Destined for Autumn 2008, Resistance 2 is a first person shooter from Insomniac Games that will feature 8-player online co-op, and will host up to 60 players online.

Resistance 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Resistance Fall of Man and players will once again step into the war-torn boots of Nathan Hale, who not only faces near impossible odds on the battlefield, but also constantly struggles with the Chimeran virus raging inside his own body.

In addition to the single-player campaign, there will be eight-player, class-based online co-op campaign with a separate, parallel storyline and 60-player online competitive multiplayer built upon a ‘massive battles, greater intimacy’ mantra.

Players can also expect a re-designed MyResistance.net featuring social networking tools designed to enhance a user’s gameplay experience whether they’re engaged in single, co-op or competitive combat

STORYLINE
Picking up immediately where Resistance: Fall of Man concluded, Resistance 2 follows. Nathan Hale as he finds himself once more in a world transformed by war and invasion. Undaunted by their defeat in London, the Chimera have continued to advance, now poised to attack the United States. Entire cities have been leveled and communities annihilated. In this war where the odds are so heavily stacked against the human race, few are left who are willing and able to fight.

Fortunately, Hale is not alone. A group of super soldiers simply known as the Sentinels will fight alongside Hale as they collectively attempt to thwart the inevitable.

It does get better. Much better than Unreal 2, i remember the hype for unreal 2, laughable, i had no high hopes when first played this (and 1 1/2 years ago this was all there was to play lol) and was quite surprised, it does get better by the way.

can someone just explain why, after getting into a big tank and stomping about in it for a bit, you'd abandon it on a level boundary? isn't a tank somethign you'd generally keep?

If i can remember rightly the first time you get to use a stalker is just before you get to the chimeran tunnels at bristol, and that's why you cant use it anymore because your going into tunnels. Other than that the stalkers not made for cobbled streets??
