I just usually hang back and let them come to me in that map, lol. Just pull out a sniper rifle, or magnum and they just keep walking towards at the spot where the forest begins.

in countdown mode you have a time limit. You start with something like 2 minutes and you have to reach time houglasses to extend your time. Killing enemies also gives you small chunks of time.
In invisible mode all enemies are invisible. Switching to the secondary character allows you to see enemies. Moira uses the flashlight and Natalia sees the aura like she usually does. You can switch back to the primary character and you will be able to see the enemy for a few seconds. Shooting or knifing enemies also exposes them.
You also have a predetermined loadout in these modes and you cannot use the benches.
I see a lot of people mentioning that Wesker is exclusive to the retail version but I have the $25 digital version on XB1 and I definitely have Wesker (Albert). He didn't unlock until I finished episode 2 though.

Didn't know about the last part. Maybe I should try and do Barry's chapter 2 today....but that boss fight for him ugh.
You can skip Barry's Episode 2 boss fight if you defeat that boss in Claire's Episode 2.
Of course, I imagine that would also be hard in Invisible Mode!

Do the enemies still make noises? And the 'scary danger music' audio cues still play? Or is it a total shock when you get grabbed?

yes they make noise and yes the music comes up...and there are other little things you will notice...like dust moving and such.
Invisible mode is amazing....
The entire Claire scenario where the windows are being attacked is really hard. I beat ep.1 without much issue but didn't get past that.

welll, they released Borderlands 2 in 20fps, i think this will be fine
Lol true.
Yeah, that seems like that would be really hard, especially once

As for the basic enemies breaking through the windows, I wonder if it would help to hold your ground upstairs near the switch. That way the enemies are bottlenecked at the stairs and narrow passage in front of you. Can't really defend the windows there, but I'm not sure if the length of that sequence is based on a timer or a finite number of enemies. If it's the latter, might as well let them come to you and defeat them upstairs.

I just hit Barry's half of Episode 3 last night and plan on fishing that tonight before Ep.4 comes out. So far the game has gotten better and better with each episode and I'm definitely digging it a lot more than RE6.
That
reveal in Chapter 3, holy crap what an awesomely creepy design!
That
Alex Wesker
I actually tried to do just that but it didn't work so well. I had Moira covering the stairs but some would just sprint up there, and at that point the whole upstairs gets swarmed. There's also an ironhead that shows up and those guys are MASSIVE assholes in invisible enemy.
I actually find the Barry sections way easier due to his enemy pool. Revenants are pretty easy to deal with since even in normal playing Natalia is useful to find the weakpoint, and Glasps...aren't really changed, lol.
Are you 100% sure you didn't buy him for $2.50 from the store? Because you really shouldn't have him if you didn't. The unlockable characters we have so far for episodes are
Jill, Leon, and Chris, and I believe the unlockable for the fourth episode is said to be Alex Wesker.

Im not looking forward to that fight for invisible or countdown.
Especially since for those modes it seems like that's the easier way to do things.

There are red arrows nailed to trees, it will lead you out.
I'm not sure I'll bother with Countdown and Invisible, to be honest. I bet they have their fun qualities, but I'm perfectly content with slowly replaying the campaign the way it was originally intended. That being said, the fact there are certain unlockables (minor though they may be) does tempt me to try these modes. Hmm.

There is no level like that.

This is the hardest part of any of the modes so far. It's pandemonium.

Just got the gesture for getting Chris to Lv50,
perfectly fits him.
perfectly fits him.
Seriously? That's pretty cool I learn more about this game all the time lol
Can't wait till episode 4, playing RE4 till then

As a heads-up, tomorrow (the 17th/18th) is when not only episode 4 comes out, but also when ResidentEvil.Net comes to Revelations 2 (which will also open up online events and online unlockables and the Online Raid Mode shop, where you use points earned from achievements in the game to earn stuff in the game), and it seems also when online co-op gets added to Raid Mode most likely.
Bonus Episode 1 & 2, known as The Struggle and Little Miss, both release a couple of days later, on the 19th/20th.

Ah, so the extra episodes come out later in the week. Sounds good to me, I'll be busy the next couple days.
What kind of stuff can be unlocked in the online Raid shop?
The page for Rev2 is up and you can view some of the unlockables and extras but they're "locked" out for now.
Link to page?
I wonder if there will be any aesthetic unlockables, i.e. costumes, etc.

The link for me at least, it is live it seems, just not public yet. And nothing cosmetic, unfortunately. You can spend 1,000 RE points to get 50,000 gold in Raid Mode, or for a Bronze Chest. When you get 200 medals in Raid, you unlock the Silver chest buy option, and 400 medals the gold chest unlock. so it's like the first Revelations where it's mostly like booster packs for weapons and parts for Raid Mode. Also, they have the online unlockable stuff and Present Codes, so may be timed weapon unlocks down the line.
They also have a few interesting stats, like kill distance, and the site seems to be hiding a few things, I say from checking the web code and currently what's displayed is limited (they only list Claire and Barry as Raid Mode characters for the moment, for example). Also shown that the online events tab isn't live yet, and the episode progress thing they have for RE6, Revelations 1, and REmaster HD. All three of those games had more game files and information on the site, like development stuff, extended files, etc., so wonder if they'll have anything like that for Revelations 2? And the unlockable dioramas are all stuff from Claire's part of episode 1, so feel there will be a bit more when it goes live.
I have a lot of RE points to spend thanks to RE6, Revelations 1, and REmaster HD (431,400 to be exact). That's a lot of Raid Gold. All items have a 99 buy cap limit, however. XD

Well going by Episode 3 still not too great. The latter end of Claire's portion ran horribly for me in that episode.

Ask in a few days. I've had my suspicions since episode 1 released that with the patch to add RE.Net Support and online to Raid Mode is also when they're going to try to fix and patch multiple things. The main thing the game needs to fix is its GPU, basically particle effects and loading is a bit borked in the game right now, areas with particle effects drop to low frame rates, and when first loading an area there's some stuttering. If they can fix that, and add online as they're doing to fix an online-related Raid issue, then the port would be fine.

XBL error? Or you accidently bought him without realising somehow. He is not part of the complete season or any pre-order bonus.

Seems S.T.A.R.S. Barry and RE2 Claire are now officially revealed thanks to the Raid Character rundown. Those outfits are also unlockable by beating the main game for the campaign.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.

nice, I'm going to wait on playing until I can get my friend over then. We binged RE5 and RE6 together, might as well do it again.

I'm stuck on Claire's mission in episode 3.
Room with the second liver stuck in the spiky meat grinder thing, there's a switch you can flip to make the conveyor belt on the ceiling start moving, and there are stacks of meat. I'm stumped- anyone?
Edit: never mind, got it

You can make the meat fall down by shooting the hooks. I know, I spent a good 20 minutes there, too. It's rather poorly communicated
