Mercenaries 2 has Spawned the Greatest Commercial Ever.
DaedHead8 \| 11:49 AM on 08.30.2008	19 comments

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month or so, you will recognize the above video as the new Mercenaries 2 commercial. Not since the Gears of War commercials featuring Mad World have I been so moved by a commercial. I've been known to rewind my DVR just to watch this commercial again after it airs.

I loved the original Mercenaries but to be honest I wasn't even considering buying the sequel until I saw this commercial. Now it's definitely maybe.

Even if I don't buy the game, the commercial still makes me want to go play the original while listening to the song on repeat. Specifically the full version of the song, which contains approximately 4 times as much win as the commercial and can be viewed bellow.

So what say ye? Is anybody else as obsessed with this commercial as I am?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Mostly because Fallout 3 is coming and my brain really won't give a shit about anything else.

Oh, I didn't realize they had it over there. I used [url=http://file2hd.com/[/url] to get a shitty mp3 of the song. Thanks for the heads up!

Posted the commercial a few days ago but I've never heard the full version! It's great!

Just think, in 24 hours we'll all be playing this game...

As Reaprar said, you can find a nice high-quality copy of the song here:

That is the greatest video I have ever seen.

That game has moved from a rental to a buy!

about me
Whats up Destructoid? My name is Sean McLoughlin and I've been sent from the futurepast to march with my fellow robots to victory. For Niero! My favorite games can be numerous (as I'm sure is true of most here at Dtoid), but my all time favorites are Final Fantasy VI, Diablo II, Bioshock and Metal Gear Solid. I never rent games and I rarely trade in or sell the games I buy so I have a pretty massive game collection. For the sake of space I'll just list the consoles and portables that I own: NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, Playstation, N64, Playstation 2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Neo Geo Pocket, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, PSP 2000, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and a Playstation 3. When I'm not in school or gaming you can probably find me reading a science fiction/fantasy novel or an issue of Wired or some such. My favorite authors are George RR Martin, Terry Brooks, Garth Nix and Terry Goodkind. I'm also a big fan of movies, my favorites right now are The Departed, Smoking Aces and Crank, although my all time favorite movie/director is Reservoir Dogs/Tarantino. I don't watch much TV and if I do its usually Discovery channel or Science Channel. My favorite band is obviously The Grateful Dead although my musical tastes are quite varied. I listen to everything from T.I. to Metallica to Toby Keith. Also, MC Chris FTMFW! Bored? Try my game out and tell me what you think.
