Competitive Mode

Competitive Mode is Resistance 2's on-line multiplayer system, in which you can play ranked games, custom games, and customize your character for online play. You can Level Up via ranked games, which unlocks you new features to customize your player.

Ranks
Ranks are what you earn by getting certain amounts of Experience Points, but they also tie in with your Co-op Experience Points as well, but ranks are more intended for Competitive Mode. You Rank Up by getting EXP and filling in a star (the stars are to the left of your rank). Every time fill a star, you go up a number (I.E. 3 to 4, or 8 to 9). After you fill in all the stars (three stars in all), you need to get more EXP, and then you rank up. The ranks are as follows:


 * Level 1 - Private
 * Level 4 - Private First Class
 * Level 7 - Corporal
 * Level 10 - Sergeant
 * Level 13 - Staff Sergeant
 * Level 16 - Gunnery Sergeant
 * Level 19 - 1st Sergeant
 * Level 22 - Sergeant Major
 * Level 25 - Command Sergeant Major
 * Level 28 - SGT Major of The Army
 * Level 31 - Lieutenant
 * Level 34 - Captain
 * Lever 37 - Major
 * Level 40 - LT Colonel
 * Level 43 - Colonel
 * Level 46 - Brigadier General
 * Level 49 - Major General
 * Level 52 - Lt General
 * Level 55 - General
 * Level 58 - Supreme Commander
 * Level 60 - Supreme Commander Plus 2 PIPs

Unlockables
For Leveling Up (not ranking up) in Competitive Mode, you get an unlockable(s). You Level Up by getting EXP by playing ranked games. The amount of EXP you get is determined by how many kills you get in every gametype. In Skirmish Mode, you get more EXP by completing your objectives. In Meltdown Mode, you get more EXP by capturing beacons.

Unlockables can be used by both Humans and Chimera, depending on what you unlock. You also unlock certain berserks as well. The unlockables are as follows:
