Not as deep as he thinks
I'm having such a blast tonight. Thank you so much arne/Naughty Dog for allowing co-op arena users to choose skins! You don't know how much I've been waiting for this. It brings a lot of life to the game for me now being able to choose different heroes! It's awesome kicking ass with Sully. It may not be a big deal to a lot of the posters here, but it was a huge deal for me so thanks.
Also, I noticed that if a team mate is in need of a rescue and if the round ends, they're automatically healed. That's fucking awesome because sometimes when playing with randoms, that person who needs healing is across the map and if we don't make it on time, they die and are out of the next match. That's pretty cool! It tripped me out at first.

I've been playing multiplayer for a while but I'm still not very good and just generally find it a very frustrating experience. I can tell it'll be fun but I just can't get in to it. Any basic tips?

I think i'll play tonight. What's the issues with me joining up with the old regs as i won't be buying the DLC? Frozen out of the party due to matchmaking restrictions or what?
Never really experienced how it went down with the last maps, but i'm hoping it isn't the same as the 2nd class citizen experience GG decided to lay on those who don't pay for maps in Killzone 2.

Good to see some more life injected here!
With the new goods around, I'll have no choice but to meet you all online soon.
Tear me away from RE5 and SFIV. ;_;
Also, this needs another quote:
I'm 100% with this; The Dogs have far surpassed my expectations on how they were going to handle the MP component so long after the game's release.
Through arne, I can't recall a dev of a major title that has been this available to its user base. My hat is off to you.
As Oath put it, I will forever treasure my neck-snapping two second primetime spot in the Heroes trailer. :]

So, did they change the health system to where it's less bullshit "camp your spawn and don't fucking move into the map" and more "move into the fucking map, but your health is less than it was 1.04?"
Because frankly, I want fucking 1.04 back after the bullshit that was 1.05/1.06. I'm not buying the new DLC and haven't played the versus in months due to that bullshit and my purchase of the DLC and replaying the game hinges on this: CAN I NOW RUN THROUGH THE MAP AND NOT EXPECT ISLANDS OF PLAYERS CAMPING BECAUSE THE HEALTH SCREWED THE GAME UP?

Well it's a cover based shooter so you should really be using cover to move through the maps and not just running about in the open, right?
jett said:
ANY of the Versus content boils down to:
-Stay at your spawn
-Camp with the FAL
It basically changed the game for the worse. It's not being a drama queen if most everyone that has played agrees on it. The health system in 1.05/1.06 was horrible. Has 1.07 actually raised the health to where the game doesn't have islands of campers and actually tries to move people around?

When this this DLC coming?
I was made to feel like an idiot when WOWBagger implied it was out.. but I have searched and found no indication that it is out.
I know it's "today", but when is "today"?

The Euro stores are updated before the N.A. stores (this changes in May afaik : P).jett said:
N.A. stores are usually updated ~4 - 6 P.M. PDT. Usually you can purchase content before the storefront is updated by using the search button to search for it.DownLikeBCPowder said:

O well shit if you can name Gaffer you pretty much got the whole online community right there because GAF is always a great representation of anything gaming related right?
And yes I'm calling it bullshit, you make it sound like no one does anything but stand in the same place and wait for someone to come out in the open. Its not like that people still run around maps, and people still climb, besides the FAL got nerfed as did DTI. Do I think the game trash now because of the new health system, hell no. I can kind of understand why it happened, I mean in what game does it take 10 shots to kill anyone and headshots have never really been that accurate. The shotgunners/pistolle people were destroying people ( I was one of those people). I'm in the middle when it comes to how I feel about the change but at the end of the day I'm still having fun.
Note: i'm not really a plunder player, i'm really talking about the game from a deathmatch player point of view.

After playing more since the latest nerfs, I think deathmatch is fine. Almost bordering on awesome again. It's the OBJECTIVE modes like plunder that are still completely borked. Arguing otherwise is pretty silly, at least when playing with randoms. Luckily I usually only play deathmatch, so I've come back around to digging it.

If those are the only people worth playing with, then yeah, I'd say that represents the whole non-douchebag community. Sure, a few players don't mind playing alone, but when more social gamers abandon a game they played daily with their friends it definitely cuts into the playability of the game.
When you could get four completely full GAF-only games going on with a couple party of fives taking on randoms with everyone chatting about how much they love the game and then a week later everything changes and forces the people who've been playing since the beta away, you can be sure a ton of people are going to be extremely pissed.
A complete change in gameplay after several months of it being played a certain way is most definitely not a good thing. Save that shit for part 3.
JudgeN said:
When 60% of random games end up with both teams camping in either the spawns or BBQ houses with Situational Awareness on, what am I supposed to believe. I've always loved to run around and that has most definitely been hampered by the changes.
JudgeN said:
Not U2, that was for sure. I suppose some people could have been bothered by shotgunners/pistole users, but their was a counter to every tactic in the game. The balance has completely changed. I'd say the health change unbalanced the game dramatically and made the game less fun. There are now worthless strategies and overpowered ones. Sure, it still a decent game, but it's nowhere near as perfect and balanced as it used to be in my opinion.
That's basically all I can say on the matter.

we'll never know why they did that but the game was perfect, one of the greatest MP games I've ever played and definitely the most fun, lots of acrobatics and hilarious yet intense fights had me hooked every night until they changed everything for no apparent reason, at least I can't see where or when they explained their decisions? I guess as a company you're likely to make your game appealing to most gamers out there so you can sell more DLC and get everyone hyped for sequels... I also believe the "fun" factor was already appealing when they released the game, why killing it ?
dear friends at Naughty Dog, stop listening to your "fans" in the forums, even NeoGAF, stick to your vision, you're the professionals there. Have a look at MAG to see how following your "fans" advices could potentially lead to ruining the game just 3 months after launch.

Man I'd like to give those fans a smack.
Each patch post 1.05 has made the game slightly better than the mess it was when that launched. No one can deny the game was extremely unbalanced right after the health tweak--DTI/FAL was pretty much a win button. Since then they've nerfed both of those, and with the spawns mostly fixed, this is as good as the game can be with this current health system. Is it as good as it was? Hell no. Is it playable and fun? That's up to the user, but I think it is a solid mp game. I miss the game it used to be, and I'll never do another marathon 14-hour game session like I did back in the day, but I guess there's no use crying over split milk.

Because it wasn't perfect; lowering the health helped balance the game and to say otherwise is ignoring things like shotgun running, and the player population hasn't shrunk since the changes have been made, according to Arne. You might say 'I can't run around as much' but you still do tons of running, climbing, and jumping, if you aren't doing that it's your own playstyle not being up to snuff, not the fact that they've reduced health and reduced accuracy. On top of nerfing shotgun/pistol running they've also hugely improve grenades by reducing the radius.
The game is better balanced now than it was when it was supposedly perfect. There was a lot of unbalanced cheese prior to the updates.
