Support NeoGAF

[djkimothy]

What weapons are you using?

IIRC, I used shotgun then carbine once I hd thin them mostly. Switched to Auger for the big guys (I think).

You have an Auger?!?!?!

I only have the shotgun, bullseye and carbine. I've switched it around many times. Whenever the swarm gets bunched in, I switch to carbine, launch a grenade then switch back (usually bullseye due to high fire rate). I switch to shotgun when ever my grenades are out.

Spoiler

You can get the Auger for the first time just before the cathedral. You take it off an Auger-weilding Chimera, just before you fight the first big doggie-thing(s) IIRC.

What I ended up doing is getting set in a corner or, in an ideal case, back sort of in the doorway where you entered...so they all have to come at you from the same relative direction. Thin them out, then attack them with the shotgun.

Don't try to do the backing up and strafing bit that works with them most of the time in other areas, because in this open space, they'll come at you from the side and rear and chew you to bits. You must be on the move forward, and attack them, don't wait for them to be in range to attack you. Be very aggressive. If you can save a squadmate, do that, too. Keep him alive as long as possible. His fire will help.

You can get the Auger again after the swarm.

I had two ways of doing it. If you go to the entrance behind you it funnels them in and it is easier to control them, also if you walking through the pews they will follow you and that will get them to file together.

 

[djkimothy]

OMG, you guys saved me with so much frustration. I didn't think of using the entrance as a choke point.

Thanks guys!

 

[Aeon712]

I just looked at my online kill ratio and it's

.711

, It's hard being 69 kills in the hole.

What's that in EST? I live on the east coast.

 

[Wollan]

That would be 10pm EST.

 

[JB1981]

i can't wait to play tonight! lol

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Me too. Can't wait.

NeoGAF's Resistance Clan is great. Best clan I've been in since my Halo days. So many really great players, but no huge attitudes. That's what is so awesome. No one mentioned to me how much I completely suck compared to almost everyone else on the field! :lol

I'm so damn brutal (and not in the good way) right now in Team Deathmatch. I don't really know the maps yet, so I can't always find grenades (bombing is usually my strength in FPSs) or grab a sniper rifle and do what I'd normally do. So I find myself just trying to be defensive and not let the team down too much. Hope you better players appreciate somebody drawing all the fire, (usually with my back!) and don't get too pissed off until I can get up to speed a bit and actually hang in this game.

Breech is amazing with the NeoGAF swarm. Its just a pleasure to be a part of such a huge rush of crazed troops and hot metal.

Standard meet up times (for whenever you have the opportunity):

Tuesdays 7pm PST

Saturdays 7pm PST

Sundays 7pm PST

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. Again, the first one to get online should start a party and invite the others as they come online.

Also, it has come to my attention that over 20 people have started to show up for these meetups and that means one party is not enough. If that is the case then one of you simply need to create a second party. If you're the party leader (of either) then posting your details in this thread would be helpful.



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.

I forget who came up with the term in context. Wasn't my idea, although I seem to be the Preacher Of All That Is Wedge-like.

Also people, it would be a big plus if everyone invested in a headset. For headset details and recommendations, follow this link. Good group play is helped by using your headset to report in changes that occur in the heat of battle. Enemy groups, Snipers, Node status and so forth.




For those who missed the details on the 1st UPDATE (aka patch) which released December 21st you can read the details here.

PS! Please don't quote this post unless you're on a new page (where this isn't posted).

 

[Captain N]

I still haven't gotten an invite for the clan

Captain_N is my name on there.

 

[JB1981]

Me too. Can't wait.

NeoGAF's Resistance Clan is great. Best clan I've been in since my Halo days. So many really great players, but no huge attitudes.

Yeah, we're all just here to have fun. We haven't run into any tough resistance as of yet, though - then we'll have to strategize and start giving orders and demanding results!

 

[JB1981]

I still haven't gotten an invite for the clan

if kaching isn't on, just send me a buddy invite and i'll invite you to the party that way. my tag's Beamber.

 

[Wollan]

Twenty minutes until meetup now. I'm going to bed. Have a good one.

 

[lunlunqq]

oh noooooooooooooooooooooo....

"Network connection failed. Disconnecting from network. "

 

[Nos_G]

Can't connect either... boourns

 

[JB1981]

i won't be on til later cause of the game.

keep trying to connect guys, took me about 6 times to log on last night.

 

[Bad_Boy]

waiting for the game to end myself.

 

[Remy]

Yeah, I'm having the same problem.

It's failing at an earlier point than the errors last night - really bizarre.

 

[Wollan]

Is it the Resistance servers or the general PSNetwork? The Resistance servers were supposed to be under maintenance this weekend.

 

[Argyle]

Just managed to log in after trying like 10 times...so maybe it is up now?

This is logging into Resistance, I logged into PSN fine (but it did seem to log in a bit slow)...

 

[JB1981]

Is it the Resistance servers or the general PSNetwork? The Resistance servers were supposed to be under maintenance this weekend.

Resistance.

 

[SleazyC]

I'll hop on after that Pats-Colts game. Hope to see a lot of people on tonight again.

 

[Remy]

I've just gotten on, looks like things are clear.

 

[Kittonwy]

They already did the maintenance this weekend I think. I didn't have any problem logging on PSN just now.

Still waiting for the game to end though.

EDIT: Damn it, I hate the colts.

 

[Captain N]

Captain_N is my name can someone add me to their friends list and invite me?

 

[Red Blaster]

I can play now as well, someone invite me plz. Ranger-Albatross is the name.

 

[The Jer]

My PSN name is TheJer
I'm not that great (I ussually finish right in the middle), but feel free to add me.

 

[Agent X]

I'll hop on after that Pats-Colts game. Hope to see a lot of people on tonight again.

That's what I did. I waited for the football game to end.

I'm in the lobby now as I type this. I had no problems logging into the server.

 

[Christopher]

bitches I'm getting the game this week add me if you wanna play Chris_Russo

 

[Red Blaster]

Sent out some buddy invites to a few of ya, I'll need that clan invite tho. Come on, I wanna shoot alongside you guys.

 

[number386]

I'm down for some games, is there a GAF game going now?

 

[OverHeat]

Good games tonight guys!!

 

[dark_preacher]

good games tonite.

i made sergeant. can't play till next weekend as i have to work on our tuesday games.

 

[M3Freak]

I was in three games. The last one was brutal - GAF am destroyed.

Hopefully I can get in on Tuesday. If not, see you guys on Saturday!

 

[Remy]

Ugh, after the party split, we got wrecked hardcore in a Team DM game. :/

Still, before the split, fun!

 

[Agent X]

Yeah, it was pretty good gaming tonight.

Somehow the last team game I was invited to glitched out on me--my HUD disappeared, and I couldn't do anything other than wander around aimlessly. I couldn't even respawn after "suiciding" by shooting up a gas can at close range. So, if you were in that game, wondering why I abruptly disappeared...now you know. I wouldn't quit out on anyone here intentionally!

 

[theBishop]

just a heads up,

over at myresistance.net, you can register your PSN account with their online tracking system. From there, you can see all your stats online as well as unlock new gear from the "Soldier Loadout" screen.

The wallpapers are pretty nice too. ~_~

 

[supermackem]

I wish they would hurry up and patch the jpn version, im sick of fighting skeleton people they are too hard to see and kill. Any news on the severs too.

 

[JB1981]

Sorry I had to bail out early guys. Hopefully I'll see some of you Tuesday after I get out of work.

 

[Aeon712]

The opposite happened to us, we played a cool mall map on Team DM that I never seen. The games were fun last night esp that breach game we almost lost. Now I have to go to work on less then 5hrs of sleep .

 

[Captain N]

This game rocks! I had a great time playing with everyone, but I really do need a mic.

 

[aloof]

nobody added me or anything, i sent a pm to kaching as well. fine!

 

[lunlunqq]

Great fun playing with everybody last night. somehow, i'm not feeling it these days. my kill/death rate has been decreasing for the past a few days... maybe i should take a break.

 

[kaching]

I still haven't gotten an invite for the clan

Captain_N is my name on there.

Sorry, I've fallen a little behind on sending the clan invites. I have 4 or so pending and you're one of them. I'll send invites tonight.

nobody added me or anything, i sent a pm to kaching as well. fine!

You, OTOH, I have tried adding, twice. Each time I got a rejection which means you either 1) already belong to a clan or 2) are playing games with me. I sent you a message about this. If you're already a member of a clan, you have to leave that one to join GAF because Resistance only lets you belong to one clan at a time.

 

[supermackem]

This has just had a patch on the jpn servers, it looks like it was the patch you guys got awhile ago. Still cant play cross server make it happen sony.

 

[OverHeat]

[JB1981]
