    This game is the #1 most underrated I've ever played. It truly "did everything right". Long campaign with a challenge, open world, keen sense of militaristic detail, tons of cheat codes, and a perfectly-captured ambience I have never seen in any other game. It never tried to be a GTA copycat, it truly did its own thing.

    • @KnownAsKenji

      I don't think it was underrated, so much as simply lost. It was loved when it came out. The sequel was... not bad, but so very not bad. And EA took it and it wasn't heard from since. A simple but tragic story.

      ***** Pandemic captured large scale epicness so well. Sure their AI was meh and their games sometimes felt a little rushed and buggy, but man they were so epic. Battlefront 2 and Mercenaries had such great battles with so many vehicles and soldiers at once. Then their games on the next gen were very disappointing

    I've been whistling this song for the last years almost. I love this game so much, it'll be with me forever. I have 3 terabytes of SSDs dedicated to original Xbox, PS1, and PS2 emulation. I have to say, for game that came out in 2005, it honestly looks pretty damn good in 8K upscaling at 60FPS. Playing through the second half of the game this week. Never gets old. Mercenaries 2 is next playthrough. After that... You know it's gotta be the other gem, BLACK. Black is another game that looks good in 8K. Brings new life to the game. Let's not forget Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on PS2. Many sleepless nights playing BF2 on PS2 online. Backstab and A bridge too far, the best multiplayer maps I swear. I miss those days. Simpler times.

    I love this song, and the entire soundtrack. This is so theatrical. I can see an unmodified version of this song being the opening theme of Mercenaries: The Movie. Where it shows a war-torn country North Korea, and as soon as the actiony-part of the music plays at the beginning, it zooms in on the headquarters of the Merc HQ.

    Yes they were some of my favorites because the stakes felt high and the battles were big. The engines had so many allies and enemies fighting each other, with vehicles that had seats for multiple passengers which made the action so epic and intense. This game's sequels and star wars battlefront 3 were shat on. I loved this and SW Battlefront 2 with a passion. We will remember you Pandemic!

Like the first one took me days to complete and offered literal hours of replayability whereas the second one offered me none. Once the chinese or AN got nuked that was it. Just go around killing people for money finishing up side quests or whatever. At least the second one on ps2 had bounties to collect the ps3 version didn't which was lame.
