Well if it's absolutely NOT like the second one, I'm down with it.

a)Bullets go faster than 10km/h.
b)Enemies do move when you shoot them.
c)People can say more than five things.
d)100+ft. falls SHOULD kill me, 5 ft. ones SHOULDN'T.

The cover above is probably an indicator of the actual sequel differenciation

I'm just saying, your own sister site posted this three days ago. I merely find it weird how little it seems that Joystiq talks to its sister sites, considering the constant discrepancy in when each site posts the same story.

Be careful, Thatoneguy64...


While I agree that there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, I wouldn't do that though....

THE JOYSTIQ FORCE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!!

Make sure to lock your doors and windows, Joystiq sends Ludwig to deal with complainers, he'll sneak into your house and hit you with a poison dart

John, there's a difference between "later than another website" and "later than a sister site"

A big difference. And sometimes Joystiq can be a week or two late posting a story one of their sister sites already did. One would think Joystiq and all its sister sites would get and post the news at or near the same time.

should they just make up countries so you can get new factions?

Good. I loved the first one. Liked the second one. Not perfect, but has its place.

You're absolutely right. EA is a pack of greedy fucks for wanting to make a sequel in a franchise that makes money. Who do they think they are, a business?

I lol at JOYSTIQ putting these insurrection type games in as bait to elicit some type of [oh, not too offensive now!] velvetclaw response, then promptly rejecting [read: not printing] probably 1/2 the posts as being too politically incorrect or some other lame-ass chicken shit reason. lol

Sigh. When are they going to value quality over quantity. I'd rather have one good Mercenaries than ten crappy ones. They're already 1/5 of the way there.

I preordered Mercs 2 because the first one was so fun. (Well, except the unbalanced final mission.)

For Mercs 3 I will be waiting for reviews.

Unbalanced final mission?

You mean because you thought it was too easy? Because it certainly wasn't hard.

glad to hear it, the first Mercenaries was one of my favorite games of all time, and the second one was pretty sweet too, but obviously could have benefited from some polishing. Hopefully with a third they'll fix the problems the second had and bring back some of the good stuff they took out from the first and hopefully more improvements as well.

If I recall, mercs 1 was created by lucasarts, pandemic jacked up 2. I couldn't play 2 for more than 15 minutes.
