Actually the RE5 versus modes seemed like quickly thrown together with no thought put in them whatsoever. There were so many ways to abuse in those modes that it was ridiculous, for example the incendiery grenades which made the player get into an animation where he couldnt do anything or the fast swap rpg or discarding all the weapons on the field. lolz
This time from the info it sounds that they did put careful thought in them at least.
There will be 4 modes as it would seem: Agent Predator, Siege, Survivors and Slayers.
And this time in Slayers which was supposed to be a competitive Mercenaries mode players will actually play on 2 seperate maps so they dont make it into a Survivors mtch and in Survivors if you die you will respawn as a creature sparing the constant agent vs agent.
Your totally right. :/
These things completely sucks, but it's always fun to play with fair players or friends.
Hope they come with something more fun..not just like the Mercenaries, cause we get overly bored from it fast as hell.
They should make more characters and more cool modes other than just killing zombies all the time.
