Easter Egg found in Co-Op :p

425_33ogoit.jpg

You know, Easter Eggs are always fun little secrets to seek out -- such as this one from Resistance 2, which candidly gives a shout out to Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4. Reader Jay stumbled upon this "MGS4PWNS" sign in co-op mode. It looks the like ladies and gents at Insomniac have enjoyed MGS4 quite a bit. And why not? It's great.

To see the EE for yourself, then just check out the Spec Op's ammo crate after "prototype ammo berserk" has been activated. We haven't tried this ourselves yet this weekend, but we're sure we'll run into it sometime. So how about you? Have you found anything interesting in your gaming sessions this weekend?

Just got this in the mail! :D

Videogameplus is great!

Fast delivery, plus they marked the package value down to $20 to avoid tax.

I ordered it on the 3rd, got it today, the 10th.

Hope Socom gets here soon with my headset so I can do co-op!

Their servers are still having problems. They were down for about two hours today. I don't know if they still are but they really need to get on this. It kinda sucks that three new games that have come out are having server issues. LBP and SOCOM being the others.

Sounds like I need to stay well clear of it then :laugh:

Yeah, you do that. I don't wanna be hearing no "I hate this game!!", "I hate this map!!" nonsense again :p

Umm, is there a problem with the experience cause apparently I didn't get any for that last match :s?

Must just be me that sucks ass at console FPS games then.

Highest I've scored is 14 or 15th I think :laugh:

Still waiting on my god damn Socom bundle with headset (for voice chat), but I'll play some R2 at the weekend. I really want to do Co-Op campaign with other people on Neowin, preferably 8 of us if we can. Co-Op will be crap if you don't have a headset though.

Ordering with movietyme was a mistake, I'm doing all imports through videogameplus in the future, they got R2 to me in a week. I ordered Socom on the 8th of November.

I think EXP only works through ranked matchmaking MP/SP and Co-Op campaign.

If you "find a game" and select it yourself I don't think you get EXP as those games can have custom rules. Think you need to select play instead.

However I'm not quite sure, I haven't been paying much attention to my EXP.

Messing around with the controls now, I really hate the default ones (same goes for RFOM's).

So far I have..

L2: Zoom

R2: Primary fire

L1: Reload

R1: Alt fire

L3: Sprint/crouch

R3: Melee

Triangle: Weapon select

Circle: Grenade

X: Jump

And I'm definitely in for some co-op too (Y)

@AB, yeah I looked through the stats menu and realised I must have played a custom/player match. My kill death ratio is already 1.5 :D

Doesn't sound good about you preorder! Especially with all the build up to Thanks Giving / Holiday mail they would have had. Have you not got a tracking number? Or contacted them?

Gonna try that control setup.

Ahh nah the orders fine, it shipped on like the 10th I think. Postage does say 7-21 days.

Videogameplus also said 7-21 days, but as I said my R2 got here in 7 days.

I knew I was gonna have to wait at least 7, but waiting near 21 is harsh after getting R2 imported so quickly.

If it's not here by Monday/Tuesday next week I'll phone them as that will be 21 days up.

been playing co-op non-stop the past week since beating the campaign. i blew off playing cod:waw with my friends last night to play this...i think i'm addicted.

Awesome!

Well I know me, you, DM and DL now own R2 and can play Co-Op.

I'm sure others on NW have it as well.

Won't be long before Corris probably has it due to trophies :rofl:

Due to all of us being in wacky time zones, weekend 8 player Co-Op will probably be best (Y)

Are there any plans for a demo in a foreseeable future?

I would think so, RFOM had a demo iirc.

It plays pretty much the same online, its just a lot of improvements to the match making and menus etc. They've changed the ranking system also. Not sure if they added any new game modes or not. All I'm really interested in is TDM personally.

^@ Nightz/AB, Phee got the game today too. I'm sure he'll play MP or co-op with us. Corris said he had to wait until Xmas for his copy iirc.

Dam right I would. :p

But I have really run out of money, unless some suddenly appears you will have to wait till Xmas to be lucky enough to have my presence. :p

Animal Crossing taught me that if you bury money in the ground with a golden shovel, there's a chance a money tree will grow :o

Try that!

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
