Man, I'm glad I got this from Gamefly. I've had it for 4 hours and I am dropping it in the mailbox tomorrow. This game is pure shit. He didn't even mention the driving part. Honestly, I think that's the worst part of the game.

I personally really liked Medal of Honor airborne.

You are wrong. Mercenaries 2 is a fun game. There is a ton of fun to be had with all the different weapons. I don't understand how you could die so often because I am able to stand in the middle of a firefight and not be harmed at all.

I love the vehicles and the ways in which you can use them to blow shit up. I played both the PC and 360 version and I did not like the PC version myself. The 360 version however which I am currently playing is waaaay better in terms of playability and it looks better even though I have a pretty tight rig.

If you like shooters, blowing stuff up and messing around with enemies and weapons this is definitely a game for you. The open ended gameplay makes it a really fun experience and coop is just icing on the cake for me. The game has already been patched, looks great and the little amount of bugs in there are not going to be apparent unless you specifically go looking for them.

I played this demo for like 10 minutes and had to quit out. It was so annoying.

Glad to see that my initial instincts weren't failing me while reading your post, but sad that a game could be so bad.

This sucks. Oh, well. CoD:WaW!

It's a real shame to hear such negative things about Mercs 2. I hope that Just Cause 2 doesn't follow the same route. It's a similar style of game and is making use ot eh new Avalanche 2.0 engine also.

We'll see.

The Eva mechanic mission seems to be the showstopper for me.

You're supposed to drive a supped up monster truck that can jump over large boulders.

The course takes forever and there's a faction dotted along the road that fires machine guns and rpg's. Nothing like a driving mission that isn't fun, taking forever to complete while randomly dying from rpg's. About 10 tries in, have to quit before the controller takes a beating.

Also, anyone notice the rpg guys sticking out of the windows of the little houses in the take-over areas. Kill one and another re-appears cod style to blow you away.

The 2% health bug was an annoying problem for me as well. This game would be much better had it been tested for another month.

Inconstantly buggy is my problem with it. Everytime I turn it on, it buggy severely in one way that it was working fine with before. At one point i was not able to die, my health getting to 2% and able to run around and get shot still. It would stay like that for 5-10 minutes of constant enemy fire. Then the red effects when you were hit, they would never go away, even if i was at full health. Then my helicopter pilot… for periods of hours, he would be unavailable, sometime stuck in the scenerary or right above my last pickup. Then they get you start a mission, recommend what you need, but force you to the location before you could travel to get supplies. No testing, no logical flow, nada. I really wanted to love this game, and it had sooo much potential.

In regards to the airstrikes and other things that require laser targeting, you need to hold the laser on the target. If you do, it will be a direct hit exactly where you want it to be, every time.
