| You know, I feel this mode is due a name change. It was called "Mercenaries" in RE3 because all of the playable characters were, in fact, actually mercenaries. But Jill Valentine isn't a mercenary. Chris Redfield isn't a mercenary. Claire Redfield isn't a mercenary. Hunk may get "styled" as one, but because he was trained by Umbrella as part of the USS, he isn't by technical definition a mercenary.
None of these characters are at all mercenaries in any way, so calling it "Mercenaries" makes no sense at all. It's like making a game about the US Marines, but calling it "US Army". |

They did use other types of mini games using different titles, Extreme Battle Game and Battle Game before too. They could have gone with that. It just became recognizable after RE4._________________ -Vae Victus-Suffering To The Conquered-"The ultimate lifeform...Tyrant", Albert Wesker, REmakeConsumer Recreation Services  |

| In RE3 mercs, operation mad jackal, there was a line there
"they have forgotten what fear and survival mean"
.. true they aren't mercenaries but they have the power and guts to become one
in the deadly battlefield killing and killing |

Mercenaries and soldiers aren't the same thing, no. |

| I don't think the characters personality or what they truly are in the story really matters in Mercs. It's like an alternate reality, where even Chris and Wesker can team up. Maybe in this universe they are all mercenaries. |
