Some of you may recall a video for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames that I posted last month. I said "if this video doesn't sell you on the game, nothing will."

Well, now we've got an even better video that will surely impress those of you who are looking forward to picking up Mercs 2 later this month. It's a demonstration of the game's drop-in/drop-out online co-op with plenty of "wow, that's awesome" moments.

Whatever you do, make sure you watch the section where the narrator goes Voltron on everybody's asses by using his helicopter's winch to pick up his friend's tank. Why this mechanic hasn't been done in a videogame before, I'm not sure.

All I know is that I want to wake up tomorrow and have it be August 31st.

That is the least realistic thing I've ever seen in a shooter, but that is amaaaaaaazing.

I dont feel excited about the game, the co-op is allways nice and I like all the work they have given the game... BUT is doesnt look very pollished. I mean, is just a impressions, a bunch of explosions, maybe the quality of the video...

Yeah this game looks retarded actually. But in a fun way. Not sold on it yet myself.

This game was sold before it was even announced...the first Mercenaries was that damned good. However, my need to have this game ASAP just shot through the roof after that video.

I cannot wait for this fucking game!

Oh shit! This game is so getting in my 360. Fucking awesome and I'm glad I waited for this sequel. Looks like those delays were really worth it too.

See you bitches online, to mash up small tropical military nations.

Should be good fun, need to see what happens when you drop a monster truck from as high up as a helicopter can fly though.
