Resistance no longer Resistance?

I had 3 friends come over tonight and take turns playing the beta together and had a decent time. Probably put about 8 hours in just tonight. With no other system to play this week I should get some real hands-on with it.

The co-op was tons of fun. I think every one of us had an awesome time with it. I don't know what I was really expecting with this mode but Insomniac did an awesome job and should be commended. The matches were long and I can see a lot of replayability in this mode. It seemed like a lot of people were communicating more in this co-op than I found in multiplayer.

The strict multiplayer I didn't really like much at all. It seemed too hectic and chaotic. Even with the squad system it seemed like a bunch of people just running around with no set objective or strategy. There was quite a bit of spawn killing or it seemed other times I would spawn clear across the map. No real rhyme or reason to it. Maybe getting more friends together in a squad would have made it more enjoyable but I really don't like this style of play. I spent most of the time on the big maps but I think I would prefer the smaller 10 & 20 player maps. Either way I'm not saying it's bad but so far it just doesn't seem like my cup of tea.

Other things I did like across both modes:
- EXP System
- Guns
- Lobby System
- Class upgrades

The squad system doesn't work well in team deathmatch.  It is better suited for the "Skirmish" mode.  In the end it is still a bunch of random people doing there own thing, just like every other online FPS.  The coop is a lot of fun.  I like the class system, Medic being my favorite.  The special ops is good to if you can team up with a good soldier.
