Resistance 2 70 maps multiplayer biggest online game ever?

IGN said on their latest preview that Resistance 2 will feature 70 maps on multiplayer plus tons of new info:

Woah didn't cod4 PS3/360 had only about 20 maps? Biggest online console game ever confirmed, Resistance 2 will be AAA. Get ready Gears 2 because Resistance 2 is coming.

Woah... :shock:

Sometimes its bad to have too much... I don't know why :?

I don't think it's actually 70 maps...I think they said it's a few larger maps that can be carved up into smaller areas for battles with less than 60 players.Teufelhuhn

so......warhawk on steroids so to speak?

70 maps? GOD****. i guess the 80.00 i spent yesterday is worth it. What console game in "08" and "09" will be bigger than R2? I cant think of any.Gamersince81

In terms of size, Fallout 3, in terms of hype/sales/media attention, Gears 2

Like Battlefield 2 , 16 , 32 64 versions of each map, less players the smaller ect.

everytime i read some ridiculous number put into r2 i question the quality of the game. how much care can they put into 70 maps? mephisto_11

I think the same thing when I see how little goes into Gears of War .....

They're Insomniac, They never made a bad game before ;)

Lemmings.....

When it was revealed that Motorstorm would have 8 tracks, you laughed and laughed.

And when it is revealed that R2 will have 70 multiplayer maps, you "doubt it will have care" and doubt each one will be "unique." You even suspect there will be repeats.

The irony is in the fact that you never stopped to think that the maps in Motorstorm might have a great deal of care and variety, even that each track would have multiple paths all the way through the track.

Why try and pin something down before it releases, anyway? Why play this stupid number game?

I did. I'm just saying while your wondering if the content is being spewed out with quality control. I'm saying the same thing about so little content in Gears of War... how they strive for nothing but graphics.

motorstorm is a racer. you expect to have at least 12 tracks because those 8 tracks are used in both multi and single player so the variety is even more thin.

r2 has had a development cycle of two years and we're hearing about 2 campaign, 60 players, 70 maps.

:shock:

70????? Jesus Christ, this is going to be the most impressive game of the entire generation. R 2 was already my most hyped game of the year, this has sent my hype-meter into overdrive.

little content in gears? so i guess campaign w/ coop, 5 player coop horde and 6 other mp gametypes is standard for all games nowadays? :roll: you're just a gears hater

"Speaking of multiplayer, the battlefield was extremely pitched, with the 60 player battles raging across the various maps that we played on. Even with watching about two or three rounds and playing a few myself, I was struck by the fact that it didn't seem as though I was watching the same location twice. I was informed that combined across the traditional multiplayer modes (like Deathmatch) and the squad-based Skirmish mode, there will be more than 70 maps for players to fight across, which could be one of the largest multiplayer experiences ever made."

Not many shooters have 7 gametypes :roll: how rare....

and coop... yay... was in the first.

It wouldnt be 70 individual maps, just 70 variations of the available maps.-DrRobotnik-

That's what I'm thinking. Probably like Warhawk where they have different sizes of the same map depending on the type of gameplay you want and the number of people playing.

I agree. The multiplayer in Gears was ridiculously shallow and while it looks like Gears 2 will have a deeper multiplayer, it doesn't appear like it will come anywhere close to the depth of Resistance 2.

Im sorry but I find that Ironic coming from you. Someone who can be considered anti-ps3.

70 maps/ thats it? i have atleast 100 for Cod4, and a good 500 for TF2shadow_hosi

Well thats on PC anyways but compared to games like Halo 3, Gears and cod4 on consoles its huge. 20 maps would've been more than enough for most people but dammm 70? thats overkill. If some maps are different variations of the originals for example size, that would be good too since playing the same maps gets old after a while. Having some maps play like dustbowl or goldrush like in TF2 is not a bad thing.

I don't think it's actually 70 maps...I think they said it's a few larger maps that can be carved up into smaller areas for battles with less than 60 players.Teufelhuhn

But it says: More than 70 maps for players to play at. How many different meanings can that give one??

Not many shooters have 7 gametypes :roll: how rare....

and coop... yay... was in the first.

you're desperation is showing. list all these game with more than 7 game types in mp and coop sp. there better be a truckload

Your inexperience is showing. You obviously haven't played Resistance's multiplayer if you think Gears is deeper and has more variety.

70 maps =/= individual care. They will probably all look the exact same. The best multiplayer games usually only have 10-20 maps, but they spend so much time making each one so different and unique that you could play the same map for ages and not get bored (i.e. battlefield 2, TF and TF2, and halo 3).Vaasman

The thing I am worried about is how is this going effect teamwork when you have 70 maps to learn. I think is great that there are that many, but how are you supposed to learn them all? One of the biggest factors in winning and losing in FPS games is teamwork and knowing your surroundings. I guess it doesn't matter as much on the PS3 because not as many people have mics.Il_Exile_lI

Can you stop comparing PC shooters to console shooters? PC shooters are far superior in pretty much every way...if they are done right and the effort is there. We get it. Stop beating a dead horse. For CONSOLE shooters Resistance 2 is breaking new ground and arguably without peer when it comes to depth. Seriously, wtf is the point of comments like that above? You're just trying to piss people off.

I guess that makes sense. I am correct in saying that they split you into squads of 8?

Then I guess LBP must be blowing you away in that department, huh skip?

Somebody show us the quote where they say they have some of them carved up from the originals.

I'm hesitant to believe "70 maps" but now we're just running off pure speculation.

-people that actually care about teamwork use mics.

-teamwork is still effective regardless of whether you know your surroundings or not...

Perhaps you should expand your knowledge on the game before making comments in a thread about it. The 60 player matches aren't going to be 30 players to a side, start at opposite ends of the map and go kill anything that moves. The matches will be broken up into separate skirmishes where smaller units fight each other over objectives.

You also apparently are familiar with the first game and the deep clan community that embraced the game...

I am not bashing the game, I just know that in other FPS games I play, it is common to point out enemies using specific landmarks and areas of the map as a reference. You cannot deny that a major factor in teamwork is knowing your surroundings. I will still buy and love the game, and most likely learn all 70 of the maps, it will just be a longer process than most shooters.

70 maps sounds like a mess

I dont think id want that many maps, 15-25 is a good amount

Mkavanaugh77

Burn the maps, you've got too many!

This is system wars pal, and since the topic doesn't exclude pc games that means it's fair game.
