All I know is that I saw a video of someone playing it at TGS last month and they killed like infinite zombies without getting hurt by just mashing on the melee button and it looked DUMB
So I've found that split screen is somewhat of a different animal and honestly so bloody enjoyable. You can share items and only single sets of ammo and other items spawn in a given area. By the end of my friend and I's run through the Leon campaign on Veteran we both had a handful of bullets left and we were constantly finding ourselves with next to no ammo. It was tense and thoroughly enjoyable.

Uh, you have a limited stamina meter. I try to melee things all the time - I hate running out of ammo and I run out of stamina all the time. You basically have to do some shooting as well.
Finished Leon's campaign yesterday, couldn't keep count of the ridiculous deaths I had.
Fighting bunch of zombies, a burning ambulance comes from nowhere and drives over me okay?
Phase changes on boss-fight and game auto-saves. I as Leon have to run from it while my co-op partner has to cover me from distance or the boss instagibs me. Of course my partner used literally all of her ammo during the previous phase so in the split seconds we have I'm trying to run while trading her ammo and she has to reload+take the shot. I had 26 deaths in that chapter, she had a couple. That was intense and hard in a not intended way...
Also had corrupted game data once having to replay one sequence couple times and install the game again.
I'm pretty worried about going to Chris and Jake campaigns as I heard there's a lot of shooting in them and the cover system seems to suck nuts.

I didn't even get my pre-purchase DLC although that might not be Capcoms fault.

Lol I died to the ambulance too... I just wanted to skip all those fucking zombies because I hate wasting ammo (horde it all for bosses and let loose) then BAM random ass fucking ambulance. Really hilarious and lots of fun.
While I certainty can't say this lived up to what i expected/hoping, it's still hella fun Co-Op at least.
Probably not worth the day-1 purchase, but I rarely purchase games nowadays sooooooooooo...... Also made me wanna relive the badassery that was Leon in RE4.
I regret having paid 60 dollars for this pile of dung. Worst RE game to date (from the main series).
I can't believe it has gone this far downhill from some of the most breakthrough games ever made. I guess this will teach me to buy a game blindly based on a great series reputation. It's like some below average 3rd person shooter.
I took my copy back for trade in to get sleeping dogs and borderlands 2. far superior and worthwhile.
I'm absolutely loving the game so far and with free DLC on the way it's only going to get better.
I really like the amount of character development Chris has gotten over the series and I felt like his campaign really served to make me better understand where he's at in the series. At first I thought his RE6 campaign was a just a retread of the, "Is it all worth fighting for" idea from RE5 but it's really not the same thing.
RE5 was all about him wondering if any progress was actually being made in the war on bio-terror, killing Wesker and saving Jill solidifies for him that it is. RE6 files reveal that after RE5 he specifically asked to go back to leading a team in the Special Operations Unit instead of being an Agent because he knew that eventually he'd die or retire and didn't know if there'd be anyone good enough to take his place and defeat the next big bad. So he made it his express purpose to find a worthy successor before he retires.
That's what makes Piers's death and the conversation Chris has with him in the elevator so sad. The conversation affirms that Chris thinks he has finally found the person he thinks should succeed him. That's also partly why every death was hitting him so hard because firstly and obviously this is his team and he cares about them but also because every death is basically a reminder of why he has to stick around. I feel like by the end of the game, Chris feels that Piers will take over so he really doesn't give a shit about his own life, which is why he's so indifferent during his confrontation with Jake. When Piers dies, Chris isn't continuing on in the BSAA just because Piers wanted him to or doing it in Piers's memory, he's doing it because the guy who was supposed to replace him is gone.
I just finished Leon's campaign and I found it very enjoyable. My biggest gripe so far is that + Show Spoiler +
the number of times you fight Simmons towards the end of the chapter is quite frankly ridiculous. Three long boss battles, one right after another, got quite tiring for me, not to mention how silly it was that he kept reappearing.
The gameplay was an improvement from RE5, and the co-op with Helena was certainly much better than it was in 5 as well. Like I said, though, Leon's chapter was a bit of a let down IMO.
