That was a sight to behold. The other team would pop out at their base exit, and immediately get gunned down by the entire GAF team. They'd randomly chuck out grenades, or foolishly jump down and try to run - there was no escape.
I also enjoyed lobbing grenades into their base every now and then. Good times.
tonight, history witnessed the largest GAF party ever and the power of flying wedge. Plz allow me to present to you pictures that captured this moment.
16 in the party!!!!
there were more GAFers online, but not responding to our invitations...
results of the meltdown game where we totally owned the other team, flying wedge style!
results of a later TMD game where we also owned our opponents hard. i almost got a perfect game in the first round with 18-1... only died once in the last second
another TMD game... i dont remember much about this one except that we owed the other team.
this was the only good competition we had tongith before many of us left the party. A meltdown game against another big clan. We lost a close first round, then scored a swift win in the second round.
it is unfortunate that i didn't capture the moment when all GAFers were camping at the gate of enemy base, killing everyone who dared to come out. that was total ownage!

I turned the micophone level down to 1 and it still does it. When I'm on the screen setting the level, there are no bars being colored when I'm not talking, so it doesn't seem to be picking anything up. The bars only fill up when I start talking to test it. I sent an email to the company about this and hopefully they'll be able to help.

We're not picky (the more the merrier. Only demand is that you read NeoGAF from time to time) and in a Resistance clan I think there's room for 200. Send kaching a pm with your details to join.
and guys/gals
Don't forget about the scheduled game tonight (Sunday) at 7pm PST.

I kinda expected GAFers to talk a bit more. Seemed very quiet during the couple of games I played with y'all. Not much strategy talk, just lots of killin', lol...
Remember to defend the base for Breach next time. And we need 2 (or more) squads for Breach. 1 to defend the base, the other(s) to capture nodes. 1 huge squad is cool for thrown-together groups of players, but against a clan that knows what they're doing, it would mean a fast loss.
But ya, it was fun to finally play with some of you guys Saturday night. I'll try to be on again Sunday night.

we need both. i was defending with a few other people, and you simply can't defend forever. We lost the first round in part because our offense wasn't strong enough.
the reason we won the second round is because we captured the node right near their base, and people started getting more aggressive on offense.

Don't forget in Breach controlling nodes unlocks several base defenses. First you get radar, then faster weapon spawns, followed by auto-turrets (in base), then auto-mines (in base), and finally Blast Doors so no one can enter. So its good to defend the base a bit in the first half, but if you start controlling several Nodes its probably time to roll out the offensive (and/or protect the Nodes you have).
7 pm pst tonight, right after Jack Bauer!
And yeah, we should probably have a separate defense squad for breach maps. I can tell you right now, I'll be on defense 100% of the time on breach, LOVE DEFENSE. On meltdowns, I like to defend the central-most nodes as well.
I'm still a little annoyed we lost that first meltdown against AFK. After the first lost, we seemed to kick into high gear and smoked them in about 4 minutes the second though
I'm still learning the maps, so I have to constantly check my map to see what was just taken. Little annoying.
Looking forward to tonight's killing fields...

Suggestions suggest(!) that creating parties and going into ranked games together would be the preferred thing to do for the meet ups. So no longer do the first one to get online create a room but instead invite everyone to a party. This however makes it very important that you're all a part of the NeoGAF clan (pm kaching with details) or simply have all folks listed above on your friend list.

Got to the [spolier]Angel containment tank[/spoiler] at Northern command. So far the game has been beyond awesome. I really like the way the story is going and how there is intel all over the place telling the story of how everything went down similar to Resident Evil. The different guns are so fun to use and I love the fact that there is a lot of strategy involved in what gun works best in each situation, that how you are forced to use every gun, and most importantly how balanced they all are (this is only for SP I really haven't played much MP yet).

I know. That's why I said we need more than 1 squad. Preferably 3... so that there's defense for base and offense: node captures & enemy base attack. But last night, all of GAF were in 1 huge squad, lol. This goes for CTF and Meltdown as well (2 squads may be fine).
If I remember correctly, we didn't have much defense for our base Saturday night. I forgot which round it was, but there was only me and kaching doing base defense. Then basically their entire team came all at once and we got overtaken. We took out like half of them, but they swarmed our base like crazy.

Kittonwy said:I'm sorry, I should have been chipping in on the defense, but the rush of joining the wedge, it was overwhelming, the hailstorm of bullets, the bloodlust... I just couldn't resist.
It's all good. Like I said before, against a thrown together group, having 1 huge, intimidating squad can be very fun and entertaining. But against a clan that knows how to play team games (not TDM), multiple squads working together strategically is a must.
It was just a learning experience anyway, so no biggie... I don't think [GAF] has really been up against a good clan thus far, right? Plus, [GAF] isn't exactly one of those hardcore, competitive clans; it's more of a just for fun group (and it sure was fun).
I think part of the problem with trying to separate into two squads is that we have no way of knowing whether or not we're going to jump into Breach games or CTF/Meltdown or Team DM.
We can certainly work on the coordination going forward, though. I tend to hang back on Breech games.
Also, Wollan, I just realized I'm not in your list. RemyVJA.

It would be nice to assign squads before the game, since some of us (like me) don't have a mic yet.
Thanks for adding me above. I'll be online at 7pm PST, but I'm probably not good enough yet to be in your "super" wedge; I'd just bring down your statistics. Perhaps I can play on the other team and unsuccessfully throw 'nades at your formation from a distance.

EDIT: BTW, last night was the first time I played multiplayer online. Does anyone know of a good resource/FAQ for online strategies or even weapon strategies? The only faq I've found so far is at IGN and it's fairly thin. I just read about the Bullseye L1/red laser charge/bullet charge technique here and am wondering how many little pointers and skills I'm missing out on.

Personally I don't really think it matters if you aren't that good or not. From what I can tell we were just playing to have a good time and we had GAF memebers spread all across the score board. I just found it incredibly fun running around with people with headsets and as long as you can point and shoot I don't think you would bring down any statistics. The only way you can get better is to play and why not have fun while you are doing it?garrickk said:
garrickk said:
Here's a poor attempt to rattle off a quick FAQ for all aspects of online play; keep in mind this is based on my experience and people are more than welcome to correct me because I'm probably wrong in a few places.
GENERAL
Human vs. Chimera: People may play better as one or the other, but truth be told, they're pretty balanced.
Chimera advantages:
- Starts with the Bullseye - larger clip/quicker fire rate than the Carbine, plus you get unlimited tags for homing.
- Rage Mode (tap L2) allows you to sprint and do more damage. Watch your heat meter while you do so, as it will drain your health to 50% and make you more susceptible to quick kills. Rage mode also shows anyone standing behind walls, so activate it to check rooms before you burst in.
Human advantages:
- Radar will pick up enemies within range of teammates that are firing or in rage mode. Check the map by pressing Left on the D-pad.
- Starts with a free frag grenade - don't forget to use it.
- Sprinting doesn't cost you health, like Rage Mode (although you can't fire while you sprint). To sprint, tap L2 once.
- Can crouch - hold L2. Seems obvious, but since you heal all your health back in MP (instead of the nearest quarter), you should always take an opportunity to duck and cover if you can.
Shake It Off: If you get hit with a tag from the Bullseye, an ion burst from the Arc Charger, an Air-Fuel grenade, or flames from the Dragon, you'll see an icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Quickly shake the controller repeatedly and you'll shake it off. It may be in your best interest to drop one hand from your controller to do this if you don't need to fire back.
Don't Get Discouraged: If you're getting pounded one round, if you see the other team go up 200 points, if you can't find any weapons - don't give up. It's very easy to feel like you've had a bullshit round; you will have your time in the sun. Any contribution to the team, so long as you're not standing in the corner idle, is helpful.
Individual Weapons
Grenades: Frag grenades will pop immediately if you physically hit an opponent with it; Hedgehog grenades are best for tight spaces; Air-Fuel grenades will stick to your opponents if you can hit them with one directly.
Carbine: The alt-fire 40mm grenade allows for reasonably easy one-hit kills without the lag time of regular grenades.
Bullseye: See the last page for details on how to set bullet traps with the bullseye, as well as tips on long-range sniping.
Shotgun: The shotgun consistently does 50 damage even from a few steps away. The alt-fire doesn't do enough damage for single hit kills from that range - since it reloads slower, stick to the primary.
Arc Charger: Nearly useless in deathmatch, but the most important weapon in Meltdown/Breech. Alt-fire a few shots into a node and you've got an easy cap. Learn where this is on every map with those modes. Make it a frequent grab if you can.
Auger: Like the arc charger, it's mostly useless - doesn't do enough damage in a regular firefight to keep you alive. But it's a good secondary choice for capturing nodes in Meltdown/Breech, and the shield can occasionally come in handy in maps with choke points.
FarEye: Tapping alt-fire gives you preset zoom ranges; there's no time-slowing as there is in the SP (obviously). As someone said upthread: the best way to aim with the FarEye is by getting yourself lined up for a head-level shot, and then using the L stick to move horizontally.
Dragon: This weapon is good against two types of opponents: Chimera (as they are susceptible to heat) and newbies (who don't know how to shake it off). Otherwise, keep away from it.
LAARK: As with most video game rocket launchers, you want to work the splash damage here, not try for a direct hit. Aim for the feet.
Melee: Unless you're in a custom game with damage turned up, you need two hits to knock someone out. This isn't Gears.
Game Mode Tips
FFA Deathmatch: Find other people duking it out 1v1 and spray at both. Assist points are just as good as all other points - and you have a reasonable chance of stealing one or both kills.
Conversion: In conversion, you (generally) get two lives: one human, one Chimera. You get points not only for wiping out the other side, but also merely for surviving. This is the polar opposite of Deathmatch - you do not want to bounce from fight to fight. Pick your battles carefully; get some long range hits in if you can. Survival is key.
Team Deathmatch: Yeah, yeah, I keep going on and on about the Flying Wedge, but there's a reason. When you have 4+ members of your team swarming around the map together, you will generally hit 1v4 or 2v4 situations, and if each member of your team hits the other side with at least one bullet, you'll get 10 points for the kill and 2 points for each assist. This can add up to absurd levels - last night we won a 1500-point round with ~120 kills and ~150 assists. Never mind that the added cover and support will keep you from getting wrecked too often.
Meltdown: This is a node-control game; get a headset, give status updates to your teammates, and figure out what your opponents are doing. If they're swarming a node trying to take over, and no one is defending, get the hell over there. If everyone on your team is defending, sneak around and cap a node out from under them. And as said above: get yourself an Arc Charger or an Auger for converting nodes.
CTF: It's CTF. You know how this works.
Breech: Breech works a lot like Meltdown except that the ultimate goal is to attack the reactor in the other team's base. Capping nodes gets you advantages, like more weapons or defense mechanisms in your base, but remember beyond all else: there is no recovering from damage inflicted to your base. If you see "Your Base Is Under Attack" and no one is on defense, it might be in your best interest to get killed so you can respawn at the base and maybe save the day.
I'm just waiting for my clan invite (I was slow in PM'ing Kaching - my fault). I mistook my name on Wollan's list to mean I was "queued for inclusion."commish said:

we play ranked games, so basically, once the party finishes the rank game, you wait in lobby and the party leader will send you a party invite and you accept. then we play. You can't join ranked games in process so you have to wait till they finish which im doign right now but it seems liek they have been playing for a hour. I might just study then.
