Mercenaries 2 DLC Trailer, DLC Available Now

Mercenaries 2 DLC Trailer, DLC Available Now
Written Monday, December 15, 2008 by Dan Webb

Pandemic's latest downloadable content for Mercenaries 2, the "Blow It Up Again" content pack, is available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The clip, released today, boasts "new missions, more destruction and hidden candidates." What that entails according to Pandemic over on their forums is:

"The DLC pack comes with a collection of new game play modes including Urban Rampage, Death Race, Arms Race and Mercs Blitz, as well as some patriotic characters to choose from. Best of all, the DLC is free throughout the rest of the year! Download it today!"

Free DLC? Can't complain. Oh and that car stunt at the end of the clip ... Wow. That's all that needs to be said.

"as well as some patriotic characters to choose from" I am assuming the patriotic characters are Obama and Palin. Saw the gameplay video of the two characters, almost makes me wanna buy this game.

Meh wonder if it will be any good. Its free so I guess I'll d/l it and see, I was kinda disappointed with the game tho. And buffy achievements suck. I got 800 pts in 1 playthrough, only got 500 legit, 300 given to me when I signed in one day. Bah. Curious who the extra charactwrs are though

meh again traded this game ages ago after the shitty online (typical EA just pay to use MS servers like every1 else for fucks sake) servers completly ruined this game and the bugs stopped me getting the full 1k so aint even gonna attempt this again!! shoulda fixed the game rather than make new broken content!!

I want to get this game, and I have played it before. Do you think I should buy this game after Christmas?

Getting this for christmas (my grandma told me she got this & L4D for me, PLUS what my parents get me). Can't wait. The demo was amazing.

I'll download it now but wait till I'm all done with the fall games first. Besides I'm pretty sure they will have bigger dlc with acheivements later.

Also, at #3, nice job.

It still wont fix all the crappy bugs in the game though, like randomly been able to walk through walls, like i experienced!

Nice, but no achievements? :@

Comment #29 by xgonscm2
Tuesday, December 16, 2008 @ 08:32:15 AM

@4, its probably locked for you cause you got all of the L4D achievements on 12/4/08, and some other "harder"achievements on the same day and 1k another game the next day, seems "fishy" to me...hmmmmm
ok back on topic, the game is terrible and ashamed that i had bought it.

They only make a dlc free when there are no achievements in it.
Mercenaries 2 is just a SCAM.

#4, it sounds like xgonscm2 is calling you out...

Comment #32 by tjhuss
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 @ 12:37:47 AM

I'll go with #29 on this one. There must or should be a special achievement for getting all 50 L4D ach on the same day.

if the dlc on mercs is free, it might be worth breaking it out again.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
