Resistance 2 Off-Line Co-Op?!?!

So I just got R2 and the single player is effin amazing. But when my buddies came by to play the "3 player co-op" I thought the game had, all we could do was play 2 player. Is there a way around this or do we have to all buy PS3's to enjoy this co-op mode?

Another question, so when we played 2 player it was ridiculously hard and looked like some kinda death-match game with xp points and such. (Probably really fun with 8 people I know, but...) Even if there is no way to play 3-player off-line co-op, why the heck can't we play the 2-player campaign like RMoF? It's either really lame of Insomniac or I'm doing something wrong. Please help if you have any answers or suggestions, even if your answer is YOU'RE SCREWED! hahaha, thanks

P.S. I haven't gotten the R2 1.20 patch yet cuz it wont download to my ps3 for some reason. If you've downloaded the patch and you have the ability to either play 3-player off-line co-op and/or 2 player regular campaign please let me know, this would resolve my problem.

2 player co-op 4 story= gone :cry:

i would tell ur friends 2 buy a ps3 cause 4 online co-op u really need ur own screen otherwise u wont enjoy it

The game only allows 2-player splitscreen. So your friends will have to take turns. My suggestion: pick your best friend and play splitscreen online.

Insomniac didn't include Campaign co-op because they added an entire new co-op mode that supports up to 8 players online.

No, 2 Player off-line co-op is a part of R2. However, the only way to play with 3 or more is on-line. However, I think you can have 2 players on the same machine and play with others on-line...Panthermattnyc

Yeah - still a max of 2 people per PS3.

anyone else notice how hard split screen 2 player coop is? its getting easier because im leveling up but for some reason my brothers character keeps going back to level 1 every time we start a new game.. whats up wit dat?

Thats lame. Does it have 4 player offline splitscreen? and online?Wiiingssbb

Unfortunately no. However, you can do 2 people splitscreen for both competitve (online) and cooperative (online and offline).

If you have a big enough TV and a good internet connection, both splitscreen online co-op and splitscreen online competitive are a blast to play.

Im loving the game!

Just wondering why player 2 isnt keeping his level in offline coop..

wow some of you are never happy are you? they put time into making a completely different storyline to give more re-playability, while offering a split screen experience that most games this gen already don't offer especially since you can team up with 6 other people on line and still keep the split screen going, and SOMEHOW it still is not good enough for you. holy freaking crap. longhorn7

It's not like it's hard to allow two people to play through the campaign. It would have been simple for them to allow a 2player co-op campaign, where insomniac screwed up is the didn't think about how lame the co-op mode would be with ONLY two people. Least let us play three players on one screen, three classes = three players right? WTF were they thinking. Look, I'll be honest, I'm stoked about the 8 player on-line co-op for myself, but what I enjoyed most about RFoM and other games like Gears is a friend can come over and we can set the game to super-hard, blow through it, and have a great couple nights. What they SHOULD have done is simply allowed two people to play through this great campaign or, if that's somehow impossible to make happen, allow freakin 3 player OFF-line co-op. How hard could that really be? Don't they know people have 60" TV's that can handle this kinda stuff? Guess not. Truth is, I think they just wanted people to buy more PS3's cuz PS is hurting in the console wars.

This gen is depressing in that way, i mean i want to interact with buddys when they come over, not just go like "hey go to your house so we can play resistance 2 ONLINE", its like they want us to be less social... BlocChaser

Exactly, and what about those few that don't have the ability to get on-line. What about those people who live in the middle of Wyoming or something, so they don't get to play co-op at all? If you've played the co-op off-line you'll know that it's pointless playing with just two people. You need ALL three cla$$es, bar-none. Least they could have done if they can't have a 2 Player campaign mode was to allow 3 friends to play co-op on one tv. I have a 60" TV, we'd probably be able to play with four players and still have a good time. All I have to say to conclude this is ridiculousness is, "Great Game Insomniac! but way to eff up my favorite part of RFoM, a two player co-op that's actually fun." Thank god for Gears2, xbox exclusives never let you down.

So the new co-op campaign doesn't have a good story or something??urio1

It's more like no story and completly different game play. Very hard, and you have to level up like an RPG. It's totally meant for 8 people, and I'm sure its fun. But it's not good for 2 player co-op.

Resistance 2's online co op is freaking awesome . and thats why I would give it a 10 because it is a impactfull game in multiplayer FPS games

ok i have a different question all togther, my playstation wont download the 1.20 update for resistance 2, i know the problem, when the ps3 updates a game it exits out of the game and begins downloading but the problem there is that my ps3, when ever it exits out of any game/demo it loses connection and logouts, therefore i cant download the whole thing because the connection is lost sumwhere in the middle. please help me with my problem, its happened in the past and i dont know how to fix it, i payed 80 bucks for this game and now i cant even download a stupid update. please help me.Gubitz

If you know someone else with the game, after they dl the update, they can transfer it to a flash drive and you can copy it to your system.
