Resistence 2 VS COD5?

[darkprince]

So which 1 are you going to pick among the two titles, first?

If it weren't for my budget i would have gotten both from amazon now.

PS: any1 know how to edit the Poll? =S

[Setz]

I'm getting neither any time soon, but if it came down to those two games I'd probably go for CoD:WaW.

[MrKat]

neither, both are generic run of the mill FPS that we've seen 345853 times already.

[GreenTiger]

In my opinion both kind of suck ... if I were to make a choice ... I'd say CoD5 since R2 doesn't seem to require much strategy.

Buy Farcry 2 + LBP :D

[thechampion116]

I'm picking up Resistance 2 for sure. I loved the first game and I loved COD4 but I'm not really interested in exploring normal WWII anymore.

Plus, the co-op is gonna be great (offline and online). I can play online with some friends and my sister actually likes Resistance, so thats some 2 player co-op right there. I know single player and multiplayer campaigns are different so its double the fun, double the experience.

I'm interested in online as well because of 60 player squad based gameplay. It will be a first for me on any console so I'm sure I will enjoy. Plus, the game counteracts the craziness of LBP.

I also prefer Sony first party games especially from good developers over third party games where PS3 is delegated to the being the port.

Resistance 2 looks nothing like I expected from the videos I've seen. Well actually, some look nice, while others don't. I don't have either console and will most likely get the 360 this weekend, but I have a friend with a resistance 2 pre-order. I personally think COD5 will be much better, unless resistance is different when I try it.

CoD5 uses the COD4 engine plus I've played on the beta for both and I found CoD5 more fun.

[Sheky]

R2.

COD5 sounds like ass. I didn't know they had UAV and silencers for troops back then. They had an opportunity to show their worth and make a real FPS but instead made a COD4 mod with WWII skins. No thanks.

[Emancipated]

COD5 may not be historically accurate but it's the better of the two for sure. I couldn't stomach the soft, plasma shooting effects of Resistance. It was my first game on the PS3 when I picked it up near launch and Motorstorm was not my cup of tea. Anyway, needless to say most of the games in the PS3 library just didn't and still doesn't stack up. I skipped BiA:HH but I may pick up Airborne later. The demo was fun and a little mroe reminiscent of the original MoH: Allied Assault which started the whole FPS craze for me. Counter-what?

I would go with Resistance 2. This time around they are adding 60 player online and 8 player coop. They are also adding in classes so online will be extensive. Single player should be good too considering the bosses that are now included and many more weapons were added. COD5, however is made from a different team that made COD4 and are using the same engine as COD4. The game won't be much better than COD4 graphically but they added more weapons and added vehicles to online.

Resistance 2 100%, 2 campaigns, 60 dudes to kill im multi player, lots of replay value and a story thats pretty cool. Graphics are great too, i dont see why you would get COD5 over it (which looks cool too btw just not as good) when resistance is just a better overall product.

although the dog perk sounds absolutely amazing!

The dogs are insane. Almost nowhere to hide. I still can't get a handle on killing 'em.

dont the respawn too if youkill them?

[Viper98]

I'll get both
but if I had to choose it would be Resistance 2

just played the MP beta for about an hour and it was a blast

seems much more optomized than the COD WAW beta
but we'll see how they stack up upon release

[Super strokey]

Woot just got my resistance beta code!

[Unicron]

i want to try COD 5 before making decision

i just tried the R2 beta and was sort of unimpressed

the animations look like crap (looks like everybody is ice skating around), graphics were alright and weapons meh .... There was a ton of things on the screen at one time though on cooperative, that was impressive

I really like Battlefield bad company for PS3, that's my favourite game right now and the weapons for that game feel perfect

[Phr3sh]

I guess this isn't much of a choice for 360 owners...but can you flamethrower people in R2?

[sfu_lifer]

One thing that annoyed me with R series is the feeling I'm playing Halo in WW2 and I'm not a big Halo fan. The sounds of some of the enemies are eerily close to some of the baddies in Halo.
Also, I dunno if it's my internet or not but I'm having a hard time getting in games. It says 6/8 or 5/8 and it'll tell me game full. Even some 3/8's and I still can't get in.

Same here i hate the Halo series. At least the main character is not named "Master" <WTF>, its Hal from "Married with the Chimera", no wait that's Al.

Im sure its a server issue, the load last night would have been huge

[Ahzuz]

I'd have to try both before saying anything.

Anyone has COD5 codes ? PM me

thanks

It really surprises me that people are actually passing judgement on a beta.

i think it's fair to past judgement after the Socom beta fiasco

the final product turned out to be just as problematic as the beta

I'm not saying the Resistance 2 beta is problematic like Socom but hasn't Resistance 2 already gone gold?

how much can change from this to the final product?

It may be gone gold but that would have been just a little while ago if at all. The version that you are playing is liek 2 months old and as a result it far different from what you will be playing in the end.

Also to compare slant 6 with insomniac isnt the wisest way to proceed as they always produce good games and rarely disappoint. Resistance 2 will be better than what you see here i can garantee it. Just look around and see what all teh webpages are saying about it. The beta has been vastly vastly improved on.

I would seriously doubt we will see any improvements that matter over the beta

aside from graphics
I'm hoping the graphics are just bad because they haven't finished them yet.......... otherwise I very well may cancel my preorder just because I don't like my eyes bleeding from atrocity anymore

Go and read some sites about teh changes, if you dont like what you read and the differences then cancel your order then.

[thechampion116]

the beta is using an OLD Build to test the servers and it seems these servers are alot better than Socom's.

Don't compare Slant Six to Insomniac, everyone knows which one is better.

take it with a grain of salt.

OPM UK gave Resistance 2 9/10. It lost a point because they weren't able to try the MP except for this beta.

OPM UK gave Resistance FOM a 7/10.

[ashs]

i dont care for the setting in COD5, World War games are getting old. I doubt ill get resistance as i still have to beat the 1st one.

[Sheky]

Played some R2 MP beta last night. Not really impressed.

I'm not even going to count the so so graphics against them. It's 60 players so it's gotta take a hit somewhere. But I just don't find the mechanics to be that great.

Gameplay felt really arcady to me. I don't feel like I'm gliding through the map regardless of the terrain type. Did not like the haxor guns at all. And I LOLed when I saw a crosshair on the pistol when I used the ironsite. I think someone missed the point...

Although I did like the nice little touches like being able to map the WHOLE pad (are you taking notes Slant 6??), the push to talk button for mics, and having secondary fire on all guns. It's the little things like this that impressed me.

BUt it DOES feel like Halo, which I don't care for. I never played the first Resistance but I was expecting something grittier. I don't think I'll even play the competitive MP when I get this.
