Superzombie Brad

Capcom have always made it very clear that the Raccoon City incident was T-virus related, ONLY.

Give me one, just one reference, be it a file, cutscene, you name it, where "they" say anything that the G-virus was also leaked and contributed to the citizens of Raccoon City becoming the walking dead.

Birkin ate them all? Where, exactly? I see him smash one tube and crush a second (you can see the tubes remain, still covered in a strange purple virus, fall to the ground). There is nothing to suggest he eats them, and certainly nothing to suggest he stops to eat them all.

it shows his chest and there is a grinding noise as pieces of glass and purple goo fall. It might be only clairs cutscene.

there is one clearly purple vial

I see a grey vial surrounded by green goo

Birkin did wish to keep it out of the hands of Umbrella. Smashing the vials works equally well. Sure, Ada could rummage around in the shattered glass to try and get a badly contaminated sample if she happened to find exactly where that little scene occurs. Personally I suspect she may be a atouch smarter than that. Of course, if Birkin's mind was functioning correctly he could have eaten them. The roaring rather suggests his mind isn't functioning perfectly, although it still is operating.

whats more primative than eating them. -_- He wants more virus so he can be stronger

You're right about the eyes. It's a case of Capcom retconning things. I haven't bother looking but I guess REmake is the same way. That simply leaves why the zombies in RE2 reanimate so much faster. It took about two weeks for the Outbreak in the Manor to get out of control. The Raccoon city Outbreak lasts two weeks.

As I said before :facepalm: How fast you turn is based on how strong your immune system is, How resestent to the virus your body is, and how strong/large the dose of your infection was.
The mansion outbreak was caused by marcus's leeches. They would have provided a small infection like the rats. this makes the person sick but not turn for a longer period. Raccoon took awhile and so did the mansion.

such as the Licker

probably know this but heres a refresh because people forget.
Licker comes from a ??? which comes from a crimson head which comes from a normal zombie

can the above unrelated posts be moved to another thread?

Agreed, since this thread is related to blowing away Brad, with various means on Nightmare mode.

The majority of the posts have absolutely no business being here, do they?

How about a little leeway here, hmm? ...sure in-direct related points could be included.

i still dont get how the crimson head turns to a licker, brad as a licker is just weird thinking.

It's hard to work out. Mostly because the Crimson heads only show up once, and in a different game to the Lickers. I'm guessing that the mutation that reanimates a second time just keeps going, eventually peeling away the blood soaked skin, the brain cracks out of the skull, tounge and those new claws keep growing.

Lickers and Crimson Heads are the only 'natural' mutation of the T-Virus too. Hunters and such are all lab created monsters. Which, if you've studied a little biology, is strange because random mutations all causing the same characteristics are pretty wierd. They're all random mutations, after all. Of course, attempting to apply logic and science to a survival horror game is...akward.

On the other hand there's no reason Brad, after he was killed a second time, couldn't have become a Crimson Head and a Licker in short order. That's a nice thought. I killed Brad twice.

You know what? I realize I have a life, so I can't be bothered reading all that text that some of you spoilered. I realize that you guys have heaps of complex views, but please try and keep it short and sweet.
