[B]Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction[/B] is a revolutionary, 3rd person action-shooter game set in the near future and inspired by real world events. On the eve of a historic reunification of North and South Korea, a ruthless general stages a military coup to take control of North Korea and threatens the world with nuclear war. The international community launches a global task force to stabilize the region. However, when diplomatic efforts collapse and the region descends into anarchy they announce a one hundred million dollar bounty on the North Korean general and his top military and scientific advisors. The targets are identified in a ?most wanted? list in the form of a 52-card deck of playing cards. As one of the top operatives for a private mercenaries company called Executive Operations, you have been called in to collect on these bounties.

[B]Mercenaries 2: World in Flames[/B] is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment. Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles – you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance.
[highlight]In short:[/highlight] [B]You are Man with gun. You blow shit up. You get paid.[/B]
If you like games like Just Cause 1/2, Grand Theft Auto etc. You'll love that.

Unfortunately its not on steam, but you can get it still easy and very cheap.

First one was fun for a few hours.
I like that song more than the game.
Second game was terrible but I wasted days on POD.
There was a rumor very recently that EA's un-announced third person title will be Mercs 3 but it will be MP centric.
I know there was that shitty trailer for a Mercs MP centric game a while back AND there was a vid of the canned Mercs 3 but this one isn't being done by Pandemic.
Second one never stopped entertaining me.
Since 3 years. But I never played the first one so I don't know.
And EA is publishing Mercs Inc
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercs_Inc[/url]
Its developed by the remains of Pandemic.
I loved the second one, never knew why I just really enjoyed it.
I bought the second one despite the bad reviews. Honestly I played the game more than I thought. It just seemed very fun. I actually liked the setting and the ability to use airstrikes and other shit to blow up towns. Although the game was unfinished and bad. Like the grappling hook was a metal pole?
Well, it was kind of great. I loved the Viking Comments.
Are the servers shat down by the way? I can't connect to games.
And yeah, Its horribly underrated. Better for us - cheaper in stores.
I never really noticed unfinished content though.
The song was amazing I always wondered if they released the soundtrack for the game.
Mercs 1 is a such a good game, too bad the sequel turned out to be terrible.
Man, I never got around to playing the second one, first one was absolutely awesome.
I actually played the second one a lot longer than I should have
it was pretty much just cause 1.5
Second was pretty mediocre compared to the first, it could have been so much more if they just spent a bit more time with it. It had it moments though.
Why are people hating the second one?
[QUOTE=proch;28844587]Why are people hating the second one?[/QUOTE]
A: because it was terrible
Was it ever possible to play as obama?

I think they released a DLC with a bunch of bonus "challenge" missions where you could play as famous people (including Obama).
First one was one of my favorite games ever.
The second one was awful.

I like how they added that instead of fixing any of the game's bugs.
the first one was fucking awesome
the second... not so much

remember this glitch happening to me as well as the one where you would get launched into thousands of feet in the air by making a magnet pass below a building and then retracting.
So you are saying me that the first one is awesome and the second one was terrible because it was terrible ?
No, seriously, tell some reasons. I, for one, haven't played the first one, and the second one was great fun and I didn't see many flaws about it at all.
Is the 2nd one that game that had Obama and Palin as playable characters?

I miss Pandemic :smith:

Yes I remember that very well. Good times :unsmith:

I loved the second game, but they added cheats instead of fixing the bugs. Another problem was players could join with cheats activated and fuck your save up. I beat it before the cheats were added though, so I never suffered from most of that stuff.
This is better thread music:

Still got both games along with the manuals.
I played Merc 2, It was pretty fun up until a certain point.
The car driving was so terribly odd in the sequel. Especially bikes.
