I played a couple of games of co-op last night. It's good fun but the enemies felt pretty brainless.
Also, I swear a few times I got hit (and killed once) by projectiles flying through the geometry.
A few of the choke-points in the level felt cramped with four or five players. I can't imagine how they'll feel with eight.
Still, it was fun, smooth, and pretty.

Good God, I know people are just playing R2 for the first time but I'm assuming they can't be complete FPS multiplayer noobs to have been interested in this beta. SO WHY ARE YOU ALL UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CONCEPT OF AVOIDING FRIENDLY FIRE??
I can't count the number of times someone nonchallantly walked into my line of fire and then *I* get chastised for it with those canned voiceovers.

That happened to me quite a bit.kaching said:
I had taken up a position to one side of one of a soldier who was laying down a shield and suppressing fire. I was a spec-op. The other spec-op kept running in front of me and, consequently, getting shot. I don't know why he kept moving into me either since we had two soldiers forming a shield wall and I was keeping to one side. He had the whole other side to maneuver.

Why does it keep freezing, whenever i go into the game it freezes at the screen with Hale holding the gun infront of the buildings that are on fire.
d0g_bear said: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 GT5for starters.
I don't believe it's as "slick" as Burnout's, but it's very well laid out and responsive. It definitely feels like a smoother experience than R1.

R1's speed was managable for me in campaign, but in multiplayer it was just too quick. I can't speak to what R2's campaign gameplay speed is, but the co-op/multiplayer is perfect.

Does friendly fire actually hurt? I couldn't tell whether it does or you just get the stupid voices as punishment.

Dont think so, it doesnt take me into a lobby or anything or even let me choose what i want to do like co-op or multi.

I was playing co-op last night with strangers. I was the only one on the mic, so when everybody was running around with their heads cut off, I started barking orders. It really worked. People started organizing, and I was getting health and ammo whenever I asked. Managed to level up my soldier.

I created a NeoGAF cooperative room. JOIN UP SOLDIERS!
I enjoyed playing a medic ^^

I didn't fiddle around with creating my own game last night so I don't know if it's a toggle option for the co-op. It didn't seem to actually hurt, but you certainly got yelled at it for it each time you shot a teammate, so I'm assuming it's probably an option in the full game, if not the beta.prodystopian said:

Can't wait to get home an play some more. The beta is fantastic, my interest for R2 has increased like ten-fold.
Fiddled around with my internet connection last night and finally got it working. Man coop is really something awesome. Played through the level with a full party last night with completely random people and when everyone is working together mowing down hordes of enemies it is really fun stuff.

OMG, I'm loving the cooperative play. So awesome when your team works well.
Insomniac REALLY needs to keep co-op maps coming, or at least keep the maps but change the objectives and such so we keep getting new experiences.

In the beta!! I really like being a medic. Stand behind your crew, heal them, and occasionally blast chimera in the dome ftw.

I got the code last night (Surprising). I started the download, but went to bed before it finished. Thanks God for the new power save options because when I woke up everything was off. Anyway ... gonna get some good time in tonight and tomorrow. Can't freaking wait. I like what I'm hearing. The private beta was fun, but this looks so much more polished.

Man, you should do both. Medics are REALLY good at offence too. Specially against titans since you have a steady "stream" of damage. The fact that it does chain damage is helps alot too.Choke on the Magic said:

I'll give it go. I just assumed that medic equaled weak until I saw your screen shot.:lol
Those giant Troll Chimera (official name escapes me at moment) are still little more than giant bullet sponges in this beta build. They're a little more active now, but they still don't move around much, still tend to get stuck on walls. Hopefully that stuff is sorted for the final release. Right now, without being more active opponents, the amount munition you have to pump into them just to take them down is tedious. Maybe that resolves itself as you level up and get access to better equipment, but I'm just hoping at this point.
I also don't much like the way he can apparently fire at you when he's completely facing away from you. Hopefully that's another bug that gets fixed.
