RESISTANCE 2 DISCUSSION (PS3)

I've not played this game since completing the single player

Was a bit dissapointed as it was pretty easy to complete (seemed really short?) and the story started to get boring half way thru

Is anyone playing this online?

I gave it a go online and I think I got to rank 3 or 4 but not really played it since getting new games for xmas.

One thing I don't like online is the invisibility

Who is up for a game of cooperative tonight at say, 10pm? Come on ic1male and rp2000 where are you?! \delia smith mode off

Sol · 6 Jan 2009 at 21:45

I'd be up for a game but I'd only play around 1-1.5hrs. Name is "danaconda81" - I was stumped lol.

I'm installing a stupid demo at the moment so I'll be about 5-10 mins if anyones adding me.

rp2000 · 6 Jan 2009 at 22:14

OK I'm playing now if anyone wants to join me.

I think it's going to be a while yet

I've been checking daily aswel as various online forums but can't grab a cheapish copy.

Unfortunately I don't have a headset but I'll have to get one

Heard there is a mp patch coming in a few weeks to improve party system and class balancing

Sol · 7 Jan 2009 at 09:46

Cheers for the games last night, first time attempting online with the PS3 and it was better than expected. I didn't have a clue what I was doing the first few maps, was throwing the Spec Ops ammo at the enemies thinking it was mines, was a bit better when I got to the brainless soldier class

.

It's a bit strange as generally the enemies don't fire at you because they are laying into everyone else and you just pummel them until they die without retaliation.

What headsets do you guys use for it? I'm toying with the idea of getting this one: Sony Ericsson Akono pv708

Will it make it quicker to level up? Right now I really can't be arsed - it's too much of a chore!

Cheers,

Yeah levelling up takes ages on this, I mean I got 40,000 XP from 2 games on Skirmish, yet im barely over Level 5 - coming from the 'middle' of Level 4

Also im lost as to how I become a medic etc, my bloke appears to just be a troop. Also these add-ons you get, do they do anything? Like hip packs etc

Medic is only available in co-operative, not competitive.

All the add-ons seem to do is make your character look more unique, so theres not a map full of bland looking Hale's running about.

mehuk · 7 Jan 2009 at 13:51

Cheers - so things like other people going invisible etc, is that not unlocked by ranking up?

I just think im at a disadvantge at times....

Sumanji · 7 Jan 2009 at 15:24

Yeah you can only unlock that stuff by levelling up. I frequently get owned by people with LAARK's and the big laser cannon thingy, which are only unlocked at Level 15

Is that the blue electricity type thing?

Ive wondered what that was, ive got an age to level up that far then

Think thats the electrostatic orb, its a starting perk for most classes iirc. If you don't know how to use perks, I think you press Up on the D-Pad once the bar at the top of the screen is full and flashing.

mehuk · 7 Jan 2009 at 17:14

man i am way out of touch with this game

- i thought my perk was the secondary fire option

been doing alright considering lol

mehuk · 8 Jan 2009 at 14:15

Finally worked out the perk stuff.... takes soo long to level up though, I mean im not playing a lot anyway, but im halfway through 6 and if I need to get 15 then R3 will be out before I get there!

I enjoy the 60 man unranked games a lot, feels like a real pitched battle at times... back and forth, outnumbered, rushing a base - probably because I watched the Alamo over christmas that i like being in a base having to fend off the 'thousands'

Griffyn · 8 Jan 2009 at 15:25

I have done the co-op part of the game with level 30 medic (bryce canyon on 8 player normal rakes in a nice cool 50k-80k xp, especially after xmas with all the noobs).

I am playing story on hard to unlock superhuman, kinda wish I had done hard first time, but actually really easy after playing a lot of co-op.

Then will start abit more on the competitve, although how do you know if a game is ranked or not?

Must admit I do love R2, loved R1 when it first came out as it was one of the only games I had, haha.
