Yep, the wedge works extremely well in breach when we have enough people to completely overrun just about any resistance the opposition has, pardon the pun. The manchester level is a bit harder because it's so big and the point of entry is so narrow to the enemy's base, sometimes it's such a damn battle of attrition.

Not too bad, so far. Given, I did just finish Lost Planet on Extreme, which is totally aggrivating in so many ways, so it's been a smooth ride since that.
The difficulty does ramp up later on (I just got to Viper's Nest), so I'm curious to see if it'll have any "I wanna throw a controller" moments. :lol

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:
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).
This is just a reminder for the game tonight.
Steroyd said:What is the difference between difficulties is it the usual take more damage give less damage or do they up the Ai and stuff?
Yay I'm a member now.
There's more damage which basically requires the player to use cover if he wants to stay alive. The enemy placement is much more challenging, not sure about AI being smarter but I finished hard awhile ago and in the last level the elites were trying to keep me pinned down with blue bullseyes while one of them tried to rush my position and flank me from the side.

You have to set it up first in system settings.
1) In the XMB, go to "Settings" > "Accessory Settings" > "Audio Device Settings. (For Bluetooth, you must go through the "Register Bluetooth Device" Menu first.)
In the "Audio Device Settings" menu, set both "Input Device" and "Output Device" to your headset, then start speaking into your headset and adjust your "Microphone Level" setting accordingly, using the meter at the top of the screen.
2) Boot up Resistance, Go to "Multiplayer" > "Online Game."
"Accept" then "Continue" on the next two screens, then go to "Options" > Audio Device Settings, just to make sure the settings carried over from the settings you just made in the XMB.
That's it for setup.
When you get in the game:
When you are in a public lobby, you'll need to press down the "L3" to talk.
You can join a squad, either when the game is loading, or after a game is started, and you don't have to hold down the "L3" to talk freely with your own squad. NeoGAF Clan typically talks on X-Ray squad.
Just finished the game, and it easily exceeded all of my expectations. Reviewers made it sound like the game was your standard fair fps, but it's much more IMO. I haven't played a console shooter this good since Halo 1. The story is really good, and a second play-through is a must in order to collect more intel/clues about what really went down. Story was really solid and has depth. I can't wait to read some of the spoilers/theories you guys posted earlier in this thread.
Graphically, Resistance does things differently. It doesn't throw out insanely detailed textures, insane normal-maps, and other effects that seem to be the toast of the town. While it uses many of these effects, they are extremely toned down for artistic purposes more than anything. They went with a more green/brown look ala Saving Private Ryan. I actually enjoyed the look of the game. The Geometry is jaw-dropping. Some of the architecture is unreal. Snow covered London is gorgeous. The snow effect is something that needs to be seen, it's amazing. What impressed me the most was the amount of information being processed. Tons of bullets, snow, debris, particle effects galore, NPC's skirmishing with Chimera, all going on without a hint of slowdown. Silky smooth framerate.
I played the game on Hard, and early on found it a bit easy. As the game progresses however, the AI really ramps up. I was down on the AI early on, but after several beat-downs later in the game, I take it all back. While the AI isn't revolutionary, it does a fine job. I just wish the game was that difficult throughout. What can I say, I'm a masochist. I loved the last 3 or so hours. Intense battles, insane boss/enemy fights, and tons of shit to shoot at.
Awesome game IMO, can't wait for a sequel. I'm the biggest pessimist when I hear about new IP's. I had zero expectations for this game, I thought it would be an average game. Far from it. Solid 9 IMO, and their is no 10 in my book unless we're talking about MGS3.
I'll probably be on later tonight for some multiplayer goodness.

Edit: Can you use a Black-Ops skin in multiplayer?
3 is what I have mine set to but you'll find that it all depends on how loud you speak and how your mic is built as to cut down on interference or amplify your voice. Don't think you can actually have rooms for online play; we usually just start a party up and invite as many people as we can.djkimothy said:

Awesome gaming tonight, but we got our asses handed to us a few times - competition is improving!
That arc weapon has got to go in Breah - it's way too deadly. We got destroyed that one round by one dude who got a single shot our node and took out 90% of it - even with like 5 of our guys shooting at him!
I won't be on Sunday night. Played my fill for the whole weekend. See you guys on Tuesday.
Oh - I suggest the GAF clan list be updated with everyone's time zone. Us EST guys are getting really hosed with the 7:00 PM PST meet ups.

My mic wasn't set right...
I talk to myself constantly while playing...
That was slightly disturbing and funny all at the same time. Though, it was becoming a bit of a downer eventually.
Get some practice playing the campaign and mulitplayer - you'll stop complaining so much!

Now I really with my mic wasn't on the fritz. Listening to someone talk to themselves would have made that much more entertaining.
I think my mic was a bit to sensitve during a few games. Sorry if that bothered anyone. I may just get a new mic, so I don't have to mess with this one anymore. It only seems to work half the time anyway.....
Safe Bet said:I'll work on keeping it quiet.
It's cool. It's too bad there's no mute button my headset, as I often like to yell at myself when playing online. And it'd be really nice if Sony released a first party wireless headset, with the caveat being it function better than MS's POS wireless headset.

I know it sucks to break up into smaller squads but I think that's why we are losing the Breech/Meltdown games we lose.
It seems like we go from not having enough defending to having too many.

I thought it had more to do with the team doing better on maps that we're more familiar with (aka manchester and somerset), we did pretty well on those but not so well on maps that we might not have completely figured out, that said I might just be speaking for myself, mostly.
Oh and maybe it had to do with some guy who can kill people with the bullseye with ONE TAG while turning in mid-air!!!

Can we get some time zone listings - pleeeeease? They should be added to the official list of people who have added their names here. I'd like to see where most people are.
I suggest we use the time that is the most convenient for everyone, or even possibly have different meet up times so that everyone can be accomodated.
Oh: I'm EST.

I can't remember if Wollan said he'd be able to post this for today. I've done it anyway.
Note: I added a new column: Time Zone. I've edited the tags for those that have already stated what their time zone is.
