If by rank you mean your bars; I think just overall XP raises it it. I think right now I'm rank three; but I only play competative, not coop. (well not yet).

Not sure if there's a max level, gotta be pretty high up there though.

Near the end of the game (main storyline) my game started to freeze ALOT (enough to make me powercycle).

Sometimes when you hit a huge freeze spike you can let it sit for a few minutes (...sometimes up to ten) and the game will unfreeze.

Does the game have Japanese Voice Over audio options? Or it is all dubbed?

Any way to customize troops and tanks? I know you can upgrade them, but what about colors and pointless junk that won't really matter in the long run?

Is everything in game graphics? Or does it have CG cutscenes? Like other RPGs.

I believe Im the only one that can be Pitying Foo's...and I pity the creator of this thread.

The opinion posted is worse than the user reviews given to Valkryria...by some guy who doesn't own the game and has never played it.

The graphics have gotten a decent boost from the first Resistance. The water is beautiful; leaves fall from trees as you under them; dust kicks up in the wind; it's amazing.

The sound works great in surround, especially online so you know where people are shooting at you from.

Multiplayer...god it's addicting; nonstop mayhem.

I pity the foo's that pity the foo's that like this game.

Halo?!

HALO!?

I think people stopped caring about Halo along long LONG time ago.

But in reference to the topic; the first Resistance was considered a Halo killer. The second one leaves Halo under it's boot print.

It's a great game; don't worry about all the BS complaints floating around.

The online battle is insane.
