Christopher Metz

For those that are unaware, the Gold Edition version contains all of RE5's DLC along with the original game, which includes Versus Mode, four costumes, the fan favorite Mercenaries Reunion, and two additional story mode chapters. RE5 on GFWL was special in that it had a co-op mod developed by dedicated community members. They took the local split screen code from the console version and added it into the game, which became popular with the PC community. However, with Gold Edition's transition to Steamworks, Capcom ultimately decided to omit the mod from the GRWL version entirely and effectively removed a key component for why people played that version.
