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.

Why choose? They're both great!

OMG the heli picked up the tank. Definitely want this :)

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?

Seeing the water at the end ruined it for me.
Obie @ Aug 21st 2008 8:42PM
So great exciting co-op gameplay gets thwarted by water rendering?
Sorry dude, but what the hell is wrong with you?

Anyone have the feeling like they first developed this for the PS2 and just prettied it up for the 360 and PS3?
Some of those textures look bad.
spiderfish @ Aug 21st 2008 8:38PM
Who cares.
This is the perfect example of gameplay > graphics.
Obie @ Aug 21st 2008 8:49PM
Agreed, who the hell cares as long as it is fun.
The framerate looked smooth, the draw distance was huge and the explosions and fire fx look nifty!
giantenemycrab @ Aug 21st 2008 11:00PM
I prefer it have a steady framerate compared to jaw dropping graphics.

Better have splitscreen, if it does, I'm getting it!
Chase @ Aug 21st 2008 8:23PM
No split-screen co-op, which sucks. :'[
ronald.raygun @ Aug 21st 2008 10:31PM
no splitscreen? are you 100% it'll be so disappointing if it doesn't have it.
Tiptup300 @ Aug 22nd 2008 12:59AM
They said the words "splitscreen" in the video, if it's not in the game, the developers can't play the ignorance card now.
Captain Blaggers @ Aug 22nd 2008 10:53AM
Too bas the word 'splitscreen' was preceded by the words 'What you're looking at is not actually'.
Captain Blaggers @ Aug 22nd 2008 10:57AM
*bad. Goddamnit.
Alcevious @ Aug 22nd 2008 3:37PM
Did you ignore the words they said before "splitscreen"?
Obie @ Aug 21st 2008 8:43PM
Sold! I fracking love co-op games and this one looks like a winner!
Iain @ Aug 21st 2008 9:13PM
Look fun, but the people talking kind of ruined the experience. Why do they acted surprised when things happen? They're the developers, they know it's going to happen.
giantenemycrab @ Aug 21st 2008 11:01PM
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.
