Heya, it’s been a while since I’ve been seen around these parts as James Stevenson, Bryan Intihar and the others at Insomniac have been doing most of the Resistance 2 posting as of late. Along with my return to the blog, I bring a few announcements with regards to R2:
- Today, October 16th, the public beta for Resistance 2 will begin in North America. The beta will offer gamers a glimpse at Resistance 2’s online competitive and co-op modes ahead of the game’s launch on November 4th. We will be admitting players in two waves: a Premiere wave which includes those that pre-ordered at GameStop, individuals who subscribed to QORE for one year and/or bought the episode featuring Resistance 2 and a recent contest from GamePro.com. Those of you in the Premiere wave should be receiving an email with a registration code between now and tomorrow afternoon. A second wave is starting in the middle of next week, and you apply to be a part of it by going to beta.myresistance.net once the site goes live (later tonight). For those of you across the pond in Europe, the public beta will also begin next week.
- The Beta will include competitive maps from three locations in the game. These maps include 60-, 40-, and 20-player maps from Orick, 40- and 20-player maps from Chicago, and the 10-Player map Sub Docks (Bay Area). New modes Skirmish and Core control will be supported, along with Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. The co-op portion of the beta will focused on Orick, and will support randomization of your play-path. Both co-op and competitive will support matchmaking and class/character progression up to level 10. This will allow unlocking of new equipment, upgrades and berserks for character customization.
- Speaking of beta.myresistance.net, the beta version of our new community site goes live tonight as well. Customizable leader boards/user profiles, individual blogs and ‘ticker’ that provides players with up to minute information of happenings on the site are just some of the features the beta site has to offer. Leading into the November 4th North American launch of the game (and the months to follow), we’ll be adding several more features that will make MyResistance.net the destination for all Resistance fans.
- And, finally, Resistance 2 has gone gold. As a special treat, the below image gives all of you PlayStation Blog readers an idea on just how big just the online coop campaign mode is :)
That’s all for now. Keep your eyes open for more R2 announcements as we lead into launch. If you have any questions, write them in the comments sections and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Please note that you had to buy QORE during the period where the beta was being offered as an incentive over the summer.

Okay, but what if we bought Episode 3 right when we came out, aren’t a annual subscriber, AND haven’t received it?
Thanks for your help. Sorry if I sound desperate. But I am.
Hey Mr. Phillips. I noticed that you just posted. I was wondering if you read my post at the end of page 5. If you did I would love to hear a response from you as to what I should do next. Again, I thank you for helping me out only because this is my first time posting on here (or anywhere else) and was just very surprised that you replied back to me :)
Sorry for the double post, but could you tell us where that thread post is located? I can’t seem to find it…
I made an account soloy for the perpose of reosurence and yes i am very sorry greg philips to have to put up with us all but we are paying customers. Are there still Pre-order codes being sent out? HOw LONG till you get to all of them? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION! Is there any way to message you or anyone else on conferming that we did enter the code by checking with someone that the code is entered under our name but wasnt sent, so that we can re-give you our number to double check?
Wow still i havent got my code pre-ordered and everything.
Patience, IronMan-san, patience. The last Gamespot blast hasn\’t gone out yet :)
