"Mercenaries"

Anybody getting it?
Anybody played the demo?
Gets excellent reviews across the board but I haven't seen that much blurb about it or hype.

I've captured all of the Clubs, except one who accidently got blown up by a helicopter that was trying to help him. And I'm doing well on the Diamonds now. SK don't like me too much though: I keep stealing their helicopters. ;)

It's certainly an amazing game, and I've not even begun to capture any of the suits yet.

Well I'm playing through it for my third time now, still not bored.

I just unlocked a great cheat code. I can now get the 'cheat' weapon drop, which is basically stupidly powerfull weapons.

I have a portable air-strike. It fireS like the grenade launcher, but it has the power of a Cruise Missile, you can flatten entire bases in under a minute. And I have a SMG with the power of a GAT gun. This game just get's better by the minute.

it's the only game to grab me again since half life 2. before then it was goldeneye.
It takes alot to get me interested.

Just got onto the second map and stole and Apache. Great fun picking up APVs and dipping them in the water to kill the occupants then throwing them a few hundred meters into the mountain

You guys have got me wondering on if I should look into this. Sounds an excellent game despite it not having Live play and stuff. If only it had online co-op. ;-)

I think my cousin played the demo of it and wasn't too impressed, but some of the stuff I'm reading on here makes it sound bloody good. Has it go a lot of replay value, or is it the type of game you'd probably beat once and not really go back to ?

Maybe I should try for GAD again and see if I can win it. ;-))

block the bridge as mentioned, get a few cars and trucks in the way.
Find a chinese fuel truck and slap on a few C4's and drive as fast as you can towards the cars and jump out at a safe distance.

Then watch the hilarity as you pull the trigger as the truck careers into the others and the bridge comes falling down.


pure brilliance

Heh. Setup a road block on a bridge, angered some locals and got them to get all tangled up in my car/lorry arrangement. Shot at some passing helicopters, eventually getting them to hover over my car/lorry/enemy mess. Call an airstrike on the whole lot, sent cars and bodies flying UP into the helicopters. Lovey.

Bought this the other day, lots of fun.

Love putting C4 under something and blowing the hell outta it lol..
