Here were some of the job requirements that sound RPGish with the exception of vehicles:
* Oversee the institution of cooperative multiplayer for Legends.
* Create and balance weapons and gear for Legends.
* Work with design to create vehicles for Legends.
* Working very closely with Art & Engineering depts. in the development of tools & pipelines.
* Test, debug, refine, and polish multiplayer and gear.
* Implement loot tables for gear drops.
* Implement the trade economy with Vendors and Money.
* Create the trade and barter system between players.
This is NOT Mercenaries 2, it's interesting to note the cooperative multiplayer and trade/barter system which leads me to believe there is some sort of world hub or meeting area players can interact in.
