Well for myself i liked MAG more. Resistance single-player was meh, same thing with multiplayer.

MAG multiplayer was great. I remember the day when it came out, so many players. It was great, big map, big team work and stuff like that... it had big potential but PS3 limited a lot. I guess now on PS4 it would be great.

Resistance series sucks although frist game was semi decent.

MAG was one of the best MP games I've played in years, took ages to get the platinum....

MAG was great and one of the few MP games this last then truly worth investing time into. A 256 player match between two skilled OICs and their platoon leaders was something to behold. Nothing out there like it.

Hopefully we'll get a sequel of sort on the PS4.

SVER for the majority of my time with the game. Although I did have characters in VALOR and RAVEN as well.

Resistance, that's for sure.

Loved playing online on it. I spent a crazy amount of time on it.

MAG was pretty awful. Probably the only game I have ever purchased that I brought back the following day. Generally I'm a good judge of quality, but I failed myself that time.

MAG. I loved that game. Once you're into it, it's hard to let go.

Yeah I'd definitely say so, especially in the first few months. It wasn't so much that SVER was a better faction but the maps on which they defended on Domination and Sabotage had an advantage. Not a huge one mind you, as a semi-coordinated team could take them down, but it was noticeable enough that the Shadow War contracts started stacking up quite frequently in SVER's favor.

I remember a few times playing as VALOR attacking SVER's Absheron Refinery on Domination and getting completely obliterated during the first set of objectives.

Later on it was more balanced but by that time, with Shadow War contracts stacking up and good players migrating over to SVER because of the advantage, it was still a bit skewed in SVER's favor.

Love R2's multipayer.

Loved R3's single player, one of the best for an FPS.

I liked MAG, but once i started getting into it and actually understanding the thousands of things that were going on all over the plce, my profile got reset and I didnt feel like starting all over again.

If SONY where to make either a new Resistance of a MAG for the PS4, it would be hard for me to just chose one.

I want a MAG2 on the PS4 (Theres is Planet Side 2, but thats SciFi stuff)

I'm not going to vote because i enjoyed them both.

I loved the first Resistance over MAG but MAG over the Resistance sequels.

Resistance was one of our go to coop games over the gen. Blasted through that game probably 5 times.

I didn't play a lot of multiplayer in Resistance, but the multiplayer in Resistance 2 is awesome, especially the co-op.

@Assassin_87:

Well you improperly judged it then. Blame zipper for not properly showing the game to newcomers. The team deathmatch sucked but was more of a training tool. Sabotage was decent but the game did not shine until you played domination which wasn't unlocked until level 8. After doing that , it took a few days to even understand how to play. After that, it became one of the best shooters I have ever played. It's really unfortunate you didn't give it a chance.

I prefer Planetside 2. Shame about Mag though, I do like it when a game tries to be ambitious

hard to chose because they were completely different kind of games. It's like choosing between a cake or a stake...
