um BIG SPOILERS comin if u haven't played ada? though I dunno it might be obvious to most of you here.... I'll white it out anyway :
I think Ada's story was actually the pivot point of the entire game. WO( I mean Simmons cloning her basically was a catalyst to every event afterwards as Carla became the head of Neo Umbrella. And the entire idea of cloning was obviously done specifically for the "omg wtf" factor when "ada" infects all of chris' men. Which worked on me, anyway lol. I think the big mistake here is not making a bigger deal about cloning. Ada only does something "bad" in Chris' game, and it would have added to the horror factor IMMENSELY imho to create this new class of "what if my friend is my foe" sort of zombie weapon. Kind of...village of the damned?) End WO
I really liked the idea, just not entirely how it was executed. And they could've taken the intersections of the stories a lot further. Like...the choices you make playing the first 3 campaigns affects ada....
The agent is.....stupid. IMO. But I'm not a co op fan either. It's just capcom tryin to appease the (apparantly) hordes of co op fans. Big mistake to me....he's just so entirely illogical it kills me. Also, I agree, big mistake making her playable from the start. Her story ENDS every other story, and RUINS every other story if played first lol. But you know Capcom these days, tryin to please everybody. I guess they found from RE.net that people weren't finishing it, and wanted to give them something else.
Having said that I really liked her campaign. It was also the hardest after gettin used to relyin on a silly invincible AI lol.
