I'm tempted to get this (once I get a 3DS, which is probably soon).
I still rank in the top 500 or so for every map in Mercs on 360 for RE5. I was just a fiend with that mode. Haven't played it seriously for a long time though.
How are the enemy numbers? Mercs relies on lots of enemies at the same time to chain combos and be time-efficient. Is it scaled down too much?

Rebecca has grenade launcher spam and her load out starts with 5 herbs, or if you feel confident about your sniping skill, try Chris and his load out. Use the pilot suit if you have it. Use his rifle against the executioners and shotgun on everything else. Don't feel like you have to rush the boss once he appears. When you down the BOW, run up and shotgun it. When it's about to get up and you're afraid of taking damage, use a herb.Sadist said:

On 5-5 I just used Krauser's loadout. His arrows fire fast enough to fight through crowds pretty easily, and you can either spam like a madman at the executioners or just run through the stage's circular layout enough to always avoid them.
Then it's just a matter of laying down a mine for the BOW to step on and then hitting it square with a single rocket and you're done!
(easier said than done)
Edit: also those executioners are absolutely neutered if you have the crab claws required to master moving while shooting. If you shoot while backing up their overhead strike will never hit you.

FFFF double post
If you guys want to compare your high scores because of the lack of online leader boards, I made a Google Docs spreadsheet for entering scores.

Need to figure out how to change my router's wireless channel before I play today to avoid disconnecting whenever the phone rings ]:

looks like I got the high score for 5-5 duo so far on the spread sheet.. I've been playing it over and over to grind all skills to lvl 3. its a short mission once you figure out what to do.
heres my plan for 5-5:
edit:
heres my plan for 5-5:
first you must lose all fear of the executioners. backing up while shooting them works great, but dont backup so far that you walk into the other exe behind you, run past the one you are facing and turn around if needed. also at the start I run towards the exe I'm facing so that I will have more room to backup. krauser with giant killing can kill them in around 7-9 arrows. kill the 2 exes then gather some bonus time and items from the crates, mines help a lot. you need 15 kills before the boss comes. when the boss comes 2 executioners will also spawn and they will follow the boss around to get you when you are fighting the boss. you can try to kill the boss before the exes come but I prefer to kill the exes first because they are hunting you down and will hit you when youve got the boss on the ground hurt. the 2 exes always spawn from the same 2 spots on the upper level near the 2 exploding drums. I try to get my 15th kill near the stairs with the drum in the corner so when the exe jumps over the wall I shoot the barrel to blow him up then finish him off. the other exe will be coming from where the other red barrel is uptop and I kill him too. with the 2 exes gone just drop mines in front of the boss or whatever explosives and hit the weak spot with the strongest weapon you have(rocket/magnum/snipe). if you take too long to kill the boss 2 more exes will spawn, if that happens you arent doing it right!
edit:
there are 3 barrels uptop, the 2 you want are near the stairs, the second one is above the ladder in middle of stage.
Is the online as bad for everyone, Or is it something on my end? I can maybe get 1 or 2 games before I start getting white screen error messages every time I try and join a game. It searches for players fine, But I can't join them. I have to back to the main menu and turn the wifi switch on and off.
Added my scores 
. Just slowly making my way through the game. Had some fun Co-Op games last night (Especially 4-5!)
. Just slowly making my way through the game. Had some fun Co-Op games last night (Especially 4-5!)I sometimes have an error trying to initially connect online, but after 2-3 tries it usually works. I've also had issues joining people, but I assume it's because someone has joined those games before I could press A.Almyn said:

I had a long session with Barry on the shipyard and damn I thought id get a double S but no. Ended at wave 13/14.
There is a nice place to stay and camp though for bosses. Like there is a gap of crates between you and while waiting you can set up mines as traps, while snipping far away. The enemy almost never gets behind you too. However I wont even try redoing that crazy wave level again until I got more perks to play with. My problem was being reckless with ammo.

If I feel like it, I will probably finally try out Level 4 later in the day.

Yeah, I think you have to select your partner quickly or another player "steals" the place.Almyn said:
