Imagine how cool it would be to do survivors on UC and then hide in one of the shops to the sides or inside one of the busses, and then snipe people running around outside. So epic.
In my mind i imagine it might actually break some of the previous cheap features in RE5's versus. Whenever I versed in RE5, pistols, snipers, and machine guns would all be completely useless. People would just zig-zag until they were right in front of you, and then casually point blank you with a magnum or hydra, which would stun you after 1 shot and kill you after 2. If you were Jill for example, you just didn't have anything that could keep up with the damage output. Winning the game was based completely on which character you were instead of how good you were. Now perhaps when someone starts unloading their hydra on me, perhaps I can quick-shot them and give me a little to put some distance between us. Especially if i'm a character that relies on a sniper for a power weapon.
