Details of the latest patch for the PS3 FPS Resistance 2 have been unveiled, and while there is no new content included, the tweaks made to the game are just what players have been waiting for.
Tweaks to the way certain trophies are earned, and subtle changes to the clan systems are fair enough, but the big problem the patch fixes is an issue with Online profiles resetting to level 1. The patch will take you back to the level you were before the game reset, and also add all XP you earned after that time.
This is set to work in ’several of those cases’, which probably means that some people won’t be able to earn back their experience. Hopefully this won’t be a problem though, and if the patch does fix this issue, then it’s a sure fire success.
As always, updating a game like Resistance 2 with patches as time goes on is vital to keeping people hooked. 1.40 will download as soon as you boot up the game from Monday onwards, fingers crossed that it actually fixes the issue it was intended for. Hit the jump for the full list of changes.
