Pandemic Itchin' To Start On Mercs 3

Pandemic are putting their shoulder to the wheel for Mercenaries 2. Don't doubt that for a minute. But at the same time, they're probably sick to death of all the palm trees and blue skies and threats from the Venezuelan government that have marked the game's development. So it's understandable they they just want to get it done and move onto the next Mercenaries, right?:

While we don't want to delay the game, and we certainly don't want to disappoint anyone—and we're keen to ship the game and move on to Mercs 3—it was the right call for us was to make sure that co-op [in Mercs 2] was going to be properly integrated into the experience and to make sure that all that key destruction was really going to be what it needed to be.

Maybe next time they can shake things up a little. People are always blowing up Korea and South America, but what about New Zealand, Andorra and Belgium? When's it their turn?

I want to take on the modern US army for once but for some reason I think they'd call it a terrorist simulator :/

Oh i would LOVE to blow up belgium! Damn belgians can't even decide what language they want to speak. And they don't even get their dutch right!

Although that would mean that there would be an end to that delicious beer.

Mercs Wii is definitely a game that begs for Mii support. I would love to see my Mii engaging in large scale demolitions ;)

How about Switzerland? They have been neutral for too long. I think they are plotting something.

Ten bucks says the guy who wrote the article learned about the existence of Belgium from a Yahtzee review :-)

@Cchrist: Let me guess... You're from Holland? =) I believe I speak for everyone in Belgium when I say: Our country's way too small to go through the trouble of blowing it up. One nice advantage about being Belgian: I'm trilingual, so I don't have to f***ing choose :-)

I agree. They're always waffling.

I personally haven't forgiven the Faroe Islands for a few dodgy football results over the years. Your card is marked, Faroese!

@Cchrist: Too bad they are rather well armed with those beautiful FN firearms they manufacture over there. ;D

Oh come now, we all got our fill of blowing up Belgium back in 1914 - 1918. They need a time out!

@Sap_My_Sentry:

That's the problem with neutrals, you never know where you stand.

I vote for NZ as well... and Malta, they have thrown some dodgy football results as well... worse than the Faroe Islands.

I'd just love to work on the game itself, from Pandemic's offices in Australia. I think that would be sweet.

It's Estonia I worry about...What with their festivals of Baking, more commonly known as Bakefest. This year we've got the pop shenaninanigans of Rod Stewart to entertain us all. See you at Bakefest 2008 kids!
