Resistance 2 - Open Beta Key Giveaway!!

I've managed to purchase the kinetic gloves for my medic. Did it say "purchased" when you got them? I think that's all you have to do. They are equipped automatically.
 
Can someone explain to me how points/XP work? I can get 45 kills and a number of headshots, yet still be quite a bit behind someone with 11 kills :confused: Do deaths take away a significant amount of XP?
 
You get more XP from doing team orientated things than you do for kills. A medic can rack up loads more points healing allies than he will killing enemies, the spec ops also receives loads of XP from giving ammo, i think the soldier gets points for absorbing damage into his shield that would otherwise hit an ally but i'm not sure on that one yet.

You do also lose points for dying but it isn't much at all, around 100 i think. Also i don't think you lost any points if someone revives you.

[EDIT] RAWR! Just completed the coop level with only 3 people in our team, it was on a knifes edge most of the time but we just about pulled it off. The tactic we used was me constantly ammoing the soldier to keep his shields up while spamming the secondary fire with the marksman all while me and the medic would hide behind the soldiers shield, the key was for the soldier to do his best at keeping his movements predicable so me and the medic could stay right behind the safety of his shield. When my invisibility was charged the other two would hang back somewhere while i ran out and took as many down as i could before my adrenaline ran out, which usually yielded about 5-6 easy kills. Really difficult, especially when the chimera rushed you, but we got an insane amount of XP out of it. The solider in particular got a mental amount of XP due to the amount of damage his shield must have absorbed.

That is exactly the way to do it Streeteh but as I say too many just come along and do their own thing.

I got 12 mission reports and nothing happened. I guess in the real game you might go up a rank. Unless there are 12 co-op maps and it's just a record of how many you've completed?
 
I think it has potential, but I did find it a little repetitive.
If the SP storymode is decent, then I may well pick it up, but MP is missing *something*, I can't quite put my finger on it.
 
Hmm, think I will just get my medic man up to level 10 and then stop and wait for the real game. I wonder how many different maps there will be for the co-op campaign and what other weapon loadouts are remaining behind those 3 locked I've got.

I do have to say though out of the minimal multiplayer experience I've had, I've never felt as comfortable playing multiplayer as I have with this one. It's a great sense of comraderie. Just going OT slightly - what other games have co-op MP like this? Does CoD4? Is Team Fortress 2 similar?

Cod4 iirc has no coop and Team Fortress 2 is a competitive multiplayer only game, there's no single player to coop in. Halo 3 has a pretty decent 4 player coop, gears has a decent 2 player coop, that's about all i can think of. Left 4 dead which is being released next month on the PC (not sure when the console release dates are) is a 4 player coop only game as in, no competitive online at all, and if you play it single player you play with 3 bots instead of real people, it's made by valve (of half life fame) and it looks fantastic.

I thought TF2 would be like this? I've never played it but don't you have different classes of men and you help each other out in a team? Like this R2 game.

Well yes, you are different classes and you do help each other, but you fight against another team of real people. It's the standard affair of capture the flag etc it's just class based.

[EDIT] Whats your PSN ID btw?

See sig. Thanks for the info. I prefer team-based multiplayer when there's a good number of you. When you only have 4 or so people, you're relied on a bit too much for my liking because I'm usually crap at team shooters. :D
 
I just got another code e-mailed to me from Playstation Underground. I think it is a USA one but not sure (maybe from that Beta link above?).

I imagine more people will get codes if that is the case. Post names in this thread in a list and e-mail them out that way?

I've gone up in rank. It appears to depend on the total XP accumulated across all classes. Perhaps 500,000 or something for the first.
