A couple of days ago we saw the release of a pretty solid Resistance 2 downloadable content pack, as well as a new patch, but I didn’t hear too many people talking too much about it, so I decided to let everybody know what it’s all about. And really, even though the GDC 2009 kind of went in the spotlight, the new Resistance 2 content should really not be ignored!

The Resistance 2 DLC pack brings The Aftermath Map Pack which features three new battlefields supporting 20-player play, and it costs $5.99. There are also tons of skins available, as I told you in a previous story here.

The Resistance 2 patch 1.50 improves tons of things – here is the full change list (but there’s even more over at the official PlayStation blog!):

– XP balance adjustments for competitive mode
– Announcements screen
