You have to speed run the bridge. Standing still for more than a few seconds is death... especially in Versus.

While that may hold true on Versus, if your whole team doesn't speedrun, you can become easy prey for a Hunter or any other immediate incapacitating Infected when off by yourself (if you get your whole team your become a bigger target). Also, it can be annoying when not speedrunning and having to deal with the tanks the running guy leaves behind.

[oohhboy]

Rochelle speed running the Bridge wasn't the issue, she wasn't speed running with the TEAM. There are no hero's in Verses, there is the team, whether you are playing infected for survivors. As infected, you can play it a little looser, but the survivors must have a plan and must be in agreement. If she had simply taken "point" and made the team  move faster by setting the pace while staying with the team, there isn't a problem. One person speed running like that is enough to get them kicked for tanking a game no matter how "heroic" their run might have been.

On the bridge it really doesn't matter too much what speed you're moving at as long as you're moving as a team. If the entire team can speed run it, more power to you. You have to balance out speed with mistakes, faster you move, more mistakes you make, harder it is to cover each other and more distance someone has to recover when someone needs a hand.

The only time I expect someone to speed run by themselves is when the rest of the team is L4D. Otherwise it's just greifing.

The more and longer that you play, the more you realize that this genre has really not moved forward, and maybe its been mined for all it's worth.

It has largely moved backward, if anything. Gameplay is slower than ever, the two weapons you're allowed to carry are little more than real world rehashes, health regenerates so that nothing is ever really accomplished or lost. The genre started to stagnate as it stopped catering to players with adequate skill.

Team Deathmatch or 1v1 is always better than FFA anyway.

This misguided focus on "realism" is killing the FPS genre. In my opinion, coming from more of a console background, we need a new game in the vein of Perfect Dark or TimeSplitters. Get some craziness in there; give me something that I could never do in real life.

Resistance 3 says "hello".

I had no idea that game was like that; you just made me somewhat interested in it.

Resistance is all about the crazy weapons as you run around shooting Chimera (which are essentially aliens) in 1950s America.  It sounds right up your alley.  It certainly was up mine in that same way.

Nice. Even though I use my PS3 every day for Netflix/streaming video from my computer/NHL games I haven't played a game on it in quite a while, so this sounds good.

Well, if you like Sony finally put up a Single-Player demo for Resistance 3 up on PSN this past week.  I don't know what part of the game it covers so I can't say if the demo is representative of the game or not, but since it's free there's no harm in trying it out if you're curious.

Really, I hope  it has 3D mode because I've thought about renting this game to try that all out.  That would save me 2 bucks.

I'm pretty sure there's a 3D display mode, as it's a 1st party Sony PS3 game and all the others did.

I know the Retail supports that and Move I believe.
