@OddOne: Honestly, if the mini-nuke causes my 360 to ring out, I would simply have to accept its death due to high rockitude levels.

BlackdogGT

Awesome! One airstrike and... BOOM!!! RROD!

OddOne

Weird I was playing this peice to my daughter earlier and talking about Tchaikovski to her.Not as weird as me doing the dying swan bit from swan lake to make her giggle but I'm not sure that it would fit quite so well in a mercenaries game.

Weirdwolf

Airstrikes are definitely kickass, but can you actually pilot the planes? that would be like 12 different kinds of awesome.

pisseddog

right after PAX ends on sunday im heading to gamestop to pick up my copy.

solosith

Alot of people also dont know how long it takes to unlock the biggest and most badass airstrike in the game. haha. well thats how it was in the first one...the fuel air bomb.

Hopefully this one is just as long, keeps me coming back for more.

BigSt3ph3n

God i cant wait for this! I loved the first, and some people havent even played that one. :(

Very cool video.

BigSt3ph3n

I can't wait. I don't get to play a lot of games these days but I can always take some time out of my schedule to blow shit up.

@Thassodar: Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture*

Thassodar

Tchaikovsky's 1812 is used in waaaaay too many explosion montages. I hope "boom" isn't all this game delivers.

Thassodar

@DukeOfPwn: Still has an air of "epic" to it, though. Only problem is, they seem to switch between the same five songs over and over again.

What's really overdone is atrocities set to "What A Wonderful World". Or anything and everything set to Linkin Park.

ShaggE

It's Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. Not Beethoven related at all. But great trailer nonetheless.

TheCleaningGuy

@legoninja: I was thinking it I just didn't know how to spell it.

dobilay

Cool video, but explosions set to classical music are so overdone these days.

DukeOfPwn

Do i get to be the first person to say Tchaikovsky? Wow... I've never corrected anyone on the internet before! That was neat!

Also, this game will be good.

legoninja

Awesome stuff. Got mine preordered!

JoRo1986

That, sir, was a thing of beauty.

Salen

Lol, lookit them soaking up all that gamma radiation.

Bondage_Zombie

Things go boom...
Would be nice if you also had a napalm strike... ooh

@MechaTama31:

and the 4th, and the 5th, and the 6th....

ninjadude14

Every video posted makes me want Mercs 2 even more.

Thanks, Tchaikovsky.

Thankovsky.

Mentuss

It brings a tear to my eye, it really does. I know what I'll be doing on the 31st. And the 1st. And the 2nd. And the 3rd. And...

MechaTama31

Good. Lord.

fatheadwilson

Looks hot. Will most likely buy, Tchaikovski cheesiness aside.

DaPress

Honestly, I see this game being ignored just like the first game.

RaptureScientist

That was bad ass.

That is all.

Oh..and boom =]

@DaPress:

HA they should have used the dambusters march of course!

+ Watch video

Weirdwolf

They sure know what buttons to press to make a game look cool.

PuppyGuarder

That guy with the mohawk looks like the Techno Viking

Orionsaint

Holy crap. And it's coming out for the PC too. :)

@ninjadude14: ...the seventh..and the...eighth....Hey now you got me doing it! @ninjadude14:

TheTimeisback

Boom, boom and boom!

But the game comes out on Sunday??

chip5541

I will get this or Saints Row 2. I am leaning SR2 at the moment.

Muisee

Michael Bay??!!,

Great trailer nevertheless, I am totally sold on the Co-op.

PsycheE

I think Strauss's Violin Concerto 4 (used in There Will Be Blood during the credits) would work well. Others would work also, but that was the second one to come to mind. First was Ode to Joy. I figure they just used the 1812 Overture because it is well known.

hammerhand

@chip5541: Ey....God Dammit Thats my birthday(19). Gee pal thanks a lot, your really helping us Virgo's here....:\

TheTimeisback

I can't get enough of these videos. Man, I am gonna LOVE this game. I hope we get a review out of you guys too.

PapaBear434

man i was watching monday night football, and the commercials annoyed the piss out of me.

otis123

@otis123:

OH NO YOU DIDINT!

I am definitely picking this up. Been waiting for this for a while now.

jello44

Now that was an excellent way to end the day.

Consider me a happy man.

Witzbold

That was grin-inducing.

The 1812 Overture is just 'THE' piece explosion music.

Disgrunted Aussie Gamer

How can't anyone NOT be excited over Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. That was short and sweet and Pandemic has an sick intro themselves with all the grenades and all.

NYKnicker

@pisseddog: The planes doing the airstrikes? Probably not... they're just support options. But you can pilot helicopters. Maybe if we're lucky the choppers will gain some interesting munitions.

@RaptureScientist: I certainly don't expect it to compete with the much hyped triple-A titles for the coming season, but I would hope it could outperform titles like Turning Point, Turok, and such.

It at least seems to be getting more publicity from Pandemic's partnership with EA than the first one got from LucasArts.

Still... the first one did achieve "Greatest Hits" status on PS2, which I think required at least 400k in sales. It was definitely more of a "slow burn" title back then.

dv8godd

everything looks awesome in this game except for the water. it's the same pattern every 10 square ft.

dh4645

wow - daisy cutter airstrikes?! Count me in.

avconsumer2

That made me giggle with insane glee.

435

I still want to be Indiana Jones...

Parapraxis

If i can play as Han Solo like I did in the first one then i will pick a copy. Just kidding I loved the first one I just hope this new one lives up to it's counterpart.

MURDERFACE

Whoever hates this game is either liar or a Communist. Nobody can hate that explosive video, timed to the loudest parts of the music...thing of beauty.

michaelleung

Just a question, was that an actual nuke at the end? So this will have Nukes?? Good lord.

JAGJEET

its by Tchaikovsky, not Beethoven

trapsoldier102

1812 overture is by Tchaikovsky, not Beethoven

trapsoldier102

1812 Overture is by Tchaikovsky, not Beethoven. Regardless, good video.

trapsoldier102

@JAGJEET: I think Pandemic wanted to make up for the original Merc's which didn't have any.

That being said, I think the nuke is going to cost A LOT to use, but so friggin' worth it.

FoxyGaz

the original 1812 overture actually had cannon fire written into the music to punctuate the hard accents of the music....i find this rather fitting.
