More Saturated Colors FTW
Better UI FTW
Way to go, Insomniac. You've delivered yet another killer app. Co-Op is seriously the greatest thing to come out of this game. So unique, so damn fun. I'm not hugely keen on 60 player multi from the death match I've played, but I need to give the skirmish mode a shot.
Question for jstevenson, are there any other enemies in the co-op portion?
With this, LittleBigPlanet, and Gears 2 coming out in such a short period of time....too much fun, too little time
what about lightning? what about those marevolous backgrounds? looks awesome.

game sharing
Well i just played a little at 4AM before leaving to work...my impressions:
The UI
The UI is super slick ,is really fast ,you have a lot of info and its easy to understand, looks like the Insomniac guys put a good effort on the UI and it pays.
The game...
I just played a 'small' team deathmatch of 10.
I havent tried coop yet i played on two chicago levelss ,the subway and the docks...
My only worry with R2 was the speed... but that worry vanished right away , is faster than COD4 and slower than R1 .R1 was way too fast for me, i cant control it .
R2 is exactly how i like it
The graphics are top notch, the sound is amazing (Guys, really play it with a good audio device) BUT the best feature is this : FUN
Its the most fun FPS i ever played , the weapons are a blast, the feeling when you shoot every weapon is great , you can see easily when you hit a enemy , the XP points text doesnt interfer with the gameplay. and the HUD doesnt interfer too .
Either way i was gonna get R2 as soon as i can ,but the beta make me realize that R2 is gonna have a long life (R1 is still played by a lot of people).
Congratulations to Insominac for their best game to date you should very proud guys.
So... im at work now, hope to see you later guys to play some co-op from what ive read from you co-op is amazing.
Cheers.
EDIT: Removed a lot of ',' i use too many.

You can forget about that on GAFFacism said:this is where i hope those few spare lbp codes i gave to xintin and the like are remembered
Glad people seem to be enjoying the co-op. Can you do splitscreen in the beta?
I gave away 8 SOCOM Keys and 2 LBP keys to GAF and that got me nothing Actually they even removed my name from the KZ2 keyless list. That's how awesome GAF is sometimes. :lol:

Not gonna lie; hardly anything impresses me anymore after witnessing KZ2 first hand.
That said, R2 looks very good.

It's pretty hard to get hold of R2 keys though. Heck, even people who should have them don't.
Every gaming site under the sun was giving out socom and LBP keys. I just wish they were giving out R2 keys as well.
Anyway. Can I have key plox?

Wait a little longer guys !
I want to say one thing to make your wait a little easier :
THE GAME IS AWESOME ,MOST FUN I EVER HAD WITH A FPS ... hope that helps
I can't say I was overly impressed with the graphics, a lot of things still looked static but there's a great deal of detail and the maps are pretty damn huge and very well designed. It's a good looking game, but it didn't blow me away in this regard.
But... it's just so much fun, every weapon is awesome and useful. Usually when I get a MP game I stick to one weapon set and class because there's little need to swap out and frankly I don't like the hassle of learning each weapons uses. With R2 though there are times when you need crowd control (hello thar Bellock) or long distance sniping (Fareye!) and times when you just want to be sadistic (that magnum with the explosive rounds!). All the weapons are easy to get a feel for and their use is intuitive.
Overall, I hesitate to say best MP I've ever played (new car smell and all that) but it's a damn fun time. I too was worried it'd be to fast and twitchy, but they captured a balance between CoD 4's speed and R1 that's simple bliss.
Highlights:
Being able to spring forever - so awesome
Water physics - just shoot it and you'll see what I mean
Grenades - not over powered, not useless, just right
Crimson giblets
Interface - so damn smooth and responsive, and wealth of info at your fingertips
Stats, XP etc - more addictive than CoD4 in this regard, every bullet that hits gives you XP
Lowlights:
Crough and sprint are on the same button, so there are times when you want to get the heck outta dodge and end up just sitting there to take the pain. Alternatively you might want to crouch and prevent a smaller target but end up wildly charging your foe.
Fire. sucks.
R2's gone from "will pick up eventually" to "gmust get gnow!"
Also, it really should be a demo, it's so damn polished.
EDITED for clarity.

Where do we report bugs and glitches? myresistance.net?
In coop, does friendly fire hurt?
I'm confused about the leveling system. I remember Ted saying the easiest way to level up would be to play all three modes. I inferred that he meant that XP would count across all modes, but when I went from coop to competitive, my XP was at 0. So is there any impact of XP between the modes?

There is definitely some form of leveling, because I got to level 2 in both coop and competitive (but the points did not count across the game types).
I've read a lot of good things about the User Interface here, which is a big relief. I have a personal interest in menu systems. R1 had a really crappy menu: big ugly buttons and poor organization.
For anyone interested, there has been some great progress made in the field of menu design this gen: Colin McRae DiRt, Burnout Paradise v1.5, and GT5 for starters.

R2 UI is really polished ,clear and 'elegant'
<3EDIT:I started caring on the 'UI', when i had to code a crossplatform GUI system for my work. Ie: buttons,scrollbars,checkbox,menues,etc,etc.
Wow! That's all I have to say. I'm heading out for awhile, but all I want to do is play R2. I knew from the get go I'd play this more than anything else this Christmas, but now when Gears hits 3 days later I may rush through the campaign to go straight back to R2. I don't know what they put in the water there at IG, but my god you guys just keep doing a phenomenal game after another phenomenal game. You guys really are in the top 3 devs in the world no question about it.

R2 is exactly how i like it
And that sounds exactly what I would hate. R1's speed was perfect, as far as the campaign was concerned, the online multiplayer side was and is of no interest to me.
