So do proximity mines hurt other players or just majini in Versus?

Cool, thanks. Can't wait to get it. My PS3 is still off getting fixed
Woo, got a 25 combo in Slayers. A lot of people play that mode just like Survivors, makes it pretty easy to let them all fight and seclude yourself with some Majini. I've pretty frequently won it with around 40-50K with the second player around 20K.

I would get a laptop cooling pad for your 360. That way when it's running it keeps it cooler and when the 360 gets shut off it's not quite a shock to the system as you can keep the fan running to ease the temp. down. It's worked so far for my 2006 X-360. I don't have the money to waste on a newer Arcade so I have to keep this one going as long as possible. Trying to keep a 360 running is the real Survival Horror this gen. :lolSectus said:

Played for many hours now and still enjoy this a ton. Most people won't like it given how it is, thats understandable.I like it cause its still very much RE5, just with people added in as enemies. Basically imagine Mercenaries mode and in the mass of enemies there is another human controlling a character that becomes another enemy to you.Slayers is basically Mercs mode with competing players, you get points for killing enemies, getting a long combo chain, the usual. The issue I have with this mode is that the enemies seem to spawn the same way they do in normal mercenaries mode, it becomes hard to find enemies to kill at times. I usually choose STARS Wesker and blow awayanyone that gets in my way, hydra for the win.
The best mode is survivors which is a mode where you get points only for damaging and killing other players. Enemies are still around but you can ignore them, your target is the other players. So you go on the hunt, you all start with basic weapons, the good stuff is hidden throughout the stage. Obviously the guy the gets the better weapons has a big advantage but they drop it when they die. So the best weapons are always changing hands. I have a lot of fun trying to find the best way to kill someone. Running up to them and just shooting results in a standoff where the person that shot first will always win. So its sometimes better to stay back and move a lot, use grenades, use the environment to keep obstacles between you and the enemy until their health is down. It is so satisfing to have a guy think he got the jump on you, but you are able to escape his inital attack, regroup and launch an attack of your own that kills him.
This mode really shines when its on teams, a team that stays together and works together will always beat out a disorganized team. If you got a partner that works totally in tandem with you its hard to lose. You will be able to keep each other alive. You can use different attacks, like one can stun an enemy while the other is gunning them down. If you find one enemy alone its curtains for him, 2 against 1 means its over in this mode. My favorite moments of this mode is when someone knows they are screwed so they just run, all of a sudden a huge chase breaks out. Since the only way to shoot is to stop, you have no choice but to run right after them. Soon they are jumping through windowns, breaking down doors, going up ladders, all through the level, it turns into a movie like on foot chase scene. When you have partners chasing the same guy one can break off the chaseand try to find a shortcut to cut the enemy off.
One cool thing about this mode is that the match is never over. There are large handicaps in place to make sure the losing players always has a shot at a come back. They get a multiplier on all their points, also when one player dies they lose points while the other gains. So you always have this back and forth going on in the match, keeps things interesting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TvQj8Ui9uQ&fmt=22 - Another versus mode video from me.
Just played Versus for several hours straight.
WOW. Not only is it a ton of fun, but it feels so unique. All the techno music and player chitchat (I never knew PS3 users were so chatty) make Versus feel wholly unlike anything in RE5. It really feels like RE5 just got 30 percent bigger.
I knew I'd like Team Survivors -- and rest assured, it does not disappoint -- but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the free-for-all Survivors. It's very satisfying to sneak up on a firefight between two or three other players and add to their damage before rushing in for the kill.
A note about the online culture: of the many games I joined tonight, everyone was very friendly save for one lobby that already had three people, and the first thing they said was "If you don't have a mic, back the fuck out." They all laughed at me, and booted me quickly enough. I do have a mic, the one that came with Warhawk, but I didn't want to use it. Still, I toyed with them a bit by joining their lobby several more times. They can't start their game until they have a full four players.
Also, everyone online sounds like one of two types: the "Dude, bro, that shit was fucking sick" whites and the "Yo dawg" Randy Jackson blacks. Nothing wrong with either type, as on the whole they were friendly, but I just don't understand how everyone sounds so alike. O_O
Saving exchange points to unlock characters will be a bitch. I'm somewhere in the 35,000-37,000 range. I'm saving up for STARS Wesker, reasoning the other sub-20,000 characters will be easy enough to earn. Of course there's always Midnight Wesker with his 30,000 points, but hey, something to work for.

I've got to say that it sucks to be in the lead in slayers with 40,000 points and 4 minutes left only to get a connection error. This has happened to me on all but 3 rounds of versus. Other then that I get disconnected from every online mode (story mode and mercs.) It really sucks to not be able to fully experience this game.
I usually only play starting around 10:30 p.m. Eastern time. I stay up the longest on Monday nights, Wednesday nights, Fridays nights and Saturday nights.Kyouji said:
Hey, the idea just struck me: Couldn't two people get exchange points quickly by taking turns letting each other win? Just play one-on-one in Slayers, pick a stage that starts with little time (Missile Area?), then one person gets a point or two and wins. 2,500 exchange points are earned by the winning player, and now it's the other guy's turn. Seems like a rotten-egg-style exploit that could be done rather quick to unlock the full roster, useful for people like me who don't have a massive surplus to spend (I don't get to play Mercs nearly as much as I'd like).

Haha, I love rejoining lobbies I get booted out of. I went into one earlier and got booted solely because I picked Wesker, so I rejoined a few times and soon he just dropped the whole match entirely. :lol

I'd also have to recommend Tribal Sheva(she is 15000), even though I mainly play as S.T.A.R.S. Wesker. Her bow can easily beat the Hydra and L. Hawk, which surprised me. Plus if you're good at using her from campaign/mercs the lack of a laser sight can actually be a good thing, it's a lot easier to dodge people aiming across the map when you see the sight aiming at you.
Neiteio said:
I think that'd work, but I still think SSing Mercs would be more fun and just as effective. 3-4 minutes (does Missile Area start off much lower than that?) in the Versus modes for 2,500 points versus 7-8 minutes in Mercs for 5,000 points.
Kyouji said:
Yeah, SSing Mercs is the funnest way to get points I think. Either way, just naturally playing a lot of Versus gets you a lot over time, for pure exchange points farming I'd suggest 5-1 with the IRL, and you could alternate it with 6-2 if you get bored of it.

If you're actually fighting like that, than you're doing it wrong. The fighting is certainly more awkward than your standard shooter, but the only time I ever do a face-to-challenge like that is if I have a clear advantage (i.e. shotgun versus machine gun, magnum versus handgun, etc.). Otherwise (like someone already mentioned) you might as well just flip a coin to see who wins.anddo0 said:

How hard is it to get the trophies that are attached to versus mode?
Anyone kind to share PAL/UK Resident Evil 5: Versus DLC?
I know it is not usual praxis, but since PlayStation Store does not allow people form Croatia to buy anything from it - and I would really want to play RE5: Versus DLC - I'm looking for anyone with PAL/UK game willing to share with me one of 5 downloads of Versus DLC in good will.
Thank you in advance, if there is anyone willing to do so please contact me on PM.
Regards.

Getting some pretty bad lag today on the 360 version.
Just got STARS Wesker in Versus. My brother played a shitload of Versus this afternoon while I did homework, which proved difficult for me since everytime I passed through the room I wound up watching him for 10 minutes at a time. Seeing four people duke it out with grenade launchers with two Reapers pinning them in a corner was probably the most exciting thing I've ever seen in RE5. Holy hell.
I'm sorry, but if someone has RE5 and a working Internet connection and a valid credit card and they don't scrounge up a measley $5 for one of the best multiplayer experiences that can only be understood by playing it, well... What shame. What a bloody shame. For me, these $5 feel like I added $60's value to the game.
I'd change one thing, though. When you join a lobby with 3/4 people and someone beats you to the punch so it says "Lobby is full," it should send you back to the server listings instead of booting you to the Versus title screen.

Finally got the platinum! Don't think I'll be picking up Versus though, not really my cup of tea. I guess that means Resident Evil 5 is being put to bed until I get the itch to play it again.

Do you have to have a full 4 player room for the wins to register in survivor/slayer. I think 3 players is more of a sweet spot.
Had some great rounds just now playing with greenjerk. We'll have to try staying on the same team next time! It was nice not having people disconnect on us too much; think we only had one dude who bailed after I humbled him. :lol
I love Survivor mode, but I think playing with just three people is the sweet spot for Public Assembly. On the more complex stages though, four is better.
