Bro... this game was my childhood. The music, the missions, the endless slaughter of the North Korean soldiers, stealing those really cool South Korean attack choppers. My childhood is literally being played before my eyes and I miss it.
All these years later I can whistle right along without missing a beat to every single song. And I'm 25. I played this on release. Easily one of the best releases of the Era by far. RIP Pandemic
Number two in Venezuela is amazing also the two games didn’t differ from each other other than the 2nd basically being a whole new dlc for the original game excellence in gameplay and story telling and missions
Mercenaries 1 and 2 were big parts of my childhood I found your channel completely by accident and I've been loving it ever since. Keep up the amazing content and I can't wait for part 2.

When you receive your missions from the faction leaders sometimes there is random things you can do in the room like messing with the fishes or pouring the coffee
I must have played thousands of hours on this game. it WAS my childhood. I played hours of the PSM demo disc demo and loved every minute of it. I obsessed over this game and given the chance could play another 1000 hours. Best game EVER!!!
I don't think so. :( But there's a similar one called the Portable Airstrike, which is obtain by verifying all the Deck of 52 members or using Cheats to unlock the Cheat Weapon Drop.
@@xxbloodxreaperxx There's a extremely dangerous weapon in PoD you'll never let go this OP Rocket Launcher, it's deadlier than the Fuel-Air RPG Kit from the Sequel. It's called the Portable Airstrike, it will unlock by verifying all the Deck of 52 members or using cheat.
I actually got some tears in my eyes after watching this and thinking of my life at the time when this came out, all the good times and good family. I spent so many years after this came out still playing it and making new memories. I printed so many pages with the cheats for this game. Thank you.
Ah, a fellow cheat code user. Although, I was still afraid of going out of bounds (I can thank Jak & Daxter for giving me a phobia of going out of bounds, that lurker shark scared the shit out of me as a kid) even though I had God Mode enabled.
Me too. When my family was still mostly alive and unified. I come from an old school Eastern European family and neither of my uncles had kids and I'm an only child. It was better times.
I loved the 1st mercenaries so much. Dumped endless hours into that game as a kid. Tried playing the 2nd one time, did it for maybe a couple of hours and just wasn't into it, never picked it up again. I guess my expectations were just so high from this first game (or at least how I remembered it).
This was my favorite ps2 game. I spent years playing it and I used cheat codes to change skins. It was just amazing, honestly. The music brings back the fondest of memories. Ambiance back in the day was surreal
Played this game for hours on end for a few years. Was very fun to be able to destroy so many things in so many new and creative ways in a open world set in a warzone.
Laughing my ass off at the Colonel Garrett shaky zoom-in for “don’t you ever interrupt me again” 🤣 So glad someone with editing chops (and patience) took a whack at longplaying this game. So much nostalgia + comedy potential
I got this gem off the Xbox Store at the start of the week, after finding it. Holy fuck what a blast from the past, they got Apollo Creed himself as the American General (AN/UN my arse). And then the South Korean mission giver turns out to be Overlord Himself from the OG COD MW games. And then you find out that collecting enough shit gives you the ability to change your guy into either Han Solo or Indiana Jones. And you unlock the best vehicles in the game into the bargain, helicopters are a lifesaver, as long as you know how to handle the AAA that fight you.
I was REAAALY hoping they'd have a unlock for an AT-ST or some other vehicles from SW:Battlefront, seeing as how it was based on the same engine by LucasArts. That would've been ridiculously awesome to replay the game with.
@@Armageist Would have been good too, I forgot the first SW Battlefront game actually came out the year before Mercenaries. Alas, it didn't happen. But at least we got Han and Indy
I literally captured 100% of the deck of 52 including the last general. Which was so hard to do as a kid. I love this game. I’d just go around and fight for whatever country I’d feel like on a certain day.
I'm honestly surprised this channel doesnt have many subscribers, some of the best genuine content right here. You got me subscribed with the mercs 2 videos.
I replayed this game not too long ago, made it a point to beat the game with all bounties alive. I'm very happy I did, as this game hasn't lost a bit of its charm.
The one thing I can be thankful of my deadbeat, rude ass cousin for, is introducing me to this game when we were kids. I forgot how obsessed I was with it. It filled the void when I was a little too young for GTA yet, but it was so much more than just a placeholder. It did so many simple things right, that modern games apparently can’t manage to figure out. The freedom and “sandboxyness” of this game was so far ahead of its time. I’d give a lot of money for a faithful remake.
This was really good I recently got my monitor working with my ps2 and played it, also yes that part at 8:30 happens every time, I even remember when I was younger it would happen
Honestly I’ve only ever played the 2nd game. But playing the first for the very first time… I gotta admit this one has is more detailed. Maybe not HD but you can see the love put into this first game
Dude I played this on the ps2. Headlight issue...yes, bombs falling through map, yes. Mafia getting agro for litteraly no reason, yes. SK bugging into the ground yes. 3 of hearts teleporting infinitely, yes. OG game is a buggy mess. I will still legit die for this game.
such a weird glitch at the beginning, i'm assuming it's bc its emulated or whatever. None of those problems were on the original ps2 disc and i bought multiple in the past. I'm glad you picked up on the darker tone. It makes it soo much better, I can take it more seriously. Doesn't feel as corny like a saints row game or something like the second. And just the whole political concept of being in an NK warzone sounds more feasible or interesting to me tbh
The first game is much more better than the second! -The Merc1 tanks are much more dangerous and destructive than the Merc2 ones -The Merc1 elite soldiers,RPG soldieris are much more skilled and intelligent than the Merc2 ones. (Why hell these soldiers being static in a construction?) -The Merc1 AA systems are much better,surgical and destructive than the Merc2 ones. -The Merc1 helicopters are much more destructive than the Merc2 ones.
No one will believe me but on my Xbox One (Xbox) edition I've played Mattias and Mui. I noticed that Mattias can't get helicopters easy like Mui can, I guess you'd call it _airjacking_ so I would recommend you play Mui if you want to hijack helicopters from delivery drops and such.
8:21 I bought this on the Xbox and for me there was a North Korean Soldier making a foolish attempt at attacking the Technical. That civilian might of been in the way of the NK Soldier and was a casualty of war lol.
The game was my whole childhood on a disc. Just remembering how good the cheats were too. Such a fun and fantastic game. The cheats I tell ya the CHEATS!!!
Had this game in mind yesterday. And your videos pop up mainly for this search. :) worth it. Cracked out an old ps3 and it works. Now iv bought a new copy of mec2 What aload of crap this game not being on backwards compatible.. Will this change
Omg you are doing the thing I wanna do! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT CONTROLS YOU SET YOUR GAME TO! I can't find anything from anyone on the subject one whatsoever. Trying to get it to work on keyboard and mouse. If you're using a controller, are you using it on PC or Xbox? If PC, please tell me which controller because I really wanna play this so badly! Thanks! Just subbed and can't wait to watch more of you vids!
I use an xbox 360 cabled controller on my PC. The controls for the game are setup for playstation, so you will have some wonky controls by default. Such as, the game saying "X" when you would hit "A" using an xbox controller. I have not altered the controls, or used a mouse and keyboard. Thanks for subbing! Hope this helps!
@@ScreenSlayerOfficial Looks like I'm buying an Xbox controller then! I really wanna play this so badly on stream! I miss playing this classic game and love your series and so many of your other games! You have a unique narration style and I can't wait to see you blow up! You deserve a solid like 50k for the Quality of content you are putting out with solid editing, memes, and story lines for each episode of how you are processing
I loved this game so much probably havent played it since I was 6 or 7 but Damn I loved it. I gotta go buy myself a ps2 again. I dont remember much other than c4 car bombing every other faction that wasnt the Russian mafia. I had joined the Brotherhood at 6 years old

I recall enjoying Mercenaries 1 way more than the sequel. Good memories.
Mercenaries 2 is my childhood. I love how you complain about it cuz I know how that feels.

That’s probably my favorite quote from him, too. Surprisingly good writing in this game
Dear Friends,
There is an unstoppable Swedish mercenary with a mohawk hunting for your heads.
Good luck.
@@bluetaurus6 oh, he doesn't like me? well, you tell him to get in line, behind everyone else.
i don't see how people get confused with button configurations if you grew up playing video games. it's literally in the same spot

You can also mess with Zhou Peng's lantern.
Are you messing with my coffee

I must have played thousands of hours on this game. it WAS my childhood. I played hours of the PSM demo disc demo and loved every minute of it. I obsessed over this game and given the chance could play another 1000 hours. Best game EVER!!!
But the most important question is: Does this game also have the Cloud of Hades cannon 5,000,000?
I don't think so. :(

The Fuel Air bomb and the bunker buster but no hand hand version
nope

Really wish they would make a third like this one. The second one was... ehh. Or just a really nice remaster and add some new things
There was a third one being made alongside Sabotuer but it was canned.
Another beautiful series lost to the void. The possibilities were endless. Spent countless hours in my childhood. I gotta find a way to play it again
Man this game is just awesome. I loved playing it as a kid. I put so many hours into this game resident evil 4 and hitman blood money.

bro this game was the BOMB back in the day and still is Mercenaries and BLACK on xbox both were so so under rated and amazing games for there time
One of the most underrated games ever!
felt an itch to play mercernaries 2, looked at the first game, found this playthrough and you sir.............lol you deserve my sub lol.
Takes me wayyyyyy back, used to play this when I was 5!!!

Found this game in my collection. Popped it in my Xbox One. Played 4 hours. It's still awesome!!
Oh, sweet nostalgia.
“These guy men” thanks Fiona
Keep it up man your video quality is really good
Nice video. I played this on PS2 back in the day, was one of my favorite games.
4:50 Funniest part
I still revisit this series from time to time.. and to be honest, you should to.
Literally the best game of my childhood
An Allied Humvee with an SK Troop in East Pyongyang... do you have no shame?
I love your references to Arnold movies! Awesome presentation, man!
This game was my childhood, I use to role play after I beat the game xD
This was my favorite game I ever played when I was in 10th grade. Can't believe it's been 15 years.
Watching this for a second time because of how great this
Im so happy you went back to the mafia. A wise choice
YES that's dude!!!! Outstanding and no problem screen outstanding man just outstanding
This was really good I recently got my monitor working with my ps2 and played it, also yes that part at 8:30 happens every time, I even remember when I was younger it would happen
The mafia technical destroying the civilian sedan happened everytime on my ps2 copy also.
Honestly I’ve only ever played the 2nd game. But playing the first for the very first time… I gotta admit this one has is more detailed.
Maybe not HD but you can see the love put into this first game
"Heading back alone now ); "
i'm dead lmao
“Wow, you guys just let me do that” 😂😂😂
This game is a banger. Been playing it since 2007 👌😎
I love this game. Pandemic Studios who made original Star wars Battlefront games made this ^^ no wonder I loved it back in the days
just watched all of the mercenaries 2 series- you're about to blow up, just wait. B)
I remember playing this game it was a lot of fun.
Dude I played this on the ps2. Headlight issue...yes, bombs falling through map, yes. Mafia getting agro for litteraly no reason, yes. SK bugging into the ground yes. 3 of hearts teleporting infinitely, yes. OG game is a buggy mess. I will still legit die for this game.
the hype for only have 306 subscribers at the time was too real xD glad too see you got more
I mean if all games to remaster it’s gotta be this

-The Merc1 AA systems are much better,surgical and destructive than the Merc2 ones.
-The Merc1 helicopters are much more destructive than the Merc2 ones.
I liked this video even if there is no cloud of hades canon 5000000 thing. Tho I have a suggestion for part 2
This game was actually so good
This was my favorite game after 13 years
Now we just need 10 more eps and then where off to play EDF 5
Pretty good game, but hard when it's get tougher.
Intense nostalgia. I loved this game!

I was one of the 300... i can confirm.. i remember this moment
I only played mercenaries 2 but the first one also looks pretty cool
This is one i can see entirely 😎
Your memes are amazing lol
This game was so good
This game needs a remake!
great channel bro
Im shocked that ScreenSlayer has only about 440 subs even though he has awesome videos and has epic editing skills
I've been playing the ps2 version of Mercenaries 2 and been having a little bit of fun I should try this one it looks very similar.
this is still the best game ever made
Had this game in mind yesterday. And your videos pop up mainly for this search. :) worth it.
Cracked out an old ps3 and it works. Now iv bought a new copy of mec2
What aload of crap this game not being on backwards compatible..
Will this change
I miss this game!!!
1 of my favorite games
FIRST. Hell yeah. Awesome video!
I forgot about the music 😭😭😭 I miss this and number 2 literal Holy Grails in gaming
you can also get the game on the Xbox One, it's in the Microsoft Store.
No youre really killing me :{ now i want to play
Loved this game in my in my 20's , didnt get the second game tough
was fucking great calling in them air strikes was epic little scenes !!
Maaaan they need to make a new one. For real
"This is north Korea, no press!!!" 🤣💀
The first mercenaries game is far better than the second one. The story is way too short in the second game.
Omg you are doing the thing I wanna do!
