Not sure why you wouldn't be able to but I'm assuming you can carry all of your beefed up weaponry to the new chapter?

Nope. Pistol with 30 rounds of ammo and whatever you find lying around. No option of taking your weapons from the main game into the new chapter. Not sure if the weapons you pick carry over into subsequent plays of the new chapter though.

I think you can't, but haven't tried it myself yet.

ARG! Damn it all.

Trust me, the new chapter would be completely pointless if you could carry over your arsenal of infinite RPG's etc.

It harks back to the original premise of "make the best, of what little you have", in true survival horror fashion.

Yeah, that does make a lot more sense now I've had a chance to read the Eurogamer review.

Am i right in assuming that the other Mercs Reunion characters are unlocked with the next DLC?

The Eurogamer review said Rebecca was unlockable with 'A' ranks on each map, which is complete bollocks, cause i have 'S' on them all!

Also, who's the 8th member?

We have: Chris x2, Sheva x2, Barry, Excella, Rebecca and ...?

It's odd how they've changed the timer layout on Public Assembly but none of the others (that i can tell/remember).

If anyone wants to play co-op Mercs Reunion feel free to add me. I had some okay-ish scores on the original, but that was mainly down to using S.T.A.R.S. Wesker + Hydra. :)

I struggle to keep control of the mobs when going for the 'headshot + melee = time bonus' routine of Midnight Wesker (and now Barry).

Oh man, nietzschedancing just blew my mind with this little tidbit. You can play the game old skool with static camera angles!

You need to

keep checking the main entrance door until a '?' appears

. Fuckin' awesome, I'm gonna go play it some more now. Such a cool piece of DLC. I hope this does well.

Ooh, can't have been far off the score stars Achievement - found loads of the buggers. I bet I was one short, no more.

Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed this. Great piece of DLC that felt sufficiently different to the main game to be worthwhile. Didn't mind that it was short - the pacing was masterful in a way that it wasn't in the main game. Terrific slow build, and then some ace low-ammo action with tough new enemies. The restrictions made it feel much more like survival horror in a traditional sense.

Overall - good value for money. It's odd. It goes WAY back into Surival Horror. You feel massively vulnerable the whole time (On Vet). Took a while to get out of the "killing machine" you feel like in both 4 and 5.

Some oddities - didn't like Axeman. Didn't like Axeman in confined spaces. Didn't like the fact that you can end up with 3 of them chasing you in the Jail. Check point system was annoying (that's how I ended up with 3. If I knew they followed you that far I'd have picked off one by one). There's not much "content" there to be honest - most of it's exploring/atmosphere.

I enjoyed it, and don't be grudge it's price. If you don't like cheap one hit kills though, don't go on Vet first try

think i did it on regular. died a few times by axeman, but i cant see it being that different on veteran or whatever the highest difficulty is.

You really have to know about axeman's weak spot on pro and your second + play through includes more of them regardless of difficulty. On pro they last ages. The crank killing bit has more bits to get on the higher difficulties.

They appear in different locations and in greater numbers depending on the difficulty. On Veteran it's real easy to run out of ammo if you shoot at them willy-nilly.

I imagine Pro will be more about running away, rather than taking 'em on.
