R2 General Information

Here is the info on the new R2 patch, 1.50 Taken from MyResistance.net

Game on! Tomorrow (March 26) we’ll be bringing you a host of downloadable content for Resistance 2, plus another patch that helps improve the online experience even further (and includes several requests that came from…well, you!). So let’s get right down to it, shall we?

The DLC comes in two forms: new competitive multiplayer maps and character skins. The Aftermath Map Pack features three new battlefields, two set in Twin Falls (Aftermath and Pit Stop) and another in Orick (Outpost). All of the maps support 20-player Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, while Outpost also lets you play 20-player Core Control. The Aftermath Map Pack will be available for download through the PlayStation Store for $5.99.

We also have six new competitive multiplayer character skins. In addition to our usual band of brothers (of the human, Cloven, and Chimeran variety), we even have two selections for our female R2 players. You can download the following skins through the PlayStation Store for $0.99 each: Rachael Parker, Female Soldier, Ravager, Cloven (Retribution model), Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation.

Then we have patch 1.50, or what some on the MyResistance.net forums have been calling the “the big patch.” And it definitely lives up to that nickname—it’s quite substantial. Once you install the patch (the download prompt will come up automatically once you start R2), you’ll now be treated to:

Meltdown Mode: We’ve read the message-board comments. We’ve seen the online petition. You want it? You got it! Patch 1.50 brings back Meltdown, the popular Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer mode in which each team attempts to gain control of the map by capturing beacons.

Superhuman Co-op Mode: Does your eight-man Specter squad possess the skills to survive this all-new difficulty? It features stronger enemies and disables auto-respawning (only another squadmate can revive you), but dishes out bigger rewards (double the Grey Tech and XP per round).

Second PSN Login Support: Your fellow couch potato can now save their character’s multiplayer progress, thanks to the added option to log in with two unique PSN accounts.

But that’s really just the beginning of patch 1.50’s offerings:

•XP balance adjustments for competitive mode
•Announcements screen
•Failsafe save support
•Password protected custom games
•Added ability to “Report” player
•Teams switch sides between Core Control rounds
•Players now automatically go to staging after every competitive or cooperative game (regame)

•New leaderboards
•Map fixes for competitive Chicago level
•Games with Friends and Clan members in them are now highlighted in the “Find Game” screen
•Limited late joining has been added to ranked games
•Deathmatch spawning has been improved
•Players can’t earn progress towards Berserks when they are dead
•Reduced sprint speed of core carrier in Core Control games
•Cooperative XP bonuses have been increased by 30%
•Cooperative games respawn time is now 20 seconds
•Players keep their grenades if they get revived in a cooperative game
•Players now have a “Join Game” option for players on their friends list
•A player’s own name is now in white in the obituary text

Played a quick round of Superhuman. I say quick 'cause I was dead in like 3 seconds lol.

Holy crap it's amazing.

Maybe tonight Steve some of us can go on R2 for a few rounds. I'm going to download the new map packs too.

You know, you guys can share the maps, so just 1 person buy and share it with 5 people.

good point how does that work

I thought I already went over this on the last website, guess not...


For example, let's say Rayman buys the map pack and MP skins for R2 and decided to dig deep down and share it with the likes of thuder, Chrisi, Janie, etc. First, he would have to trust that said person, with his account info (E-mail and Password). Now, the trustee must then create a new user on his/her PS3 by going to the far left on the PS3 start-up screen. The user can be named whatever is desired, it can be deleted in the future. Then, the new user must then go to Playstation Network and it'll immediately prompt you to create a new account, instead go to the bottom of the screen and choose, use existing account. This is where you would input Rayman's info. After it logs you into his account, you then go to account management and go to download list, where you will see whatever Rayman has downloaded. Choose and select whatever you want to download and choose 'Download in Background'. After that, you can exit and sign out of Rayman's account so he can get back to his many hours of playing Resistance and you can rest assured you didn't have to pay $5 for a map pack. When you sign back into your account, you should see the prompted downloads from Rayman's account in your 'Download Management' section.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

US game: download in US store

UK game: download in UK store

if u have a UK game and u would download a map pack in the US store, it wouldn't work. if u share, change ur passwort and after sharing change it back.

mac your sooo smart you could download with pepsi can and string

I done this with my two name one was on my bro's ps, he downloaded skins. I aded user name to my ps, no downloaded skins? so it doesnt always work.

Added user name, then you have to sign into his account and access his download list.....
