I dont understand why some people are getting two and three codes and I have yet to receive a thing. I bought a Qore subscription about a day before the beta began, then I spent three bucks or whatever on the August episode and I havnt received a thing. What bullshit is this?
Qore subscription email went out several days ago. Qore episode owners will be getting one end of the week I think. You should definitely call the Sony support number in RobertR1's post.
Some people get multiple codes because they have several accounts on gaming sites (One guy in GAF has 10 on one site alone).
EDIT: I am still trying to get more, but have failed twice already.

Well, if I could get into the game more often, I might have noticed
I really like how the Chimeras will charge into our positions now. A successful attempt would disrupt our attack, and freak everyone out. While we were distracted, some loose Chimeras would appear right behind me for the kill. It might be a coincidence (happened 2 times now) but if Insomniac can orchestrate more of these formation attack, co-op would be heaven.

I haven't managed to get into any ranked games or cooperative matches yet, but plenty of large-scale competitive now though, and I'm starting to get used to the game. I still panick occasionally when I'm cornered or let myself be surprised from behind, but I'm definitely getting my fair share of kills in, and also adding some rare voice-comms to the crowd thanks to the PS Eye (I look forward on meeting someone from the forum here sometime so I can get some feedback on the quality - so far playing with headphones and PS Eye works great).
It's a pretty impressive game, what with so many people running around and everything being so responsive and precise. The sniper rifle is a very important weapon though - but if you're smart, you can do a lot of things with a lot of weapons. I've specialised in the Sniper and the exploding bulltings thing that can put some fire down whereever you like, which is really useful in some maps. Carrabine doesn't really feel broken. It's still powerful. If it was more powerful before, then I'm thinking it was probably overpowered!
Takes a fair while to specialise in a weapon though. The Berserks are also fun. The experience points really are good feedback for how many hits you've done.
Initially I did a small bit of coop by myself offline, which is impossible, but I did get to witness a Titan's weakness, as I managed to kill him eventually all by myself, netting a cool 3000 experience points in the process. His weakness right now is that he seems to turn around at semi-fixed points in times to cover different ground. When you're alone or all on one side of him, that looks a bit silly. You can then hide at a proper spot where you can shoot but are still protected from his blasts and as a spec-op give yourself constant new ammo. It seems that he has weakspots on his back, particularly to round metal plates that seem to net bigger hits (14xp per shot?).

Titans are still too boring to fight against. I have faith in Insomniac though. Look forward to being chased by one.
Hybrids and the regular Chimeras are a delight to fight. They have evolved so far that I can no longer rely on my shack trick in the hills. Now they will storm into my little hut, and the Steelheads will shoot profusely to flush me out too. Just got slaughtered by 5 Chimeras this way. Need a better strategy. [size=-2]Help![/size]
EDIT: They fixed match making. I can get into a game very quickly now.
Thanks Patsu! Very much appreciated!
I'm usually online with my US account anyway, but was under the impression that keys were locked to IP-ranges from that country? Damn, I should have tryed harder to get hold of a US beta key in that case....
My registration at GAF btw is still pending. Second attempt within 2 years for me... maybe I'm more lucky this time, I'm hearing it's quite difficult to be accepted as they get so many registrations...
Check your PM Phil.
I'll make a note to add you then! Thanks!
PS: If you're not too busy playing R2, I'm sure I'll be online sometime this weekend for some RFOM.
Cheers Phil

I must have received a code too, then. Can't check my inbox in office, I will chk it out once I am home.
@patsu: The Chimera flanking us from the side and behind happened twice to our group too. I thought they spawned there, am not sure if they moved there to flank. Though, I was too busy to notice if they moved or originated behind me, but it did make my team panic and fall back !

I would agree about the Titans, it'd be cool if they had a big hammer/mace in one hand and a gun in the other. They could then do rampages where they charge smashing soldiers with the hammer/mace and then after a certain distance do 360 spray.

Not sure. I caught 2-3 sneaky ones in the middle of flanking us. If you play as medic, you should be able to see them because you'd be behind your own troop as well.
In the first valley, what they did was to send 1-2 soldiers to the edge of the valley and wait there (?). If you did not clear the area, the remaining Chimera(s) will shoot you from behind while you tackle the Titan's company down in the second valley. This only happened to me once (very recently).
Sometimes, they charged straight into our positions to eradicate us. The soldiers above would walk past (behind) us quietly. At least when I saw them, they didn't shoot at my comrades in front. Instead, two of them separately were heading past the choke point, towards the edge/houses.
Either way, it mixes up the gameplay quiet a bit (scripted ?). That's where all the fun starts.
The other area is the incubation/breeding center (?). The grims were everywhere; might be spawned or just scattered throughout the level.
At that size, even if it doesn't carry a weapon, it should be able to dominate the fight. Its punch is a one-hit kill. They only need to increase its movement to a frightening speed (so it moves like a gorilla), and we'd all be dead. There are a few small hallways by the side it cannot get to though.
I think they may take a hit because of the MP betas. There are rough edges we don't see in a polished game. Besides the scope/scale and co-op, the saving grace is Insomniac's willingness to listen to its fans, and their update speed. They have evolved a lot since the private beta.

It never worked for me.The "Play" option didn't work at first. Then it was working. Now it doesn't work anymore

I usually try it about every other day. I can use the "find game" option and be in a room in just a few seconds (unless full).
Depends if Sony has told them to give it a good mark or not, isn't that the problem with all "official" magazines.
I'm sure it's a good game mind you, Insomniac don't make stinkers.
