As happy as we were to learn that "Mercenaries" mode was returning for Resident Evil 5, we were a little put out to learn that you could only play with a friend if he was sharing the couch with you. Luckily our disappointment was short-lived, as IGN reports the mode has been patched on 360 to add online play, before the public has even gotten its mitts on it. Update: A patch for the PS3 version has been released.
The evil won't be resident for a few days yet, but you can simulate the mode for yourself right now: Just check out these videos and imagine a racist, homophobic 12-year-old is shouting at you and using up all the first aid spray.

it should have been online. This game is all about co-op and id much rather have a human player than a AI to fight beside

That scared me a little when it only said the Xbox 360 version had gotten the update.
Thank you for bolding the word "Update". It saved me from throwing my laptop across the room
