Mercenaries 2 'Total Payback' update coming this month

by Jem Alexander { Oct 1st 2008 at 9:30PM }

Did you enjoy Mercenaries 2? Don't answer that just now, because it's not over yet. EA has announced that a patch will be made available for the PS3 version on October 20th. This patch will add a few new features to the game (even though you'll probably be too busy playing Dead Space to notice.) First on the list are cheats, which will allow you to access all the weapons and give yourself infinite ammo and health. Because a game with no challenges is extra fun, right?

The patch will also include six new characters to play as. It will also allow for cross-region co-op play, so you can play with your pals across the world. Not bad for a free update. EA also states that more downloadable content will be following in November, though we suspect this is probably of the paid-for variety. Still, fans of the game have plenty to look forward to. For the rest of us, we'll have to keep ourselves busy with the ridiculous avalanche of games that's about to fall on top of us.

Damn shame there won't be trophies. I was looking forward to this game and loved the demo, but everything else coming out this season made it obsolete.

I know. They said they were too far in development went trophies came out, they couldn't implement it. Come on, Warhawk was one of the first games for the ps3, and even that has trophies!

But does anyone still actually care about this crap game...

yes i do, this game aint perfect but has the potential to be a better game than GT4 once they get rid of all the bugs, IMO.

Also, Jem didn't mention that you also get new some new mercenaries to play as.

It sounds like Jem doesn't like this game so nobody else should like it either.

HAAS599 @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:33AM

Opps, I see the characters were mentioned.

Sorry for that second sentence

Is this going to be available for 360 and PC users as well?

kevin @ Oct 1st 2008 10:30PM

get out.

Glen @ Oct 2nd 2008 1:58AM

You get out!

Although, it is kinda obvious that the 360 version is getting it, but I don't care about that. I have the PC version.

Jon Acheson @ Oct 2nd 2008 3:21PM

Yes, the 360 is getting this too.

Now get lost! :)
