Of all the people to put [sic] in somebody's quote but still contain a typo in their own article I never thought it would be you, Stephen. I AM DISAPPOINTED. =p
@Vecha: Mercs 1 was enjoyable, mercs 2 not so much. And no, Mercs 2 didn't sell well at all. I think they sold somewhere in the 200,000's and the break even number on that game was 700,000 copies from what I heard. #speakup
"We are very excited to announce a new instalment [sic] in the popular Mercenaries series because it demonstrates our continued commitment to Pandemic's rich catalogue of intellectual properties,"
just not to Pandemic the studio or the people who worked there.
@Phaper: I more see it as EA shutting them down, as they weren't happy with the quality of previous games, and developing the games (Which EA owns, I think) in house.
However, BF Heroes is relatively tame in its visual presentation. There are no huge explosions nor many (or any?) interactive environmental elements.
I think the pitch trailer for this game demonstrates a visual package that is possibly beyond what the average PC could handle in a multiplayer environment.
@NeVeRMoRe666: Probably just a typo. The very next paragraph says it's being developed by a core group of former Pandemic employees, who are now at EALA.
@Outkastprince: I thought that of the first one, but not of the second one. I tried so hard to like the second one but it just didn't do it for me unfortunately.
@ttocs: No? It's not easy to love the game, especially if mindless enemy skull cracking games aren't for you.
It doesn't hold your attention for long and the price tag doesn't help it's case. If they could lowered this new one to maybe $30 maybe 40 bucks, I'd considered it just cause I'm a fan.
Any higher in price and the majority of gamers won't choose this over the quality of video games out there.
@Yossarian: It's sort of a code you must input on your arm to unlock.
Skull Trick.
1. Find Street Fighter code on website.
2. Make sure your arm is tattoo free.
3. Search for a local illegal tattoo parlor.
4. Make sure you and the one giving you the tattoo are drunk.
5. Give him your arm and make sure he's so f**cked up the code ends up backwards.
6. Skullz Unlocked.
This looks like it could be some real fun as it seems Mercenaries is tailor made for multiplayer.
But at the same time I'm sort of scared to see how airstrikes could be abused.

Now they gut pandemic and decide to continue making there game.
At what point will people realize they should never ever partner with EA?

It will be a sad day in game history if anything like that happens to Bioware.

Sometimes you need to be high to see things the way they're suppose to be. That's why I have 5 ex-wives and a hallucinating gerbil.
