Oh-ho...Lousiana. One of the maps that Ill either dominate on...or just plain do terribly. I'm definitely up for it though. These matches are helping me with my Auger skills, and I hope they are helping you build up your Splicer skills as well.

Well they are mostly helping my vs auger skills. specifically bouncing them around the shield which I've had some issues with, though have gotten you with it a few times.

Also I am not that great at Lousiana with the splicer. its not a bad splicer map. just im not too good at it.

and I can just imagine how many times im going to get shot through the floor or ceiling by you

Anything that improves a certain skill is a plus in my books. These matches are helping me counter splicers, as well as utilize the Auger for complete stealth purposes. On some parts of Subway I was able to follow you around for a decent amount of time. That skill in a ranked game can prove to be very valuable to me.

I have noticed that more and more of your rounds are getting past my shields though. You have definitely improved in doing that.

I'll agree. You can use virtually every weapon on Louisiana, it's just sometimes it appears to be difficult to do so. And don't worry about getting shot through the floors and such, I always try to be on the same level as my target when I use my Auger. (Sometimes in emergency situations, though, I have to open fire at an odd angle. I'm not too accurate at that.)

yea, I noticed you started double shielding up. also I know a perfect way you can easily prevent me from getting them around, and I'd love telling you, but then i'd be at even more of a disadvantage.

also how often do you run into competent splicers? I only know of one other good splicer user that i met on my res

I did start double shielding. I was testing to see if it helped any, and to be honest, the results were a bit meager. Yeah, it helped repel a few splicer shots, but most that were going to get me didn't get affected by the shield. I did come up with an idea of double shielding that MAY be good on Subway. You see, the normal shield generally takes up most of the corridor in width, but it is still possible to splice over the shield. What if I jumped up, put a shield, and dropped back down and put a shield? This tower of shields could quite possibly stop quite a few more buzz blades.

As for finding a competent splicer user in ranked...er...Not often at all. Most people that use the splicer are newer players, and let us just say they aren't much of a threat. You're probably the first person that I've come across that actually is pretty good with the weapon, so kudos to that.

It still depends on the match to be honest. Some rounds are pretty good, others are just wraith fests. I don't mind it to be honest.

yup. jumping up should make it impossible for me to get it around it in most cases

thanks, though the main reason is because no one really takes the time to find out how good it is, Most people either consider it weak or cheap, so its mostly n00bs using it

Somewhat yes, but I have reason to back the thoughts now.

Ratchett you have some inside info me thinks

let's here how you back your thoughts

Well, you know how people say that the Pope has a direct line to God?

Well, if Resistance was a religion...

First off, Leo is absolutely right on the religion part... In all seriousness, though, here is my reasoning for the suspisions.

Insomniac Games has been making several twitter/facebook posts these past few days absolutely teasing their new game. Due to this increased activity, I am lead to believe that these nexts few days will hold an annoncement.

"Back in the office and just saw the final key art, trailer, and screens for our game reveal! Sooo exciting! Can't wait to show you!"

"You guys are totally awesome, weathering this very long dry-spell with no new info for months and months. We're getting closer now!"

"For those of you that want the news/trailer the instant we announce - here's a link for our newsletter sign-up:"


In addition, their latest newsletter containted this key sentence: "We’re really excited to finally reveal this project, and we couldn’t resist being the first to share the news with you."
Seems innocent enough, right? Well, look closer. The word "Resist" simply teases the possibility of Resistance 3.

Anyone else Remember Duke Nukem Forever?

I'd prefer not to remember it...I don't anticipate R3 being in development for THAT long.

No but the comments sound very very familiar.

M'kay, since everyone is all like RESISTANCE 3 OMG I got excited too, so I did a quick runthrough on FoM on Easy mode, just so I could get myself reaquainted with the story, then I played the very beginning and the very ending of Resistance 2 to get the gist on that, as well as all the cinema files. Ok, so let me say a few things.

The opening of Resistance 2 is the MOST plot-hole-filled thing I've ever seen.

So the end of FoM is July 14th, 1951. He gets picked up by SRPA, and flies off. Then the beginning of R2 replays that scene, followed by the next day, July 15th, 1951. They crashland in Iceland, and Blake gives Hale the magnum. Alright, simple enough. So I'm running along, and the FIRST chimera I see... wait, that chimera doesn't look anything like the ones back in England. It doesn't have the hoses on their back, and they are smaller and less beastish. Oh, so maybe Iceland chimeras are different than England chimeras, I can accept that. So I keep running along, then I pick up a Bullseye... why does it look so different? It doesn't have a different name or anything, it's the same gun, but it looks completely new! Within 1 day, the Bullseye was completely revamped and redistributed to Chimeran troops? And the Carbine as well! This M2A5 Folsom Carbine only has a 30 bullet clip, while the M2A5 Folsom Carbine from the previous day has a 50 bullet clip!

Insomniac, you must be more careful with Resistance 3, because plot-holes are not cool.




Oh, and FoM is epic

I wouldn't necessarily consider the smaller Hybrids plot holes. For all we know, the Chimeran army invading Iceland are from a different part of Europe. Considering the Chimera that took over England have been killed, we can assume that the invaders are not from Europe. Maybe these Chimera are from Germany or Spain? As for the new Bullseye, the same argument can be pulled. Perhaps the Chimeran invaders developed the new weapon in their original country?

The Carbine...well maybe SRPA are just a bunch of cheap jerkoffs that don't like their soldiers having a lot of ammo.

So the Iceland Chimera have advanced technology with their heating stacks, and the England chimera don't? Well that just doesn't seem fair

You see, the thing with the Bullseye is that it has the exact same name. I don't mind the new Bullseye style at all, and if it had changes applied to it over the 2 years between Iceland and San Francisco, I would've been fine with it. It's just that even if the Chimera in Iceland developed their own version of the Bullseye, could they've given it a different name? That's like if my M4 looked different than your M4, or my AK47 looked different than your AK47. It just doesn't make sense to me



Freakin SRPA, trying to cut down on ammo

Going along this line of logic, the England Chimera were big and brutish. They weren't smart enough to develop such advanced heating technology. The smaller invading Chimera were much more intelligent than their thugish counterparts in England, which was why they were able to develop more sophisticated heat stacks. Is my BS starting to make sense?

Again though, perhaps the new Bullseye just wasn't available to the Chimera in England. Just think, the Chimera are held up an an island nation. At the time of FoM, it didn't seem as if technology for transportation was stellar (They dropped Hybrids into battle via boxes for God's sake), so chances are they didn't recieve new technology from their comrades on the European mainland. The Chimera invaded Iceland 6 months or so after they invaded England, which may be why they had better weapons. Just look at how much bigger the Goliaths are in Iceland as compared to the ones in England.

Who can blame SRPA, though? They spent a crap load of money infecting soldiers and giving them pricey inhibitors. Plus...I've heard Malikov was a big spender in Vegas.

Your BS is starting to make sense... I just wish that maybe Insomniac explained it instead of leaving me in the dark

Freakin Malikov. The guy's a wild card. And whenever he says "You'll be glad to know the operation was a success", I always feel that is a direct line from a movie from another Russian scientist. I mean, everytime he says that, I have this Deja Vu of some movie I watched a while ago, but I can't think of the name. Maybe it was from the Simpsons, I have no idea.

Meh, I personally don't mind it as much...probably because I'm starting to like my own explanation that is so ridiculously out there that it just might be right.

Yeah, I heard he lost SRPA's Stage 10 inhibitors on a roulette game. What a joke of a scientist.
But in all seriousness, I liked Malikov. His continual attempts of saving the human race always seem to backfire. He creates the Cloven in Russia, brings the world Daedalus, and unwittingly gives the Chimera the tools they need to complete their mission on Earth. You just have to feel sorry for him. Too bad he isn't going to be in Resistance 3...

*attempts to remember why he isn't in Resistance 3*

Nah, he was a good guy. His Russian accent was catchy too. I found myself replying to him with a slight accent a few times.

Spoiler:

He was definitely a good guy, he just made several unfortunate mistakes in his attempts to be the savior of mankind. Admittedly, whenever I get to a certain line, I will mimic him and his accent. One thing I like about the Resistance series is the characters. Each and every one of them has some form of history, and the conflicts each face makes them feel human. Warner wishes to be with his wife and son but can't, Blake has the fate of America seemingly on his shoulders, and Hale must defeat the Chimera against all odds. Hale's sacrifice to help the world is truly admirable.

I agree with you about how every Character has their own background and emotional presence. Even though their characters might not be completely developed in the games, if you look beyond and read into the background, they all seem so human and likable. I think the only main character that can be put out of this category is Capelli. He's just an ex-convict who is very angry at everything and he's not shy about letting people know

I forgot about that Intel. There aren't going to be any characters at all in R3, everybody is dead now Hopefully Parker or Cartwright comes back somehow.
