Resistance 2 - The Official Thread - New Integration With PSP Resistance! (Page 5)

Co-ops Multipalyer's only down like in most PS3 games are the people who can obtain the hardware but not a $20 headset

 

[Jeremy Ricci]

Well, even then, you don't really need a headset. Each class has specific icons that pop up on the HUD to notify you that other players are in need of your assistance. I know people who do have headsets and are far less co-operative and what not than those without. It's just all on the player and how willing they are to do their class.

Exactly. I have to admire how well the co-op works. Even when you don't have a headset, its very easy to tell when someone needs your assistance. Insomniac really thought of everything. And its the little details that make it work so seamlessly.

So I finish Campaign mode. Medium difficulity, 8 hours and 18 minutes.. Not as long as first game, but this game has another campaign to play online. So it's good main story is short, in a way.. well no complains

So, I unlock ARCADE mode.. What is it? can anyone explain?

 

[Pako]

None taken, lol. I look like an average sports jokey type guy.

I'm working on playing through R2 on Difficult now, then later on Super Human. I mix it up a little with some competitive and co-op, but the servers have been getting hammered lately. My KDR is like 1.9 I think in Competitive

Yeah thats what I was thinking, that or a marine. In either case, not always the smartest type of guy haha. But the servers have been okay for me, except when I try to play co-op with my friends. Every time we party up, it kicks them out of my party, and vice versa when they are the party host. BUT, on competitive, my KDR is over 2.0, but thats only because Ive only played a few games, and I happened to do really well in them.
I'm only level 3.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Well I just beat the campaign. Took me 8 hours and 8 minutes. I played it on normal difficulty, but it really felt like it took longer than that. Pretty good campaign in my opinion.

My favorite part:

Spoiler

When you get into Chicago, and all those grim are running at you, when you first use the Splicer. The dismemberment and blood splatter among such a great setting. It was just epic.

I'm actually in the Army

I figured it was something like that.

I did not realize that until after i wrote it. Now that makes the co op even more awesome. I have not gotten far in campaign mode, just been playing online co op. leveling up in competitive mode seems a lot more tedious than the first game. Still liking it. not one trophy yet

 

[JamboGT]

Hey all, I don't know iof many of you realise but Resistance 2 was only released in the UK yesterday, (Friday) and I am loving it.

Provides one of the best online games I have played.

Yes it is not the prettiest game of all time but it is huge in scale and in ambition.

The online co op is very good (if people know what they are doing! Buy more headsets people!) and the 60 player battles are epic.

If anyone is playing or wishes to play online add me JamboGT,

Me and a friend have a clan going as well so if you want to join let me know, we are set up as a casual clan and are playing for fun!

Huge update (305 MB!!)

Resistance 2 DLC and Patch 1.50 Available for Download on March 26

Posted by Bryan Intihar // Community Manager, Insomniac Games

Game on! Tomorrow (March 26) we’ll be bringing you a host of downloadable content for Resistance 2, plus another patch that helps improve the online experience even further (and includes several requests that came from…well, you!). So let’s get right down to it, shall we?

The DLC comes in two forms: new competitive multiplayer maps and character skins. The Aftermath Map Pack features three new battlefields, two set in Twin Falls (Aftermath and Pit Stop) and another in Orick (Outpost). All of the maps support 20-player Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, while Outpost also lets you play 20-player Core Control. The Aftermath Map Pack will be available for download through the PlayStation Store for $5.99.

We also have six new competitive multiplayer character skins. In addition to our usual band of brothers (of the human, Cloven, and Chimeran variety), we even have two selections for our female R2 players. You can download the following skins through the PlayStation Store for $0.99 each: Rachael Parker, Female Soldier, Ravager, Cloven (Retribution model), Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation.

Then we have patch 1.50, or what some on the MyResistance.net forums have been calling the “the big patch.” And it definitely lives up to that nickname—it’s quite substantial. Once you install the patch (the download prompt will come up automatically once you start R2), you’ll now be treated to:

Meltdown Mode: We’ve read the message-board comments. We’ve seen the online petition. You want it? You got it! Patch 1.50 brings back Meltdown, the popular Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer mode in which each team attempts to gain control of the map by capturing beacons.

Superhuman Co-op Mode: Does your eight-man Specter squad possess the skills to survive this all-new difficulty? It features stronger enemies and disables auto-respawning (only another squadmate can revive you), but dishes out bigger rewards (double the Grey Tech and XP per round).

Second PSN Login Support: Your fellow couch potato can now save their character’s multiplayer progress, thanks to the added option to log in with two unique PSN accounts.


But that’s really just the beginning of patch 1.50’s offerings:

* XP balance adjustments for competitive mode
* Announcements screen
* Failsafe save support
* Password protected custom games
* Added ability to “Report” player
* Teams switch sides between Core Control rounds
* Players now automatically go to staging after every competitive or cooperative game (regame)
* Localization updates
* Various stat fixes
* Collision fixes on Bryce Canyon and Holar Tower cooperative levels
* New leaderboards
* Map fixes for competitive Chicago level
* Games with Friends and Clan members in them are now highlighted in the “Find Game” screen
* Limited late joining has been added to ranked games
* Deathmatch spawning has been improved
* Players can’t earn progress towards Berserks when they are dead
* Reduced sprint speed of core carrier in Core Control games
* Cooperative XP bonuses have been increased by 30%
* Cooperative games respawn time is now 20 seconds
* Players keep their grenades if they get revived in a cooperative game
* Players now have a “Join Game” option for players on their friends list
* A player’s own name is now in white in the obituary text

New Medals:

* Savant – Come in first place 30 times in ranked matches (Comp)
* Hero – Come in first place 60 times in ranked matches (Comp)
* Legend – Come in first place 100 times in ranked matches (Comp)

* Secret Agent – Obtain all spec ops upgrades (Coop)
* Surgeon General – Obtain all medic upgrades (Coop)
* Specter Elite – Obtain all soldier upgrades (Coop)

* Shake N’ Bake - 100 Pulse Cannon Kills (Comp)

New Ribbons:
