Resistance 2 gets COD4-like Perks

Linkin Park Fan | August 26, 2008 | Previews | Playstation 3

Insomniac wants to reward you for everything in Resistance 2 online, so they've added berserks ("Perks"). But these are more then just your simple perks - they added a little sci-fi twist to them. For instance, one berserk makes you invisible to the enemy, another one lets you see through walls. Ranking up gets you plenty of new berserks, plus there are also many trophies, medals and ranks to unlock.

Most interesting was the new Berserk features that Insomniac will be integrating into multiplayer. If you've played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the new system is similar to that game's "Perks" feature.

Insomniac is ensuring that your progression through Resistance 2, whether it be in competitive multiplayer or coop, will provide constant reward. You'll be racking up experience points for just about everything you do in game. Fire a bullet, get some XP. Kill an opponent get some XP. Get enough in a round of multiplayer and you'll be able to initiate one of your Berserks.

That sounds awesome! I can imagine some of them being annoying though. Especially if your put into a game where half of the players are invisible.

  Well I bet the invisibality perk will work only for a limitted amount of time.

    They would be insane to make a permanent invisibility perk. We're not even developers and even WE know that would be a bad idea.

  Maybe IG will limit the amount of players that can be using the same berserk at one time. IMO they should limit invisibility to 2 players at a time. (so one team could have 2 players invisibile or both teams could have 1 person each, etc)

Yeah I heard about this a while back. I don't think its in all game modes though.

Resistance certainly is undergoing some changes in the multiplayer department. I just hope this new direction works as well as the old one.
