I thought R2 was a great game… the only things i can ask that they change or add are:

Maybe some better graphics (like Killzone 2)
2-4 person splitscreen for online and campaign

thats really it… i like the story, liked everything about R2 really… but adding those 2 things will make R3 game of the year and will definately give Halo Reach a run for its money.

I didn’t really read much on here. But I totally agree with cizzlesdrunk, but also to add that the ingame party setup was better. On the old rfom forums, there were tons of posts about what most people wanted added and not taken away, yet the game came out and the stuff they didn’t want changed was changed and more noob tools were added. Rfom stood out, R2 blended in.

ive noticed people talking about how r2 took some halo game sceanery type things….. REALY? halo is a lame excuse to buy the shltbox so ppl say stuff bout r2 and r1 games. insomniac was made to b 4 sony not for the f4g consel and if u ask me its rare to find a 30v30 gm thats good… ppl just aint up 4 a challenge so they want things easy… phht and any person who disagrees is a dumb 8 year old gamer who goes by a subject called r2 not as good as r1 … i bet i culd make a subject r2 bettr thn r1 and agre

I think that the arc charger and dragon really need to be put into the third game. they were my favorite guns in the first and they were wiped clean out of the second!! Also bringing back the co-op campaign feature would be great. the side story for co-op in the second game kinda sucked. it was way more fun when you could go through campaign with a friend.

co-op split screen mode off line!!! How else am I to keep my marriage together if I can’t play split screen (off line) co-op mode with my husband?!!! It’s the only thing keeping us together!! JK, but seriously, the RFOM1 was awesome, so many days filled with killing aliens, together as a family…it was a team building experience..then RFOM2 came out and fucked it all up…with limited co-op mode….totally sucked.

Oh.. single player on R1 was much better with one thing i loved … the AI was awsome! The chimera were relentless, the ran at you, chased you out of rooms… in r2 they just stand there or do their set routs.
I really would love to see 2 R3 on 2discs.
One just for online and one just for campaign. The campaign (with online co-op of up to ..say 6-8 players). with no classes or anything… just 4 Nathan Hale-like soldiers from R1 going through a massive story.
And the online for up to 40 players with all sorts of different game modes to play on loads of different maps. Hopefully having 2 discs means that every aspect of the game will be at its best where i found in R2 that they tried to cram too much onto the one disc and that everything was only half done and rushed

I really dont see how R2 is better then R1 lol.
I played 6k + online rounds on R1 but got over R2 in under 1k.
The game sucked from go, these are some of the things i found to ruin the game. (personally i think they should re-do R2 completly)

1.No weapon wheel / 2weps at a time.
2. they ruined the health bar system
3. the weapons in general – took away some realy good weps and changed the ones they kept to work in a completly different / crud way
4. The storyline was completly different (obviously the fundamentals were there but Nathan was no longer a lone soldier – I dont like how he turns at the end – things were added to be “epic” like flying onto one of the ships and blowing it up – but to me it felt … it was nothing special)
5. The boss battles – OMG all SOOO boring and tedious.
6. Online was bad, so bad. 60 players was too much. 40 was fine. The team death-matches felt like there was 2 teams of 30 one-man-armys instead of 2 teams working together like r1 had)
7. Co op was fun but sucked at the same time. Id much prefer 4player co op on the R1 story with no classes and ofcourse – on a much bigger scale.
8. Berserks are so gay. So unfair and ruin gameplay.
9. graphics were not good at all. A rendered R1 would have been much better – i hate how ppl complained R1 was grey and dull! Its meant to be like that! it shows what the chimera have done to the world ffs.
10. online – so much better when every1 starts with the carbine – fair – the gun kills you quicker when you shoot them in the head where in r2 – u will kill the other player if u start shooting 1st – dumb – means people will camp and kill you b4 u know what happend.
11. one thing i do like about r2 is the new gigantic enemies – but their needs to be more inventive ways to kill them.
12. weapons that work differently – It makes no sense how the sequal – they make the weapons worse instead of improving them lol – ie the carbine holds less bullets / 40 mills. tagging is harder. everything about the laark etc etc.
13. New weapons all made for newbs. the wraith… hate it hate it hate it. the shields for wraith and auger are unpenatrable. marksman… the orbs OMG… nothing worse then being killed by orbs.
14. matchmaking was the worst i have ever seen in any game. sometimes you end up playing against 10 vs 1 – and thats only if you can find a game without it closing before it starts.
15. No in game friends list / ignore list / message systems. I know that the psn has its own but its just not as good. The ignore list is a must for me. So you dont end up playing the same lagging japs over and over.

Man i could go on untill i made 100… but you should all get my point by now. R2 Is strait up garbage. R3 better be made and be made like a re rendered verion of R1 with new inventive weps / maps / and it will be a game worth playing.

Bring back offline campaign split-screen as well as online split-screen!

i think that Resistance 3 should bring back the campaign co-op, aswell as make the boss battles less stream lined. for each of the boss battles, when ever i replayed Resistance 2, i did the same thing i did the first time around for all the boss battles, so i think that they need to find a way to try and make the bosses more adaptive to the players technics, and make it a unique experiance everytime that you play through the game. and bring back the grainy, narrated cut scenes, they helped feel like the game was based not in the present.

The things that would have made Resistance 2 better in my opinion are:the weapon wheel just like in reistance fall of man.resistance fall of man had a feeling to the weapons that was really good,but in resistance 2 it was not the same.the weapon reticle for the carbine wasnt good at all,i couldnt even aim with it.for this reason the carbine went from being my favorite weapon in resistance fall of man to my least favorite in resistance 2. I didnt like that for some reason when you walked the weapon reticle got larger,couldnt they just have left it like in resistance fall of man.I also did not like the way in which theweapons zoomed,unlike resistance fall of man which was nice.also the game needed anarrator.Resistance 2 had good things though,like the places and it had intensity whe facing the chameleons.I also liked the chyanged to the bullseye and bullseye mark 2.everything else was allright

Bring back the weapon system of the original and make the story more epic and captivating also like the original. The level environments were better in the second one but it certainly didn’t have the same feeling

In one line i seen in this article I seen that i strongly disagree with.

“Even though Resistance 2 is clearly a better game than the first Resistance”

I believe this not to be the case. The story in the second resistance was weak and underwhelming. Whereas the first was a great game, great story that was strong in every possible way. It kept you going through the game and every point of the game kept you focused. Half way through the story in the second I was bored and couldnt be bothered with it at all.

The MAIN thing that Resistance Fall of Man was known for was online. Now people have said on both sides of the console “war” that RFoM is the best lobby/chat system that they have ever seen on console. They perfected it with partys, Squads and great custom match set up. Not only that but the gamplay of FoM was absolute immense online. It was a great arcade shooter. The “Weapon Wheel” was absolute immense and smooth and everything else fell into play. It was great game and CTF was one of the best game modes for it as it sparked to life. Resistance 2 failed online. Am I the only one that can see that it copied Call of Duty 4?

For example:

Look at the guns, the “Marksmen” is just basically the M16. Its a carbon coppy.. 3 burst shot with great range. Only thing different is the sight that it has.

Moving on, Resistance 2 installed “classes” which once again is a carbon copy of Call of Duty 4. It wasnt as sophisticated as CoD4. However along with the “classes” system came along CoD4’s worst feature. Perks. Now they had the perk (which i cant remember its name) Something along the lines of “Life” was the classic Juggernaught of CoD4. This is obviously gaming enemy and thus destroying Resistance 2 online.

All in all, RFoM is the better game by far. And if Insomniac dont fix the online back to the way it was… It will fail again. Its down to them to make the game right.
