Bring it!

 

Some games just seem to be made for messing around. Storyline and missions will be cast aside from time to time, since everyone wants to throw a truck at someone some days. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is a game perfect for such a day. Sure, the story is plenty amusing. After all, you'll be shot in the gluteus maximus before long. It's just nice to cast all those "mission" responsibilities aside now and then. Especially when some silly person hands you a rocket launcher without the "play nice" disclaimer.

While playing the first Mercenaries, I once got a lucky shot on a helo pilot who was attacking my escort convoy. The chopper swerved, fell, exploded, and the fiery wreck swept us all off the cliff. I'll never forget that moment, and Mercs 2 is full of them.

The best time I had was on the oil rig my friend called in a bunker buster to take it out, well i hijack a chopper and he is screaming in the mic "Fire up the blades!" so i get it going and I take off without him saying "there isnt time to save you" so i flew off into the sunset without him. good times.

Me and Samoza were playing the game, both in helicopters. As is common in our co-op sessions, he randomly decided to attack me.

This time around the game glitched out, and as his rocket hit my helicopter, his blew up!!

A really fun game to play - but must be played in co-op for the best experience.

Agreed 100% I wish they had added more mercs to play as.

JG and I rocked this game something fierce! We had a ton of glitched moments and also a few issues with the tether. It really comes down to making one person "in charge" who gets to call the shots. After establishing that it's much easier and you get more done.

REALLY fun game though.

If anyone wants to try some wild wacky stuff, there are a couple DLC for mercs2. I think I may be the only one that downloaded the stuff. One was a tank battle mode and the other was a skin set to make the the mercs look like Obama and Palin for 160points with no return or salability is for me the big downside on DLC. Im was surprised that political likeness wasnt moderatex out. There have been much less controversial Littlebigplanet levels taken down.
Anyone else hear about these skins?

KO -


That DLC was actually free for a few months. But now they upped it to that 160 price point. Should have got it when it was free =\

THat reminds me...i still have to finish the last mission...but I can't seem to pull it off alone...

i've been tempted to get this game but no split screen . i might just have to splurge and get another 360 sometime.

That's quite the splurge, you'd need another TV as well...

my computer isn't too far away and has a nice 20" LCD. there are several games that have been dropping online split-screen so its tempting. but of course that means i'd have to buy 2 of each game & DLC. that's where the real expense would be after a while. blows

I bought Mercenaries2 for the PS3- I thought it was pretty cool but it confusesed me a little and I still haven't tried the co-op in it. I did get the DLC because it only cost $1.99 & I've noticed nothing different
