It’s not like Mercenaries 2 wasn’t looking good enough on its own. But hey, co-op never hurts, it only helps, especially when it’s instituted in the way Pandemic have it running for Mercenaries 2. After you start, there’s no game-interrupting menu screens, no lobbies, nothing. It’s drop-in, drop-out combat, and while the guest’s progress through the campaign won’t be saved when they quit, they will get to keep any cash and weapons they pick up. As for the host, there’s no adjustments made to the game when playing co-op, which means no extra enemies. So if you’re stuck on a spot, no problems, just get a friend playing and you can hide your singleplayer shame amidst the high-fives and hollering.
Popped into my local comic store over the weekend, bought some stuff. Stuffed in my bag, as always, was the latest Comic Store News. Normally I don’t pay it much heed, but this time? Paid it a little! Mainly because the Mercenaries comic was on the front cover, which was news to me. Seems Diamond Entertainment have picked up the rights from Pandemic and are squeezing a storyline out of all the guns and explosions and exploding guns you expect from the game. Art looks OK, but I’m a little sceptical on how well star Mattias will come across without Peter Stormare’s help. Issue #1 should be on shelves in October.
