I HATE THE EFFIN "CATHEDRAL" STAGE IN RESISTANCE: FALL OF MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! Well, mostly the beginning of it. Ya see, they have these very annoying screeching little bastards called Leapers that attack in groups of 3 to 3,000,000. They're fairly easy to kill, most of the time, but in "The Cathedral" they swarm all over you and you don't have any room to get away from 'em because you have benches, racks and pillars in the way! I've played the game through on Normal & Hard and both times this stage was the hardest damn stage ever created! Now, going through on Superhuman (I'm trying to get a skull for a head in the online game which is kinda pointless because they're about to release the sequel pretty soon, but at least I'll have reached my peak on THIS one before the next), it's almost impossible! The most messed up thing about it is: after you kill all 3,000,000* of these little bastards, you have a coupla Steel Heads packin' augers (guns that can shoot through walls) who seem invincible! I actually hit one at point blank range with a 40mm grenade and it actually got right back up! It's taken me days to finally beat that part, but a few minutes ago, I DID IT and made it to a checkpoint so I ain't gotta do it again! But man, this stage sucks monkey butt! I really wish that lawsuit had went through so they woulda had to take the level outta the game!

This isn't as angry as my last post about this. I came on here a coupla hours ago and vented something fierce, (ya know, because I hadn't beaten it yet) but my STUPID sister flipped the switch on the wall and TURNED OFF MY COMPUTER! OH, I WAS SOOOO PISSED! I'm sure that some of you guys know how much I can type, and I was mighty angry at that stupid game and then my sister flips a switch on the wall "just because". JUST BECAUSE?! Maybe it was my anger at her that fueled my resolve to get past that part of the stage. However, I'm now at the part where I gotta take out 2 Howlers and these bastards don't go down with a coupla shots from a shotgun anymore!

*number may be an exaggeration. BUT IT SURE SEEMED LIKE 3,000,000!

I dunno that part isn't horrible you just gotta play it smart. Whenever I do it I sprint to the far back room and then spray at the oncoming ones and then when they get pull out the shotty which is hella effective at taking at multiple of them.

I'll admit my friend and I never got around to playing superhuman about the time we were gonna do that we decided Halo 3 was more fun.. (these things happen)... Plus for some reason in co-op they don't let you have the dual pistol reaper gun things.. which is annoying

Oh, you CAN'T go into that back room in Superhuman! The second you have to reload, they jump all over you and it's all over! The shotgun is waaaaay too slow! The carbine was the best weapon at this point. I found that I had to force them into a bottleneck by fighting them between the pews and tossing grenades at the point where they got all bunched together in the corners. (This didn't work everytime, but it did more than it didn't.) The most awful thing about it was that when I beat that part of the stage on the lower settings, I was able to make it to the next checkpoint, but on Superhuman they make the steel heads so frickin' strong! I had beat those bastard leapers 5 times outta a hundred and 5 freakin' times those jerk @ss steel heads sent me back to the beginning! But I'm through it now. I really didn't have a problem with the next few stages before I quit for the night. In fact, having to take out the Stalker was actually quite easy compared to "The Cathedral". That stupid cathedral stage!

I'm not a big-time gamer, so I expected a few people to jump up and say sumpthin' like "Oh, that stage isn't that bad!" I'm actually shocked I've done as good as I have! My hand-eye coordnation isn't all that great and my reaction times are a bit slow. I'm also the type of guy who goes running in like Galahad, but I've learned that with THIS game, ya can't do that! Those bastards will get ya EVERYTIME!

I've played a little bit of Halo, but I HATE the X-Box controller and I always ended up dead a whole lot more than my boy. My mind has been programmed to use a Playstation controller (probably because it has a similar button layout to the Super Nintendo). It just fits my hands so well.

Ah I dunno to me the hardest part of Resistance is the room where you have to fight the 8 stalkers that break out of the glass tubes.

I've found that the bullseye is their real weakness. They don't even make it close enough to swipe at me when I'm blasting away with that.

I wish that these god damn locusts would hurry up and die!!

I mean seriously, I live in Appalachia, completely surrounded by forests and the never-ending ear-piercing hum of these God-forsaken insects are ruining my summer! I can't even hear myself think! My dogs won't quit eating them! They are flying in my windows! They are freakin' everywhere!!!
