The "Wedge" sounds dangerous. Well placed grenade, anybody...??

I can't play online!
Does anyone know why? My NAT is set to "Type 3" (what is this? Open? Closed? Strict?), and whenever I select Multiplayer, I get a "Network connection error, cannot connect to network" message. I have a US copy of the game on a Japanese PS3.....will that be affecting it? Also, would the fact I'm in a territory where the PS3 hasn't yet been released affect it?
HELP! I wanna play Resistance online =(
(PSN Store works still >_>)

i actually saw this happen. theres apparently a glitch in the corner of the breach grimsby map where when you're chimera in rage mode you bunch up together and go to the corner of your base and apparently the game screws up. well while they were all bunched up, this guy came in with a laark and just destroyed them. 8 kills easily in that one blow.

Ok, wtf is up with the grenades? I ran into firefights convinced I was armed with the grenades that I foolishly assumed I had received after walking over a pick-up, only to discover that nothing happened when I tried to throw grenades. This happened randomly in every one of tonight's games.

Maybe someone ran over it before you did. Sometimes I wonder about that too, it could just be someone running right behind you sneaking in on the pick-up.

Nope, it was just me and the grenades. Annoying as hell.

Sure it wasnt the granade round for the carbine? Also sometimes I miss weapons while sprinting or in rage mode.

This makes me chuckle.

It happened to me once, but it was because another chap was running side by side with me. I totally could not see him until I turned (realizing that I didn't hear the grenade-pick-up buzz).
Talking about glitches...
Another time I actually spawned inside/overlapped with another Chimera. It's as if I'm wearing a Chimera mask.

Careksim, I think you're one of the comrades I tried to take down today.
Muahahaha... hope you're not freaked out.

Used to happen to me a lot, until I found out that forwarding ports used my PSN to my PS3 was necessary. Since I did that, I've nary had a problem.
Here are the protocols and ports:
TCP: 5223
UDP: 3478 - 3479
UDP: 3658
After I did that, my Nat type changed to Type 2. It's been working very well ever since. I do have network dropouts here and there, but I think it's because of the wifi connection.

I like to see how Resistance cities are inspired by real cities :
^ I was noticing this shot is zoomed in so the HUD is almost "cut out." What's up with the text at the bottom?: 'This standoff won't last! We're taking that supply truck. Braddock you've...'bouc_emissaire said:
supply truck?? Braddock??
And the guy in the last pic needs to use the shield/take cover. :\

Opposite happened to me last night, during that mixed game our team couldn't tell friend from foe unless we were close enough to get the target to turn red. I actually went running with a chimera thinking we were gonna wedge tell he turned and shot me:lol.patsu said:Ok... mystery solved. Yesterday I was firing at a Chimera and couldn't put him down. That's because I was a Chimera too.
Happened today 1 more time... How do you spell sh-tupid ? Must be too much work and Resistance at the same time.

...which is what I do after getting each week's episode via torrent.
Presumably you've got a ps3 connected to your TV if you're playing Resistance, right?
Anyways, I was just chiming in to ask people how much longevity Resistance is having, and to find out how the online community around the game is changing over time? I'm looking forward to playing it myself and don't want to miss the window of viability, if it is has one like other online console games have had.

Very long... I'm not near bored of the game. I've seen the breach/meltdown multiplayer maps many, many times now. However, I have yet to play about half of the smaller maps yet (and I've logged over 300 games, which I'd think would be ~50 hours, or so). I haven't played custom games outside of what I've done with GAF, yet.
Playing with GAF is alot of fun.
The SP changes enemy spawn points, adds weapons, etc. with multiple playthroughs/difficulties. It's one of the few games, that I feel, is worth more than one playthrough.

Lots of longevity/replay value. Tons.
If it weren't for Resistance, Blu-ray movies, and some of the downloadables, I'd be really down on PS3, considering I probably won't be buying another non-downloadable game until Motorstorm comes out (never was a big VF fan, and if I had it, I'd want to buy two sets of sticks...) As it stands, Resistance has been the perfect game to play while waiting for the PS3 software library to come around. Resistance is easily my most-played game on any platform right now, and has been all year.
The online community is changing in three big ways from what I've seen:
1. The Rise of the Clans: It seems most players belong to a clan now
2. Headsets are much more common. Thankfully, due in no small part to the proliferation of clans and so many "headset only" custom games on the servers, headset use is finally coming around. When I first started playing, if you had a 20-player team, four or five people would have headsets. It's much better now.
3. More competition. I'm running into a lot more good players and competitive clans with really good strategies than I did in the beginning. It will be a lot of fun when the next set of maps comes out to see what kinds of strategies emerge.
