well, after making atopic here bashing the online play of vegas 6 and being called a troll, i decided to rent resistance today.

gotta say the online was very impressive. i enjoyed the fact that i could see all of the rooms available, could see who was talking, and had 0 lag even in full 40 man rooms

great job by the resistance team

well after playing this game online throught the weekend, i have to admit that it is very hit or miss. when i get into a full room, it is pretty fun. the only problem is that it rarely happens.

i really dont like the open mic concept. its annoying to hear people coughing, talking on their phone, and crying to their mom because they dont want to eat dinner.

dont like the fact that the host can kick someone at a whim. i walked into 2 rooms, and before i could even select my weapons i got kicked.

why is it that if you join a respawn room in the middle of the game, you cant play that game? you have to wait until the end of the game to play. seriously annoying, if it was a single kill survival i could understand, but the whole point of respawn is to play until the game ends.

i also dont understand why my usb mic doesnt work, but thats probably my own fauly.

all in all, the online has great potential but it falls flat. maybe ill wait to get it used in a few months to see if its better

1) Sure randomly joining a server isnt the greatest, but you dont need to repeat yourself like 10 times

2) If the sessions have been ending for you then you either have a bad connection or its player hosted and they left

3) There isn't too many games i know that you can cancel during load screens but honestly is that really an issue???

4) I was in a 8v8 game all last night, over half the people had mics and 1 of them had a bad one, the rest it sounded like i was on the phone

Anyhow i played online last night for like 6 hours straight and i was having a blast, im very happy that i got this game and i only played 1 gametype all night lol, but i hope it does whatever you want it to do for you sometime soon, only thing i've experienced is you need to randomly join, and the session ended once when the host left

this is why i just read the forums here and never post. the troll comments are pure comedy. you cant have an honest critique without people calling you a troll.

1. its called examples to back up my point.

2. my connection is excellent. no lag on COD3, bf2 runs fine, and so does socom 2 and 3. how can you tell if a session is player hosted?

3. it is if you have to wait forever to load the game and then cancel it out again.

4. 8vs 8? the game only supports 14 players. who's making stuff up now?

i dont have a mic, so i can hear ppl through my tv speakers. i'd say 20 percent of the mics i heard sounded great, the rest either had bad delay or tons of interference.

i played one game online and the whole game shutdown and brought me to the XMB screen.

i did find 2 sessions that had about 12 ppl in it, and that was pretty fun. unfortunately ive spent a ton of time trying to track those 2 sessions down.

hopefully this game will get packed through the weekend, if not ill save the 60 bucks

im sorry to say but the online play just sucks. i mean it as potential, but it has too many issues.

1. you have to randomly join a server. why is it that way back in socom 1, i could view a server and it showed the game types and how many people are in it, yet in a "next gen" game i just randomly join a room? the first game was decent, it was 5 on 5 after that, it was 1 or 2 other people in the room.

2. once you get in a server, the session can end at any time. i waited in a room for 8 minutes, as soon as the round was over it made me join a new game.

3. you cant cancel the load map screen. i joined a game with one other guy and he started the game, i wanted to leave but i had to wait for everything to load before i could quit. again, you could cancel the load screen way back in socom 1, but cant on a next gen system.

4. most of the mics i heard sounded horrible. it either sounded like they were rubbing the speaker part on their couch, or they were in an echoey cave.

i want to like this game, i really do but im glad that i rented it. ill keep trying to see if i can get some better matches. right now its downright silly wasting 45 minutes just trying to find a decent match
