Lag is gone today. Was playing alone with randoms. Weird !
Encountered another "Phucked Chain Reaction" mode.
Game started normally. Announcer told us to capture the objectives. Captured points took slightly longer to appear. I went into our objective room and there was no torch. All the objective icons were locked. Played it like TDM. The torches appeared at some point but I don't know when since I was long gone from the rooms.
The game never ended. When I left people were still raking up kills. Human again had like 4 billion+ points (I didn't really count the number of digits).
Also wanted to bring this to your attention in regards to feedback for Chain Reaction:
From the Beta Forum
I agree with this completely, as it is right now, Chain Reaction is more of a team deathmatch at times, instead of being a objective mode. I hope it is not too late to implement changes being about a week from release. Anyone else agree?

Today I realized I'm a pretty bad sniper.

Ha ha, it's actually pretty fun fighting against Gaffers too. Got in late in a game yesterday (?) and played against pwonager, Pikma, vMR_Xv, and someone else ( forgot who ! Was it you ? ).
Loudninja said:
True, but encouraging it with a kill/death limit sure doesn't help things much. I think domination type scoring makes way more sense, so does a time limit.
That's true, but this is more for competitive games with two goods teams trying to win, not every match is a steam role. I've played tons of matches where neither team captured all the beacons, so instead the team who killed the most won. Does not make sense in a objective mode.
patsu said:
Even with all that taken into consideration, you still think the scoring system makes sense? If anything, the fact it is judged by all those factors makes the scoring system sound worse imo.
It should use simple domination type scoring ala Cod domination and Killzone 2/3, why would you use kills and assists to help judge the winning team in a territory game?
Just thought of another thing in the beta that needs tweaking, the MAP VOTE function after a game ends and moves on to another match/level. I don't know how many times I've been stuck playing the same map because no one knew how to vote for the next one, or that is was even necessary.
I think you need to simplify it more, make it more noticeable and obvious, and automatically put a new map into rotation, so players who vote are stuck on the same map because the other players don't even realize you have to vote for the next map.

Wasn't yesterday, I didn't play any game yesterday.
Lastly:
ALERT
There are cheaters in the Beta now (what's wrong with those people, really?), or at least one, his PSN ID is ChrmedOne or something like that, me and pwonager ran into him and lost a match against his team (we were 5-6, they were 3-4) because he was a bullet sponge, we wasted whole clips on him, I wasted a full Atomizer charge on him, then used melee on him two times and it wasn't enough. He left after the match, of course. So if anyone see him up there on the leaderboard by a big margin, don't doubt he's cheating and report him, please.

Ha ha, me and my memory.
I also saw a dude walk in the air and another one drop behind a wall surrounding the Seaside map. Also met members from a few familiar RFOM clans. Glad to know we will be fighting them again. Very awesome teams.

Think it's kind of late for them to fix most of the visual stuff or add in any new animations.

I still saw a bunch of airwalkers over the weekend, and a couple lag switchers as well... Which reminds me, JStev, are you guys using Punkbusters or anyone else to monitor this or will it still be a "lag switch friendly" environment?
I ran into a couple fo the classic RFoM clans as well
[DDB] they still don't ever stop talking trash
[(X)] this clas really took off in R2, they are made up of alot of old [oNO] R1 players, no comment in regards to these guys, bit rivalry for specfic reasons....
[501] members, as well as some some of [FU2] R1 members.
In regards to [501] I played a lot with them over the weekend. Good times, good times indeed, lol ; ). Anyway would love to get into more games with GAF for fun. The membes I have on my FL don't play much of the beta right now, I'll be on this week on Tue. Fri and Sat. night. (11pm EST and later). if anyone wants to add me.
I'm still waiting for a lot of answers on the final MP build as well, especially with clan support and game modes. I hope to hear more soon, or we'll just have to wait the week until launch...
Countdown: Until Resistance 3 Release Date:, has 7 day 13 hour 2 min 2 sec.

STill debating to buy a sharpshooter and nav. controller to play it with MOVE. Any update to the move controls? Anyone think it's going to be worth it?
Sadly, I do not remember running into a large group of [420] in R1 or R2. Maybe [WAR], [/*\], [aND] [*_*], the ones I mentioned previously and a couple others that used to run in large groups and we went up against, I'll have to look up some old screen pics and see what I can find.

we will have countermeasures in the final game against lag switch folks.
also, there is a fix coming for skywalking players in 2.05. The server team is also working on getting the last couple lag things out of the way to improve performance, and we specifically moved the abilities/weapons we thought might be generating lag with the server into the beta with the level cap increase so that we could test/adjust/fix for final.

Hey jstevenson my wife bought me a 3D tv a few days ago and I know that R3 is going to have 3D support, but I cant find it in the beta. Are there any plans to add it to the beta before it is over? I cant wait to see how great this game looks in 3D.
Cornbread78 said:
The man has fallen out of love. Give him some time to recover. At least he didn't show up in jstevenson's den and cut up all his ties and shirts like my friend's gal did. ^_^
Edit:
Besides, I looked at the video and it's just a random capture of the game with Sharpshooter. Not really inspiring.
patsu said:
I have no doubt the Move/Nav controls will be great. They were just fine for Killzone 3. find them fine in MAG but it was an earlier attempt so there aren't as many options. I don't see how a Sony game could screw them up. That would be like Nintendo screwing up Wii motion controls in a game. Still using the sharpshooter to show off motion controls is the problem since it's such an awkward attachment to use. Same goes for the Wii Zapper in anything that isn't a rail shooter. Add to that, that those using it aren't very good at all. So it makes it seem like the pointer controls aren't good. At least that's the conclusions some will come to if they haven't use Move before I fear. There is a difference between using the sharpshooter to show off the controls which is slow, has players having trouble turning, looking around, shooting, and moving and having players quickly and accurately shooting at targets by simply holding the Move controller itself while running around, crouching, etc.

I played a good hour and a half this weekend. I love it. I did notice first thing the resolution seemed a bit low but once I was running around the map and seeing the texture detail and post processing it didn't really bother me.
Resistance 2, the players seemed to be floating around the maps, not alot of detail and the guns just had no impact...
THE GUNS!!! From the sounds to the size of them on the screen, everything seems more grounded and impactful.
I've always prefered killzone or battlefield/teamwork games to CoD or Halo. I think this is kind of best of both worlds. More on the halo side with gameplay.
I just hope there are enough maps on launch...

He won't answer specific questions, he's shifty like that. I've tried!
Pikma said:They did! it's just that we were too excited to listen to them.
Alos, There's a glitch with the Atomizer, sometimes when you reload, the "[ ] Reload" message stays until you change your weapon, I'm pretty sure it only happens with the Atomizer.
Excellent ! The more glitches in the Atomizer and the Mutator, the better for me. [sniggle]

Not all maps support all modes, of course.
We also have some good post-launch support planned - but we'll get into to that next week.
