[Official] Resistance 2

[Nightz]

I HAS IT! watching the opening cinematic now. :D

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I was indeed right, the little bit I played was more or less just getting you ready for the good stuff. So far so incredibly damn good.

I absolutely am thoroughly enjoying it. I without a doubt think it is already better than the first one, it is indeed definitely much large in regards to scope, enemies, etc., but there really is still nothing new being done specifically to the First Person Shooter genre, meaning it is not breaking any ground really except for maybe large enemies, I have to admit they are some of the larger enemies I have seen to date in an FPS and I am not even sure if I have really even seen a true boss yet. But the core game-play is very much the same as Resistance 1, and that is a good old, classic First Person Shooter. My personal favorite genre so I love it when it is all about just executing a shooter and doing it well. So if you are looking for something groundbreaking, I would say try the 8 Player Co Op or the MP. The SP is just incredibly well done, but nothing earth shattering in regards to what is being done.

Also this might help others, my custom controllers layout that makes it more like other standard First Person Shooter configurations. Actually maybe not even more like other games, I just think it makes more sense than the default controllers, and you may find you like the defaults, it is all a matter of preference obviously....

DL's Resistance 2 Custom Control Scheme

You have 4 Custom Control Schemes to play with, so pick one that works best for you, for me it is as follows...

RED INDICATES CHANGE TO DEFAULT CONTROLLER LAYOUT

L2 = Use Grenade

L1 = Zoom (Default)

R2 = Alt Fire (Default)

R1 = Primary Fire (Default)

Directional Pad Up - Grenade Type (Default)

Directional Pad Down - Grenade Type (Default)

Directional Pad Left - None (Default)

Directional Pad Right - Flaslight (Default)

Triangle - Weapon Select (Default)

Circle - Melee

X = Jump (Default)

Square = Reload (Default)

L3* = Sprint

R3* = Crouch

* Important Note For Above = I have COMBINE SPRINT & CROUCH set to OFF In the Control Options All the Way At The Bottom

As you can see, I did not do much at all, but throwing grenades with L2, Doing A Melee with Circle, And Sprinting and Crouching with L3 & R3 makes the world of difference for me.

Regarding multiplayer access if I buy the game in USA, will I be unable to play with my EU friends?

You can play with your friends, region free game and region free servers.

I've imported it to get it early as well.

[Emil Valsson]

Cool, because my cousin is in USA right now and I wanted to get it early. :D

Thanks!

I'm just gonna wait for the official release date. Gonna be busy as hell with Dead Space/LBP/Gears2 in the meantime.

If anyone has the game and plans to be on in the next half an hour, me and my coworker (also my friend) are going to play some CoOp or Online MP in about 30 minutes.

:D

One day your just going to wait for a game to be released in the UK like the rest of us. :p

I still can't use my mic in the game. They need to make it to were we can actually use the push to talk button. I can't mute my mic when I am not using it either because I can't stand the beeping it does.

That must be annoying.

I would need a mute button that worked properly, during games of Burnout Paradise I would go to the toilet, go get some food, and would have to mute from the mic itself since there is no push to talk in the game.

Though no one would know, sometimes I have even kept on talking. :rofl:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Well I never played a true match before, tried, but had issues...

I created a party with just my friend, started my own server easy enough, but 2 player CoOp is just not that fun, so we tried looking again for a full game. Connected to one, and for both me and my friend it said Waiting for Host To Start Game, then we both got an error saying Network Not Available or something like that... We both restarted our PS3's.

Then I could not connect to any game at all, or my friends list, and kept getting that error above about No Network or however it was worded. That lasted about 10 minutes of getting the same message and I just gave up.

Talked to my friend about a half hour later, and he was playing straight up MP online, but it was just really disappointing that yet another PS3 game, a major release at that, is giving me issues with connecting to Servers. Nowhere near as bad as lets say SOCOM in it's first few weeks, but once, just once, I would really enjoy playing a game on my PS3 in the first week of release and not having a single issue with online play. Just once.

I was just getting on here to post about that. Their servers have gone down maybe three times today since I have been playing.

I am a little annoyed with the game right now. It hasn't given me three trophies that I have done. The first one being complete twenty coop missions. The other two are the five games with eight people and play one mission on each level.

Also the servers still seem to be going down a lot.

Hope that's fixed for when I get it :(

The beta ran flawless for me every time I played.

yep, I also had issues last night again, but they went away after trying a few times.

Then played for about an hour and a half, and apparantly the stats are not working either, as I got ZERO XP for playing MP.

[Dirk]

Hopefully they fix it soon. I want my trophies. lol.

They also need a server filter.

Wrong thread ;)

[Dirk]

Well it finally let me get the two trophies for playing with five other people and completing one mission on each map. Now though I have played twenty-three or four missions and still don't have the complete twenty trophy. :(

[DPyro]

Whoops, threads getting so big I can't tell the difference :o

[Dirk]

They really need to hurry up and fix these servers. I still haven't got that trophy yet and I have completed 26 missions.
