So I was reading a little snippet about Resistance 2 in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly and it mentioned that the game now limits you to 2 weapons at a time. I find this a bit of a step backwards because I thought allowing the gamer to have a large selection of weapons was a real strong point. By having a larger selection of weapons the player is granted more options when dealing with different in game situations. Furthermore there are certain weapons I might not of used(like the Sapper and Hailstorm) if it meant sacrificing a more powerful weapon.

I'm not saying that this makes the game a deal breaker and that I'm not going to buy it but I just seems like they're trying to emulate Halo 3 and for any of you who have played it you know that there are certain weapons that you never use just because it's not worth sacrificing other weapons.

So what are your views? Do you think that the first one was better or will only having to guns at a time make the game better?

That's one of the things that made this game so unique, all the weapon selections. They should of just left that system alone, it was perfect.

I kind of agree with you. In a title like this I don't really care about "realism". I wanna be able to carry a s***load of guns. This game is more arcade-y than a lot of other FPSs. You're right, it's a bit disappointing to hear that. The game'll still kick ass. I guess we'll just need a bit more strategy this next time around.

Not really...there were usually 3 or 4 guns you mostly used anyways. There is more depth of strategy added to already nice, fast gameplay.

Call of Duty is...Arcadeyy, if you will. lol. And it opts you to only 2 weapons at a time. But yeah, I agree. The old system was perfectly fine.

Insomniacs know for creating awesome weapons and all the diff weapon types you can carry. im kind of sad about this but i still think the game will do good.
