We already knew that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames was headed for a delay, but now we know exactly how long we're going to have to wait. IGN is reporting today that the new date is August 31. We know! That seems like forever! They might as well make the date Nevervember the 37th.

The waiting isn't made any easier by this new trailer, which caters to that facet of our personalties games so often ignore: The part of us that likes to blow stuff up. ... Listen, we're sorry we got so upset earlier, we don't know what came over us. Just, please, for our sake, no more delays, OK? Please?

[Thanks, Jonah]

well damn, now WTF am I supposed to play in summer? This game was supposed to be out two months ago. At least it's not going into 2009 but this still sucks

A: Apr 3rd 2008; 4:35PM

I don't think I'll ever play another WW2 game again thanks to what Hour of Victory did to me

hahaha- fair enough. scarred for life i suppose. but still, consider bia's pedigree! the first two were great stuff. and even though they did the whole 'wait until you heal' bs with this one, i'm still excited.

Hah.. two months ago? It was originally slated for release before last Christmas. I've been waiting for the game for a long time now.

Mercenaries 2: World in Delays

I would rather them wait and fine tune whatever still needs to be done, then put out a half-assed game.

This is a must buy, first Merc was pretty freakin good

Mr.ESC: Apr 3rd 2008; 5:13PM

Amen PojoMofo

Power to the nutjobs!

(FYI it is my Birthday :D )

Mr.ESC: Apr 3rd 2008; 5:14PM

Damn it I meant aphoushole.

I guess I should pay more attention to who or what I'm replying.

PojoMofo: Apr 3rd 2008; 6:26PM

I worried, your starting to show signs of autism...

Mr.ESC: Apr 4th 2008; 4:24PM

No U

aphoushole: Apr 3rd 2008; 4:52PM

Hey it's my birthday!

aphoushole: Apr 3rd 2008; 4:53PM

No it's not, so STFU.

Mr.ESC: Apr 3rd 2008; 4:58PM

You got to love people with multiple personality disorder.

PojoMofo: Apr 3rd 2008; 4:59PM

you HAVE too??? Where is that written?

aphoushole: Apr 3rd 2008; 5:09PM

You have to, because in all probability, we will kill you. So being nice to us will just prolong the inevitable.

Mr.ESC: Apr 3rd 2008; 5:10PM

Is Got or Have?

Sorry an enemy warlock just used carpal tunnel on me and it was super effective.

giantenemycrab: Apr 3rd 2008; 6:03PM

I'm still very excited for this game, delays and all. In fact, the delays make me sure that it'll be something special. Now, I wait.

Carl Abrams: Apr 3rd 2008; 6:18PM

As the man said - I think I'd be ticked off if someone shot me in the ass, too!

Now get this game out - I want to blow up Venezuela like I did North Korea!

Vaitork: Apr 3rd 2008; 7:24PM

I share the feeling. Blowing my own country up should be interesting.

RobLink (McElroy Defence Force): Apr 3rd 2008; 6:23PM

Hmm, the lip-synching in that looked like trash. The blowing up looks like fun though. I never played the original, so I don't know it'll be like, but it looks fun.

darkandlong: Apr 3rd 2008; 7:31PM

So,

A Pandemic game with massive explosions, perky boobies, and protagonist voiced by Peter Stormare who is pissed he get shot in the ass? Plus, I don't have to wait for 2009?

Sign me up.
