Happy days for humans and Chimera alike — the Resistance 2 multiplayer beta has begun!
The beta covers both competitive and cooperative online gameplay for up to 60 players. Competitive multiplayer maps include three locations from the game — Orick, Chicago, and the smaller 10-player map Sub Docks in the San Francisco Bay Area. There is only one cooperative area available, Orick. I played a bit yesterday, and from what I can tell, all modes are mostly full featured, including matchmaking, class and character progressions (up to level 10), and more.
Not in the beta yet? Apparently pre-ordering at GameStop will grant you acess, so hop to it. The game ships on November 4, which is right around the corner, but fans of first-person shooters aren’t going to want to miss a second. Based on what I’ve played so far, things are looking good for Insomniac’s latest.
Check out our recent hands-on preview of all of the game’s modes, including the single-player campaign. Or better yet, I’ll see you online.
