We'll be honest: most of the staff at Joystiq has a serious medical condition that makes us physically unable to resist good co-op gameplay. We can't do it. It's a serious condition. There's only two known treatments: 1) massive amounts of mind-altering pharmaceuticals or 2) co-op video games. Sometimes, we're forced to seek out the former when there aren't any co-op games on the ol' release calendar while other times there are games like Mercenaries 2: World in Flames that would appear to provide enough co-op gameplay to keep us drug-free for a long time.
Above you've got another Mercenaries 2 developer walkthrough, this time sharing the wonders of the game's co-op functionality. Don't mean to brag, but we've already played it. That means you'll want to pay attention, lest you miss things like "drop-in," "drop-out," "campaign," and "explosion." Say, does anyone have an early copy of Castle Crashers, we're really hurting over here ...

Multiplayer pretty much solidified my decision between this, and force unleashed.

This game looks like frantic, loud, shameless fun.
Digging the co-op and all...
...But seriously, how many times was it necessary to hear Cameron utter the phrases "Drop-in, drop-out" and "Seameless"? We get it, dude!
Other than that, do want.

I agree. I thought the developers were on a loop

Although it was probably being used in a different context, I thought the video was pretty choppy. Did anyone actually see the second player pop out of the car as they were flying through the air?

Who cares.
This is the perfect example of gameplay > graphics.

I prefer it have a steady framerate compared to jaw dropping graphics.

Did you ignore the words they said before "splitscreen"?

Holy crap, when he picked up that tank with the heli is when I decided to buy this game. It looks like one of those "it's 4AM already?" games.
