So is sunday the in store date, or the shipping date?
I believe it's the street date. From what I'm reading on the official forums, and who knows if it's true, stores should already have received their shipment of copies. It would be nice if we got a disgruntled Gamestop employee in here to give us the shindig.

Looking for a DX:HR OnLive code for my kid brother.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
I've been kinda following this game for what seems like a couple years, From announcement, through PS3 exclusivity, watched all the Video Blogs on Pandemics web site. I remember early on, the game was touted as a fire simulator, and you'd be able to leave a trail of fuel and ignite it. I hope that it hasn't been discarded completely. I had visions of Die Hard 2.
Hopefully they'll make the piracy and resale of captured equipment a bit more profitable in this game than last. What was it, like 50 grand for a good-condition heavy tank in Mercs 1? C'mon
I never finished the first game entirely, but I don't remember being able to resell captured equipment. Or were these the missions you'd recieve from the Russian Mafia?
Sounds like its time to revisit Mercs 1, good thing my OxBox still runs, and has a half completed save.
You used to be able to take stuff you hijacked to the russians and they'd give you a cut depending on the item and its quality. I don't remember having mush inclination to do it very often if at all, so I'm guessing the cut was very negligable versus the effort.
Hell yes. Though nuclear bunker buster isn't a bad alternative really...that thing might be a bit bulky.
And in one mafia mission you are asked to steal a NK troop truck and bring it back to the mafia hq. After that you can drive anything up to that same garage (or the one in the other provice) and get paid. Not alot, but some. I think you can also sell them stolen helos, but i forget.
I broke down and watched a leak of the opening bits, and I gotta say, it makes me wanna play Chris a little more than Mattias.
Arghlebargle! The one time I'm sure about a character choice in a game!
I just watched it, and Stormare did kind of sound like he was just phoning his performance in. I might go with Mui for Jennifer Hale's always excellent performance. It's just Matthias seems like the perfect character for these games. Barglearghle!

Buddy, the only things Stormare phones in are tactical nuclear strikes.
I hear if you don't pick him he'll come to your house and punch you in an organ you didn't even know you had. He has time for that, because when you are the King of Men you do not work on a rigid schedule.

That's one of the better posts I've read. You and I are kindred spirits when it comes to Peter Stormare.

That video on the last page? So much win. I'm glad the humor is here in full force.
Also, you know it's a Mercenaries game when I hear Fiona talking about 'giant monolith towering over the city' and the first thing I think is 'only until I get a Bunker Buster'.
And yes, it's Matthias all the way for me. Fuck yeah, Lamborghini with diamond-encrusted wheels.
I'll probably play as Matthias too just because I played as him in the first. I liked it in Mercs 1 when he says "I found a weapons cache." It sounds like he just gargled gravel for 10 minutes.
Ohhh shiney, its has an automatic route system like Saints Row did. I'm glad that everyone seems to want to play Matthias and/or Chris, more Mui for me in coop. ^_^ Also, anyone that has this - I hate you so much. I want this game before labor day dammit when I actually have time to play
Just watched the Devastator video above... that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a video game in awhile
Nuclear holocaust is an expression relating to the devastating power of nuclear weapons.
And yes, the MOAB is technically a fuel air bomb, though of much more immense size.
Fuel Air bombs are actually a whole class of weapon, the one featured in Mercs 2 is not a nuclear sized blast, but more of a bunker buster explosive to take out a lot of surface targets.
The MOAB bomb is in Mercs 2 aswell, and is up there with daisy cutters in terms of strength. Again, they all have specific uses. Fuel Air bombs will kill vehicles and shacks. MOABs will kill everything. For those times when you just have to fuck shit right up.

Which is basically every minute after you've attained the MOAB then.

I need to friend list you right now. I like the way you think
Seriously, if anyone wants to add me I have a new xbl gamertag DyingInReEntry, add me I'm cool. My PSN is the same though Ill be getting mercs for my 360)
Dammit. You're the only one who has 'gotten' Mercs 2 so far.
Once you unlock the most powerful bomb you spam it until the world burns and children cry out your name in anguish. Only once your dark deeds are done will you saunter from the smoldering carcass of this Earth, gun slung over your shoulder, cigar fully quipped.

I'm a bad Mercenaries player, then. My favorite moments were popping in, knocking the card out, hucking him in my car and then driving past a platoon of rocket soldiers and tanks without any of them being the wiser.
And then, after I send him on his merry way, I come back and blow all the cash I just made on an airstrike to kill the guys I slipped past. I figured that's what the card would've wanted, in the end: punishment for letting him be captured.
Also, lots of mountain-climbing and sniping/anti-tank rocketing.
I do hope that they give you 100 million cash after you finish the game like the first one.
And spend it all razing the whole of Venezuela into the ground.
I kinda hope money really becomes no object in this game really quickly. First becuase you've already won a big money payoff in Mercs 1, and second because shut up. I want to just be able to bomb the ever living fuck out of Venezuela, reintroducing it to the primordial goo stage.

Play Hitman: Blood Money.
In this game we nuke things.

Sounds like its time to revisit Mercs 1, good thing my OxBox still runs, and has a half completed save.
Do you just take it to the guards outside the HQ?
It just bugged me a lot that the shotgun in Mercanaries I didn't actually make any noise.
All the guns were pretty lame sounding honestly.
Hell yes. Though nuclear bunker buster isn't a bad alternative really...that thing might be a bit bulky.

That was a bug in the PS2 version, as in they forgot to put that sound file on the disc. It makes a sound on the Xbox version.

I already called Chris.
Really, fuck Mattias. Damn mohawk having white-boy.
But... but it's Peter Stormare. Peter Stormare.
Possibly the coolest Swede alive.
I just watched it, and Stormare did kind of sound like he was just phoning his performance in. I might go with Mui for Jennifer Hale's always excellent performance. It's just Matthias seems like the perfect character for these games. Barglearghle!
I suppose it's a long shot to have him sic a marmot on you.

Like I said earlier
Fuel Air Bomb > Nuke any day.
More satisfying to use, just as much collateral damage, none of the radiation and holocaust.

Thermobaric bombs are as dangerous as you can get.
This bomb is also in the game:

I am a freaking nerd.
Dude...
The holocaust and nukes are not related together. Unless you take the literal meaning.
And isn't the bomb in the 2nd video the fuel air bomb?
