Actually throughout Fall of Man there are hints to the Sentinel project and SRPA. The pause menu has morse code from a Black Ops squad tailing Hale throughout the entire game, which when translated (decoded?) show that they're trying to take him back in. Then they appear at the end of the game to recruit him which is where R2 picks up, so it isn't really a ret-con.MR.Spartacus said:It was pretty painful how they ret-conned in that whole "secret american super soldier" conspiracy thing. They should have left the origins more "mysterious". instead they wound up making it stupid and confusing. Not to mention numerous gameplay complaints.
The only thing missing from Resistance 2 in my opinion was clarity, which would've been provided by Parker's narration. Otherwise it was a game I really enjoyed.
