Im rather looking forward to this game, sounds like it could be a blast

Nice post again robert, have some stars.

I'll be getting this, i loved the first one and the only real thing that was crying out for was co-op (not the shop), which this has. Looks good fun with plenty to do and lots of toys to play with.

Looks pretty fun

The original was great but had some pretty wacky physics, like tanks driving up the side of trees wacky, so I hope that's been sorted.

Co-op here we come!

I was wondering when a thread was going to made about this, seen as most other games have threads made a few months before they're released, so thanks for that Robert.

Looks like it'll be pretty ace, and the addition of local multiplayer makes it appeal to me slightly more than some of the other shooters that are due to be released soon. I personally really enjoyed the first mercenaries, even if like sean said, it did have some pretty wierd physics.

I just loved it because you could blow up pretty much anything you wanted to

I'm looking forward to it a lot. That feature list is wrong though, it doesn't have splitscreen/local multiplayer.

CliffyBiro · 16 Aug 2008 at 20:51

The first was very repetitive but I did enjoy demolishing buildings with 3 RPG's.

Well that sucks

Doesn't put me off pre-ordering it though.

Where did you hear this?

Soulja · 17 Aug 2008 at 14:02

I like the sound of online co-op

It's been known for ages, the developers themselves said during E3 that they did try to do it but it's far too technically demanding for a game of that scale. You would essentially be doubling the amount of stuff of screen by having splitscreen.

Yes. Yes it does.

I agree.

The game looks like it hits a middle ground between last gen and current gen, which would have been ok if it came out when it was originally supposed to. Unfortunately it's been delayed so long now that it really doesn't look up to scratch imo.

I was going to post a thread on it, but I was hoping you'd post one.

I really can't wait for this.

My most anticipated game of this quarter. :cool:

It just looks like pure fun. Loads of vehicles, loads of airstrikes, loads of enemies, loads of buildings, loads of vegetation, loads of FUN. And co-op as well... I cannot wait.

Robert1986 · 19 Aug 2008 at 14:12

Bunch of new videos are online.

Watching the ground combat video just made me lose all faith in this game.

Wow, just terrible. What a shame.

Naffa · 19 Aug 2008 at 17:11

Still looks damn good to me.

Have a look at this video:

As I think it looks like mountains of fun. Fair enough, some of physics are out and the destructibility doesn't look to good in places, but it's something I'd gladly overlook considering the size etc. I'm still hugely excited about this game.
