Depends on how fast it takes out the regular guys, I guess.
Well, the exploit’s biggest advantage is the fact it can take out Ustanak (most likely any boss like him) without burning ammo or stamina since he can’t attack back. Having more than one enemy to deal with probably neutralizes that strategy.
Probably so. It doesn’t have any I-frames on it, does it? I think I saw it hit wide enough to tag a stray dude next to Ustanak at one point.
That sounds really awesome and not too far out there from RE5. In RE5 you can instant reload in the inventory while meleeing or anything so you never had to stop, So I guess this is like that except you have to start the reload before pulling it off. I hope they get rid of the melee bonus in mercs honestly. Even though that did separate the people at the top, I felt that it made the best strategy rely too much on melee for the time bonus.
Melee Bonus is still there and if the time bonus wasn’t there, melee on a decent amount of characters would be useless as they’d take too long.
I just personally liked the pace of the RE4 mercs, since that relied on the speed of the killing, where a lot of RE5 they try to use someone like Wesker with the best Melee to rack up the most time for the end (Though I believe tribal sheva was on top of the leaderboards at time on the licker map because she can shatter them. Haven’t been on RE5 in a while though). Though I believe in RE4 Wesker still was the best because of his kit, like his sniper one shotting ganados and magnum for harder enemies (I think he even did better than Hunk on the village, because even though Hunk can insta kill the sisters, Wesker can just plow through everyone else at a faster rate). I think the reason why RE5 worked with the time bonus was because it actually had an enemy limit. I think it would be more interesting to be more like RE4, where there is no bonus, but instead about being efficient with gathering time and killing.
RE4 Merc tournaments were the dopest things. Had a pretty decent Krauser, never won any but got close.
I can see myself enjoying watching that kind of thing. Any footage of such an event?
None that I can think of from my area sadly. And am I alone in enjoying the maps from RE4 over all the RE5 ones except the prison? I found most of the RE4 ones kind of badly designed in comparison, not one of them touches the Castle or Island IMO.
anyone ever get all merc and versus achievements in RE5?..that and beat desperate escape on professional was the only one’s I needed for full achivements…
I think it was pretty much impossible because there was always that one dude who messes up everything…
speaking of I know re6 has new modes but no versus?..4 player mercs would be beyond easy…I remember in re5 I was teamed up with this S.T.A.R.S wesker who wrecked shop…he actually requested ammo and items from me but we went on a good streak in versus…
the thing about mercs is that each character had strengths and weaknesses on specific maps…for example safari chris is considered low tier but if you team him with a good cover character on a specific map he becomes good…
Whaaaat, RE6 has no Versus mode? I loved that to death!
Tribal Sheva, such a beast in Experimental Facility.
Never got into Mercs. The whole time limit thing really gets under my skin. I’m more of an infinite ammo survival free for all person…here’s to hoping there are more inspiring modes in the future.
And I’m really crossing my fingers for hard difficulty to be playable out the box.
This is going to be the hardest month since vanilla Mvc3. I’ve literally been doing speed runs of the demo over and over building up my efficiency. I feel like melee is secret top tier so I’ve been trying to build stuff around sherry with the stun rod and Chris with the knife…which btw can also be rapid fired through the shoulder side switch exploit. When you ps3 guys get the demo this week look for cool shit to exploit.
I still remember in the Resident evil 5 demo some kid showed me how to bounce a grenade off the billboard in shanty town so you blew the lock off the door and didn’t have to throw Sheva aross into an ambush.
On RE5: Mercs, my best character was Sheva (tribal) and Barry on Mercs Reunion. I was never good at getting a super high score (on PSN I am ranked like 37,000 for public assembly). But I am finding better strategies to get ready for RE6.
Also is the demo already out for 6? If so I had no idea, and need to try it out.
I hate Survival modes. Just get hella boring after a while, I like to have a mode where there actually is an end in sight rather than just sitting around and shooting things until I’m overwhelmed or just get bored.
Mercs has an end in sight, and hidden depths into how to get to said end as efficiently as possible. RE6 possibly looking better in that regard.
Week of Sept 18th. I hope it’s a newer demo because the Dragon’s Dogma one is ass.
For Xbox 360 owners here’s a really good deal on preordering RE6
Although they charge sales tax, Microsoft’s online store is giving a $10 gift card and 1600 points with the purchase of RE6. Screw preordering at Gamestop, Best Buy, or Amazon just to get ONE map when you can get points to buy all three without having to spend more money!

Slow shipping is free.
Is it just me or does the camera zooms in way too much when you’re aiming? Shit bothers me a bit since you can barely see sometimes.
^No it’s not just you. Go read the past few pages. It looks like it has been improved for the final release though.
…so the demo is out??
