Made the same mistake myself, so I'm playing through professional now, started with the 2nd bonus costume set so it'll at least be easier to keep Ashley alive due to her being in an invulnerable set of armor.

2nd bonus costume gives ashley armor?
 
Its only on the PS2 version, but its the gangstar outfit.. every different outfit you pick for Leon it gives Ashley a different costume as well so its like 2 in 1 lol. hope that helps clear things up lol

Nope, you have to start anew. The only difference I noticed when starting Pro is that they give you a little more health to start with.
Ah, okay. :mellow:

But you do get to keep everything if you do not change difficulty?

I think so. Since when you finish the game you get load up a "cleared game" file you should get to keep all your weapons and money. But if you haven't tried Pro yet, I deffinately think its worth it. I personally thought Normal was a little too easy.

I can confirm the easiness. I find it a little too easy already on my first playthrough. Look forward to Pro.

Be careful though. I just finished chapter 5-2... I died 20 times! Well a lot of those were Ashley dying but it still counts. I guess when it says "professional" it means professional!
 
OMFG Krauser was f***ing hard! Every one of his hits took away about half of my maxed out health. And his strong hits do about 3/4. It took almost 15 fully upgraded Killer7 rounds to finish him. I died 19 times in 5-3, damn near all of them were from Krauser. I hope Saddler isn't that hard... I bet all his hits will be 1 hit KO's.

Just use a rocket on Krauser, knife him when he's near and while he's stunned rocket him. Which one is the killer7? Same with Saddler, shoot the eyes out, rocket him while he's stunned, then Ada should toss you the red rocket.
 
Finished Pro today! I can finally start saving up for my Typewriter! I died a total of 100 times and 40 of those were in 5-2 and 5-3. Saddler was just as easy as ever. With those 2 exploding barrels and 2 crane machines AND the frag grenade they give you he's gotta be one of the easiest bosses in the game. Krauser was deffinately way more deadly.

Congrats on finishing Pro! How many hours did it take?
"Died 100 times" :blink:
 
Grats for finishing Pro!

Yeowch, a hundred deaths ain't so pretty for the likes of agent Leon. I guess I must be lucky when I only got about 3-4 deaths on my first playthrough of Pro... with Ashley's armor of course. Ashley's Armor is so fun to abuse in the game, lol.

A small tip for Pro players: Save ammo. Use your physical attacks. Always hit the legs, not the head. Also, utilize your knife.
Don't forget to buy a rocket launcher for every freakishly hard boss fight like Salazar's.
 
There were a few areas on Pro that really troubled me on my first time through...

-The cabin fight in Chapter 2-2
-The water room in Chapter 3-1 (especially the first part)
-The Novistador cave after the two El Gigantes, Chapter 4-2
-The lava room with the wrecking ball, Chapter 5-2

On my first time through on pro I died around 50 times...I would say that between 30-35 of those times were at the four places I mentioned above. The most frustrating part by far was the wrecking ball room, because I kept "dying" because Ashley kept getting killed- Leon didn't actually get killed there once.

Other than that, I died a couple times each fighting Mendez, Verdugo and Krauser, and once each to Saddler and U3. And a few miscellaneous deaths at the hands of Dr. Salvador and the Bella Sisters, Garradors, Regenerators and El Gigantes. Salazar has never killed me in easy, normal or professional.
