Mercenaries 2 Demo Coming, Arrives Today for 360

Alright - this news items needs an update. the mercs 2 demo is not on Live.

Uhm no demo for PC?

Ugh - thanks Pandemic/EA!

Any word on whether this demo includes coop gameplay? (i'm thinking not)

friday is almost over for me and I still don't see it on the marketplace!

Do not buy the PC version right now if you have a 16:10 widescreen monitor. 4:3 and 16:9 are the only resolutions available in v1.0. Of course, if you don't mind gaming in letterbox, then by all means have at it. FSAA doesn't work either, the option is there, but it's currently non-functional.

i actually stopped playing until they release a patch. the fun is taken away by all of the bugs and that stupid bitch back at HQ won't shutup, not to mention that you can only say one-liners so many times.

fix the game first

they don't even have widescreen support...this is what I get on a 1680x1050 monitor:
4:3 - 1600X1200
16:10 - 1600X900

wtf?

I have enjoyed the game so far, but truly it is one of the most embarrassingly buggy titles that EA has shoved out the door in a while. It's really to bad they continue to be so short sighted in insisting the title be pushed out during the end of summer lull. The collision detection for weapons, especially the RL is just wicked bad, AI is quirky and not at all good at rooting you out or making you believe you are shooting anything but (sometimes) moving target dummies. As everyone agrees the constant comments from AI and your idiot receptionist back at base are enough to drive you crazy after playing long enough. They actually issued a patch right on the day it came out and I don't know what it fixed but FFS get the real patch out NOW!

Good things are the smooth graffix, the sound effects are passable, the vehicles especially large attack choppers are much fun and easy to control and the explosions are spectacular at times. Large area to explore too with many people to meet and kill.

My biggest gripe? I can't store vehicles at my huge base. Lots of place to store them and a nice helipad but you drive or fly into your base, go inside and when you get back out they have disappeared. Happens at other bases when you go inside and the attack chopper you just paid 250K for just up and disappears or is being flown off by one of the AI retards at the base. I wanna be the Jay Leno of the Military Hardware Collection scene. I can't even store one damn tank.

This needs a fucking patch, stat.

AI is borderline retarded, or borderline psychic. It has no happy medium.
Mouse aim is broken, woefully. Its as if they left the consoles auto aim on and its always fighting against you, sometimes even throwing your view off to the sky or a wall.
AA breaks a lot of icons (vehicle entry spots etc)
The voices and certain other sounds get repeated far too often. I cant stand having an AI gunner, simply because the spam of "Enemy sighted! Enemy is near! Enemy Sighted" 3 times a second is just irritating.
Aforementioned resolution issues (why do EA always fuck this sort of thing up?)

If Pandemic had spent another month or two on polish, this game would be great. Right now its fun but massively irritating.

Great, the same day I got the game with GameAccess (Canadian version of gamefly)

Sweet. Want to try it since I got bored with M1.

I really like this game and I hope the demo wasn't taken from some old, buggier build than the final.
