There was no way I was going to get it on release any time before the end of the year, but next year, if I'm done with Mass Effect, Halo, etc., I'd pick it up.
EA announced today that their upcoming Mercenaries 2, currently in development for Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PC, and Xbox 360, has been pushed back to an early 2008 release. They have not disclosed any specific reason for the delay, but after numerous negative impressions at recent trade shows, and this holiday season already being full of big releases, maybe it’s for the best.

Shame there is no Wii version really, I played the first one on Xbox, and I don't think I could handle buying it's sequel now on PS2.
I have heard mention of you playing as Mattias who gets to run his own organisation of mercenaries. So if we're talking Freedom Fighters lairs, rpg style customisation, Portable Ops recruitment and mercenaries stuff with better combat and more ways to tackle stuff + more interesting and varied missions, we could have a winner on our hands.
Though still probably not at full price.
However, Stranglehold just came out and has amazing destruction physics, so my thirst for destroying buildings piece by piece has been sated.

Oh yeah, its Peter Stormare. Damn you prison break for killing him off! DAMN YOU!
Peter Stormare is the man :^:
I never played as the other characters in the first Mercenaries.

There were other characters in Mercenaries? You lie!
I've heard rumors this is true.

What I've seen in previews of the sequel isn't inspiring confidence. South America just seems 'meh' as a setting after tearing up the DMZ. Maybe it's because the Central/South American jungle setting has been milked dry by the Tom Clancy franchises. Or maybe I just feel like I've done my part for libertad by overthrowing Mendoza's regime in Just Cause.
I'd prefer an East African setting, personally. Maybe draw inspiration from the events of the Islamic courts' ouster from Somalia by Ethiopian forces. Might be a little provocative, but what, Venezuela isn't?
You might want to check out Far Cry 2, after watching the demo they did at PAX, it looks much more awesome than I expected. 50km by 50km open map of African safari to go around taking missions on from different factions and such. And no god damned mutants that ruined Far Cry 1.
As for Mercenaries 2, everything Ive seen of it looks fine to me, Ive got no problem with Venezuela, and most importantly, Its got co-op now.
A delay will be nice.

Except a Wii version would likely be the PS2 version with tacked on waggle.
But it might have a stable framerate, unlike the PS2 version of Mercenaries 1, I don't know how they plan to make Mercenaries 2 run at all on the PS2 when they could barely get the first one running on it.
age of conan got a huge delay, duder.
also all that interests me in the near future is CoD4. though I wish I could say AC6
And you still forgot Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, Galactic Civilizations 2: Twilight of the Arnor, and Geometry Wars: Galaxies...
I mean, she kind of did in the first game, but it was acceptable. Now she just looks weird.
I was under the impression that what we've seen so far is nowhere near a finished build.
Some of the explosions in the gameplay vids looked pretty lame to me, like the guard tower blown up with the rocket launcher, but I put that down to the game being incomplete.
I've noticed that in most Xbox 360 / Playstation 3 games, to varying extents.
Bizarre. And kind of annoying.
Fuck.
Man, FUCK Mercenaries 2.
And I just don't think things would work out well if they attempted this game on Wii.
Send a pm my way if you're interested.
I never used those because they were badly done, they didn't even get someone to pretend to be Harrison Ford, so I was going around as Han Solo, and still sounding like a chick. What a waste.
The right way is to crank the John Williams score, mute your TV, and watch Indy fucking subdue warlords.

Sounds good.
I mean, I loved Mercs 1 but even then it was a little lacking in the 'feel' department.
I did love capturing people though.
