I preordered at Gamestop but I don't know if I'm in the beta. I guess I could check my email really quickly.

Considering it. I never played the first outside of in a pod at a store once, but I didn't really take to the short time I played. I'll probably wait til it drops in price a bit and wait to see what friends think of it. The 8 player co-op sounds great though.

Pro did the clerk give you a peice of paper for you to register for it? If not you need that code on there so they can email you a beta code.

Yeah kia the game is basicaly 3 games in 1, the campaign has its own story, the 8 player co-op has its own story and the multiplayer supports 60 people.

I have resistance 1 but I don't really like it a whole lot, I mean it's a decent fps but it isn't amazing to me

I'll probably rent it first, though the co-op large scale boss battles sound awesome

^Who gives a shit about gears of war 2 in this thread (enough to mention it)? Take it to the console wars thread, etc.

Regarding the game, I have to wait and see. Too many games, not enough time to play... Fuck scool & RL!

Wouldnt set it meteora he started the same discussion in the gears thead, well attempted to, which most ignored, I too feel it belongs in console wars, but others saw it as trolling but oh well. It's going to be a good game, the fact it has 3 diffrent expierences on one discs alone is well whorth the price of the game, I really cant wait for it, I loved the first one.

Game looks really good. I wasn't blown away by the first one but the second one looks much better.

Is the gameplay close to Call of Duty 4... with aliens?

I never liked the first one, but the campaign for the 2nd looks interesting enough.

I didnt play much COD4 online, didnt care for the game, anyway, it plays like a story would, you and your group have an objective to complete, you get xp for killing and shooting foes and completing your objectives.

Yes elvis they give you a paper, you go to the resitance site register the code and sony emails the beta code.

It depends on the difficulty settings the host already had set, I didnt look when I played, but they added new turrents that act like the pulse rifles its brutal.

Ok elvis I misread your post, here is the link, at checkout all you have to do is provide a valid email adress and they'll email it to you.

hmm, I just preordered it. I didn't see any special denotation about the beta code in the confirmation page for the sale. It was listed in the profile for the game though.

i assume that anyone who preorders online would automatically be sent a beta code. the email would be your gamestop email id assume?

I love me some class systems. The 8-man co-op campaign has POTENTIAL.

EDIT: Also it ticked me off how they mentioned in EGM: "This game is inspired by TF2 and WoW" [because of class system and the feel of raid encounters]. TF2 didn't popularize class systems in FPS, it's a sequel for the one that did for godsake. And WoW did not create or popularize Raid Bosses, and given how vague they put it seems they were crediting WoW for "specific roles" against challenges in general which is even more ridiculous.
