Resistance 2 will be getting the 1.50 patch, along with some DLC today, you can find more information about them below and also check out some screenshots from GDC.
There are two pieces of DLC, the first is the ‘Aftermath Map Pack’ ($5.99), which features three new maps two set in Twin Falls (Aftermath and Pit Stop) and another in Orick (Outpost).
The other DLC is six new multiplayer skins ($0.99 each), and they are; Rachael Parker, Female Soldier, Ravager, Cloven (Retribution model), Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation.
Then we have patch 1.50, which features a host of fixes and additions, here are the ‘main’ three;
Meltdown Mode: We’ve read the message-board comments. We’ve seen the online petition. You want it? You got it! Patch 1.50 brings back Meltdown, the popular Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer mode in which each team attempts to gain control of the map by capturing beacons.
Superhuman Co-op Mode: Does your eight-man Specter squad possess the skills to survive this all-new difficulty? It features stronger enemies and disables auto-respawning (only another squadmate can revive you), but dishes out bigger rewards (double the Grey Tech and XP per round).
Second PSN Login Support: Your fellow couch potato can now save their character’s multiplayer progress, thanks to the added option to log in with two unique PSN accounts.
