Play it on SD instead of HD, it might run better for you. Think that was Assualt shield that follows you. Reckon Leo means the bubble ones.

I'd rather have the Berserks myself. I know it takes more skill to get a string of kills, but I already have a game that does that. R2 had a combo of CoD's killstreaks and deathstreaks. Even if you were doing poorly kill-wise, if you just did some damage throughout you could still get a berserk that might turn things around. And even if it didn't, you could still have fun for a moment in the midst of a lousy game. If you landed some shots, that effort was eventually rewarded, taking some of the sting out of losing to lag too.

The video quality sucked on that one (I can only ever get a good quality vid from youtube and it wasn't on there yet), but I'm sure I saw the shields following the user. Frankly, I don't see how it would be any different than Ironheart. Except maybe that it gives your position away better.

2 key things for me here at the end.


This vid quality is pretty bad. Its a little difficult to really get a good impression of what it is you are really seeing.

I thought it looked like the shields were attatched to the weapons too. Especially in some of those down the sites views.
Almost like...any weapon can be like a wraith now.
But I wonder if that is one of the "Killstreaks" itself, and not so much something actually attached to every weapon normally.

idk. I dont wanna go jumping the gun again. But it looked like they took all the worse things from R2 for some reason, and focused on connecting it to the FoM gameplay.
idk......
scary times

I'll still be getting it.

It is a killstreak reward. The little box came up saying "3 kill streak! Press to activate Assault Shield. Like I said, it's more like Ironheart than the wraith.
I also noted the low costs on both Assault Shield and Cloak. 3 and 2 kill streaks respectively. Like they're looking to see as many berserks as possible per round.

I will say the map looks cool.
I liked the opposite buildings stuff I saw in there.
And that thing with the blobs of lava looked sweet. What a way to die.
No green dragon flames, but there was some kind of flame thrower so thats neat.


idk....Just have to wait and see. It depends on how the killstreaks are rewarded or bought or w/e. Who knows?
It makes sense to level the playing field in that aspect, but...idk.


The shileds:
After all the time playing R2 and being a fan of the Fom auger I still just dont and never understand the point of giving people shields of any kind in a game where the goal is to kill one another. Ask most gamers and they will want a throw down, one v one situation where the best gun walks away. Why interfere with that? If the map is designed with with good cover....well, thats all we should need.

There is no good cover from an Auger. Or a Bullseye once you're tagged for that matter.
When the guns don't obey the normal rules, then you have to let the players step outside them as well. That's something I loved about R2.

Looking again at the vid, it appears that the red glowy outline is some new form of Rage-vision and the smaller bubble shields would be the Assault shield mentioned before.. Does this mean the Auger shield is the huge round one now?

You'd only need two or three on your team and everyone could get inside and snipe for the whole match.

I think the killstreaks may have been lowered for the demo, similar to how they did the gun upgrades in the Campaign one, to show off the extras without having to build them all up for ages first.

the auger shield went back to the rectangle didnt it?
if you look at that gameplay vid that was put up recently they talk about the auger and you see the guy use it and its a rectangle. maybe its different in MP, but i saw bubble shields and assault shields. i dont think there were auger shields in that. also that chimeran sniper looked a lot like the focus rifle from reach

My main concern right now is....where is the regular deathmatches. I enjoy teaming up and all - but with FPS - my first gameplay type where I like to push myself is every man/woman for themself. I'm hoping they don't have it as TDM's only or I will definitely cry myself to sleep.

Oh they got to have them. Its a resistance staple the ffas.

I think they are just being real hesitant on talking about any modes after the whole meltdown fiasco of R2.
I could be off, but a tdm just seems the best way to showcase what the over all MP looks like.

GameTrailers has an interview, and I think the increase in shields may be due to the fact that there's no regenerating health.

Whether or not that's what IG is thinking is up in the air though.

Health regenerated. I'm pretty sure they mean no regen in SP, not MP.

I'm also hoping that those KS's were bumped down for the MP reveal & nothing more, as it would be much easier to showcase them. Like, the shield should at least be a 7 KS & the cloak a 5 KS or something. If they bumped it down, no worries.

Shields are dumb.

Amen to that... You never saw Captain Caveman with a shield, did you?

*Realises the complete lack of relevance*

Well, couldn't see any Wraiths, could you? Definite bonus.

No Wraiths......yet. They only showed 3 weapons on the wheel. I'm hoping though it stays away.

I dont know if I like the fact that everyone can have invis/then shield/ then something else depending on kill streaks. But to be fair, not everyone can get kill streaks I guess so they won't get any bonus action.....but that doesn't feel like Resistance. It feels like COD from what I saw of Black Ops when my friend brought it over here. I don't know how I feel about that. Time will tell I guess.

having a shield or invis is was less over powered then having helicoptors to mow down players, or attack dogs, or missle strikes. or insta win nukes

Word. That's where you & I first met each other, right? I think I sent hate mail cuz you tagged or 40mm-ed me. You were like,"Yeah, sorry about that. I don't usually do that". Beef squashed. LOL. Seems to me that you can get on just fine without FFA, Raist. You've played the sh*t out of UC2...

I LOVE FFA. (^_-)b

(Hence the no KZ3 purchase...)

Yeah dude our matches were always intense. You and Ratchet always pushed me hard. Good matches all the time whether I won or lost, mhmm. I think some of our first matches were in the Forest Stage.

I only played the hell out of UC 2 because it wasn't an FPS. Don't get me wrong I would have LOVED a FFA option in Uncharted. That would have been nuts. But because of its completely different mechanics thats why I kept going back to it. Plus the R2 scene couldn't keep me
in what with all of the wraith whores everywhere and low numbers in ranked games. (Aside from wraith whores).

I want to whoop on you some more in R3, Raist! LOL. j/p (*^_^*)

Never played against Ratchet. If I did, it was not memorable! BRING IT RATCHET!

Crikey, but doesn't that animation look about 1,000,000 times better than R2's multiplayer?

The ribbons were nice and big and in the middle of the screen too.

TBH....I think it looked about the same. Just not as saturated in the colors. The details in the maps seem to be ten times better though.
The people and chimera all looked kind of the same in movement and fluidity in movement to me though.


Could just be the vid.

i love the feel of the bullseye
not so much the carbine, which is weird for me.
the sniper looks dirty though!
im not so fond about the face that any class could get a shield.

that red thing looks sick!

Carbine RoF needs to be doubled at least. IMHO... What's the point of it being Full-auto if most people could out-shoot it's rate of fire if it was a single shot?

That's one thing I will be campaigning hard for in the beta... Return the Carbine to its status as the 'skill-gun' of Resistance, if I can get ten headshots before my enemy can tag me and get enough Bullseye ammo into me then I deserve to be able to T-bag their body afterwards.

I hope they bring the Magnum back.
I don't care for the gun itself, I just liked using the glowing bullets to make humans with chimera vision.
