterm value of giving maps away. It keeps people buying the game long after other games have been bargain-binned. Insomniac should follow their lead.

I told you it would work with three people. The match maker is fucked up, and the percentage of people that have the new maps is too low.
Maybe one day I'll experience the awesomeness of 40 player TDM on Camborne. ::cries::

It will work with larger parties, but it's rare because too few people have the damn thing. So, when we have a large party, finding a match on the new maps is unlikely.
The matchmaker probably needs tweaking too - it's a good thing kaz was playing with us last night because he can report back to Insomniac and get the shit tweaked.
There is one good thing coming out of all this: Insomniac knows what does and doesn't work with:
1. match making
2. map packs
3. pricing
4. minimum numbers needed for players to actually play on new maps on a regular basis
5. map integration
Their list is probably longer than mine...
SafeBet joined us later (That's 4 of us) when we had the 16p Camborne TDM. Kaz_Hirai saw everything anyway, so hopefully he can relay the problems to his team.
I played Meltdown once on Camborne (also 16p). It's cool and disorienting at the same time ...although the confusing part may be just me. I was hoping to play that level again with you guys. I can totally see Sutdawg and efertListDOTcom sniping from some interesting positions there.

I can't agree. For a start there's precedent (Halo, Gears(?)) and as long as there's a sizable gap between release and them being offered for free I doubt most people would mind having those maps put in regular rotation. Judging by comments in the thread I'd say a lot of those who have bought the pack (I got it straight away) would be in favour of such a move.
freethought said:
Both Gears and Halo allowed you to play the map pack in ranked, so that precedent doesn't apply to RFOM.
The maps are in the regular rotation now for those who have them. However, for four months, we have been unable to play them in ranked and that's as good as not having them at all. Disagree.

You guys had better keep all this talk to the Online forum if you don't want your thread locked. It's a serious issue, you guys are lucky you haven't been hit with the banstick TBH.

The online forum's description is faulty, any and all multiplayer discussion (at least for Halo) has to be over there.
A rule so clearly stated should be easy to apply fairly.
I've got a suggestion for Resistance/Resistance 2.
Halo has a ton of different gametypes and the games have a ton of variety.
It would be nice Resistance had this to some extent (I realize that Halo also has a much larger userbase, so it likely makes it easier to select different gametypes).
But, it would be nice, perhaps, if when we selected "ranked: free-for-all" if there were a variety of different types of games.
Right now you get either conversion or deathmatch for that selection. If anything, I would like to suggest just one more variety of game. It would be the same as deathmatch now. Except instead of all weapons it would be all weapons minus laark, shotgun, 40mm. I think alot of people would really apprecciate this type of game in ranked games. The same would go for team deathmatch. It would be nice to have this appear randomly in ranked games, alongside "all weapon deathmatch" and "conversion." I'm sure there are others who would love to see "limited weapons deathmatch" show up randomly from time to time.

That's just stupid. It's completely unreasonable to expect people to separate their discussions that way.
Leave the Online forum for meet ups, but the Gaming foum for discussing gaming. If we're discussing online play in the Gaming forum, so be it.
I call Nazi admins if they decide we can't even mention online play in the Gaming forum. Screw that shit, man.

Umm, I really hope you're wrong. And where would one place a discussion that involved both online and sp topics?

Game rocks, man. It truly rocks. I'm nearing one year of non-stop online play, and I'm not anywhere near bored with it.
BTW, we got Camborne and Westermorland last night. We played the 16 player maps even though there were only 10 people total playing. Still, AWESOME WOWSOME fun. Freaking Camborne OWNED. I love it. ::dances::
My hunch about Westmorland is right: the team that takes control of the high ground will most likely own the entire round. They not only get sniper rifles up there, they also have a LAARK. So, if we try to crawl up to take them out, we:
1. get picked off by snipers because they have some truly awesome hiding spots up there
2. get LAARKed up the ass
3. grenaded to high heaven
The bottom half has good weapons too, but no LAARK.
The best strategy is probably to have a couple of snipers to hold the guys up top at bay, and have everyone else rush up from both sides.

I don't know if i will be able to join you guys today. I mean, if the GT5P demo is coming out at the same hour as the clan night, then i will be skipping Resistance today
