R2 was one of the most anticipated titles of the past holiday season. Insomniac delivered on many of the expectations that were had for this game. Today, Bryan has posted on the blog that another patch is forthcoming on Monday. Patch 1.40 will fix a few errors that are ongoing in the title and bring about a much-requested feature.
Here are some patch 1.40 details:
Trophy/Medal/Ribbons
- “Salute Me” trophy is not awarded until player reaches level 31 (Lieutenant)
- “Berserker” trophy can be collected during non-ranked games
- “Survivor” medal can be collected in cooperative games
- “Sure Shot” ribbon is awarded if player has accuracy of exactly 50%
Clans
- Added clan support for viewing members, sending invites, and setting up clan tags
- Default clan region is now USA
Match Balancing
- Unbalanced ranked games are cancelled in staging before the game is started
- Parties are prevented from matchmaking into free-for-all Deathmatch games
Competitive
- Loadouts can be disabled in the “Create Game” screen in competitive games
- Balanced the chance of dropping large ammo pickups in competitive games
- Core Control scoreboard displays “Kills”
- Improved scoreboard formatting
Cooperative
- Balanced the amount of XP gained by the Medic class in cooperative games
- Stalker movement enabled in cooperative games
- Small ammo pickups don’t give LAARK ammo in cooperative games
Weapons/Gameplay
- Splash damage on Pulse Cannon can damage the player firing it
- Rossmore reticule better reflects its accuracy
- Fire is easier to shake off
- Players cannot swap weapons in the middle of a melee attack
That is a mighty long list. There are things missing such as the dual log-in on R2 Co-op, but Bryan says that when the capability to do so is completely worked out, we’ll get it. You can’t help but love Insomniac.

Is this actually going to fix all the network errors I get? I can barely play in a party with my friend… half the time it leaves me sitting around while he is in the staging area and the game starts while I’m still twiddling my thumbs. Another 25% of the time I get some type of network error and poof I’m unable to join ANY games.
The PS.Blog post also revealed some mighty important news, not just for R2… but many online enable games.
‘Now you may be asking, “But what about adding the option to save the second player’s character progress?” Truth be told, it required a certain PS3 firmware that wasn’t available at the time of Resistance 2’s release. We now have that firmware and are currently working to implement the feature. As soon as it’s ready, we’ll get it out to you.’
Looks like the newest FW update did indeed sneak something in on us.
He’s referring to have multiple psn log ins on the same PS3(I believe). I won’t really go into it,but this was a rumour a while back for a firmware update.
It’s a bad desicion to “balance” the medic’s points in the game, because it’s the weakest class so nobody except the ones who already max it out will be playing the medic, bad choice.
