Resistance 2 beta = Awesome

Well I just got done playing about 2 hours of the Resistance 2 beta and I have to say this game is an absolute blast to play online. I pretty much just did co-op for the two hours, different scenarios scattered across one level but even then it was awesome to have 5 or 6 teammates there with you, all of you dependant on one another. The regular solidiers depend on medics for health and special ops for ammo, special ops is excellent at taking out enemies from a distance, and medics not only heal you but fight against enemies. What I thought was cool was in some sitatuions two teammates have to push a button at the same time in order to open up certain doors, this means that if you don't work as a team you're going to get no where. However, there are other times where acting alone can help the team out. For example, I had 4 teammates distracting about 20-30 enemies and while the enemies were behind cover I flanked them, threw a few grenades on their heads and ta da no more enemies to deal with. I think in what was roughly a 20 minute match (before we all died) I had racked up about 147 kills and encountered two pretty fun boss fights. I also liked how the enemies weren't just pushovers but were quick, challenging and smart. Sometimes they'd start running after you and other times they'd camp behind huge turrets and make you go after them. The game does an excellent job of shaking things up and just constantly throwing enemies at you over and over and then shaking things up with a big boss fight or two. Visually the game is pretty impressive, not something that will rival Gears of War 2 or Killzone 2 but the water looks great, character models are well defined, and did I mention that the guns in this game rock? I mean you have a pistol that shoots explosive sticky rounds, a gatling gun that comes complete with a shield so you can mow down enemies with glee, and a gun that fires frickin saw blades at people! GAH! Love it.I usually don't like hyping games on here because of the consequences that can ensue but I think that this game might be flying under the radar in terms of how popular it might become. After playing the beta there's not a doubt in my mind about whether or not to get this game. The online mode easily rivals COD4 and in my opinion I think I enjoyed this quite a bit more. So there you go, I think this game should easily get an 8.0 and depending on the reviewer I think IGN gives it a 9.0-9.5 and GS an 8.5-9.0. Of course this is just going off the online portion...not sure if the single player campaign will be a large factor in the final score or not. Thoughts? Resistance 2 beta = Awesome

You can get it by preordering that game through Gamestop.At this point though it probably isn't worth it. I think the beta is only on for another couple of weeks, and when you get the beta that way it takes Gamestop 48 business hours (So weekends don't count) to email you the ''key'' code, then you have to take that code and go to the Resistance 2 site and plug it in, and after that it takes a few days for those people to send you the actual beta stuff.

[/QUOTE]I was able to get in the Beta through buying Qore episode 3, dunno if buying that episode will work now or not. It is 2.2GB so it'll take awhile to download (about 45 minutes) but it's definitely worth it.
After playing the beta im hyping R2 AAAE on GS. The 8 player co-op was fun and amazing and the 30 on 30 battles are epic. AAAE on GS 9.

Reserve the game's Collector's Edition (I believe it's only the CE or could be just reserve the game) or buy this MOnth's QORE to get a beta code.2. Register at the resistance website.( I'll try and fine the link) and enter your PSN info to have a chance to obtain a code (which will be going out next week)Hope that helps.EDIT: Hmm seems as if beta.myresistance.net doesn't work anymore. Sorry. That was the link to the site I got from Sony, but entering that web address gives you a prompt for password and username that don't seem to be your PSN ID.
My PS3 is broke :cry:.I'll have to ask my bro Eve how it is. Thank you for the preview BTW :).

I've played it for 30 mins now.I really like the menu options. Co-op has a RPG element of leveling up which is cool. Where each bullit landed on an enemy is one experience point.
