While the single-player game takes place entirely in the United States, multiplayer maps are world-ranging, and Insomniac showed the Bogota map during the event. This map emphasized brighter colors and more wide-open areas than previous Resistance multiplayer maps have, and also gave press a chance to see how the multiplayer dynamic will work. Insomniac promises "a few objective-based modes" along with the standard team deathmatches and free-for-alls, but they were tight-lipped about what those would bel ike. They did discuss the leveling system, which works similar to that of the Call of Duty games, as well as the various passive and active class abilities, and the new "Berserks" (that is, kill streak rewards) that are race specific. For example, humans get a deployable energy shield on a three-kill streak, while the Chimera get a cloaking device.

Both games look like they're making large changes to their predecessors' way of doing things, and both should be among the marquee titles on PS3 on their release in the relatively near future.
