Afternoon all.
I picked up RotF for the PS3 today and also downloaded the map pack. Now I'm in the mood for some multiplayer Transformers goodness.
Anyone else here have it and if so what's you gamer tag? Mine's Sleeve21.

Gutsman Heavy
(or GutsmanHeavy)
I'll add you guys when I get home tonight.
I finished the Autobot campaign and started the Decepticon one, but haven't played single player since I starting playing mulitplayer. I love it. Until now the only online games I'd played were Mario Kart and Pokemon: Battle Revolution on the Wii.
I'm JetfireAUS
Tconvoy yo!
Fighty fight fight. I have found uneveness when I have ventured for online battles. Me vs 3 autobots aints fair!
I only just got this game too, and I like it so far... =o)
IGN is Jaisun, so feel free to add me or whatever it is (I'm new to PSN games), but please be gentle =oP
finally! a chance to win!Quote:

Did you get the downloadable content working, bartrim?
Too often I've been in a match and it's been me versus three others. After the match I have received emails saying thanks for sticking it out and not quitting because I'm getting my arse handed to me. Good sports. :p
Had a brilliant one-on-one ranked battle the other night. We were evenly matched, and out of three matches all of them were decided in the final seconds. Did an entire 20-minutes battle as G1 Prime vs G1 Megatron too. Helped get a couple of trophies.
Best I've had was when I was playing Deathmatch against some kids in England. How could I tell? Benefit of us all having headsets and I can hear their whinging down the line. "Oh, you killed me! That's not fair, we're on the same team!". Deathmatch, buddy. No teams. :cool:
No. I think Guts is onto something about the game being from overseas. I think I got it from England. Anyway I'm going down to the local video store and my friends who own it are lending me a copy to see if that is the problem. Hope that'll solve it.Quote:

And of course more G1 characters. :D
I have a headset. I've noticed a lot of crackle down the line, especially the first time I was in a match with someone else who had one and the sound was completely indistinguishable until the guy logged off and said 'I'm going now'. I wonder if it depends on internet connection and where in the world they are, because the kids in England I could hear fine.
I guess an obvious question here would be what times are you guys most likely to be on? Because it's nice to talk about war stories of others, but it's nicer to live it with them XD
Yeah I agree (once I get the dlc sorted) we should try and organise an online ozformers match. Although with time zones it could be a bit difficult.Quote:

I'm going to be pretty booked over the next week however so probably won't get much time to jump on. Have to go on five dates in five days. :p
I've been contemplating that too. I came to the conclusion that perhaps Sunday would be the day with most possible hits, but naturally to throw a spanner in the works, I work most Sundays...:rolleyes:
I am usually on after 6.30am- about 9am weekdays. Those are the times that I am free-est. Aside from that it depends on my work roster. Times are WA standard time.
You eaterners in DST yet, we should be able to make something up.
Yes we are in daylight savings now. Although no one told me and I lost an hour over the long weekend lol:p. I don't normally get a chance to get the PS3 active until after 8pm at night after my son goes to bed and most of my weekends are spent trying to finish off my house atm. but we are all intellegent humans I'm sure we can work something out.
Yay I got the dlc to work with a new copy of ROTF and the dlc works:D
I'm now ready to go online and get my ass handed to me by all you guys:p
Sweet! :DQuote:

Aparently a dude playing as Blackout killed me, but I had no rocket fire coming at me...:confused::confused:Quote:

Penalysing me coz I suck!:mad:
Yeah I totally agree I hate the red screen. Not only do I drive into walls when the screen goes red but I also do it normally anyway because the vehicles go too fast for my reflexes:o (guess I'm getting old)Quote:

Hehe we just got converted to the Playstation side as well after trading in our xbox360 and PSP for a PS3 over the weekend. I already have a gamertag which goes by the same forum nick I have, but I haven't had a chance to play online yet.. :P
Well I definitely suck. I had my first extensive go at multiplayer last night. I have 4 kills to my name, about 8 or 9 assists and I died more times then I care to count:o:p
Dont feel bad. I am in the same boat. Half the time I am on the other side of the map just having a little spin-out session at how cool it is to see battles happening on the other side of the map. If I get involved, invariably I die fairly quickly...Quote:

I'll do my best to jump on then.Quote:

Is that a common message for everyone? Even the other night when Jaisun was online I tried to join his game and couldn't. In the end I host my own but no one ever comes in, so Multiplayer has really been giving me the s***s lately.
A little off topic, has anyone used the Playstation Home thingy yet? I've been meaning to for a while but don't really have any idea what it actually does.
I had that cnt connect to all players message once. Never come across it before though. I just retried andmanaged to get the net game going.
The playstation home thingy? Is that the bit where you have to download a little programme and then can meet and chat online? If so then, yes I have used it. You can make an avatar of yourself and go around various locations chatting with other users. I just had a quick go wondering what it was all about. I actually remember downloading a "Female decepticon revenge t-shirt" tshirt or something from the PS storefor free and wondered what it was. Finally found out after I was muacking about with the avatar settings.
Would be handier to use had I a keyboard that works with PS3...
I'm generally free every second night the 27th being one of them... except I'm not free that night as I have made plans already with my brother:(Quote:

I swear I get that error at least 30 times in a row before being able to join a game, and when I finally do they're never full. Weird.Quote:

Awesome. I wonder if I will be able to set up a "friends only match" or something like that? Surely one should yeh?
There is an option to limit the session to private players. Must have to be invited to join.
Dang that was a bit of a fail. Wonder what was up with the connection shenanigans. Managed to have a bit of a bash with Just me and G1 Optimal, but just couldnt manage to connect with Sleeve and damn did I try!
Oh and apparently the words connect and joint are naughty words according to PSN.
I wonder if port forwarding is needed or if differing connection speed affect anything? I know that the Call of duty world at war reccomends port forwarding for its multiplayer. I only hve PF on for ahem *other* activities...
Sorry I couldn't join in last night. I'm looking forward having a contest with Tets as to who can die the most:p
ROFL!Quote:

I think it was Conne in the word Connect that PSN conciders naughty....Quote:
