1. For Achievements: There’s achievements that require you to both have every gun in your inventory and to have every gun in your inventory with max stats. If you could trade weapons you could easily just hand another player all the guns maxed out and bam, they get points even if they haven’t played the game at all.

2. To keep early players from cheating by getting high level guns from others.

3. Game progression: There are certain guns (typically the best in the class) you can only unlock once you’ve maxed out a certain gun in the same class. Allowing the trade of weapons can easily net early players with guns you really shouldn’t be getting unless you take a lot of time farming or you play the game multiple times.

However, you can trade guns [in the main menu screen] if only the first player is signed into an account and the second player is a guest (Which you can do in splitscreen on both 360 and PS3.)

If you’re gonna give RE5 a black doom give it to the PS3 version, for it’s splitscreen not allowing two players to sign into the game at once, thus requiring the 1st player to buy all the guns, health items, items, and gun upgrades for two people with only one players’ worth of money.

I’ve thought of offering them up as Musical Misfits before, but they don’t quite fit the bill

I don’t even know what the bill is. I have had 3 songs that have been chosen, and 2 of them are from current generation games, the other was a gamecube title.
