Resistance 2 features multiplayer in two variations: Cooperative and Competitive. Both multiplayer modes track the player's performance, gaining experience points and leading to benefits and rewards, as well as assigning the player a skill ranking. There are tens maps of different sizes (10p, 20p, 40p, 60p) with the player choosing their preference. Custom games also made a return, although unlike Resistance: Fall of Man, players cannot receive XP in custom games. The ranking system is also identical to that of Fall of Man, with players progressing through 20 ranks with three tiers each from private up to supreme commander (making a total of 60 ranks). As some ranks are gained, players receive unlockable rewards such as berserks and skins.

In March 2009, the Aftermath Map Pack DLC adds three new maps and six new skins (Ravager, Cloven, Rachel Parker, a Female Soldier, Black Ops Variation and Ranger Variation.) An accompanying update also introduced Meltdown to the game and also Superhuman Co-Op to the Cooperative Mode.

The Resistance 2 servers have since closed on April 8, 2014.[1]

Cooperative[]

Main article: Cooperative Mode
Specter Team

Specter Team in the Cooperative map Holar Tower.

Unlike its predecessor, Resistance 2 does not offer co-op for the single player campaign. Cooperative mode features a separate campaign mode which runs parallel to the single-player campaign. The cooperative campaign supports anything from two to eight players, taking the role of a special forces group called "Specter Team". Players are tasked with many randomized objectives around the map, while defeating hordes of Chimera in the process. The strength of the enemy forces is altered based on the number of players and their skill levels. There are three classes to choose from: Special Ops - long-distance damage dealers, who also provide ammunition; Soldiers - the "tanks" who deal the most damage; and Medics - who drain life from enemies and impart to teammates.

Competitive[]

Pit Stop3

The map Pit Stop.

Competitive mode features support for up to 60 players at any given time, the highest number of players for any PlayStation 3 online game as of Resistance 2's release. Four games modes are available: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Core Control, Skirmish, and recently released via update, Meltdown, while involved players getting split up into squads of six and take part in objective-based proxy-battles. Players can play as either the Human or the Chimera. Maps have varying sizes and layouts for the different game modes and number of players.
