I agree it is a shame that they didn’t give coop campaign mode. We had completed R1 and were really looking forward to playing R2 in the same mode. Otherwise wouldhave probably bought the game much later.

Since this is probably the wrong tree to bark at anyway, I won’t bother you. Even if I had a direct email-address to the people responsible at Insomniac, I wouldn’t be able to change a damn thing; the masses have spoken: 60 player death match obviously sells better than co-op campaign. If only I could get into my little head why they had to *remove* that feature. R2 = R1++, or not?

There is no way to go through the campaign in splitscreen mode.

What you CAN do is two splitscreen things:

1) You can go through the 8-player online objective-based campaign with two players. This is NOT the campaign. Right now, though, leveling up progress for player #2 is NOT saved. Which really sucks. It means that the next time you play this with your friend, player #2 has to start leveling up his character all over again. Insomniac is working on a patch. My friend Steve and I won’t play this game again until this is fixed.

2) Much like Warhawk, you can go online and play the multiplayer matches with two of you playing on one console. When we tested this, it was very flaky and we rarely got into a match because of connection issues. When we did, we were usually kicked out right away due to connection issues. I did not have any such problems playing online just by myself. These problems may have been fixed. I don’t know what happens to the leveling up progress of player #2, but I assume it’s not saved either.

I’m confused! Let me try to phrase my question without using any of the buzz words, that I think clutter this entire issue:

How do my friend and I play together though the story of
Resistance 2, like we did in Resistance 1?

Particularly Steve’s post from nov. 11. confuses me. How did you do it? or are you using the wrong buzz words? I’ve tried creating an off-line co-op game, but it doesn’t look at all like the single player campaign. It looks and feels more like a standard frag-a-teenager on-line games I don’t want to waste my time with.

My conclusion is that R2 doesn’t offer this mode (dare I say “two player campaign mode”?), which is a damn shame, because that was R1 #1 game feature. This leaves R2 as a standard shooter. I regret I wasted my money on it.

Unless, of course, someone can prove me wrong… (*fingers crossed*)

AFAIK, there is no fix even planned.

i have been a long time resistance fan and i bought resistance 2. I love how the game is co-op so i can play with my brother. But resistance 2 angerd me because when ever i play co-op my borther cant save his progress so we can never really reach that far. I havent play online yet but is there an updat available that fixes this problem???

Guys, “Player 2 stats in split-screen mode are not saved.” seems like a thing that won’t be fixed.

@Trev
thoose invisable enemys are called chameleans, and are also in single player, they can be seen at the last minute and one shot kills them too.

is split screen possible on competitive?
