The Chimera had better pucker up for more punishment because by tomorrow, trigger-happy players of Resistance 2 will have more reasons to bring the fight back to the nasty extraterrestrials. Tomorrow, March 26th, is the day that the new Resistance 2 DLC will be available, along with the 1.50 patch that’ll make the online alien-hunting experience much more enjoyable.
The new DLC will come in two forms: The Aftermath Pack and new skins for your character.
- Aftermath Pack: This pack gives you three more multiplayer maps. Aftermath and Pit Stop ware set in Twin Falls, while Outpost’s in Orick. These three maps support the 20-player Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, while Outpost also also lets you play 20-player Core Control. All that is yours for US$ 5.99.
- Apart from the maps, six new skins will add more variety to the Resistance look, which now includes two for female players.These new skins are: Rachael Parker, Female Soldier, Ravager, Retribution Model Cloven, Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation. Each new skin is downloadable for US$ 0.99.
Finally, patch 1.50 is here, and it’s as big as fans have been expecting it to be, with three big new features and a host of other stuff.
- By popular demand, Fall of Man‘s Meltdown Mode is coming to Resistance 2, so you and your pals can shoot it out and capture beacons like in the first Resistance.
- A new game mode, Superhuman Co-op Mode, is out to test your Resistance mad skills. You’ll be taking on stronger enemies and you won’t auto-respawn when you get your ass kicked. A teammate will have to revive you. Of course, completing the challenge gives you double the Grey Tech and XP per round.
- For those who have roomies, brothers, and buddies around a lot, two PSN accounts can now be logged in at one time thanks to the new Second PSN Login Support from the patch.
