Gameplay
R. R. The player's arsenal includes a handgun, assault rifle, submachine gun, shotgun, automatic shotgun, sniper rifle, nail gun, rocket launcher, laser carbine, flamethrower, and pulse rifle. Each weapon differs in terms of accuracy, range, rate of fire, armor penetration, damage, and weight.
Only four different firearms can be carried at any one time. The player also has access to four different types of projectile - frag grenades, incendiary grenades, shock grenades (electricity-based), and proximity mines. The player can carry five of each type, and can carry all four at once (allowing for up to 20 projectiles), but only one type may be equipped at any one time. Players can also "cook" grenades before throwing them; setting them off but holding onto them for a moment before tossing them.
Story
The game begins thirty minutes before the end of the first game. A Delta Force unit has been deployed to take Genevieve Aristide, president of Armacham Technology Corporation (ATC) into protective custody, in light of fears that the ATC board may be planning to assassinate her so as to silence her. The hand-picked team consists of 1st Sgt. Griffin; SFC Keegan, Sgt.
Jankowski (brother of the character from the first game), Sgt. Morales, Sgt. Becket (the player character), Cpl. Fox, and communications liaison 1st Lt.
Development
The game was announced by Monolith Productions in February 2006. Monolith had been purchased by Warner Bros. R was already underway and a publishing deal had already been struck with Vivendi. R.

Reception
Project Origin received "generally favorable reviews," with the PC and PlayStation 3 versions holding aggregate scores of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 49 and forty-eight reviews, respectively. The Xbox 360 version holds a score of 77 out of 100, based on 68 reviews.
3 out of 10, praising the score, sound effects, voice acting, and plot, but criticising the ability to create cover ("feels like a gimmick, since there's no effective way of hugging that cover") and multiplayer. Although he enjoyed the game overall ("it's a good shooter, bordering on great"), he argued, "it's not as groundbreaking as its predecessor." GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd scored all three versions 7 out of 10. R.
