    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.
