in the Resistance Universe and will make the game far more

challenging and akin to some old skool games such as Medal of Honor Frontline. This is definitely welcomed as modern shooters nowadays have been dumbed down far too much for everyone to be able to pick up and play.

Another addition to the survival theme is the shrapnel grenades that are assembled from a food can and some nails, which releases an arsenal of nails when it explodes. All the weapons are also fully upgradeable and will get stronger and more deadly, the more you use them. Speaking of which, most of the old cast of weapons from the previous two games make an appearance. This includes; the Carbine, the Auger, the Bullseye, the Magnum, the Rossmore and the Marksman. Some of the new weapons include; the Mutator, which shoots biological mist that causes enemies to eventually explode causing splash damage and a new sniper rifle called the Deadeye sniper rifle. Much to the delight of fans, the weapon wheel will be making a return to Resistance 3 after it was excluded from Resistance 2 in favour of the more mainstream ‘my-character-is a-super-soldier-that-has-augmented strength-but-can-only-carry-2-weapons’ feature found in some of the more well known first person shooters.
