A lot of people use really nice bluetooth headsets with the PS3 and if the sensitivity is set anywhere near max you can hear EVERYTHING. I can sit there saying nothing and holding my breath and my mic icon will still constantly flash if I have the volume set to 5 on the PS3.

I'm trying to tell you that that's probably a matter of changing the settings on their headsets. It's not a quality of the service.
If somebody's broadcasting every fart or passing train, tell them to adjust it.
The bluetooth microphones we're all using on the PS3 have two slight disadvantages.
First, they are very low power devices for obvious reasons. They were designed to work with a cellphone that it right next to them and they have TINY batteries.
Second, they were designed to work in all kinds of inclement conditions while being mobile. They certainly have more levels of sound processing to reduce wind noise and to eliminate some other background noise issues. It's much more than just band gap filtered at the human voice frequency.
Microphones designed specifically for a home console don't have these rigid requirements outside of simple voice frequency passing and maybe a very weak filter to reduce some background noise and breathing. It's just a bit easier.
I honestly don't know how much a difference this makes, but it must make some. People are quick to knock bluetooth, but the primary problem with bluetooth that I've seen is underpowered, ultraportable devices that just don't have enough gain to their signal. Still, overall I'm happy with my Logitech Mobile Traveller headset on my PS3 and cellphone.

I got tired of re-pairing my headset between using it with my phone and the PS3. I grabbed an old USB set and it works much better.

I don't get any headset issues with my Sennheiser USB headset. I use this for my PC and PS3 all the time.

Speak for yourself dude, my HS820 ****ing rocks in quality perfect with my v710 <3.
Also dudes, do I have to always register my headset when I alternate between the PS3 and my cell phone? It seems that when I link one, the one link is invalid until I sync up again. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
I said I was happy with my Logitech. I simply listed technical reasons why a mobile bluetooth headset doesn't make for an IDEAL console headset. It doesn't mean you can't make a good, quality headset that sounds good. If I was a designer building a headset for the PS3 and the PS3 only, I would remove some of the filtering on a mobile device, increase the battery size, and increase the gain on the amplifier to the antenna. I would also try to make it utilize some of the controller bluetooth API so you can check the battery level on the screen along with (and just like) the controller. I would also have it charge from a standard USB Type-B mini cable.Christopher said:
And yes, I too have to re-register my device over and over again between my cellphone.
If you watch Ben's Bargains, occasionally bluetooth headsets pop on there for less and $10. I might get a second.

oh ok good post dude, I haven't actually tested my PS3 headset out on well....the PS3. So perhaps you could be right, I'm speaking about my phone. I'll be testing it out sunday with you dudes.

having multiple profiles does by default, since it starts the PS3 up at the profile selection screen
Ok I just beat it. Man the
the game really is one of the best console FPSs in a while. I am glad that
Without a doubt my favorite part had to be the
Also did anyone else
blowing up the tower with all the angels flying around trying to kill you along with the other Chimera was ****ing awesome
Hale didn't kill himself when the black ops found him, I was worried that in the sequel you would be someone else now I can hold out hope that they continue the story as Hale. Also it is pretty cool that you see those Black Ops people all around dead and just assume they are fight the war not coming after you. It is also pretty cool that the Chimera are forced out of the UK meaning that there will be new locations in the sequel and that it will likely be the humans on the offensive
Without a doubt my favorite part had to be the
battle to hold off the 2 stalkers and 1 widowmaker while they are blowing the bridge
Also did anyone else
think holy shit look at all those Angel cocoons they are all going to ****ing hatch and attack me when you are climbing the tower

Most Bluetooth headsets only let you pair with a single device. There are some that will let you sync to two devices, like the one I've been using.
Common limitation on most headsets, I guess.

Ya. When I finished the game on normal,
I went around and killed every angel (since one of the intel reports stated that angels should be the top priority regardless of other enemies) and killed the other chimera while waiting for the next angel. It was a fun firefight, but when it was over I was able to casually walk around and shoot all the bars on the reactor, rather than trying to destroy the bars during a major firefight. It seemed as if it was meant to be done without killing everyone and probably would have been a bit more dramatic.
damn i just beat the game for the first time!
Now that is how you do a final battle!
Ted Price has said a few times that Nathan Hale is just one person in a greater story, and i'm not sure how I feel about that. While he doesn't have the immediate recognition of Master Chief or Kratos, Insomniac do a great job giving him a personality without him saying much. His facial expressions really make an impact especially when he
or when he
or as he's
. I would really like to see more of the character, but i suspect he won't be the central role going forward.
To Insomniac: great job guys, looking forward to the next one for sure.

i was down to one bar of health as the last rod was opening. There was an Angel directly in front of me, but i just ignored it as i blasted away at the rod. Finally, the rod burst and the game was over. Intense.
The ending cutscene was satisfying, but it seems like the story could go in a lot of different directions, which is good and bad. Theres definitely some emotional ties between Parker and Hale that never got a chance to grow.

Ok I have 2 questions
1) Is the title Resistance refering to
or is talking about the fight? Or both?
2) Did
Also I started replaying the game last night and I like the Reaper. I was worried about it cause I never really understood how it controlled but I must say it is pretty freakin cool to be able to target 2 different things at once. I wish it was in the multiplayer match (specifically breach and meltdown) as it could add a lot if you could try to take out a reactor and defend yourself at the same time and take out 2 people at once when defending.
Yeah I really think though they should move the game into Europe
. Going into places like Paris and Berlin could be cool. But at the same time
1) Is the title Resistance refering to
Hale specifically as being resistant to the virus
2) Did
Cartwright die? I know they say they found his daughter at the end but they never mention him.

now that the Chimera have been wiped out in the UK putting the humans on the attack instead of defensive
they could go in the direction that the Chimera were digging or something so important in the UK that now they will send in everything to get it

An easy fix is to set your System User account to NOT auto-login. This will force the PS3 to boot to the XMB.
TTP said:Cool thing about the title is that it can mean both
Who knows for sure. Clearly a door left open for Insomniac storytellers.
I sure hope next installment will take place around different nations. Probably leading to eastern Russia.
Prob Tunguska when it's all said and done
I have another question about Cartwright. In the morse code on the last page it says:
wasn't Cartwright with Hale when
he encounters the tower at Cheddar Gourge? and therefore shouldn't he have had a reaction to the tharp field assuming there is a history of humans being effected by it? Is it possible that Cartwright has a resistance similar to Hale's he just doesn't know it cause he hasn't been actively infected yet?

I thought the Tharp field was what controlled the Chimera. Being uninfected, Cartright would have no problem with it. No?

My thoughts, exactly. I thought the
tharp field was something that controlled the chimera (perhaps angels are in the tower)

asked if Hale was all right
And the reapers are some of the coolest weapons, they certainly get massive style points.
Regarding this weekends scheduled matches (7pm PST Saturday/Sunday). I'm going out of town and it looks like I won't have a internet connection so I won't be able to shout out the call to you guys when meet up approaches. If you guys could remind each other and repost the PSN tag list or something that would have been helpful. Happy fragging.
