Admittedly, this vent should have occurred a long time ago when the game came out, but I didn't know this was an issue until today.

When Resistance 2 came out, I played through the single player and loved it. After I finished it, I called one of my brothers over so we could take a crack at the offline co-op. We got destroyed almost every single time we tried it, eventually finally getting past the first few stages. (Which was amazing considering the game couldn't save the second player's stats for-fucking-ever.)

There are three classes, but I only had two controllers at the time, so I figured we were struggling because we were always missing one key element. Controllers are expensive as balls, so paying for a third one to use for one game didn't seem worthwhile.

See, I was under the assumption that if you have an offline co-op game that is really only fun with at least three people, the game would support three fucking players offline. Well now I have three controllers (got a new one for $20, super sweet) and I find out online that the game only supports 2 people offline per console.

Is this true?

If it is true, what the fuck, Insomniac? Why even put the offline co-op in the game?

In conclusion, eat some balls, Insomniac.
 
You can beat offline co-op missions, you just need to have a medic and a spec ops.

Every team needs a medic. And soldier needs spec ops to run. So soldier is only real useful in online co-op. Offline co-op is HARD, but it's also really, really fun - and co-op in general is the best part of the game. 4 player co-op would be good too, they'd need to balance it for 3 and 4 player... because with 2 they weaken the enemies a lot compared to the 8 player online version.

You are right though, this game is missing 4 player splitscreen. It would be a great game for offline deathmath, much better than Resistance 1 was for that... and 4 player online splitscreen would be great - in fact it would make it the game of choice for 4 players.
 
When we finally beat the first set of missions we were actually Solder/Spec Ops. If our health was low we would just kill each other one at a time after everything settled down to come back full.
