Mercenaries 2

I'm a huge fan of the first Mercenaries game for the PS2. That's not to say that it didn't have its share of problems. Pandemic's next installment in the Mercenaries franchise looks to improve on everything the original offered. I'm very excited to play this game, the main reason being the online co-op.

Mercenaries 2 has one of the coolest co-ops I have seen around. The whole game is playable both single and cooperatively. You can jump in and out of a persons game with no problem. You don't have to wait or anything to get into the game, just receive an invite and you are there with him. You can also leave whenever with no problem. The main player just keeps on going wit his game.

I'm going to let this video do some of the talking for me now. Watch the whole thing. There is something towards the end that I believe is one of the coolest things I have seen in a game in a long time.

Mercenaries 2: Zero Rules Co-Op

The game comes out August 31 for 360, PS3, and PC.

Co-Op through Singleplayer.  Next big thang.

Game looks fun, hopefully the SP campaign is long (cause the MP will be just as much!)

The first game had a pretty lengthy campaign so I think it'll be ok as far as length goes.

I hope so!  It seems that the great games often give you good content, but just not enough of it!  Will be even better if each time you go through it is marginally different (random spawn enemies, etc.)

A post about Mercenaries 2?  Oh no you didn't!

That was absolutely the coolest gameplay element that I've seen yet.

I'd love to do some co-op stuff with you guys.  Only thing is, I'd have to get it for the PS3, cause me computer isn't nearly good enough to play that, and me Xbox is broke.

I had to suspend a bit of disbelief when they picked up the tank there though.  Its certainly possible, but firing the main gun while doing so would be extremely dangerous to both the tanker and the helicopter pilot.

Ahh, what the hell.  That looks fun as fuck, I don't care if its not totally realistic!

I'm getting it for the PC. I hope that someone else gets this for the PC so I have a buddy.

Only thing I don't like is that all the videos I've found are obviously on a console because of the sporadic stop/move motion.  There's a chance this game might be ported to PC, and I've seen a LOT of developers do poor ports.  I may wait a couple weeks to see reviews on the PC version from forums before I sink da moola into it.  Better safe than sorry!

It's coming out for the 360, PS3, and PC all on the same day. It's not going to be out on the consoles then ported over. Its already been developed on the PC platform. It'll be fine, I have a lot of faith in Pandemic (not so much EA ).

I don't know if anyone posted this already (if they did i'm sorry) but they have the best comercial ever
