"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.

No idea. I just read the information and did the challenge. I guess you just translate what she's saying.

I thought I'd seen it all and then I blew up that gigantic bridge that leads up to the Chinese base in the northern sector.

Also managed to steal one of those Allied gunships which are even better than the NK Gunships. Infact I'd have to say they're the best vehicle in the game...well for now, until I find something better if it exists.

Oh and I just unlocked fuel air bombs which are damn amazing.

You don't get to fly planes do you? In fact the planes are probably one of the worst features of the game. Many a time have I called an airstrike only for the plane to appear from within a mountain. They vanish far too quickly too.

Might be just me, but I think its a bit lame that not only can these "hard as nails" mercenaries not swim, but worse still, one of them was supposed to have been in the navy ! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Anyway, on the diamond cards at the moment. Got the jack and the ace to go.

That'll be the evil NK piranhas then. ;)

I'm on that one now, I'll go back to it in a minute, looks like a great mission that'll allow you to level the whole city without having to pay reparations or anything like that. :)

My plan was craptacular. I bought the Maffia's helicopter, blew up the NK Gunship, shot the surrounding people around the seven of hearts then landed, without blowing up the bunker. Then I punched down the seven and called in the extration. He was picked up and I got the reward for the capture, but suddenly a couple of NK troops appeared with anit-air rocket launchers and opened fire at the AN helicopter as it was flying away. It was soon brought down and the seven of hearts with it too and he laid crushed beneath the wreckage. But even though I had to pay for the loss of the helicopter I still got a reward for a successful capture of the seven of hearts.

I don't know whether I made a profit or not. :D

I just got those unlocked, tested them on NK Gate in the south area, brilliant.

forget about putting 2 C4's under a parked car, put six and stand well back!


watch the flaming wreakage shoot straight up and out of sight!


whos completed it and got playground of destruction? I have, but found no differences in gameplay, you just start off as normal??!

I can now play as that guy out of star wars...

Anyway apart from that guff I've almost done all the statues and have half the treasures.

Just mopping up the leftovers of the hearts as I can now go for the ace.
