A Death in the Family
Whats one way to cause a deep, genuine emotional response toward a character in your audience? Why by killing them off of course (the character that is, not the audience). With the situation getting as dire as its become by Resident Evil 6 its getting more and more difficult to imagine everyone surviving, and from what we know of Resi 6 so far it's only going to get worse before it gets better. If Capcom were to write out one of the main characters my money would be on it being either Jill or Leon. If it were Jill, then Chris would be left with someone to avenge (a classic story element, for good reason) and if it were Leon then the brother/sister team would be left to mark the Valentine family name all up and down some undead anus.
