Daft Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I don't really like the style and the feel. I'll give it more time though.
flameboy Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Compared to the first one I love the feel of it. Its just familar enough but with its own tone and feel to make it different. I think the multiplayer is leagues above the original as well...
Cookyman Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Phew just played an online co-op game with 7 others and it was amazing - I was special ops so had sniper rifle and we fought our way through an incredible ammount of chimera - must have taken about 30 minutes and finished off with us all blasting away at a tank robot thing! We made it and I got 19,000 experience points which levelled my character up 1 and a half levels which unlocked the bullseye. Absolutely amazing fun - I can't wait for the full retail version! Oh a word of warning get a headest you'll need it to call for a medic! - you really need to work as a team to make it.

Oh a word of warning get a headest you'll need it to call for a medic! - you really need to work as a team to make it. Yeah I agree about the team thing that first game we had where we all went in guns blazing was fun but we made hardwork of it. I also think in things like team deathmatch it pays to work together and stick together. I feel a N-E party sticking together and going into games and sticking by each other and showing how its done... Sorry I didn't come back, decided to have a quick bash of Bioshock and then wanted to watch Heroes.
dwarf Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 Oi Cooky how come we couldn't get a game sorted? Strange, I don't have a clue when it comes to the reasoning behind Resistance's online mode.
Cookyman Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 yeah we had some problems there and then when we finally got together and started they game you disappeared - was a shame too because that was the game I described earlier!
Daft Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I'll see if I can join you lot next time you are playing. Sounds fun.
Cookyman Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Going on at about 11 if anyone wants to join in
Daft Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I'll more likely be on in the weekend. I'm too tired from work and uni...
flameboy Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah I'll likely next be back on at the weekend. Once I have completed Bioshock will be on it loads more though..
dwarf Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Anyone think there are a couple of unbalanced weapons in the demo. The shotty is nowhere near powerful enough to be in the game. It takes more than 3 shots from close range to kill someone so its pretty much pointless. Same thing with the splicer, barely kills, more of an assist weapon. I like the new Wraith, well powered, the Marksman is good but takes slightly to long to kill someone. The Bellock is just crap, not really sure why it's in there. Probably be more useful in the campaign. I am yet to kill with the pistol...
flameboy Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah agree about the shotgun is really not powerful enough. even head shots with it don't kill out right...which isn't right...but perhaps thats to give slower players a chance cos one thing about the original was that it was uber hard against high end players using shotguns...
Choze Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Graphics are amazing now though. Its a strong package all round and this is still beta. Abit more shadowing is all I would ask for. Seems like they weakened every weapon since the last beta. Could be leveling up is required? Lets see how the beta progresses. Could be Insomniac overreacted to previous complaints about some weapons being overpowered? I have to admit I was one of the many people who suggested to nerf and change stuff :/ Lets play some more and see. I am intrigued by leveling up since it seems like an integral part of the game. In Killzone 2 you start off as a plain soldier and have to unlock abilities and classes through leveling up and objective/kill targets. Leveling up plays a huge part.
dwarf Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Of the 4 Beserks you're given, Iron Heart is the most useful, but the Electro-static orb things are pretty cool. Im finding the Bullseye is the most effective weapon for me in San Francisco, won a couple of games with it. I don't find myself using the L1 aim all that much, does it help?
Daft Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Anyone fancy some online today? Flameboy and I are planning to have a session...sometime.
dwarf Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Yeah later, I have a football match so will be out for most of the afternoon, but will do later (if I get to grips with how to join parties and ACTUALLY join a game that is).
Daft Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Haha! No problem. I'll be watching the Chelsea match and flameboy will be watching the football as well so it looks like a late afternoon session which is good.
dwarf Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Cool, do you not enjoy playing the game as well as watching? I think Chelsea will succumb to the *cough*brilliance*cough* of Liverpool today. I hope anyway. What is your weapon of choice in the beta Daft?
flameboy Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Anyone fancy some online today? Flameboy and I are planning to have a session...sometime. Yeah defo still up for that, think Choze is gonna try and join us... Haha! No problem. I'll be watching the Chelsea match and flameboy will be watching the football as well so it looks like a late afternoon session which is good. Yeah will be watching that match and may try and find a decent stream to watch Redknapp-less Pompey play Fulham at 5 (on late cos of the Southsea Flower Show!) Cool, do you not enjoy playing the game as well as watching? I think Chelsea will succumb to the *cough*brilliance*cough* of Liverpool today. I hope anyway. What is your weapon of choice in the beta Daft? Just to jump in on this my weapon of choice is the bullseye, had a stormer of a game with it earlier... How does XP work on this? I've just had a few awesome games in competitive but yet won no XP for it when the results are shown at the end. However in co-op am collecting XP...strange. I love skirmish mode... When we get on later should try and stick together and get in a squad, cookyman might be on as well, whose got headsets?

I hope anyway. What is your weapon of choice in the beta Daft? Played loads at school. At uni a lot less so. I played the beta for about 10 minutes and had no idea what I was doing so I have no idea about the weapons tbh.
flameboy Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Daft you goin straight on after footie? I've gotta pop to post box but then will be on everyone...
