I am sure it's also unavailable in several European countries that have no access to the PSN Store. Insomniac should have found a way to make the Map Pack available to all Resistance FoM owners. Thank you Sony and Insomniac for making me feel cheated... I live in Greece and The Map Pack 1 is NOT available to buy here.

Thank you Sony and Insomniac for making me feel cheated…

When you switch, other people's aren't received by your console, and other consoles don't receive your position, this means that you can: - move around without being seen by others (warp) - shoot people more easily (they'll be moving in a straight line or standing still, as your console doesn't receive their actions) Then switch back on, the console resynchronizes, people die, and you appear at your warp destination for the other consoles. You just have to keep your switches short enough for them to look like normal lag. For pop and gun encounters, a good switcher has a guaranteed win. It all boils down to the tricks used by the devs to hide lag, which are easily exploited. There was much debate on these tricks a few years ago when someone proposed a zeroping mod for Unreal Tournament. The exploits above where well discussed back then, it's kinda sad to see that zeroping tricks were used on an AAA title...

I haven't played online much but I've seen that happen. i assumed it was lag so I gave up on it. Is it a type of cheating/mod? What do you mean switches?
