What use is cover against a horde of unarmed zombies?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?
I never had a problem with RE4's stop while shooting system, if anything it added to the tension.
Changing a games control scheme at this late a date is far too risky a move. It sounds like it's being done to cater for the masses, the masses that didn't like RE4, and it's gonna suffer for it at the expense of those who love RE4.
