I really enjoyed online for R2, but when KZ2 came out I dropped R2 like a steaming pile.

Co-op was fun for a while until I had every map and enemy memorized and would walk thru them like they were standing still. Or you'd get teamed with guys that wouldnt heal as medics, and the spec-op that wouldnt throw ammo until he needed some and at that time he'd be at the back end of the map.

So, where's the news Insomniac? Or is it so lame it flew under the radar?

I got an Insomniac newsletter through email today. Still haven't read it, but if you're on their mailing list you should have gotten it.

EDIT: Apparently the only thing they have to tell us is that they're going on a cruise and we should be jealous of them or even apply for a job there. Bleh.

WTF?! Okay, selling off R2, especially if that's their idea of news.

anyone still playing this? I havent played in a while because of fallout 3. But was wondering if peeps are still playing

I would definitely play this again with new co-op maps.

It was also revealed that Insomniac is working on a new, unannounced PS3 exclusive.

I'm still playing this game. Though, just the single player. I promised myself (and my wife) that I would finish 2 games before I would play Killzone 2. Finished Prince of Persia earlier this week, and am on the last stage of R2.

Also about 2 levels away from getting my profile to level 25. I'll probably play again once more maps come out.

My buddy picked this up a few days ago so we been playing coop. Still a lot of peeps on....

Don't get me wrong, I loved coop all the way around (well, except maybe for clueless Special Op players), but those of us who had this game since launch are a little tired of the same old maps.

I was tired of them after 2 months and bought COD W@W to hold me over til KZ2 came out. I really dont think I'll ever put R2 back in the PS3. To me online just wasnt as good as R1, competitive not co-op. Hopefully R3 will be better but it will not be a release day buy for me. You would think that after 4 months they would release new maps but I guess not. If they released new maps in the next week I would buy them and play some more co-op.

I got my PS3 this past xmas and got both Resistance games, they had a deal at Future shop where if you buy R2 you get R1 for free. I enjoyed the single player for both games. Have not played much MP but I don't have the time to play anyway.
Good games and will d buy R3 if they make it.

Wow people are still playing this game? I gave up on it 2 months ago. Nowhere near as good as R1 for online.

I gave up with one trophy left. 10,000 kills in comp, lamest trophy requirements ever:mad:

LOL I gave up on that one too. I think they figured that would make people keep playing but its just stupid. I tried to get into competitive to get it but I dont know, it just wasnt that great. Not enough ammo, horrendous spawn points, I think they went to far away from R1 for my liking. I loved how the nades and different weapons had spawn points, that was half the strategy right there, get to the arc charger b4 the others could get it, the larks b4 the lark whores could get it, plus the look was totally different and the maps arent that great.

I definitely agree about more maps already...I have had this game since launch week and kind of shocked no new maps yet.

They're busy going on a cruise. :cool:

Patch 1.50 Announced along with DLC both coming this Thursday March 26th.

* Meltdown Mode added - Apparently, we will be getting to play in a remake of the classic Resistance 1 multiplayer mode.
* New co-op difficulty - Superhuman has been added as a mega, ultra-hard mode for the co-operative campaigns.
* Second player PSN login - The split-screen second player can now login to their own PSN profile and their information, gaming XP, etc. from that session will be saved.

Follow link for video interview.

Consequently the multiple PSN login has led to speculation that this must first come in a firmware (i.e. 2.70) and further speculation that it will launch during GDC.

No WAY! Thanks for the info, Viz! Luckily, I've been too lazy to sell off my copy, and since I just beat RE5 and still have money in my PSN wallet, it's time to dust off R2.

Co-op was fun for a while until I had every map and enemy memorized and would walk thru them like they were standing still. Or you'd get teamed with guys that wouldnt heal as medics, and the spec-op that wouldnt throw ammo until he needed some and at that time he'd be at the back end of the map.

Hopefully the new super hard mode will make this game more interesting.

FINALLY the lack of challenge in co-op is being addressed! I loved that mode more than any co-op since Streets of Rage 2, but it became way too easy. Am I reading it right? Are there two new difficulties for co-op?

Looks like one new difficulty for co-op...Superhuman.

Here is some other info I found:

DLC will include:

New Skins(99 cents each) :
+ Rachel Parker
+ Another Female (both the female and Rachel Parker will have 'female animations')
+ Two black ops soldiers
+ Cloven from R1
+ Chimera (the one that carries the massive shield)

Aftermath Map Pack ($5.99)

Patch 1.50 (free) will include:

+Second PSN Login: If a friend is with you, he can sign in and while you do co op, he can earn XP points as well.

+Meltdown Mode: The mode from Resistance: FOM will return.

+Superhuman Co-op: Standard co op but with increased difficulty, that of superhuman in the singleplayer. More experience points are given out, however in this mode, respawns have been removed.

+New announcement section where it will display details on the update.


Both the map pack and the update will hit Thursday 26th March.

Man, I came that close to spending my last $10 in my PSN wallet the other day... time to get back into some R2 before the new stuff drops so I won't be too rusty.

New stuff sounds great; I just don't know though if I want to buy the map pack.

Sweet about time! I wonder how many maps are included in the map pack?

I played thru SP and loved it but just never really got into the MP that much. co-op is fun but it just didnt grab me. I'll give it another try before it hits the trade in bin

Booooring. I'm so done with this game. Competitive trophy requirement is just crap.

Booooring. I'm so done with this game. Competitive trophy requirement is just crap.
Yup and thats why I've been done with this game for a few months now. Thats the only trophy I'm missing too to get the platinum.

Full patch and DLC details.

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)

New leaderboards

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 Ribbons

Manic Medic – Heal for 1000 points within 3 seconds (Coop)
Solid Solider – Absorb 500 points of damage within a few seconds with your force barrier (Global)

Specter Medic – Revive 2 or more allies within a few seconds (Coop)
Hail Mary – Throw ammo and hit your target from at least 10 meters away (Coop)
Quick and Painless – Score 3 headshots kills in a row (Global)

Players now automatically go to staging after every competitive or cooperative game (regame)

I wonder if that means that your team stays together after a co-op match.... and can the leader change the map.

Yup and thats why I've been done with this game for a few months now. Thats the only trophy I'm missing too to get the platinum.

Same here. I contacted them about it and I got back a lame response about them seeing "several" people hit 10,000 kills in comp. Pssh.

LMAO several out of how many? 1 Million? yeah thats a great ratio. And IMO they ruined R2's online play besides Co-op and for them to take 5 months to get DLC out is a joke. R3 for me will be a wait and get it off ebay for half price. I was sick of R2 by the end of december and havent touched it since the first week of January.

Yeah, I even splurged and bought the Limited Edition copy:mad:

I'll wait on Resistance 3 as well, they just tried to get whizz bang with the co-op and Single and Comp paid the price.

So if I am reading this correctly, there are no new maps for coop? I don't care about comp mode so if so then no DLC for me.

DL'd the update, but haven't played yet, waiting on the map pack. Yes, I'm getting it, because I want to play the new maps on Deathmatch.

DLing the map pack now and will be playing later today, great for me as it's the wife's Grey's Anatomy night.

I had sworn off of resistance last week. The only reason I kept playing it this long is that it is the only game that all of my online friends have...but the overall lag and inconsistent kills took away a lot of the fun factor. Now the game runs a lot smoother. No more melee's from 20ft away, no more pumping a clip into someone and them running off, no more TDM matches with 70-80% accuracy and a negative k/d ratio. This is the way the game should have ran at launch. The only thing that sucks is the new matchmaking. It's hard to get a game with all of our party on the same team...but overall a great patch.

The patch seems worthwhile, but I'm disappointed that the map pack doesn't include additional co-op missions. I like the competitive modes in KZ2 much more, so R2's main draw is the co-op mode, which became very stale for me about two months ago. I would like to get my Spec-Ops from level 25 up to level 30, but I have not had any desire to play the same old missions for the 50th time.

Tried to get in on a Superhuman coop game, but it would always come back with NO GAMES FOUND. Bummer. Anyway, with the new maps, we would get 5 guys on one side and maybe 1 or 2 on the other, with no way to switch over to even it up, and then the game would kick us for not having enough players. Frustrating, as that happened at least 5 time last night. And when you pick to play the new maps, that's all you get to play, the same 2 over and over, unless there's a way to play all the maps that I'm not aware of.

So was there a patch in addition to the DLC? Superhuman Coop? Someone said something about the game running smoother? I didnt really see any lag ever before.

About the new maps...thats how they did it in R1 when the new maps came out. it was a while before you had an option of playing thru old+new maps. Im guessing they are on separate servers until more people get the new maps?

Superhuman coop sounds cool, with no respawning unless someone revives you, but still haven't gotten in on a game yet! I thought so about the new maps, but it's still a little frustrating, the way they have it set up. Never saw any hardcore lag when I play; much more lag on KZ2 than I ever saw on R2.

I was the one that said it was running smoother. There was somewhere in the area of a second of lag across the board. IE: Getting melee'd by someone 20ft away, getting shot by someone after you've ran behind cover, etc. I know the first thing to assume is MY connection, but with other games and web apps I have a great connection. Always 4bar in COD and regularly the host, single digit pings to speedtest/dslreports, etc.

The patch and DLC are seperate. Meltdown/superhuman co-op/etc are free and part of the patch. Only new maps and skins are $$$.

Combining old maps and new maps in R1 didn't work well. After they combined them you could hardly ever get westmorland/cambridge/axbridge/bracknell games. They R1 maps have been free and you still rarely get one.

The second player PSN login would have gotten me really excited about three months ago. However, it's too little too late now and most players have moved on to other games such as KZ2 (myself included).

Resistance Home Space coming tomorrow along with Game Launching, minigames, and reward items. Read about it here.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/05/20/this-week-in-playstation-home-resistance-space-unleashed-game-launching-confirmed/

What was originally only available for pre-order is now going to be available to everyone today.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/05/28/free-resistance-2-multiplayer-skins/

Dr. Malikov and The Grims didn’t just have a part in Resistance 2’s campaign—you could also assume the role of these characters on the game’s competitive multiplayer battlefields. Well, that’s if you pre-ordered R2 at select U.S. retailers and received one of the bonus multiplayer skins.

Over the last few months we’ve received a number of e-mails from Resistance fans here and around the globe requesting these exclusive skins. So starting today both will be available for download through the PlayStation Store in all territories for free!

I just picked the Collector's Edition up for $26 at Best Buy. Stores are running a "Manager's Special" with some games for 50% off, including R2 CE and Saint's Row CE.

The price came up at $52 but I asked someone in the media dept. if the game was supposed to be part of the Manager's Special. He said he thinks so and checked the list. The cashier had to manually add the 50% off.

Some stores have them at $40 with 50% off ($20).

I mainly bought the game for the SP (or coop if I can find someone) and was waiting for a sub $30 price.

The Chimera action figure is pretty awesome. I just hope he doesn't kill my Ryu and Vault 101 guy while I'm at work. ;)

Im going to have to check out the best buy near me and see if they are running this deal. Ive been waiting for a sub 30 price myself! Congrats on the deal!

Can anyone tell me what it takes to make it to lieutenant level?

I was really hoping by reaching level 9 that would move me up from corporal but it didn't. I've already played through the game a couple of times now. I really want that silver medal so I can finally move on to another game. LOL

A lot. Play some Co-op and competitive.

I played through the single player mode once and played through Co-op, and it took me forever to get to level 25.

My friend told me that he leveled really quickly playing competitive.

I think he's level 40 something now?

I can't remember for sure. Are you trying to get the trophy? If so, then yes...it's level 25.

I'm level 52 or 53.

Hopefully I'll get the platinum soon.

Actually I was on level 59 and I maxed to 60 already.

3k more kills to go.

im selling my copy if anyone wants it, started school again so i have no time

PM me if you are interested
