Resistance 2 to feature 8 player co-op and 60 player multiplayer
January 14th, 2008 
A whole swag of Resistance 2 news has hit the net, all of it being very exciting if it lives up to its promises. The game will feature two campaigns, one for single player and the other for co-op play. It is unclear at this stage if they will very different or if it will simply mean a few more enemies and minor changes to make the multiplayer experience more natural. Co-op mode brings some exciting firsts in game mechanics by allowing 2 player split screen for local play and a staggering 8 player co-op for online play. We aren’t sure if the game will allow for a 4 system with 2 players on each mode of play but expect more news on the nitty gritty shortly.
On the multiplayer front the game will support up to a massive 60 players per game. This huge player capacity isn’t limited to simple deathmatch either, with some multiplayer modes dividing participants into 4- to 8-player squads each with their own virtual lobby. The squads will receive individual objectives to give a real sense of purpose to every player involved. Currently there are 3 basic classes: heavy weaponry, special ops and medic.
Developer Insomniac have also promised a stat tracking database on myresistance.net and faster matchmaking than any game of the past year.
