That card is awesome, anyway has it ever been disclosed as to how
the Chimera control the weather?

Edit: Oh I just noticed the one with only 2 eyes....
 
That's great. The "Ruh Roh" expression toward the flamethrower... must of been drawn after the patch. :D

Not specifically, but it's something to do with the towers. Speaking of which, didn't one of the cut scenes say the towers had actually been
excavated, War of the Worlds style?

If it makes you feel any better I beat the game and I am not really seeing the hint.

What a testament it is to the universe Insomniac's created that you guys are searching for hints in a holiday card. I just thought it was an awesome little touch -- I didn't expect it to fuel speculation.

Anyways, all this talk MyResistance.net (
something buried in Nevada, the build-up in Alaska
) has me pining for more.

There happens to be 18 gaffers (in the clan) who hold officer ranks...

[/random fact]

Considering the amount of gametime it takes to make officer, that says alot about how much fun Resistance is to play online.

The game has only gotten better and better since launch...

Perhaps there's hope for new maps/modes in the near future?

What is the hierarchy and what are the requirements for each promotion? I just asked to join the gaf clan so I'll try to work my way up and not dissapoint!

And I promise I'll join some games. :)

Yeah I have become pretty interested in the history of the Chimera, like what happened in Russia, origins, what secret operations the US was invovled in, Hale's role, what impact the effects of the battle in London will have on the Chimerian invasion, will the humans
push forward into Europe to clear out the Chimera or stay back defending the reclaimed UK? will atomic bombs be developed and used to take out key towers? Will the US invade Russia and create 2 theathers in the battle?
, who are the actual leaders of the Chimera?
we know the angels control things around the towers but there has to be more heirarchy than that. what the hell are they digging for and why are these towers here? what will the US do with Hale now that he is in government custody? Will they be able to develop a vaccine for the virus?

Resistance 2 is now my most wanted game:lol

Yes USB seems to be the way to go, only problem I've had is that it's stopped letting others hear me after awhile. Simple unplug and reconnect fixes that though.

I get that too. It's annoying because it happens at the worst possible time.

I have to say that I'm not an FPS in general. The last couple of console FPS games I've played and owned were from the Time Splitter series. They were good games, but they have nothing on R:FoM.

I'm a little further in the campaign now (
the level immediately after killing the very first stalker
. The game just keeps getting better and better.

The onliny multiplayer is more fun than I thought it would be. Well, I've never really played much online to begin with, but still - wow. The GAF clan is certainly making it a lot more fun. Everyone appears to be in it for fun and having a blast with "friends", so it makes it much more enjoyable. It's also good that as a clan we're actually really good. :)

I dunno...at the rate I keep getting PMs for people to be added to the NeoGAF clan, it seems like the word is getting out and people who have PS3s are buying it at a steady pace.

Have you had requests from GAF members only or random people playing online as well?

It feels good once you reach that mark. Because of the stat backlog I was Sergeant Major of the Army for 2 whole weeks before I became an officer.

well we know from my RFOMPS3.com that
President Grace and the US have already used atomic bombs in Alaska :0
He claimed that they were doing "testing."

What is the hierarchy and what are the requirements for each promotion? I just asked to join the gaf clan so I'll try to work my way up and not dissapoint!

There are 20 ranks. Each rank has 3 pips (for a total of 60 levels). You move up levels by getting XP. You earn XP after every ranked game. Getting placed higher (as a result of the points you scored) than other people in the game yields more XP. You aren't told how much XP you earned after a game but you are told (on you're character/stat sheet) how much XP you need to move up another level (so I suppose you could figure it out). I don't think you can earn negative XP (it would surprise me). So, I don't think you can get demoted (or I would probably know:D ). Which means you don't have to be good to reach a certain rank, you just have to play. Each time you move up a rank you get more cute accessorries to put on you're character. I don't rememeber where I've seen the hierarchy before and I'm a little too lazy to find it right now, but I know its out there....

I think I recall reading somewhere that Insomniac is putting a lot of time working on this in order to get it out by the March PS3 launch in Europe. I can't remember where I saw it but jstevenson might be able to give us some more information as we get closer to the EU launch.

I'm sure this has already come up in the already 68pages but I just noticed that Hale has a knife on his arm. I wanna earn some stealth kills with it :).

No random people, but I've gotten quite a few requests from GAF members I've never seen posting or posting very rarely. I know there's also at least a few GAF clan members who have invited some friends to join and I've sent them invites.

We lost a few last night...

Meltdown was giving us a hard time...

The skill of the player-base is definetly starting to rise.

I was in a kind of a funk yesterday so I know I wasn't helping. Even though we lost a few when we have 10+ people we usually go around steamrolling people. The wedge is too powerful.
 
I finally started playing Resistance. I only played the first mission, but I had fun with it. Can't wait to play more. This might be the first FPS I finish since Halo.

I'm currently download the patch online right now. I hope to get going online later on.
 
yeah, i've had the game since launch and i just haven't had time to play it realy. i always try to play on the weekends with gaf, now. makes it a much better experience.

Nice card, very Calvin and Hobbes.

No offense, but I think they were going for a Chuck Jones art style, as an homage to his most famous Christmas-themed work--his classic cartoon version of Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," rather than something from Calvin and Hobbes. It's kinda got 1966 Chuck Jones' style there, albeit with a bit heavier inking.

That's what it looks like to me, anyway.

Awesome card, either way.

I have to say I really appreciate everybody who shows up and you guys are just so easy-going and fun to team up with, even though I'm a n00b at this clan thing and I'm a bad shot. So thanks a bunch.

That's the part that makes me go back.

There are some ridiculously good players in there. I still can't tag well with Bullseye, but I have met guys who can tag me successfully no matter what I do, where I hide. There are some guys who headshot really well too (like within 3-5 Carbine shots).

The only thing I hate is people who quit, especially Meltdown.

It works fantastic in Breech and Meltdown if we have the right amount of people online. I've been in some 3 minute Breech games when we had 18 players online.

Totally agree. Makes you wonder. And hey look, I got internet connection. But only in passing (our deal is still on SleazyC, you gather the crew tonight).

Edit: Insomniac, this is me requesting a ton more of these spoofs in the same style regurarly. Bring'em on.

If there is a Target around you I would look there, it seems Target has been stocking a larger number of 20gb units than anyone else.
