Who else is playing Resistance online? Anyone?

I'm just now getting into the game, though I've had it for well over a month. I like how it uses the party system for organizing your friends, I wish the 360 online shooters would do that for ranked games. I'm still learning the maps and weapons, but overall I'm having a blast. Anyone up for some ranked games online?

I'm still playing Resistance to this day, and I bought the game at launch in Japan last November :loco:

I would play you but I think the online is based on your region/account country.

In 1P I'm on my 4th run through, this time on extreme difficutly. The attention to detail is awesome, and the AI of most of the enemies is so well done that it makes for some superb battles. I have two remaining secret docs to find. After that, maybe I'll try and figure out some of the cryptic skill point tasks.

For online, the game is just incredibly difficult to quit playing. That is partly why I don't play online quite as much as I used to, although I was online with it last night.

I love the game. This and Motorstorm are all I play on the PS3. Capture the Flag in Somerset is awesome to say the least. Also don't forget to play some unranked games like 1 hit Deathmatch using only shotguns in the Busyard or Lexington...

I was reading something interesting, Insomniac may be opening up the regions on the game for the European PS3 launch. Maybe we'll get to play with hanafuda after all. I've been putting in a couple of days a week and enjoying it. I usually play 6-8 games before I go do something else and I'm ranking up fairly quickly.

There are also screenshots up of the two new maps at IGN. I'll link to it later if I can find it.

Yeah, I'm definitely up for some online play with you guys. I was online a couple of days ago and had a blast. Some days I am not 'on form', but others I am. That was a good day. If they did open up the online regions it would be a lot of fun.

Once I get into an online session, it is usually only the dinner bell that can stop me from playing..

I heard something about the new downloadable content, but don't have the detail. Can you explain further please? Two new maps, or is there more to it?

It's just two maps at this point.

There was a patch released today with some nice fixes including a team balancing feature. It should have been there from the beginning, but at least IG did fix it. There were also two new game modes added, Team Assault and Team Conversion.

Thanks.

The patches seem to be delayed in Japan, so you get them first. I didn't have time to fire it up tonight, but I'll check tomorrow.

Is there an estimated release date for the new maps?

Check out the details here.

Looks like we're still a couple of months off.

Thanks for the read. I'll be sure to give you a shout when they open up worldwide multiplayer.

The new maps sound promising too.

As for that Assault game mode they mention, it sounds just like the Breach mode we have in Japan. Did the US get different mulitplayer modes compared with Japan? :conf:

On the JPN version it tells you what the patches do at the screen where you have to accept the play terms and conditions before starting up multiplayer. The screen that also tells you when the scheduled maintenance is. Don't know if you get that or not, but that is where the info is.

Normally the patches address balance issues and such. Strength of guns, recovery time etc.

They do maintenance pretty frequently. Most during late morning time I think.

I was playing for a good while tonight and there was no maintenance going on. To be honest, I never bother to check when they are doing maintenance..
