We didn't really get on with Mercenaries 2: World In Flames: the basics of combat were, well, basic, the plot was stuffed with offensively deranged machismo and the AI couldn't find its way out of a cardboard box. Some of you chaps did, though: the game has sold 1.9 million copies worldwide, and Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello has just told investors (as reported by Gamespot) to look forward to another sequel.
"There will be a Mercenaries 3 and, if I have anything to do with it, there will be a Mercenaries 10," Riccitiello declared. We assume he isn't going to miss out all the numbers in between.
World In Flames developer Pandemic is said to be taking the reins once again. As to when the game's coming out and what platforms it will support, Riccitiello's keeping schtum.

keep the blowing up stuff, and change every thing else. . let us gamers make our own characters. Make the AI much better and don't use corny lines.

As bad as 2 was, ea would be wise to not threaten anybody with another Mercs game. 1.9 mil was a dupe on a grand scale, and it's beyond reason to think of why all those people didn't listen. Maybe next time they'll pay attention to the ea "haters". Which brings up another thought: Why are people becoming more and more accepting of a such a shltty game? This situation never would have gone un-noticed last gen.

This i cool i liked merc 2 blew the heck out of all the cities with fuel air bombs and nuclear bunker busters lol cant wait for the 3. Although i wish they would add planes to the game civillians and millitary would be nice get around the map easier and faster too. To tell u the truth if they add some stuff from just cause like freefall and then parachute that would be nice, some more vehicles. alot more weapons are nice also. well that should do on the list oh and when will 3 be started i like knowing i get excited that way lol.
