Yeah CTF has to be in small maps. Kinda like in WoW's CTF where you can still see the enemy's base and there is a open battlefield in the middle lol.

Damn that cover is awesome, maybe they can do the wall-smash as the chimera melee move next time instead of just the rifle-smash?

You guys won against WaR last night??! Man, I missed it!!!! :(

We won the last round of a two round TDM against them, the first round we got pwn3d, so it was good that we kicked their asses in the second. That was very satisfying.

<another thing that RFoM did that [few] shooters have done is give you an actual reason to fight or hate the enemy. i mean other than following orders a la:

halo: orders from sarge
half-life: orders from g-man, scientific curiousity
gears of war: in exchange for freedom and reinstatement in the army so now its your job
rainbow six: its your job
ghost recon: its your job
fear: its your job
crackdown: its your job
killzone: its your job
doom: youre a marine, its your job
quake: uh, does this game have a story yet? =)

strangely enough, the only "shooter-ish" games i can think of where you're motivated by something other than orders are the GTA games and mercenaries.>


Hope they don't mind me quoting them. Obviously Hale is a soldier, but I think they mean the game/story manages to make you *feel* motivated to go out and beat the aliens yourself rather than simply following orders from the game or characters... anyone agree with that interpretation?

I only remember seeing one WaR person and I think the clan tag was actually WAR. Can't remember much more than that though.

Correct me if I am wrong....but don't you take orders from people in the single player campaign?

Never mind.


I understand what hes saying, its just you are taking orders the entire time and I personally feel like I Hale was doing it just because his heart leads him that way or some bullshit like that.

Just got my copy in the mail this morning and have started the first parts of the campaign, I'm astounded at how many poly's this game pushes, it's an absolutely sick level of detail. I might be in the minority but I generally take a fair amount of time to explore environments, you can actually see individual cigarette stubs and bottle caps, tin cans and stuff littered all about. It's crazy, and the image quality is amazing as well.

They usually don't sell this at stores and I'm not a subscriber. I guess there's no easy way for me to buy this single issue?

Clan roster: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p62Ro_nUUSfscF9g032W-Aw

For all the Noobs

TO JOIN:

1) LOGIN to Resistance MP online at least one time.

2) LEAVE any clan you are in right now.

3) PM kaching on NEOGAF to get added to the clan roster.

4) WAIT a couple days for him to get back to you.

5) In the meantime if you want to play with the clan, send one of the gaffers a buddy invite (please tell him you are from gaf) so he can get you invited to the party. ^_^


ResClan.gif

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

Tuesdays 6pm PST

Saturdays 6pm PST

Sundays 6pm PST

(Monday Jan 29th: Times adjusted slightly in favor of the ESTeemed)

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, make sure you've logged on to Resistance online at least once before) 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.

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.

A great addition
was made to http://www.myresistance.net on Monday Feb 5th in the form of leaderboards viewable straight from the site. It's time to get famous or die trying.

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).
 
I've been coming to this thread since it started and time and time again I feel like I have to get Resistance once I get my Euro PS3. From several impressions I've read it looks like it is not just a very good launch game but an overall good next gen game. I really, really hope I can get it with my PS3.

Something tells me we'll have enough people for 2 parties tonight.

Perhaps a password locked Custom game will be in order with GAF vs. GAF grudge matches? Does the party system work easily with custom games (I know you can create them, but can you join one)?

That was awsome tonight. I had 18 kills in a row....and then the round ended. So close to getting that 20 medal :(

I had a great time for my first clan meeting and I can't wait for the next one :lol

being a US Army Vet I find it hard to believe that a Master Chief Petty Officer taking orders from a Sgt. Ever.


i know what you meant though.

I like knocking the pool balls off tables and following them around the room. :)

When you get the game you'll need to login to the online MP first, so the Resistance network registers your PSN ID as a valid RFOM player. Then, send me a PM that includes your PSN ID and I can send you an invite.
