"It was an honour, sir"  is a great last line to the game.

Have you played much of the Co-op? I do think the Earth has been transported.  There are small hints in the campaign, and much better ones in the co-op mission updates.  There is, however, no explanation as to WHY.

Ah,im a level 7 spec ops,but i dont pay too much attention to the mission updates,or what they are saying.Well now i will pay more attention.So lets say the earth was transported,was the sphere behing hale the Chimeran homeworld?(originally i thought it was a portal).

 

The sky at the end of the game definitely shows a foreign object up there, and it appears to have been blasted into pieces.  Not too sure if it the Chimeran homeworld as there is very little information to tell us anything about it.  Although if the earth has been transported, I'd say the human race is screwed. 

The co-op mission updates are displayed at the loading screen, and give you a broader insight into whats happening in the rest of the world while Hale is about his business in the campaign.  Worth a read while loading the mission

I think the object falling apart is the chimeran homeworld,if i remember correctly,one the intels say that the chimeran virus was found by the russians from a meteor. im guessing the meteor was on of the peices that were falling apart?Maybe from the previous chimeran war.

 

Interesting.  I thought perhaps the Meteor was sent out by the chimerans to find earth, and bring it back.  It apparently started with the Tunguska Event (a real occurence) where a meteor struck the earth in Siberia, leveling hundreds of square kilometers of trees. 

Also I think the idea of the next Resistance being a prequel would be pretty damn sweet.

 

hmmm,from the tower,tunnels and consturcts that were buried underground(from both games).I figured that they already knew were earth was. but then again with what the teleportation,perhaps that technology was used before to hide from the chimera originally.and maybe the chimera did send out the meteor to find and infect earth again.

Yea, it seems to me that the Chimeran searched out the earth to reclaim it.  The old contructs on Earth were from the previous battle with the race that created the Grey Tech, and the Chimeran began utilizing them immediately, suggesting that they created them in the first place.

Also: whoever did the voice acting for Henry Stillman deserves a raise.  That was some seriously creepy shit.

lol.no joke,Henry Stillman(whoever played him) was an amazing voice actor.Every time i saw a radio i was like,YES.One of my favorite parts of the single player.Anyway,so this third race im guessing will be a big part of the next game(prequel or not).because Humanity doesnt have much left in them,and perhaps the chimera are still at war with this third race,and thats why they sought out to find earth,and started converting the humans(to help support their war).Maybe we are cattle?

Yea I think they are still at war with this other mystery race, and their search had more to do with finding the Prometheus Weapon (Grey Tech).  But it makes alot of sense that they would also use the humans to bolster their numbers.

@Dmeister

   You think he'll pull a Terminator and be back?

maybe thats what just the beginning meant.after your converted,you go to war to fight for the chimera,or the humans are now involved with the other race.As much as i think hale is indeed dead....i have a feeling he will be in the events that take after R2.

If you haven't finished Resistance 2, do yourself a favor and stop reading!

 

   First off, let me say that I like the way the story is told in R2.  The first person aspect of not having all the information, not having things explained to you, and I'm pretty sure you are actually lied to at one point in the game.  I found the story very intiguing and it is one of the few games that i actually took the time to play through twice.  I also like the fact that you gain insight into the story through playing the co-op. 

   The Ending:  I personally think Nathan Hale is actually dead, and the story in the 3rd Resistance will hinge around another character, possibly Cappelli.  The whole transporting the earth thing mystified me on my first play through, but I think the Chimeran are possibly reclaiming territory that was fought over long ago.  The chimeran were fighting on the Earth long ago, and it seems at the end of the last war, the planet was teleported (possibly in a last ditch effort to survive) and lost.  Now that it has been found, the Chimeran are taking it back. 

  It would also seem the Earth houses a weapon of some sort, that the Chimera are attempting to assemble.  Perhaps they are still fighting a war on another front,and the Earth is their trump card.  It will be interesting to see where Insomniac takes this story line with R3.

  Your thoughts?

 

 SPOILER ALERT!!!!

I think Nahtan Hale is still alive, it stops right when he gets shot. im assuming because of that he has chimera healing powers he wake up and be alive. And they was talking about that the chimera was fighting another enemy before humans. im assuming we will see another species in Resistance 3 because if they weren't fighting humans, they had to be fighting something

besides the weapon that in Earth, not much we can assume. But because of how the game ended, it gives insomniac many options to go, i serously dobut they will let hale die, hale is a iconic figure in the game, and those types of characters usually don't die

I think it would be lame and cheesey if they just had hale come back all fine and dandy.No,i think he should be dead but have some other explanation so i can play as him(if that makes sense).

Maybe the human race will have no choice but to turn and the humans that are infected but haven't turned like Capelli will help the chimera fight another race.

 

I'd rather see them join forces with the other guys to fight against the Chimeran.  Although there don't seem to be many people left alive at the end of R2 to carry on the fight

 

Yeah, also it looks like if some humans don't decide to help the Chimeran, the Chimera will turn or kill them. I don't think any humans will fight on the other side, at least not for awhile, because it seems Earth is in Chimeran territory.

You know, its kind of funny how the story is told through Hale.  He plays such a pivotal role, but he's never really portrayed as a hero.  He's just another soldier doing his job, while others above him pull the strings and hold the information.  Nobody ever sings his praises, and in the end, despite his best efforts, he never really seems to accomplish anything of importance.  He wins a couple battles, but in such an epic battle, it doesn't mean much. 

I would also like to know who they are referring to in "Can you hear them? They are calling to us."  I think it is the Chimeran overlords calling them home.  There is so much we still don't know.

Back to Stillman; I was surprised at just how DARK some of those excerpts were.  It really added a human element to the game, and showed how desperate things were.
