I assume all of you are searching the specific mode you want to play? You're NEVER going to find a 60p deathmatch or core control in ranked R2. These modes are not designed for 60 players. TDM and Skirmish, you will, eventually.

If you are not choosing the match type you want before you "start matchmaking" you're rolling the dice at all available game modes and you're never going to get a 60p deathmatch or core control. The maps don't even offer that many players for these game modes. So, right off the bat, there is a 50% chance you WILL NOT have a chance at playing 60p.

I didn't expect to play 60p matches all the time, nor do I want too. But, if you played enough R:FoM you know that 40p matches were not the norm.

The "Competitive" options are pretty self-explanatory. Play is ranked, Find Game is custom, aka unranked, and create-a-game is...well, duh. It even tells you what each option is at the bottom of the competitive main menu (it scrolls along the bottom). If you want XP in unranked games then it has to be separate from ranked XP (as it was in R:FoM). Leveling up in unranked games at the same multiplier as ranked would not only be retarded, it would be taken advantage of.

Unranked games are so popular right now for a couple of reasons. One, people are having a horrible time finding a ranked game. And, when they do...they are often getting disco'd or their stats are not counting. Insomniac is having serious server issues and this is just another reason why you are not getting into big ranked games. Two, the game is not even 2 weeks old. Many people play unranked to get the "feel" of the game, weapons, maps, etc before they jump into ranked games.

I do agree with you 100% on round balancing. They added this feature with a patch to R:FoM and it made sure games would not start if teams were uneven, numbers wise. I have NO IDEA why they did not put this in right off the bat with R2. Inexcusable. I was so pumped for this game and logged thousands of hours on Fall of Man...but, R2, to this point has been a big letdown. View

How can we give this reviewer any credibility...he doesn't even know the weapons.

The reviewer states...
"As for the new toys, I particularly like the FarEye (a Chimeran assault rifle that blurts out a three-bullet statement and also fires a weird lightning-ball thing)"

Newsflash, jackass...the Fareye is NOT new, is NOT a Chimeran weapon. What you meant to say was Marksman. If you're going to review a game of this magnitude, at least get the sh1t right. View

If you're getting owned by the Wraith, then, you aren't very good. It is a tight quarters weapon and unless you're stuck in an extremely small area, it is very easy to maneuver around.

I will agree that I don't like the changes that they made to the aiming system but my accuracy numbers have not fallen off more than a % point or 2, and, that's without the time to get acquainted with the weapons. If I compare my numbers from where I was in the beginning of Fall of Man, to R2, my numbers are actually much higher in R2. That said, I am not a fan of the aiming reticle on most weapons, especially the carbine (my bread and butter).

The water does look thick, but, I still find it cool as hell and more reactive than just about any game I've played.

I don't know, you make some valid points, but, I feel your way off on the weapon balance issue. And, even if some weapons are unbalanced, Insomniac is well known for making swift changes to things like that after the game is released. They made a number of tweaks to weapons throughout Fall of Man, and, they will do the same with R2.

I will hold off on judging the final product when I can play on more maps and get a better feel of everything. View

This guy should not have gotten his code yet. He has only downloaded the beta, he has not played it, nor can he. The servers are not up yet, they will not be up until sometime tomorrow when Sony sends out the rest of the codes.

There are 2 people who have been confirmed to have received there code, that is it.

Everyone relax, you will get your email later today (if you pre-ordered thru GameStop).

All of this has been confirmed by administrators and developers on the myresistance.net forums. View

They did not get rid of the Hedgehog. I haven't seen any confirmation of the Reapers returning. The "scout semi-automatic sniper rifle" is called the Marksman.

I haven't heard anything new about the spider grenade since the first Gamepro magazine reveal. The description from it is as follows.

"Based on stolen Chimeran technology,the new Spider grenade vomits up a great glob of black ooze, which grows in an ever-expanding radius. The spider web-like tendrils grow up walls, across floors, and even into windows as they burn like napalm." View

This is bogus people, don't believe it. Insomniac developers have already said so on the Resistance forums. View

I recognize Kade's name from the first one, he was a beast and knows what he's talking about.

If you've played the beta you will notice a significant difference in gameplay from the first. At first I hated it, but, it grows on you after a while. They still have a ton of things to tweak before and I'm hopeful they will get the job done. Right now, it feels more like an alpha than a beta. View

It doesn't help it turn any faster by shooting. I'm in the private beta. You had to shoot the nodes in Fall of Man, but, these turn simply by standing close to it. View

There is no rule stating college players can't have there name on their jerseys (in real life). Hundreds of college put the players name on the back of the jersey. View

Dude, let's just say your numbers are right and it's 15.5 million PS3's sold. There is NO WAY in hell they sell 9.5 million units from August til November. There aren't too many bigger fans of Resistance than I am, but, 25 million consoles by then ain't happenin'. View

College players could not sue. They are amateur athletes and can not receive any financial compensation for their sport. View

College athletics are a completely different ballgame. They are amateur athletes and cannot (legally) receive any money for playing sports. View

It's already been CONFIRMED that pre-orders will get you into the beta. In fact, it's already been CONFIRMED that pre-ordering will be the first chance to get in. I don't know what the fuss is about... View

Yesterday was the first time it had been announcecd. View

Most of the stuff in the article is known, but, I hadn't read anything about upping the gore til seeing this. I hope they don't get too gorey, but, at the same time it needs to look realistic. I'm sure they'll get it right. Can't wait to pop someone's head off lol.

They are being tight lipped about a lot of stuff. View

I guess by tonight he meant some other night. :( View
