Im not actually directing this at anyone on the site, im just irked at the moment since I've been playing maybe the last 30 minutes and I've had around 6 partners because these idiots keep getting themselves killed, and then have the nerve to quit the match at the continue when im trying to talk to these guys over the mic.

1. If what youre doing isnt working, LISTEN TO YOUR PARTNER

2. Know what weapons are right for that particular mission

3. Dont run away from your partner when things get hairy

4. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED

5. Stop running ahead in a rush only to get killed and then start screaming for help.


I mean, this should all be common sense in a game where youre partnered up, correct? Ive met better players on Normal.

I mean I literally just played with this guy in Chapter 3 on professional and he stands there with the rocket launcher telling me to "go" while hes glued in a corner like an idiot until he eventually got swarmed and killed, and I was nowhere near to save him. He quits.

Before that I get this guy on CHAPTER 1-1...thats trying to run back inside the building after the executioner comes around the corner. Im like "Dude come back, come back" He gets killed in the house.


I mean it goes on and on and on. From people trying to be Rambo and getting shot up to the guys that are still busting open every visible crate for handgun bullets when theyre carrying a sniper rifle.

1) Not everyone is a Pro at the game. Telling someone not to play a difficulty they need to play on for achievements because they're not good enough to play on that mode is just plain silly.

2) There is nothing wrong with opening all crates to try and get additional items or stocking up on ammo even if you don't currently have that gun equipped. There's an inventory between levels for a reason where you can drop that handgun ammo for future use.

3) Yes, tons of people can be outright 'stupid' on this and every other game and I sympathize with you. But, that's why when I play online with RANDOM people I go at 'their' pace, not my own, and try to help them through the game and never 'expect' them to know how to do something or what weapons to carry for any particular fight.

Fact is, I sit and babysit them and try to let them do a lot of things and show them what to do. If worst comes to worse, I simply kill an enemy or perform whatever needs to be done myself and save their asses. I'm a support role, not the major player.

If you want to play through a game with a competent partner and do things a certain way, play with a friend or at least make sure that random has all achievements for the main game earned first before joining them or letting them join you.

Not to mention the main campaign is extremely boring if you rush through it at a Pro knowledge. Which is exactly why I purposely join games with people running through it for the first time. As I know I can handle the situation if it goes sour and save their asses, but, have the patience to let them explore, read, take their time, and figure things out. The simple messes people can get themselves into, as well as watching people trying to figure out how to deal with a situation for the first time is what makes the game fun and engaging again rather than a 'routine' when you play with other so called "pros'. And if they're simply ridiculously stubborn and incompetent, I leave. No sweat off my back.

Just dont play Professional if you cant play and you insist on running ahead and getting yourself killed with an unpowered handgun. Thats my point.


The hardest difficulty isnt so you can lend a helping hand to a partner that wants to item horde.

You don't need to be a 'pro' to play Pro is my point. It's an achievement to beat the game on that difficulty. So even if they're horrid at the game, they still need to play it to get the achievement. Who are you to tell them they aren't allowed to play it?

If you don't like how someone plays, don't join their match, or leave it if they're bugging you and find someone more on your preferred level.

Either way, if you 'join' someones game, it's 'their' game and you're joining it. You can't hop in and try to be a control freak and tell them what to do and expect them to go at 'your' pace and do what you want.

Thats irrelevant and your logic is flawed. You went on an entire tangent based off assumption when I'm the one hosting professional missions. Regardless...


Getting all the achievements is your prerogative but that doesnt make your attempt any more noble. I'm not going to play Call of Duty on the hardest setting and im some crappy Lt. 1st Class rank with no worthwhile guns unlocked.

The same way you shouldnt join someones Professional game with the H&K handgun and Ithaca shotgun that arent even fully powered.


Fight for equality on an issue less pointless.

^Hi, the world doesn't revolve around you. If some little kid wants to load up his brother's copy of RE5 for the very first time himself and start on Pro that his brother already unlocked, and run through with no weapons unlocked or upgraded and has NO idea what he's doing, that's HIS choice. It may very well be ludicrious and stupid on his behalf to do so. But, it's still his choice to do so.

And no amount of crying or whining from you is going to change that. If you don't want to play with these people, DON'T play with them. It really is THAT simple.

Oh, and for the record bud. I NEVER use fully upgraded guns in ANY mode, or any of the special unlocked ones. Whenever I play with anyone, I use only the basic DEFAULT un-upgraded guns you would have by that point in the game. No magnums and grenade launchers in the first level etc. I almost never use a shotgun to begin with.

And I beat Pro everytime just fine. Because, I actually know how to play and don't have to rely on overpowered guns to get me through. Should I make an argument about how people like you, who rely on those shouldn't play Pro too now?

I agree with Ikari pretty much, if you don't wanna play pro with people you deem 'terrible', then stick to playing with friends only or something. :)

I actually like playing Pro with people who are worse then me. Not only does it provide quality entertainment but makes me feel like a good guy for helping them lol. That and I beat the game so many times by this point I don't even care
