Join me as i journey through Mercenaries 2, after 12 years since its release. This is part 1 of a series, so don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned if you like what you see. Thanks for watching!
The game is a childhood favorite of mine. And I know they say not to go back and replay nostalgic games, because it would ruin the memories of how good the game was. But mercenaries 2 holds up so well.
as cool as a remake would be i know myself and so many other put so much time the game it would feel kinda stale playing through the story for the 1000th time. a 3rd installment though would be great but idk if it could live up to expectations since i doubt any original developers would be working on it. a remake is most likely over a 3rd game though after seeing destroy all humans get a remake.
One of the last games I’ve ever owned that still used cheat codes. In my opinion more games need to come with cheats, of course only in like a campaign mode or offline but it’s inherently more fun it seems to just have unlimited money and any weapon imaginable at your disposal. Have them only activate after you’ve completed the campaign on your own
Unfortunately people would find a way to hack the cheats to use them online. The obvious way to do it would be like Crysis Warhead which had two separate games on two separate disks, one for offline and the other for online.
This is one of my favorite last gen games I was just playing it the other day I regularly unplug my ps4 in favor of hooking up the ps3 again just so I could play this game Sure it has problems but it's so fun. I'll go as far as saying this game is probably superior compared to Just Cause 4 in terms of gameplay (a similar game that was released in 2018) Anyway, good video👍💞
I got this the day for my birthday of 2008. December of 2008 it was my first official PS3 game for as my brother got the PS3 MGS4 Bundle. Loved this game i was addicted to it so much. I loved how if you would go far away the vehicles wouldn't disappear. Used to create little FOBs with other online friends and roleplay as US soldiers it was a great game. My favorite vehicle was the Liberator aka the CH-53 as its real life counterpart. Much of a great game like its father Mercs Playground of Destruction for the PS2/XBOX
I remember back when I played this on xb360, such fun memories now im looking at an old xb360 that probably doesnt work anymore rest in piece xb360, you were one of the best
I played the hell out of this back in the day. For several years it was Saints Row 2, Mercenaries 2, Crackdown and Red Faction: Guerrilla all day every day.
Yea I remember how difficult this game was at points, I remember I loved this as a kid though but would get so pissed off with the difficulty and faulty controls but it is still so fun.
this game was so fun i remember griefing on co op it was the worst when somebody blows up your oil storage on your villa lolll loved playing this. cheats were so fun too. best troll was blowing up your buddys vehicles while they are being brought in before they get them. over and over again
@@logoutnexttime4883 i hate a HATE on EA!! all they do now is boring Battlefield.. Bf4 have praticly no servers, Battlefield Hardline is dead, Bf1 and Bf5 are both praticly dead... Bad Company 2 have PLENTY of players and Bf3 have a lots of player too, but BC2 was better. hope a BC3 will come soon but EA prefer doing a shit Battlefield with Horses lol...
That mission with the helicopters and the exec, When the radio guy says "Hey merc, come to the roof, I've got a present for you" He means for you to climb that massive oil rig thing behind the shack the exec's in. He'll fly in and drop off a Stinger missile for you to shoot down the helicopters with.
God this was a fun ass game lol. Used to play multi-player when I was in the military with a buddy back home. We would laugh our asses off playing that game together. Good times🤘
I've just restarted it myself after a decade. Pff forgot how easy it is to get into a difficult situation haha fun tho I can't wait to get my stockpile back
It's wild how it's practically a completely different game on the ps3/Xbox 360 compared the ps2. I word buy the hell out of a remastered version of this game. Hell if I was a millionaire I'd try funding the sequel lmao
ScreenSlayer still though thought you deserved to know if you wanted to play it on a current gen console. And why doesn’t it affect you don’t you play on a current gen console? And by the looks of it you seem to enjoy Mercenaries franchise.
I was never able to play GTA when I was younger, so this was always the next best thing.
bro i know its been seven months. but this WAS gta for me. hell i went to gta vice city after mercenaries 2 and man. i was dissapointed in vice
Looks like GTA 5 or the getaway with a military setting due to the multiple protagonist system
Literally what my parents let me get as an alternative!
@@samshiflett1792 not a bad alternative!
The one time where we have gta at home worked out
Run this franchise back dear God please someone needs to pick this back up!
Ghost recon wildlands is the closest modern merc game u can get ... Still like playing this on the ps3 tho !
@@tony62197 I played Ghost Recon wildlands and that shit wasn't as fun as Mercenaries
@@ilanalunis Agreed
@@tony62197 k
@@tony62197 yeah, theres that feeling when you can destroy a building
Funny how it had a more destructible environment that Just Cause 4 does now.
That's why just cause will never replace mercenaries
@HERETIC GAMER447 not big fan of science fiction shitfest games so no thank you
I remember jumping off a helicopter at max height and still live
fck my Xbox one so dam useless can’t even play this masterpiece
Every JC game after 2 Is just a downgrade honestly
@@Assassino275 I personally liked JC3 a lot, but I can agree that JC4 is..... not good.
I loved this game when it came out and I got it again about 2 weeks ago and I like it even more this go round.
So do I, but fucking hell I keep getting unlucky. My saves keep getting corrupted because the game makes it's own place to store them.
I just bought it yesterday and I’m about to start it again for the first time in ages. I’m so glad this game still holds up.
@@joavalgoli what system are you using? On xbox 360 after I did a manual save it always worked.
@@DTLTTP that's awesome man. It's great to just fuck around and wreck shit even if you don't feel like doing the story line.
The game is a childhood favorite of mine. And I know they say not to go back and replay nostalgic games, because it would ruin the memories of how good the game was. But mercenaries 2 holds up so well.
This game with cheats is a pure sandbox experience 💀
It is even without cheats)
One of the reasons i still kept my ps3
I'm replaying this right now and it's even better a decade later.
Never realized untill now how much I use to play this game .. found it in my 360 achievements
I can say i was a huge mercenaries 2 fan yes
I still have the promotional beanie.
This could have been a really good game. It felt like it was only half finished.
You gotta choose Matthias because he's played by Peter freaking Stormare.
I miss playing this game. good times.
This game was so good!! Remember playing it with my Brother, so fun. The first one was good too, miss those Games so much
This was really good the game volume was a little loud compared to your voice though.
John Farley thanks i will try to level things out more next time. 👍
One of my favourite games ever and would love a remake
as cool as a remake would be i know myself and so many other put so much time the game it would feel kinda stale playing through the story for the 1000th time. a 3rd installment though would be great but idk if it could live up to expectations since i doubt any original developers would be working on it. a remake is most likely over a 3rd game though after seeing destroy all humans get a remake.
I love how just cause is still running and theyre still years behind the first mercanaries

I love the mix of Mercs 2 gameplay with POD's soundtrack 👌
this is so nostalgic
This is one of my favorite last gen games

"T H E E N E M Y I S H E R E"
This game was awesome when I was a kid
I always wanted to buy it but i was having a ps2 in 2008 & always wanted a ps3 nowdays i have everything and im 26 yo this game still needs a remake
Damn, that commentary had me lmao, I just subbed.
PS: Keep up the great work!
Enemy soldier Sigte- 🤣 that cut is hilarious.
Glad to see someone still playing this!! Only thing holding me back is that I don’t have a console that can run the games
Randomly stumbled upon this and I have to say that I really like your content and editing
this channel is phenomenal i can’t stop watching these mercenaries playlists. such amazing childhood games

This was such a huge game of my childhood
wish I could play this game again
we can lets get modders to make this game gem great again
Buy it from Ebay like I did last August then put it away because it is crap!
Nostalgic as fuck, your videos are too good for your channel to be this small. Keep grinding bro
The first game was my favourite I still play it
Your editing is amazing and this video and series along with it is hilarious 😂
I remember those helicopters!!!! Oh god I loved this game, need to play it again!
The audio after your chopper gets shot down had me rolling
I am also playing it again on Origin. Love this game.
@@mendxo Just the textures like in the video and not to offten but apart from that its just as i remember
Were you able to play multiplayer in any way?? (I know online servers have been shut down)
Ah yes. I loved this game back when, and somehow the only thing I remember about is destructable buildings, universal petroleum and Jamaican pirates
This game is literally my childhood i still have it, me and my cousin loved playing
I remember back when I played this on xb360, such fun memories
now im looking at an old xb360 that probably doesnt work anymore
rest in piece xb360, you were one of the best

Actually funny editing, so I'll watch another one for sure
It has easily one of the best theme songs
This Chanel is underrated
The vibes 😩 I remember after beating the game I’d tactical nuke everything lol
oh man the nostalgia...
this game was so fun i remember griefing on co op it was the worst when somebody blows up your oil storage on your villa lolll
loved playing this. cheats were so fun too.
best troll was blowing up your buddys vehicles while they are being brought in before they get them. over and over again
I used to have this game for my ol PS3 but i was sadly forced to give it away. I miss playing this game, it truly is an awesome game.
Why dont u play this game on PC? It didnt take high requirement, even my low spec laptop can handle it
best game i have ever played, i wonder why the series was cancelled
EA dismantled Pandemic Studios

@@logoutnexttime4883 their last game was The Saboteur. If you like Mercenaries its worth checking out
Good video👍 Brought back a lot of memories for me

God this was a fun ass game lol. Used to play multi-player when I was in the military with a buddy back home. We would laugh our asses off playing that game together. Good times🤘
I always moved forth with the grapple hook before even touching that executive mission for UP.
Such a rated game, I wish less people knew about it so it became a hidden gem.
Finally there’s a community on mercenaries 😭😭
Amazing Game Great Video love your work dude ❤
Your narration is everything man🤣 I like the channel activity bro keep it up💯.
I love this game since I am from Venezuela... This video was extremely funny!
Dude I LOVED this game
I've just restarted it myself after a decade. Pff forgot how easy it is to get into a difficult situation haha fun tho I can't wait to get my stockpile back
I remember, as a kid, getting this game used and the disc was so scratched up it wouldn’t even read.
Such a shame cuz it looked like such a fun game.
i had the same freaking problem! they made this game on a cheap disc...
First game i got on my PS3 back in 2009, it was the only game i had along with AC2 and i played them both for years goddamn amazing games
Ahh I miss it. Nostalgia.
You could have drove the HVT to base I believe, been a while since I played but I vividly remember driving them around.
Never bought this game back in the day. I bought it a week ago and absolutely loving it!
One of my favourite games
One of the best video games i have played back then
Your very entertaining to watch Haha keep it up!
Played this game growing up and first picked it up at a blockbuster 😂😥
This game was better than most games being released today
It's wild how it's practically a completely different game on the ps3/Xbox 360 compared the ps2. I word buy the hell out of a remastered version of this game. Hell if I was a millionaire I'd try funding the sequel lmao
I'm playing this on my old 360 and I feel this is a great game
...after playing the first one, this one feels like a Black Sheep.
but it is still so much godamn fun.
This is a bad ass game, anyone that hasnt needs to check it out. Its full of 80's style action bliss \m/
I love shooting at the buildings and see it crumble hahaha
I loved this game
Loved the editing. You had my sub in the first 60 seconds.
The music and gameplay... god damn. I miss this game. Want to play it on my ps4, but i doesn't works. 😪
I would destroy the AN building every damn time I started up the game lmao
I meant UP
who else got this as a kid cuz they couldn't play gta? lol
Nice work 👍 definitely deserves more views
I remember this game from my childhood too, 2 weeks ago it was on sale for $9.99 on xbox
I really love this game.
This was my childhood!
this is great content bro lmao
same helicopter mission broke me
I remember playing the Demo for this game over and over and over lmaooo
Bro that games was good times
Im a simple man, i see Mercenaries on the title i click like and subscribe
What are you talking about you can play Mercenaries on the Xboxone
EmperorEmpoleon sorry I only said Xbox. Still doesn’t effect me in the slightest
ScreenSlayer still though thought you deserved to know if you wanted to play it on a current gen console. And why doesn’t it affect you don’t you play on a current gen console? And by the looks of it you seem to enjoy Mercenaries franchise.
EmperorEmpoleon I appreciate that. Yeah, unfortunately I abandoned my Xbox long ago for a pc. Maybe some day lol. Thanks for looking out 👍
ScreenSlayer no problem
You can play the first Mercenaries on Xbox One, not the second one for some reason.
I literally just recently bought a 360 Just to play Mercenaries 2 if that doesn't tell EA to bring the game series back then I don't know what will
Loved this game
Good old days
You can play mercenaries 1 on Xbox one with the backwards compatibility.
What kind of magic did you do to get this beauty running and looking so good on pc
I'm still playing mercenaries 2 on pc , for the Up contract u need to go the roof to deal with choppers you' find and AA rpg
I remember playing the demo of this game on the ps3 I've never got to play the full game
The driving better than gta 4 😂😂
The childhood memories
