The one thing I ask is for Insomniac to bump up the intensity as far as what happens in the campaign. There were no memorable experiences for me in the first game (besides maybe the last level), and while the gameplay mechanics and production value were solid, that really soured the experience for me.

Uh, what?

they did 20v20 awesomely, i am ready to see what they can do with 30v30, and all these squad class systems theyre trying to do.

Also, absolutely everything about London was epic, not just the last battle. The shootout at the church with the hundreds of crawlers. The first battle with a Titan 1 on 1. First fight with a Stalker. On top of that the first Widowmaker Fight, and the bridge in london where you fight 2 Stalkers then a widowmaker without so much as moving to another building.

There was a lot of memorable stuff in them. Plus the story behind the story with all of the intel, the Cloven, and the black ops.

I am crazy excited for this one.

The fact that I didn't remember about those parts until you just mentioned them further proves to me that they weren't memorable in the least.

Wtf does that even mean -- that I like J-RPGs? Um, okay, and this makes Insomniac's output any less forgettable... how?

LOL. When I first saw this, I thought this was Killzone 2.

The features the game offers sounds interesting. I'm curious to see how this pans out, especially the 8-player co-op campaign.

I rented Resistence 1 and I'm kinda with Brand X on this. I was left unimpressed. I never even played 25% of it. I should give it another try.

The firefights just didn't seem to do anything for me. The enemies seemed to take too many bullets and the new guns you got along the way never seemed to pack any more punch.

This premise of this game and the demise of HD DVD have finally got me headed towards the purchase of a PS3. Now I just need an offer I can't refuse.

Eight-player online co-op is hot. Four-player co-op on one TV would also be hot, so here's hoping.

As for 60-player versus, nothing seems too big after my days with Planetside, they need to try and recreate that in one of these shooters instead. Rolling with a party of about 80 people all in tanks, hoverjets, jeeps and shit assaulting bases that have 100+ people inside... those were awesome times.

But regular stuff with 60 people is cool too. Hopefully the rest of it will be good enough to convince me to fire up that portion this time around. And who's Rachel? Was she the narrator?

I still don't. What's a Widowmaker? Are those the Matrix Sentinel things or one of those bigger spider tanks? I think there were bigger spider tanks. I know they talked about them and had them in a picture during a cutscene, but I don't remember if they ever took part in the game.

Last fall's fps blitz will probably leave it looking pretty dated, but the first 25% of the game is really bland, it gets a lot more interesting later on.

That's definitely not true, you get some really interesting weapons along the way (I loved the hailstorm). That said, I did stick with the human weapons for much of the game although the bullseye & auger are pretty much mandatory for the situations where you're grossly outnumbered.

The GI article said "2 player local" so I don't think that's happening.

The Bullseye (if that's the one w/ the homing tracking beacon) is what I used nearly 95% of the game. It pretty much wrecked anyone a second or 2 once you got that beacon on someone. Plus you didn't even need to come out of cover to kill anyone.
