I agree with you 100%. I would love more Skirmish missions as well that don't feel out of place, and yes, I would love an indicator in the map telling me who are in the squad (I'm positive this was available in R:FOM).

Assault turned out to be my favorite mode in the end. It was the perfect mix of strategy and chaos; made for some great matches. I can't wait to see what Insomniac will come with.
My test got pushed back 3 weeks and I finished all my programming assignments so I'll be on as much as I can tonight : ) So far, 2 is just way harder than 1 right now, I just can't seem to kill anyone. I even played a few RFOM matches the other night and and still played pretty well. R2 will just take some time like the first did, I played Rfom for 2 years and still haven't perfected the 'LAARK jump'

Man, when this thing glitches, IT GLITCHES!!!
I was just playing a game where my character couldn't die, but every kill I racked up went to someone other than me :lol

I'm surprised that some people actually enjoy the co-op in this game.
The enemy AI is brain-dead and simply stand around in place soaking up damage like bullet sponges. The worst offender was this big enemy (Titan I think it was called?) holding a rocket launcher - he stared at us for a while and then turned around and got stuck walking into a wall or something. He was defenseless as we all shot at him for what felt like ten minutes straight. Not fun.
Combat just wasn't satisfying at all in co-op. The enemies are so stupid that they're boring to fight, they take way too many bullets to kill, you're extremely limited in combat options, there's no tension or risk of failure at all since you auto-respawn when dying (as long as one teammate is alive). There's just so many things wrong with it IMO. I'll probably buy it for the SP and ignore co-op completely, it's a mess.

Marksman owns the carbine seven ways from Sunday.
Also, I find the Bellock really good too. Decent rate of fire, only 3 hits to kill, and secondary fire confusses the hell out of people. Splicer, though, definitely needs work. It's worse in every possible way than the bellock AND harder to aim. And shorter range.

Well, few time it went crap but most of time are fine and well A.I. I suspect it is nothing to do with the game. It is all cos of host's faulty, If host has lack of speed bandwidth, all the enemies will be stay still or move slowly to balance for all the players in the team.
I'm lucky to have most of my friends have 5MB upload speed. We are playing together and it was almost perfect but one thing I agreed with you is too much bullets to kill.

The commercial is terrible. Nothing in that would make an uninformed person want Resistance 2. Does Insomniac have ANY input?
Where is the 60 PLAYER MULTIPLAYER. More than triple of Halo 3's.
Where is the 8 PLAYER CO OP ONLINE CAMPAIGN. Double the amount of Halo 3's.
Where are the awesome guns, bosses, set pieces and first person view point?
No one would even know its a game until the last tenth of the whole commercial. Yeah it might make the story interesting or whatever, even though a little asian boy and black lady have nothing to do with Chimera. It needs gameplay, cool gameplay, which Resistance 2 has plenty of. You want people to say "Woah thats awesome," then the go on the internet and see good reviews, then they go buy it. Or they just might skip the internet part. My friend who was with me when we watched it just shrugged and asked me why I said it was awesome and that he should buy it.
It's ok to be cliched Insomniac, just have a cool commercial voice give a quick wrap up of Chimera and show some scary footage. Then go balls out with shooting footage and bosses and big bold letters screaming the features you worked oh so hard on.

I'm going to say something that may sound really stupid
I don't care about the LE extras, but I might buy it just because I like the cover art. Where as I think the regular edition cover art looks terrible. Does that sound reasonable to spend a extra $20?

Good god, this is the FPS of the year, without question. I thought the graphics looked really good in videos and whatnot, but actually playing it is a whole different story.

wow just saw the commercial. that shit was *WACK* it reminded me of one of those horrible "mental" sega saturn commercials from the 90s. sort of like a poorly done soundgarden video or something.
ugh.
ugh.

I've been away for a few days so I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered. Have IG responded to complaints about the AI (in particular with regard to the bosses) as everyone seemed to be complaing about it? I'm close to preordering the game but I'm a little concerned.

Why do people keep saying this? I'm really liking the game, but the game has already gone gold.
I've had fun in co-op, but I've only done two of them. I just like killing people, sorry, and I'm liking the game better and better on that front with each match. 10 man San Fransisco is amazing... (especially when everyone else is running around with carbines and bullseyes).

You're not alone Bruce. Though after scouring half a dozen message boards since Friday it does seem it is only you and I that can't get the bloody thing to work! I've gone through 2 beta keys and nearly 7gb's of bandwidth downloading the US beta twice and the UK one once, but just doesn't want to let me in
You had problems with any other online games before? I haven't. My net connection's perfectly fine too so absolutely no idea what we're up against...

At first I was like D: then was like :O then back to D:
I never played Resistance before except for the demo on PSN, so this was my first.
At first I was like oh shit this feels loose and shitty, then I got used to it and felt fine.
Then I tried Co-op, at first I was like oh man cool 8 player co-op and no lag, then the chimera appear and I was getting frustrated because I thought it was legging but it turned out that the enemies need a full clip of ammo to die, just for one to die, then I was like WTF didly uck is this shit?
Every enemy requires shit loads of bullets and the bosses... oh my god at the bosses, SO BORING. you just stand there with the machine gun and hold R1 until the magical line reaches zero. I tried medic and found that even more boring since I just hide behind the soldier and he protects me and I revive him but I do less damage so... yeah.
And the AI, I don't think it even exists in this game at all, just stand there and wait until they die, and oh yeah they move around a bit but will stop when they collide with the other chimera. BRAIN DEAD AI!
Co-op is basically a really shitty version of Left4Dead (shit AI, boring, pacing sucks, really useless and no need for it at all)
And the weapons. they feel like staplers with scopes, the only one that felt satisfying is the grenade launcher thingy.
Also, the character customization looks like joke, I have no idea what to do when I am in that menu, I don't understand the presets and all that shit with it.
I wish Insomniac stops with this a game every year crap, this game needs more time.
my shooter money is leaning towards Killzone 2. sorry.
BTW it's 2:30 AM and I could be just cranky too.
