Resistance 3 multiplayer

Resistance 3 features a multiplayer mode for up to sixteen players. The multiplayer features twelve maps that are set in locations around the world and five game modes. It also includes a customizable progression system where players spend points earned by playing online to unlock customized loadouts that include various tactical and combat attributes. It features twelve maps that are set in locations around the world. Unlike in Resistance 2, there is no 8-player co-op. Instead it features a 2-player cooperative mode to play through the story mode either online or split-screen.

A multiplayer beta was released featuring two playable maps and allowing players to upgrade their characters until level thirty, in order not to reveal all features and abilities. On August 30, 2011 the beta was released to non-PlayStation Plus subscribers. The beta ended on September 4.

The Resistance 3 servers have since closed on April 8, 2014.

Cooperative Mode

The 2-player co-op features a second playable protagonist, John Harper. Though Harper's presence changes some scripted dialogues in the story, he is not featured in the cinematic cutscenes.

• Locating Your Partner: Partners appear as a glowing outline on the screen whenever they are located behind a wall. The outline will reflect how much health the partner has: Green for 50% or more health, yellow if their health drops below 50%, orange if it drops further to below 25% and red for downed.
• Calling Your Partner: Pressing the d-pad down will call out to the partner. This causes an objective mark on their character, calling their partner's attention to their current location.
• Wounded State: When either player's health is fully depleted, they enter a wounded state. They can be revived by having their partner get close enough to press and hold for a small period of time. There is a limited window of time before a wounded player bleeds out completely, causing them to die and the checkpoint to reload. Wounded players are able to pick up Sym-Bac canisters to heal themselves. They can also crawl, but they are unable to use weapons. However, if both players enter a wounded state, the last checkpoint automatically reloads.
