Capcom previously announced that those who preorder Resident Evil 6 at Gamestop, Amazon or Best Buy would be getting an exclusive map. Today, the company has revealed that three bonus maps will be available for The Mercenaries.

Check the next post to get the first look at these maps.

The Catacombs (Gamestop Bonus Map)

There are more than just enemies lurking in these catacombs. Be weary of booby traps ready to ensnare you around every corner! Are your reflexes quick enough to avoid them?







High Seas Fortress (Amazon Bonus Map)

An expansive stage that takes you from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the hangars inside. Engage in intense shoot-outs on the deck, but hone your martial arts skills inside the narrow confines of the hangers.







Rail Yard (Best Buy Bonus Map)

A multi-level stage in the steel and concrete confines of a railroad yard. Enemies are lurking everywhere, from inside the trains to the roof of the yard. You'll have to stay on the move to stay alive!

Rail yard looks the best to me. Reminds me of the subway from Outbreak. Catacombs looks like shit in my opinion, reminds me of the underground ruins/caves from RE5, so no thank you. High Seas fortress looks alright. That one shot of one of the rooms (control room?) looks great. Outside reminds me of the boat stage from RE5, looks decent anyway. I might end up pre-ordering from best buy just for the rail yard map, but knowing Capcom, all three will most likely be available for purchase not long after release on the xbox marketplace and PSN.

I like the Rail Yard stage the most too. The layout and art direction remind me Outbreak's Underbelly (makes sense, considering Eiichiro Sasaki is also directing RE6). And yeah, all three will be available on XBL and PSN shortly after the release of the game. Happens all the time haha

They all look interesting, especially the rail yard. Looking forward to this game. =)

I guess it really is too difficult to stay away from ships. I like the Rail Yard as well. The Catacombs seems interesting because of the traps. Could be annoying but can also keep you on your toes.

They look amazing.

As nice as they all look, this only confirms that RE6 is gonna have DLC (disc locked content) and a hell of a lot of crap they're gonna charge extra for us to access.

I don't mind DLC, I don't even mind disc locked shit. It's just the way capcom has been doing it lately with locking almost half the damn games on the disc and charging ridiculous prices for every tiny little thing individually that I don't care for. And I'm really scared for how badly they're gonna do this with RE6 considering it's the game they fully intend to make the most money off of this year. So you can rest assured it's gonna be even worse than SFxT and ORC combined in that regard.

These pre-order maps just confirm Disc locked crap DLC is already underway.

I can easily see the 4th scenario we were imagining in the other topic being pay for DLC on the disc along with mercs/versus coming with only like 3-4 chars to start with the rest as pay for DLC, and the same with maps for both. Give us maybe 3-4 maps and the rest locked on the disc as DLC. And of course Mercs is unlocked from the start but the other multiplayer modes will be pay for DLC just like versus in RE5.

Meh, I'm just really annoyed at this trend on capcom's part lately. And really frustrated at how much I'm gonna have to shell out just to get to play everything I wanna play on RE6.

I'll just wait for a special preorder version that offers all of these. :P
Managed to get all 8 weapons out of a non-CE edition of ORC just cause I found a good deal here in Sweden.

If I can't get this when I preorder in my country, I will wait for the gold edition. Capcom is not going to screw me like they did with RE5.
