Resistance 2 CAG Clan/Night - Get yo ass on! - Friday Nights @ 7PM PST/10PM EST

For TDM, learn to use the L23 Fareye, Splicer, Magnum, and Carbine. Bottlenecks are good for easy pickings and always watch each others backs; going together as a mob will make things a lot easier. Wraith/Auger for small maps - With the Wraith, it's best to run and jump at your enemy and while in the air hit the fire button so you start spraying right as you come down.

With a Shotty, you can do a double-barrel then switch to Magnum to finish them off if they aren't dead yet.

For sniper problems, just rush em'. Make sure to walk/crouch til' you get near them, otherwise they'll know you're coming and will more than likely have a surprise waiting for you.

Hedgehogs rule. Air Fuels rule bottlenecks. Frags can ricochet before going off.

For Beserks I liked using Invisibility for most large maps, Ironheart for small ones, and prototype ammo for mid-sized battles (20-30 player total).

FYI, Ring Of Life can really kick ass too anywhere there are a lot of people in a small area like bottlenecks, a confined area, etc.. Just remember that when you deploy the ring it fills your health bar completely, so if possible wait until you're near death so you can get the upper hand right away since your enemy will have most likely used at least half of their clip.
Also, the ring does NOT move with you, so you will have to stay within the area you deployed it to make use of it. IMO it is much more effective than Ironheart since the regen rate is very fast AND you can "share" it with any teammates within the ring, the only cons being you are still succeptible to a one-hit kill from a Carbine grenade or any grenade for that matter and you can't move it.
 
Have someone as a sniper in the party for competitive! It just won't be me :(

Next week is the last one for Winter Session, so I'll be back soon!
 
I'll be on right now, but my headset won't be fully charged until later. Also, for you L4D loving guys, I really suggest looking up "Francis hates Left 4 Dead" on Youtube. Great song and a downloadable song too!

lol... =(

we got killed in those skirmishes. the chicago campsite hill is too tough against a well coordinated team to take over. skirmish really sucks because if you can't take a beacon, then it'll keep resetting to the beacon that you couldn't take in the first place. well, yos (yosno?) and I played a few more games after the group broke up. and the next one we creamed the next one.

shini has great tips. i use carabine + prototype amno. the prototype beserk gives you r2 amno and helps your teamates (or opponents) with r2 amno. And the area efect of increased projectile damage including teammates is really nice.

so if you want to be good fast, learn to be cheap with either the carabine, fareye, marksman or wraith.

for r2 (secondary fire), i also second shini's advice on the ring of life with group play.
 
I was VERY pleased with the excellent turnout. I wasn't pleased that this time the party decided to get shaky at times (where I had to re-invite everyone) and I wasn't able to get everyone into co-op matches (sorry). Regardless, I did have fun and thank you everyone for showing up. I definitely apologize for not getting everyone into co-op, but I'll definitely get everyone in one time or another.
 
I got a random disconnect on the Skirmish in Orick. Sorry about that guys! We didn't have the best of results but it was fun nonetheless. I didn't realize how much of a change the new patch brought for Medics until today (as well as how awesome moving Stalkers are). Looking forward to the next CAG night!

Skirmish can be a real PITA, so I never really play it, only for XP since that can rack up rather nicely and consistently.

Ring of life can actually make a 1 on 4 an equal playing field, unless one of em' has a 40mm.

Prototype ammo can really make any weapon that much more dangerous, it all just depends at what length you feel killing enemies at.
 
I really like Skirmish especially since they don't show how many times you die. Yeah i am for more competitive matches. Wotcher and I had some great skirmish matches and were destroying people.
 
I think the is something up with the party system because it is acting up again. People join me and party number goes up but they dont appear in party screen or follow into game. Just 1 issue I had tonight (endless seaching for match another).

Personally, I like it better that we do that now during CAG nights (mixing it up).
 
my cast comes off tomorrow =) that should make playing this among other games MUCH easier.

yesterday was my first foray into skirmish. sorta fun. hard to figure out exactly whats going on.
 
I tried to get on and saw Mana's invites, but the party was always full/I was already playing when a spot freed up.

So I occupied myself with a 60-player TDM. It was fun ;)

Yeah it was weird, Hone and I joined the party and we just sat there. I figured that maybe there was a game going on, but it sat there forever. Then I saw Hone drop out so I did too.
 
I always kind of liked Garfield Park until I played a team of all campers yesterday. I think I died 5 times without being shot. Some homo electirc orbs kept hitting me though. I've never been so pissed at this game. The whole team was camping in the corners of the map with marksmans.:roll: I immediatley put in GTA4 and starting manslaughtering people.

That map is tough without a good team and communication.
 
You'll run into situations like that; in those cases, you'll have to switch to Fareye and wipe em out, popping in and out of different hiding spots. Eventually they get restless and come out of hiding, and that's when you become the hunter :cool:

The ONE map I can never really do consistently well in is the map where you're in a Gorge or something, with those air vents that send you from one end to the other, then there's a spot past the broken helicopter that teams like to camp behind >.>

I always just grab a bullseye and hop on top of the middle region of the big rock. I just tag people as they fly up and drop down behind unsuspecting people before going back up top. Then I usually steal a carbine or a wraith since those weapons work pretty well on that map. Having said that, you have to have really flexible tactics on that map ;)

did you play to your weapon's advantage and not the their's? don't gather in the center, hug the walls to slowly hunt them down, etc? you can shoot the orbs and they burst. but i havent done this myself.

and i agree that if they're really good snipers, then theres little that you can do to close that phyiscal gap between them and you. san fransico can be nasty when you're playing against a good sniper team (bunch of fareyes!!!).

inf - i know exactly what youre talking about. i saw a bunch of marksmen peeping out. all it took was a 40. lol.
 
Maybe it's just my team, but I always find myself being the guy on the bottom. I can never hold the top because I just get overrun or sniped all the time >.>

Seriously, it's like: Bam, 1 guy down, 2 more fly in, take one out quick, other guy I barely beat, then another guy comes and it's like WTF is my team doing?!?
Then I look at the scoreboard and they're all in negative >.

thats funny. so did you use ranged or close weapons? i found that the ranged weapons don't work so well in the gorge(?)
 
inf - if you havent, you should play r2 again. the patch made coop fun with walking stalkers. plus, they got upgraded with homing missiles. lately, ive been playing skirmishes compared to the months at tdm. and i found that im having fun and getting more consistent kills than tdm. Who doesn't like the 60 man tdm where it lasts for less than five minutes with the top scorer with 10 kills?
 
I haven't played R2 for a little over a month. I jumped on once but that was before the patch came out. This week is the last week of Winter Session so I'll have more time to play soon, which means I'll hop back on R2, but once I get KZ2 in the mail, R2 is gonna have to take the backseat again ;)

[quote name='enufs8d']thats funny. so did you use ranged or close weapons? i found that the ranged weapons don't work so well in the gorge(?)[/quote]
I'm a ranged weapon type of guy, but if need be, I can handle people with a shotty or Wraith.
The Splicer has also grown on me, especially in the subway, but I've found it to work anywhere there are a group of enemies.
 
I can't stand TDM. Too many matches where it's me and random people against a clan who knows how to play. I think my K/D in TDM is something like .2.
 
If you want to rack up some kills via competitive, try playing TDM on small maps. Sure the dumb search thing doesn't work half the time (really.. 20 on 20 = small??) but the rounds last longer and you can get more kills once you get into 5v5 rounds.
 
To let eveyone know, I will be on again tonight playing, so if you want to play, get on at 9:30pm EST and I'll invite you to the party. First come, first serve.

Agreed, R2 is gonna take the backseat for a while. Killzone 2 is like daddy coming home.
 
[quote name='silks']Agreed, R2 is gonna take the backseat for a while. Killzone 2 is like daddy coming home.[/QUOTE]R2 is never taking a backseat. I plan to play both and have game nights for both (no doubt). While I like KZ2, R2 is more for me (I prefer sci-fi and having to take more hits to kill enemies, just how I am).
 
I'll probably only play R2 on game nights after I get KZ2, so I'll try to at least keep that up.

I feel bad for not hosting for about over 1 1/2 months already :/

I'd love to host, but I'm over-committed gaming-wise as it is. I couldn't guarantee I'd be there every week.

But I can host next time I'm in if needed...I have a good connection.

Thanks for taking over hosting duties, I'm just surprised there's no one else to help out, did most of the original people stop playing :whistle2:s?
 
[quote name='Inf^Shini']Thanks for taking over hosting duties, I'm just surprised there's no one else to help out, did most of the original people stop playing :whistle2:s?[/QUOTE]It was mostly you, I, Darknyss (since his stats were gone, he stopped playing), and sometimes Synical (hasn't been around much online) who ran the party. I don't mind leading since R2 IS my main online game and I'm far from done playing it online.
 
Well, I finally reached Level 30 for my Soldier. Right now I'm working on Medic, Spec Ops, and playing Comp to work my way up to Lieutenant (Level 30 overall).
 
[quote name='pete5883']I thought Lieutenant was 31?[/QUOTE]I dunno, it probably is.

Anyway, I have some really bad news to tell you all. While this is NOT 100% official, most likely I will have a job interview to go to on Thursday morning, so I'll have to go to bed quite early. Whether its phone or in-person, it will probably be in the morning and it's a big thing to me. I should still be there on Saturday.
 
Don't worry about it dude, missing an interview is huge in comparison to a game night ;)

Funny though, on Thursday I have my final, so I'll be busy Wednesday night too :p
 
That's not a big deal Mana. You should be glad you're finally getting an interview! I hope it goes well for you.
 
Our night will probably be cut short tonight, just to let everyone know. I dunno if there will be a good turnout due to the very late notice. Sorry everyone. I will get on at 9:30pm and play until 11pm. EST
