This. I find a great position and continue sniping, but the rest of the team moves into the center of the battle, so I can't get them ammo. I'm also an offensive medic, so I'll attack more then I heal.

I spent a good amount of time playing the coop this past weekend (as much time as I could break away and control my shared tv, that is). I have exclusively played as the Soldier, because I wanted to see how the level progression worked with just one character, and it was the first round robin default class assigned to me at the time.
When the game comes out, I plan to start as a medic then go Spec ops before returning to the Soldier. From what I have seen on the frontlines, I would rather push the newbies into being the bullet sponges, while playing the school marm and giving orders with healing in the hopes I can foster teamwork out of the box on day one. Thus enriching the online environs the best I can if I can affect it at all.
It kind of sucks, because I want to delve into the other classes, but I want to let that experience be fresh when the game drops.
When you get a group of people together that have a clue or at least a headset, the teams naturally form into the most efficient ratio of class outfits and people don't always have to be the bullet thrower. Maybe it is the beta community, those rabid Resistance fans who are skewing my view of online play, but it has been rewarding thus far and I cannot wait to see the finalized code in the release.

Maybe with the beta they can complain about how the graphics don't look quite as good as spyro the dragon's singleplayer?
I don't know screw attack but if they really do troll it, getting this beta could offer them more spinning ammo.. get it? Spinning ammo? Splicer, and spin of facts to troll? JK on the pun thing. I'm messing around all throughout this post. (All sarcasm)
Screwattackz: Omg these graphics look horrible. Such a mess, the grass don't have self shadowing, and the lighting isn't like the footage we saw of the singleplayer cg video. I guess that confirms that it was made off computers and not ingame.

It's a server side option. The host probably disabled it.dhelfric said:

Okay guys just listen to what I have to say...
I just played my first cooperative run and I dunno, this seems to be my Game of the Year and I'm not fucking kidding around here.
I was the only medic in the team and it was extremely tough, yet so satisfying when healing people. We all had mics and it was so intense! When there'd be a spawn of chimeras, everyone'd be like "Medic!" and I'd SPAM R2
GOD IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD. I don't know if I want to play more, I want to play the full game NOW!
I'm not kidding, it was so intense, I literally said "Holy shit" like 40 times during the game. God, I love playing as a medic. I want to be a medic IRL now
FUCK
EDIT: I know I'm so hyped right now saying it's "GotY" and stuff but if it remains this intense and fun, it IS the game of the year.

Ugh I'm quivering in excitement as this downloads. Fortunately I can probably beat Dead Space before it's finished. :lol

Yes, I'm sure it would be just as fun. Even if our Plasma Beam Rifles ain't as advanced.
So I just played the co-op and vs. All I can say is fps of the year without question. Up until 1 hour ago I thought the vs was just the multi mission squad that the devs are talking about but I'm thrilled to see that my favourite modes are there aswell and with full 60 player counts. I really enjoyed the way the first game's multiplayer was done but I love these changes alot more. The graphics arnt brilliant but considering the stress that the players and action will be having on the engine they could have been a hell of alot worse.
I never expected to like the co-op very much. Mostly because the ideaof having classes rather than 8 characters that played identical to the single player one didnt sit well with me. Happily I was very wrong about that. The amount of enemies and gun fire on screen at once was staggering yet it never felt like a chaotic mess thanks to some top notch level design. The A.I. wasn't particularly cunning but the good enemy spawns made up for it. In a away it actually felt like a dungeon raid in one of current big mmo's but in a way that made it fun especially the boss fights.
All in all this is a beast of a game that will be getting a day 1 purchase from me

Resistance 2 sits alongside Valkyria Chronicles as being my only definite day one purchases for the remainder of the year. Insomniac fully deserve my time and money for being one of the few developers this generation who are both always improving and always provide the goods.
And Sega deserves it for finally making a great game after all these years.

I want to kill people who don't make their games unlimited rounds in Beta. As soon as a match finishes it's 30 fucking minutes before you can join another :/ Or maybe that's just me.

As expected, my second coop run was just as fun... I totally forgot there'd be random generated levels, I was like "Yeah let's move up here" and stuff... This time it was even more intense, we got like four medics and stuff, damn the XP was rolling like no tomorrow!
I'm still shaking by the awesomeness, still shaking. Jesus Christ, what a game.

Some of these things may already be addressed, but I though I would give my critique of R2 co op.
a) The Bosses and mini bosses have too many hit points. If they do not have too many hit points, I would at least prefer the option to play levels with:
(num players) * (single player boss HP) + (some value of representative party rank/level) = Boss Hit Points
b) The AI of certain bosses is lacking. We need more movement. I love when the Alpha Grimms chase me, the big bosses should as well.
c) The game could use a quick tutorial level, showing the basics of class tasks. Standing in front of a medic as I have no health, or have no ammo next to a spec op... rubs me the wrong way. A quick primer or even FMV for noobs would go a long way.
d) Music for coop? or a choice to play your own.
e) The effects are incredible. So far my favorite effect relates to the death rays things. When the rays are being deflected by a shield, it looks so beautiful. I also think the sound captures the cleansing fury of a human ash creating ray.
f) There really are an incredible amount of things going with no lag. Seriously... the sheer number of enemies, mixed with your other 7 players all healing, supplying, and killing...
g) I have already maxed out my medic (level 10 in beta) days ago, and my soldier and spec op are on there way there as well.
Pre ordered the LE version. I cannot wait to escape into the Single Player story, and then experience the final coop product.

No complaints here. Overall movement is good, and there's a sprint button as well.

Nope, movements excellent, i'd say who ever is saying that is going of the E3 build that Ted demos where it seemed aweful robotic climbing up the stairs and stuff, controls are ace.
All of the GOTY discussion......... hmmm yeah, i recon its in with a HUGEEEE chance going off whats in the Beta, im so pumped for this game, its something different and completely amazing. Lots of 9/10 and 10/10 if this game gets anything bellow and 8.5 the reviewer is fucking full of rich creamy shit.

What, what, what? 24 extra days from the US version, thats insane.... lucky im importing a copy. The AU beta apparently runs till the 10th or 20th of next month, thought that seemed odd, no wonder why now.
