Is it really that big a deal? I could see if this were story based, but Leon being a favorite character means what exactly in this game? What loss is there?

Yes it is. It's the same like having a Naruto game but Naruto isn't in it. Or a DBZ fighting game without Goku.

So Resident Evil 1, 3, Code Veronica, Zero and 5 are like a Naruto game coming out without the title character involved? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Everything that anyone likes or prefers about Leon Kennedy isn't even going to be present in this game. He's no more or less another paintjob of Chris Redfield from an action standpoint.

Ok fine this is like having a Naruto fighting game without having Sasuke in it. Does that sound better to you?

Not really, since I don't know who or what Sasuke is. Bottom line, the only reason you like Leon Kennedy so much to begin with is because of the story driven elements in the game, and those aren't present here in Mercenaries. He's nothing more than another skin for some of the other available characters, like Chris Redfield. If this were a story driven adventure featuring the entire cast and they left out Leon, I could see your point. However, this is a multiplayer affair, erasing his best attributes. I can see wanting the entire cast in there, but I can't see how leaving any character out is a deal breaker, when they all do the same crap in the game.
