Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I saw the preview of that, if it is the one where it says "Blow the living crap out of it. Blow the living crap out of it some more." It looked.................meh.

It seemed great until the advert said
"blow stuff up"
"blow it up again"
"blow the living crap out of it"
"blow the living crap out of it again"

Merc's is honestly the best freeroaming game ive ever played, because it allows you to attack anyone.


once, i stole a civilian car, planted C4 on its hood, and drove to the russian mafia HQ. i was disquised as a civilian, so they didnt know i was there. i parked the car, snuck into the bushes far away, and detonated the C4. After the awesom explosion and sweet building destruction, the (surviving) russian mafia members started running around trying to fidn the culprait. i picked them all off with my covert sniper rifle.

Over at the Mafia warehouse, the general was standing watch with at least 10 guards defending him. i waited until the right moment to attack. A car crashed into a telephone pole, and right as the car went "BANG!", i fired, killing the general. i took the others out with my silenced SMG.

THEN, I went to the mafia restricted area, where they kept thier "secret supplies." I went to one of the entrances being guarded by a full jeep of mafia members. I took out my SMG, and with 2 three round bursts, took out the members. I bought an artillary strike beacon, and bolted into the restriced area. The guards where blindly fireing, trying to hold me off, but i ran right into the middle of the garage, and through the beacon. After i ran out, the artillary strike came raining down on the place. The destruction was sooooo amazing. The watch tower fell on the fence, knocking it over onto a civilian, the warehous crumbles, and the guards where destroyed. it was amazing.


anywho, ive blabbed on enough. goodnight!

my friend was shooting pilots in copters (trying to get one to drive) and he got swarmed by over 15 copters at once. they where so crowded, they started hitting each other. they cut eachother down, and they all crashed into the water.

Could this game mark the return of the good homebrewed (not developed by outsider) Original Lucasarts franchise?

Make sure its not the game shotgun because then you might be point blank and not hit anything

Sounds pretty cool...I'm not sure if I should buy it or rent. Multiplayer is usually a MUST for me in games if I'm going to buy them.

Its out for XBOX and PS2. And while the lack of multiplayer and co-op play is disappointing, it more than makes up for it. I'm usually not a fan of free-roaming type games, hated the GTA series, but this game is a lot of fun.

I love being able to call for a supply drop in the middle of a fight so I can get health, ammo and finish blow the living crap out of everything. Also no one mentioned the various factions you have to keep happy if you want them to give you contracts. So its not all just run around and shoot there is some playing factions against each other involved.
