I will say that I very much agree with this - this game rewards you greatly for just assisting in kills and I like that. Gratification whores will love this game - it's the game that just keeps on giving (for doing relatively little). You don't have to be a multiplayer bad ass to level up. You can suck and get the goodies too!
I will also say that the netcode - once again - is without peer. Even 60 player Team Deathmatch games run without a hitch. Very fucking impressive.

I have a co-op room up if anyone is interested in playing (NeoGAF 1).

Yeah, the main thing they need to do is balance out the enemy life bars. I would much rather have a tough enemy that deals out damage instead of a weak one that just can take a lot of damage. That or at least add in some weak points to aim for.
Is there any way to distinguish your squadmates aside from the halo at the player's feet? I find it hard to locate my squadies quickly, either visually or on the map/minimap.
A different color (like in CoD5) or a screen indicator (like in the co-op, where the medic/SpecOps can see where their allies who need help are quickly) would be great.

The black bars on the side will be removed when full game is out right?

Just played a good few Skirmish games there. I think I was the best player overall. I can see this mode stealing my spare time when the full game gets released.
And Daedalus sounds exactly like Seamus from Family Guy.

You eeked me out, dude! I came in second.
Good games .... I like that there are sometimes more than one objective in Skirmish mode ... in fact, I would like that to happen more often. It's fun having to hold down a beacon and also at the same time, have to assassinate a particular enemy. It can get a little tedious running back and forth constantly from beacon to beacon, it's better when there is more than one objective thrown into the mix imo.
BTW, Industrian, when you were in the squad channel, could you hear me? I kept asking and get no reply so i assumed you couldn't (or you were ignoring me lol)

my main issue is also the weakness of the guns and Im not sure if its because I played so much COD4 with its quick kills but I feel like Ive put enough bullets in someone to kill them and they are still alive- this goes for the automatic weapons but it also goes for shotguns and grenade launchers-
or it could just be that I suck at this game....
also I felt that the Chicago level is way too dark, I couldnt see what was goin on half the time

The variety of the mode is awesome. Once I become more familiar with the maps I think I'll survive for longer when I'm the assassination target.

That put me off playing Resistance online. As everytime I played it, it seemed that I'd empty a magazine into someone before they died. Compared to CoD4 of course when even the handguns feel like killing machines.
I heard someone complaining that it takes 3-4 salvos from the Marksman to take down an enemy, and that has pissed me off in the past. But the good thing about weak weapons is that it takes skill to kill people.
JimtotheHum said:
There's only one cure to that, and that's to play more.
I was going to mention this. R2 is toned down compared to R1. It kept a similar feeling to the gameplay, but in R1 someone could attack you from behind and if you were good enough, you could take them out. It was all about headshots, especially with the carbine. Good times I had with R1.industrian said:

I havent' played yet, as my GS code shipped out LATE Friday night (after I had already gone out of town... and left my PS3). Hopefully I'll be playing a little bit later today or tomorrow.
However, I'm already seeing lots of "OMG IT TAKES FIVE CLIPS TO KILL SOMEONE" complaints. The same thing I heard 9 million times in R1. While I can't personally vouch for it, I imagine your aim is just terrible. Because shooting someone in the HEAD drops someone INSANELY fast in R1. I imagine the same is true in R2 (or something is really wrong).
I mean, go shoot someone with a battle rifle in Halo... and don't shoot them in the head. I don't think you can even kill someone without using a clip and a half. Of course, Halo is about 5x slower than Resistance (which is already not THAT fast)... which is where I feel the complaints come from. It's a lot easier to hit people in the head when they're slow as molasses.

That's over generalizing it. It's like saying all abilities in Wow are attacks.Y2Kev said:
At any time you have six abilities to use which you can exchange prior to battle.
Main weapon primary fire/secondary fire
Alt weapon primary fire/secondary fire
Grenade
Berserk
And to be more precise how those work specifically (for Medic for instance):
Main Weapon:
- Splash Healing area
- Drain Life ability from enemy, can also link two enemies, refills your own health as well as Splash Healing ammo
---
Alt Weapon (in this instance machine gun):
- Long distance, high damage fire
- Grenade launcher
---
Spike Grenade
---
Berserk (chosen from a bigger list):
- Healing Aura after getting charged up with xp
R1 doesn't cover it all.
We're also discussing a FPS game where there is no downtime before doing a raid and a with an actual high-end raid lasting 1-1.5 hours compared to 3-5 hours like in a MMO.
So far the game's been great, i love co-op and multiplayer... but there's something that worries me. Guns don't sound that great and the game is just too quiet. I have like three guys no farther away than 5 meteres and I can't hear them shoot. I'm hoping this is a beta issue (not wanting to load all sound effects into the beta) and not a game issue.
By the way, I was playing in a 5.1 sound system, so I wasn't playing with the volume down.

i've not played the game but read enough to know there isn't any preset comm chatter.
It worked extremely well in MGO (voice chat is shit shit shit in MGO) and allowed us in the EU GAF clan to coordinate effectively.
Any chance of something similar being shoehorned into R2 post-launch at somepoint?

Thanks for the response about my Stalker question, JS. In my opinion that's the only glaring issue with co-op; the "miniboss" fights like the Titans and Stalkers. It's generally a complement to say that R2 co-op feels like playing a well organized MMO raid, but once you get to those fights, it unfortunately feels like fighting bosses in MMOs, where they just stand there taking your hits until they die 5-10 minutes later. (Except FFXI since it's perfect, /fanboy.)
It's a huge improvement over the private where they posed absolutely no threat at all, but I probably don't have any clue how far along the AI for these enemies might be at this point. Currently it drags down the fun of the co-op experience; once you finally blast through wave after wave of hybrid, grim and ravager, you're not really looking forward to the boss enemies because they're simply not fun to fight against.
I'm looking forward to seeing any improvement in this area because it's the only thing I don't like about this beta build; everything else is immensely gratifying, which is what the experience should be. Bravo for pulling it off so well.
And LAARK lv30 unlock confirmed?

Is game-sharing allowed with R2 beta?
When can we expect a massive giveaway with beta keys? Fileplanet/Eurogamer style.
Have you guys made a R2 costume/level for LBP?
When's the next Podcast?
How do you plan to top R2 next year?
Or was this part of the plan, give R2 long legs so people don't expect R3 soon whilst you make the most awesome pixar film again with R&C?
In the podcast, who's the guy (no offence to him), with the lisp?
Please answer the first question only if you have no time.

Few more additions to my "list of things that needs to be tweaked":
- Please give us the ability to turn off Berserk (If there already is, do tell me how). I don't want to wait for someone to kill me or I don't want to kill myself to stop the Berserk. Pressing down should activate and deactivate Berserk. Of course when you deactivate it, you shouldn't be able to reactivate without charging it up from where you left.
- Splicer's secondary should be a tap instead of holding. A simple tap should activate the blades and tapping it again should deactivate them.
Question: I don't know if this works or not but can splicer's secondary be used as a melee weapon? (I tried too many times but it never worked. Ofcourse i died 2 second after contacting the enemy so lol). It would be awesome if you can come close and "chainsaw" someone.

Correct viewing angle of what? Your vision is already downscaled compared to those playing in single player.Smidget said:
Personally I think it would make more sense to show the sides. Despite the fact that it may increase the FOV, I don't think its that big of an advantage.
COD4 split-screen is done well.
All what will need to be done is to simply show the sides and thats it. The black bars are annoying.
The beta is freaking amazing. I'm totally blown away by the quality of this game. The coop alone is totally worth $60 and we still get an amazing competitive and single player campaign. I'm buying to copies (1 LE and 1 SE) of this amazing game

Exact same thing happened to me last night when I finally got to play the beta for the first time. Took close to an hour to go through the co-op mission with 4 people.
At least it kept my experience/level.
I really love this style of teamwork, and the XP/leveling system is definitely addictive.
Hopefully I'll have more time to play tonight. If anyone feels like having a Resistance newb like me along for some co-op tonight, I'd love to run through a mission or 2 with some GAFfers.
